The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC), a subsidiary of ZESA Holdings, says the prepaid electricity token purchase system will not be available from the 5th to the 6th of May 2023.
Initially, ZETDC had said its prepaid electricity token purchase system will not be available from 5 to 7 May, but apparently, the period has been reduced.
In a public notice issued this Saturday, ZETDC advised its customers that they will not be able to buy the prepaid electricity tokens from 4.30 PM on 5 May to midnight on the 6th of May 2023. Reads the notice:
<blockquote>
This notice serves to advise all Valued Clients on the unavailability of the prepaid electricity token purchase system from 5 May 2023 at 1630 hours to 6 May 2023 at 2400 hours.
This is to allow for major system maintenance on the prepaid vending system.
Clients are therefore advised to make arrangements to purchase sufficient electricity tokens to sustain them during the service disruption period.
The inconvenience caused is sincerely regretted.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Friday said Western-imposed sanctions are actually good for Zimbabwe as they have almost turned the country into an attraction for foreign exhibitors.
Mnangagwa made the remarks while addressing journalists soon after touring stands at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF).
He was being accompanied by visiting Eswatini King Mswati III who officially opened the fair. <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/mnangagwa-says-western-imposed-sanctions-are-good/">Mnangagwa said</a>:
<blockquote>
People get excited by sanctions; that is why they come here to see what happens under sanctions.
In fact, you see that sanctions are very good. Numbers are increasing, increasing, and increasing.
The Americans are here, the British are here, and the European Union is here, what else would we want?
Everybody is here, so this re-engagement and engagement are bearing fruits.
You see, perhaps they (international exhibitors) heard that His Majesty (King Mswati) is coming.
That’s why they are here. In fact, if that is the reason next year he is going to come again.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe has been subject to various sanctions by Western countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union, for alleged human rights abuses, political instability, and economic mismanagement.
In 2001, the United States enacted the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (ZDERA).
ZDERA imposed targeted sanctions on Zimbabwe, including travel bans and asset freezes on senior Government officials, and also restricts US support for international financial institutions providing assistance to Zimbabwe.
Sanctions have contributed to Zimbabwe’s economic decline by restricting access to foreign investment, credit lines, and trade partners.
Sanctions are, however, not the only factor contributing to Zimbabwe’s challenges.
Other factors, such as corruption, mismanagement, and political instability have also contributed to Zimbabwe’s socio-economic problems.

Mnangagwa Says Sanctions "Are Good" For Zimbabwe

Former Vice President Kembo Mohadi is still carrying out crucial duties at national level and enjoys all the privileges that are associated with his former office such as cars, security or salary and allowances, reported <a href="https://thenewshawks.com/mohadi-continues-with-vp-duties-despite-resignation/">The NewsHawks</a>.
There are indications that Mohadi will be reinstated in his former office if President Emmerson Mnangagwa manages to win general elections later this year.
Mohadi, who is the ZANU PF’s second secretary and vice president, has been using the motorcade he had during his tenure as Vice President.
He has also been enjoying protection from the Presidential Guard, a military unit that protects members of the executive.
An unnamed senior government official told The NewsHawks that Mohadi has been engaging traditional leaders across the country on behalf of Mnangagwa. Said the official:
<blockquote>
Since his resignation, Mohadi has done a lot of groundwork to boost Mnangagwa’s re-election bid.
He has travelled throughout the country meeting party structures and key stakeholders to focus them on the elections.
Among those that Mohadi has been engaging on behalf of Mnangagwa are traditional leaders.
He has met village heads, headmen and chiefs countrywide and facilitated that they get US dollar allowances and salaries.
He has also directed the party’s grassroots structures to work closely with traditional leaders in all their activities.
Traditional leaders have a lot of power in rural areas and what he is doing will certainly help Mnangagwa.
So come 2023, you will see him back as vice president if the President wins the elections. He is the President’s man.
In any case, he lost the title of the country’s vice-president but has maintained all other privileges, be it cars, security, or salary and allowances.
</blockquote>
Mohadi resigned in 2021 in shame following allegations he was using his office for sexual encounters with his aides, including married women.
However, on 18 April this year, he was the guest of honour and officiated at the Independence Cup trophy presentation where Highlanders edged rivals Dynamos 5-3 on penalties.

