Information coming from Matabeleland North indicate that Chief Nhlanhlayamangwe Felix Ndiweni of Nhlambabaloyi has been removed as Chief by the Matabeleland North Provincial Chief's Council. Reports that were obtained by this reporter indicate that Chief Ndiweni was removed because his appointment was not in accordance with the Traditional Leaders Act because he was not the first born in the family. The motion was said to be moved by a Chief from Binga. After much discussion the motion sailed through the council. The decision has been sent to the National Chief's Council for it to be adopted at national level. The Traditional leaders Act says the President shall appoint chiefs to preside over communities inhabiting Communal Land and resettlement are
Grace Mugabe: Mnangagwa will not last 3 years. The embattled former first lady who is facing eviction from Teviotdale Farm, situated in Harare’s Pomona area, reportedly ran riot and hurled insults at the aggrieved land claimants, accusing them of being Mnangagwa loyalists sent to eject her from the property. Grace allegedly chased away the land claimants with the aid of mercenaries whom she had hired, going against a court order that nullifies her ownership of the property. Former Zimbabwean First Lady Grace Mugabe is reported to have recently launched a scathing attack on President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his government during a stand-off with three landowners who were disposed of their land during late former President Robert Mugabe’s rule. DailyNews reports that, pr
South African opposition leader Julius Malema of the Economic Freedom Front (EFF) has described as "small minded" and "foolish" the targeting of Grace Mugabe by enemies of her late husband and former President Robert Mugabe. Malema on Tuesday said Mugabe's enemies must accept that he defeated them while he still loved and stop bothering his surviving spouce. Grace has in recent weeks clashed with "invaders" into her properties whom she believes have been sent by allies of President Mnangagwa to fix her. Grace Mugabe fronted the G40 faction that was involved in a bitter succession war with the Lacoste faction led by Mnangagwa before her late husband was ousted in a coup in November 2017. "There are small minded people who always get t
Acie Lumumba is back on social media after over 3 months of self social media exile he is back and making waves. Acie was on SABC where he talked about the new Zimbabwean Currency watch video below.
IN AN ominous development for President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his under pressure government, the United States of America (USA) has slapped State Security minister Owen Ncube with sanctions over allegations of gross human rights violations. This comes after Mnangagwa and Zanu PF staged widely-criticised anti-sanctions marches around the country on Friday, in which they blamed the US and the European Union (EU) for Zimbabwe's deepening economic rot. The sanctioning of Ncube - said to be one of Mnangagwa's closest confidantes - also comes as the US and the EU are increasingly and publicly becoming more critical of Harare, despite the government's repeated claims of being committed to a truly "new" dispensation and to normalising its relations with the West. Un
After the video made by the young rebel leader who wants to start a civil war in Zimbabwe. I remembered that at a meeting on the 22nd of January 2019, the two men in the picture below, #ToddMaforimbo and Tino Mambeu proposed that as young Zimbabweans we should engage white South Africans and exRhodesians for weapons to overthrow the Zimbabwean government. Tino went further to say that he had the support of young people in Hillbrow and Yoeville who are ready to launch military operations in Zimbabwe if he could get sponsorship, which he wanted me to help him soilicit. I asked them why they invited me to a meeting that talks about such treachery knowing my proZimbabwe position and immediately the subject changed. The agenda of using violence against government is a real,
Zimbabwean police have put breaks to a planned public protest by the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) led by Nelson Chamisa on the current economic hardships in the country scheduled for Thursday in Harare, a day before Zanu PF’s anti-sanctions march. In a letter addressed to the MDC and signed by the Officer Commanding Harare, Chief Superintendent Oscar Mugomeri, police said, without elaborating, that the MDC’s planned protest did not meet some requirements of the Public Order and Security Act. “The office acknowledges receipt of your notification letter on the 16th of October 2019 dated 15 October 2019 in which you intend to hold a demonstration in the C.B.D on the 42th of October 2019 from 1000 hours to 1600 hours. “Your notification does not fu
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has reportedly rejected proposals by the Zimbabwe Heads of Christian Denominations (ZHOCD) for the country to suspend national elections for seven years and focus on rebuilding a nation with a battered economy and deteriorating human rights record. According to the state-controlled Sunday Mail, Mnangagwa says the government is bound by the nation’s constitution, and any move to suspend elections will be unconstitutional. He is quoted as saying the principles of good governance include a multiparty democratic political system, universal adult suffrage and equality of votes; free, fair and regular elections, orderly transfer of power following elections, respect to the rights of all political parties; observance of the separation of powers and respect
FRESH divisions have emerged in the opposition MDC as its bigwigs are not happy with the idea of the party engaging in a national dialogue with the ruling Zanu PF. Rising inflation and a general spike in the cost of living has piled pressure on the country’s political protagonists to find a lasting solution to the floundering economy. Members of the clergy and civic organisations want President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Nelson Chamisa to engage in a dialogue aimed at defeating the current socio- economic crisis. But some senior MDC members, led by the party’s co-vice president Tendai Biti, are against the idea of engaging President Mnangagwa in a dialogue, because the ruling party’s policies will lead to its natural death. Biti has already hit the ground running mob
THE Economist Intelligence Union, a member of The Economist Group has released a 2023 election forecast predicting a crushing landslide win for the ruling party ZANU PF, insisting that the opposition MDC led by Nelson Chamisa was weak and lacked political capacity to hold Government to account. The EUI which has over 60 years in intelligence gathering and reporting on countries also projected that the Zimbabwean dollar will be Z$7.1 : USD$1 in 2024. The report was released on 9 October 2019. Read an extract of the projection below: In the most recent presidential election, in July 2018, Mr Mnangagwa won 50.8% of the votes just enough to avoid a run-off against his nearest rival, Nelson Chamisa of the MDC. Mr Chamisa secured 44.3% of the vote, with the remainder spread across the o
