The Chairperson of the Morgan Tsvangirai Legacy Edwin Dzambara has sensationally accused MDC leader Nelson Chamisa of diverting over US$3 million party funds for his personal use. In a press briefing on Friday Dzambara said Chamisa abused over twenty percent of US$18 million which was allocated to the MDC under the political finances Act. He said the money was meant to pay for the medical bills of the late Morgan Tsvangirai but Chamisa diverted the funds. Chamisa’s spokesperson Nkululeko Sibanda has refuted the allegations leveled against his boss.

Through her lawyers, Mubaiwa has threatened to sue Commercial Bank of Zimbabwe (CBZ) and FBC Bank for acting illegally by taking instructions from someone who is not a signatory on her accounts VICE President Constantino Chiwenga’s estranged wife, Mary Mubaiwa, has accused the retired army general of directing two leading banks to block her from accessing her accounts. Through her lawyers, Mubaiwa has threatened to sue Commercial Bank of Zimbabwe (CBZ) and FBC Bank for acting illegally by taking instructions from someone who is not a signatory on her accounts. “The only conclusion that she has come to is that the decision not to process her transactions is synchronised and has been taken by the bank,” says a letter sent to Chiwenga’s lawyer, Wilson Manase,

AWARD-WINNING contemporary musician Jah Prayzah and comedienne Tyra “Madam Boss” Chikocho will have to wait longer to entertain their fans in neighbouring Botswana after their show scheduled for March 28 was postponed due to the coronavirus. The duo was part of a stellar line-up of artistes who were billed to perform at the annual Hamptons Jazz Festival that has since been moved to October after the organisers heeded calls to avoid public gatherings to control the spread of the viral infection. Festival founder Deborah Debbie Smith told NewsDay Life & Style yesterday the decision to postpone the festival was important to lessen travelling in order to prevent the impact of the deadly virus. “Following the President (Mokgweetsi Eric Masisi)&
Evidently, the aphorism : birds of the same feathers flock together is epitomized in this picture . The common denominators of these two Netizens are : i) their peculiar strong and barely controllable passion for Ben 10 ii) their habitual exhibitions for the love of fame iii) grasshopper- minded , they flip flop like a yo - yo ! iv) business- mindedness v) philanthropic mannerism vi) their outstanding resilience They may have their own flaws ; but in general , these two are very strong women . We have seen them shed tears in the streets of social media. In the fullness of time, they have managed to pick themselves up and solider on ! Keep on keeping Daughters of the Soil. There is light at the end of the tunnel !
BINGA, Zimbabwe (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Anyone driving through Binga, in western Zimbabwe, is greeted by a vision of the past dotted along the tarred road: thatched homes built on stilts, two meters above the ground. The elevated structures - called ngazi - were the traditional homes of the indigenous Tonga people who live in the district until a push for modernity in the 1950s led them to swap the wooden huts for brick homes built on the ground. Now, as the area experiences increasingly intense droughts and flash flooding linked to climate change, the Tonga and others living near the Zambezi River, along the border with Zambia, are looking to the lessons of the past and switching back to homes on stilts. Elias Mudenda, a villager from Siachilaba, 50 km (30 miles) from Bing
So , again , my words have come to pass .... From the commencement of this acting , I explicitly indicated that it was not authentic. I vividly recall being intellectually crucified for saying “ Only time will tell the authenticity or lack thereof this episode. Their demeanor is betraying them ”. Regrettably, most of the netizens were oblivious to this truism . Mai TT congregants/ bootlickers moronically and conveniently flashed the “ prophet of doom “ card on me . In fact , in addition , they even recklessly and stubbornly flashed the words “ mind your hokoso” on me . By the way , I hate that word with a passion . I hate it , the way I hate Mr Lipstick’s scarf ! See, in my posts , I attempt to objectively, sanely , intellectually concep
PROBLEMS continue to mount for former First Lady Grace Mugabe’s business empire after a Mazowe gold miner she allegedly displaced during her late husband, former President Robert Mugabe’s rule applied for a spoliation order to repossess the farm and equipment where his mine is located. The “spoliation order” is a common law remedy whose purpose is to promote the rule of law and to serve as a shield against cases of “self-help”, where parties take the law into their own hands and exercise “power” which they do not have. The miner, Langton Chapungu, whose case was already in the High Court seeking the eviction of the former First Lady; together with two other individuals who were only identified in court papers as Tongai and Jemwa, made a
The wife of a missing pro-democracy campaigner and freelance journalist, has submitted a letter to President Emmerson Mnangagwa protesting that her husband, who was abducted five years ago, "cannot go unaccounted for just like that” and appealed for help to get answers to ascertain Itai Dzamara’s disappearance. The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights helped Sheffra Dzamara to submit the letter, which is calling for an immediate response from the Zimbabwean president. “… I believe someone in your government knows what happened to him. If the abductors killed him, give me his body so that I can grieve, bury and get closure. I can also take my kids to his grave and say here lies your father. With tears, I appeal to you as the president to help me. I sin