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa says President Emmerson Mnangagwa has taken Zimbabwe back to Rhodesian-era oppression following the conviction of political activist Jacob Ngarivhume on public violence incitement charges.
Chamisa said Ngarivhume’s conviction is a betrayal of the gains of the liberation struggle, namely freedom, choice, and justice.
Posting on Twitter, Chamisa lamented what he described as the weaponisation of the law to punish Government critics. He wrote:
<blockquote>
The Jacob Ngarivhume conviction is a reminder of what’s broken about Zimbabwe. The liberation struggle was about freedom, choice and justice.
It is ridiculous and scandalous that chambers of justice have been turned into chambers of politics and guillotines of justice.
The weaponization of the law against critics is a replica of the Rhodesian regime template of oppression. ED has taken us back to Rhodesian oppression.
It mustn’t be criminal to oppose those who abuse power and authority. Zimbabwe shall be free! We’re fixing all this. Get ready!
</blockquote>
Ngarivhume was on Friday sentenced to four years in jail following his conviction the previous day of public violence incitement charges.
He was convicted by Harare magistrate Feresi Chakanyuka after a full trial that lasted almost three years.
Ngarivhume’s defence team led by Lovemore Madhuku said they are going to appeal both the sentence and conviction at the High Court.

The Government through the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) says it will assist the families of the 10 men who lost their lives in a veld fire incident in Umzingwane District last year.
The affected families are set to receive a bereavement package, which includes an education fund to put the children of the deceased through school.
Mhlaliswa Ngwenya, who survived the fire disaster, will also receive a US$1 000 token of appreciation.
In a speech read on his behalf by Environmental Management Agency board chairman, Ambassador Zenzo Nsimbi, Environment, Climate, Tourism and Hospitality Industry Minister Mangaliso Ndlovu said:
<blockquote>
The death of the 10 men was a loss not only to their immediate families but to the entire nation. Such a loss is not felt by the immediate families only but by the entire nation.
This relief involves payment of a once-off condolence token to the next of kin for the three victims without spouses and children, payment of a once-off bereavement relief to the surviving spouses of seven victims, and payment of a once-off token of appreciation to the sole survivor of the fire disaster.
</blockquote>
The ten people died at a farm known as Lot 43 of Essexvale, near Falcon College, while trying to put out a raging veldt fire.
Veld fires are a significant problem in Zimbabwe, particularly during the dry season between May and October.
They are are often caused by human activity, such as improper disposal of cigarette butts or burning of fields for agricultural purposes.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has taken delivery of a US$54 million presidential jet – a Dassault Falcon 7X.
According to a <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/mnangagwa-buys-swanky-us54-million-presidential-jet/">ZimLive</a> report, the aircraft was delivered in March, but it was not put into service until this week.
The jet, bearing the registration P4-SIM, appears brand new and its first known flight, according to tracking service FlightRadar24, was a flight from Paris in France to Johannesburg, South Africa, on 01 March.
Mnangagwa (80) used the aircraft for a flight to Victoria Falls on Wednesday where he hosted the Transform Africa Summit attended by four other African leaders.
He again flew on the aircraft to Bulawayo on Friday for the official opening of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF). ZimLive quoted a source as saying:
<blockquote>
The aircraft arrived in early March and initially landed at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport.
It was subsequently flown to the Air Force of Zimbabwe’s Manyame Airbase where it is being kept.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa has reportedly also approved the acquisition of four “VIP transport helicopters”.

