Zimbabwean police Saturday used dogs and tear gas to break up the country's main opposition party rally as President Emmerson Mnangagwa delivered an address a few kilometers away unhindered. Police descended on thousands of unsuspecting members of the Zimbabwe Citizens’ Coalition for Change waiting for their leader, Nelson Chamisa, to address them in Gokwe, about 300km southwest of Harare for VOA News. The police used dogs and tear gas to disperse the rally for allegedly violating COVID-19 regulations barring more than 100 people from gathering. Fadzayi Mahere, spokeswoman of Citizens’ Coalition for Change, was among them and blames President Emmerson Mnangagwa. “We saw a regrettable selective application of the law by the Zimbabwe Republic Police. So, the po
Comedienne, Lorraine Guyo of the “Ndinyengeiwo” fame is lucky to be alive after she was involved in an accident last night. It is not yet clear where she was coming from or where she was going. More details about the accident are still sketchy. She was driving the Mercedes Benz received from Bold Gains when she was appointed their brand ambassador. Lorraine was awarded the brand new Mercedes Benz by Bold Gains last year in December at a ceremony held at Meilkes Hotel. Taking to social media, Lorraine shared pictures from the handover ceremony. She also went on to thank Bold gains for awarding her the car. She wrote; “Mwari wenherera mupenyu veduwe. Thank you very much @boldgainszimbabweofficial for appointing me the Brand ambassador for
There may be faults with the law and the interpretation of the law by the judiciary in Zimbabwe as compared to Malawi, but my observation is that the main reason why the Nelson Chamisa petition failed is the combination of lack of coordination, feelings of entitlement and an attitude of ‘I know it all’ that pervades the Zimbabwean political elites. Across the board, once they can discern some kind of a following, politicians in Zimbabwe tend to be rather arrogant and treat their followers like complete idiots. It is not uncommon at rallies in Zimbabwe to hear a politician abusing people in attendance and the crowds bursting out laughing hysterically. Perhaps a certain 19th Century French philosopher, Joseph de Maistre’s contempt for ‘the people’ who elec
High Court Dismisses Marry Chiwenga’s Kuramba Kurambwa Rules Divorce Legal After US$100 Gupuro The High Court has dealt Marry Mubaiwa a significant blow after ruling that her marriage to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga is over because he legally divorced her. High Court judge Justice Owen Tagu dismissed Marry’s claims. He ruled that VP Chiwenga legally divorced her when he sent retired Lieutenant General Anselem Sanyatwe to give her US$100 as a divorce token, gupuro in vernacular. Sanyatwe was head of the National Reaction Force that used live bullets on protestors, killed six civilians, and injured 35 more on August 1, 2018. The High Court ruling comes after Marry challenged Chiwenga’s divorce petition, filed in December 2019. In her response
EIGHT Zimbabweans, including a Bulawayo woman who is charged for fraud and corruption, are currently on the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) most wanted list for allegedly committing serious crimes. The eight are part of 7 443 criminals from a number of countries worldwide who are on the Red List of Interpol, an international organisation that facilitates worldwide police cooperation and crime control. A Red Notice is a request to law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action. Those on the notice are accused of committing offences ranging from murder, terrorism, corruption, human trafficking and escaping lawful custody. Of the eight Zimbabweans on the red notice, two are f
Chamisa’s CCC Should Be Barred From Using The Yellow Colour – Zanu PF The ruling Zanu PF party has claimed that Nelson Chamisa’s newly formed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) plagiarised their yellow theme colour adding that it should be barred from using it since it may confuse the electorate. After the new party name and theme were announced last week, many people were hooked on an initiative to promote the brand.reports that while addressing a gathering to mark Zanu PF by-election campaign in Chitungwiza on Sunday, Zanu PF’s acting youth league deputy secretary Tendai Chirau, provincial chairperson Godwills Masimirembwa and deputy national political commissar Omega Hungwe said Chamisa’s party must be ignored. Masimirembwa said: “They wa
MBANJE, marijuana, cannabis or hemp, is one plant that has accounted for many people in Zimbabwe’s prisons. Possession, let alone, cultivation or smoking it, has had serious consequences such as being fined or ultimately been jailed or both. For years, Zimbabwe has classified it as a dangerous drug and yet, it has many medicinal properties. It is no secret that African countries have woken up quickly to the reality of the rapidly growing cannabis industry with a focus on medicinal products. In a matter of just a few years, countries that have for nearly a century held laws completely prohibiting the cannabis plant in all ways, practically overnight opened up their countries to legally cultivate cannabis commercially. In 2018 the New Dispensation in Zimbabwe changed its
THOKOZANI Khupe has revealed that the MDC-T received assistance from the state through judicial and parliamentary processes in their fight to destroy the Chamisa-led MDC Alliance. This would seem to confirm the long-held belief that the state is sponsoring turbulences in the opposition party. Khupe and her former ally, Douglas Mwonzora have crossed paths, with the former deputy prime minister and Makokoba legislator on Friday announcing she had taken over leadership of the party in an acting capacity. She charged Mwonzora had expelled himself from the opposition party by writing to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) on January 3, declaring that he was the leader of the MDC Alliance. Khupe made the statements during a press conference held in Bulawayo on Friday. Mwonzora ha
EFF leader Julius Malema forced the owners of Kream restaurant at the Mall of Africa in Midrand, Johannesburg, to meet him and two other party MPs after initially refusing on Wednesday. Malema and EFF spokesperson Vuyani Pambo met Kream manager Romon De Comarmond outside the establishment. Comarmond initially refused to meet the EFF delegation led by Malema, stating: “No, we are not going to meet with a delegation, Julius, I can’t. I’m going to speak to the management and I’ll let you know.” Malema insisted that he had an appointment with Comarmond and Kream. ”There is no appointment with me, you have not come with me with an appointment,” Comarmond fired back. However, Malema responded: “The problem is that people come to you