The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) has warned members of the public against using some 48kg cylinders that are being brought into the country illegally and others whose brand identifications have been tampered with.
In a public notice, ZERA also warned LPG wholesalers who fill cylinders that do not belong to them, saying they will be penalised. Reads the notice:
<blockquote>
The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) wishes to advise the public that there are some 48kg cylinders that are being used unsafely and illegally for the distribution of LPG in the country.
This includes 48kg cylinders smuggled from neighboring countries and others whose brand identifications have been tampered with.
Such cylinders are unsafe as no one in the country bears responsibility for their maintenance and safety.
In terms of LPG regulations and for safety reasons, only brand owners of 48kg cylinders or their authorized agents, are entitled to fill and maintain them.
It is a license condition that LPG wholesalers own and refill their own branded 48kg cylinders or obtain permission from brand owners if they need to fill cylinders that do not belong to them.
ZERA will not hesitate to act against wholesalers violating this license condition.
Some of the cylinders shown below have no licensed owners in Zimbabwe and some were smuggled from South Africa and Botswana and are circulating in Zimbabwe without the owners’ consent and support.
<ul>
<li>Reatile Wasaa</li>
<li>Tswana</li>
<li>Easigas</li>
<li>Totalgaz</li>
<li>Mendon</li>
<li>Oryx</li>
<li>Eiendon</li>
<li>ORT</li>
<li>Kasa</li>
<li>Avedia</li>
<li>ELF Gas</li>
<li>BP</li>
</ul>
Owners of the above cylinders are not licensed to operate in Zimbabwe and as such, these cylinders have no maintenance support in the country.
For safety reasons, members of the public and LPG retailers are warned against using such cylinders because their owners cannot be held liable for accidents arising out of unauthorized use of these cylinders in the country.
Consumers are encouraged to approach licensed LPG wholesalers and retailers for good quality gas and safe cylinders.
ZERA is working with fellow regulators to eliminate the menace of smuggled cylinders in the market and urges LPG retailers and consumers to report any LPG wholesaler they find filling or selling smuggled 48kg cylinders.

LP Gas can be dangerous if not handled properly. Some potential dangers associated with LP gas are fire and explosions, carbon monoxide poisoning, burns, and asphyxiation.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has conferred liberation hero status on the late Vice President Simon Muzenda’s late son, Tongai Muzenda.
In a letter to the Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet Dr Misheck Sibanda dated 28 April, ZANU PF Secretary for Administration Obert Mpofu wrote:
<blockquote>
His Excellency, the President and First Secretary of Zanu PF, Cde Dr E.D Mnangagwa has conferred a liberation hero status to the late Cde Tongai Muzenda who died on 26 April 2023 and will be buried at Chingito Farm, Tariro Village, Gutu.
The family can be contacted through our Masvingo Provincial Office. I shall be most grateful if you would make the usual arrangements for his burial and payment of benefits to his family. He is from Masvingo Province.
</blockquote>
Muzenda, who was the Minerals and Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe general manager, was killed in a car crash on Wednesday night.
He was a former Deputy Minister of Labour and Public Service and also served as a Member of Parliament for the Gutu West constituency.

Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono has said political activist Jacob Ngarivhume is being persecuted for fighting corruption.
Ngarivhume, who was represented by Professor Lovemore Madhuku, was convicted by Harare Magistrate Feresi Chakanyuka on Thursday on charges of inciting public violence after a full trial.
On Friday, Ngarivhume was sentenced to four years imprisonment by Chakanyuka but 12 months were conditionally suspended, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/zimlive/status/1651966094490456065">ZimLive</a>.
Posting on Facebook, Chin’ono said it was not only Ngarivhume who was on trial, but every Zimbabwean’s constitutional rights guaranteed by the Zimbabwean constitution was also on trial. He wrote:
<blockquote>
As Zimbabwean political activist Jacob Ngarivhume awaits his sentence this morning after being convicted yesterday for something underwritten in our constitution, we should all remember that Jacob is only a symbol.
What was on trial and is being sentenced today is everyone’s right to exercise YOUR constitutional rights guaranteed by the Zimbabwean constitution.
It is that very same constitution that was on trial and is being sentenced.
Consequent to understanding that reality should also make us know that selective solidarity shows that we are not yet ready to fight for everyone’s rights and the national cause, we are still fighting for personalities.
It means we are not yet ready to fight for OUR and EVERYONE’S freedom.
Stand tall Jacob knowing that your persecution is everyone’s persecution.
All those who are genuinely pursuing respect for the rule of law and constitutionalism stand with you.
Whatever sentence is delivered this morning, we will stand with you because fighting against corruption should never be criminalized!
We take comfort as ordinary citizens in seeing all the messages of solidarity from some bold opposition leaders who understand what this is about.
It is not about individuals being persecuted, it is about what those individuals are being persecuted for, our quest for freedom for all and a better society where we are governed by the law, not political orders.
Solidarity gives those being persecuted strength to carry on, they are not fighting for themselves, they are fighting for all of us.
Understanding that is the beginning of political wisdom which should reside in all of us.
</blockquote>
Incitement to public violence is defined as the act of urging, encouraging, or advocating for the use of violence by members of the public against other individuals or groups. The offense carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
The Government has been accused of using the charge of incitement to public violence to suppress dissent and opposition.
Several political activists, journalists, and other individuals who speak out against the ruling party or its policies have been arrested and charged with incitement to public violence.

Ngarivhume Being Persecuted For Fighting Corruption - Chin'ono

The Bulawayo City Council (BCC) has temporarily closed Hillside Road from 14th Avenue to 23rd Avenue / Burns Drive intersection and Samuel Parirenyatwa Street from 12th Avenue to 14th Avenue this Friday.
The road will be closed from 7 AM to 5 PM to facilitate the Official Opening of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF).
ZIFT will be officially opened by the King of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), His Majesty King Mswati III.
In a statement, Bulawayo Town Clerk Christopher Dube advised motorists to use diversion routes. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
The City of Bulawayo would like to advise members of the public of a temporary closure of Hillside Road from 14th Avenue to 23rd Avenue / Burns Drive intersection and Samuel Parirenyatwa Street from 12th Avenue to 14th Avenue on Friday, 28th April 2023 between 07:00 hours and 17:00 hours.
This is to facilitate the Official Opening of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF).
The diversion routes between the 23rd Avenue / Burns Drive and 12th Avenue intersections will be signposted via the Matopos Road and 12th Avenue Extension.
Each junction off the Hillside Road between 23rd Avenue and 12th Avenue will be closed during the Official Opening and manned by Traffic Management Team.
If you approach Hillside Road within the closure area to travel east or west, the Traffic Management Team will ask you to turn around and use the diversion route.
If that is not possible, or if you need to access another junction or property within the closed area, the traffic management team will guide you safely through the closure.
Every effort has been made to ensure disruption to traffic, businesses and residents is kept to a minimum. However, the road closure will inevitably cause some disruption, and for this, the City of Bulawayo wishes to apologise in advance.
The motoring and the general public are advised to exercise extreme caution when entering and leaving the said locations and to observe all warning signs and to follow the instructions of the Zimbabwe Republic Police.
The City of Bulawayo wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Bulawayo's Hillside Road Closed For ZITF Official Opening

Eswatini monarch King Mswati III, who is on a State visit to the country, has called for the unconditional removal of sanctions imposed by the West on Zimbabwe saying they are hurting the whole of Africa.
Mtswati is expected to officially open the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair in Bulawayo this Friday.
Speaking after a meeting with President Emmerson Mnangagwa at State House in Harare on Thursday, Mswati said:
<blockquote>
I have been very much impressed to see how much work has been done and we are aware that Zimbabwe is still going through some difficulties as a result of the sanctions which were imposed on this country which we hope, all of us not only the Kingdom of eSwatini but Africa as a whole is looking forward to the day these sanctions will be lifted because these sanctions are not only hurting the people of Zimbabwe but the whole of Africa.

King Mswati III Calls For Unconditional Removal Of Sanctions

Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) Governor John Mangudya said that the gold-backed digital token set to be introduced in the coming weeks will act as a store of value and will also be used for transactions.
Speaking in an interview with <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/rbz-gold-digital-tokens-to-hit-market-next-month/">The Herald</a> on Thursday, Mangudya said the introduction of the gold-backed digital token is expected to suck excess liquidity from the market and stabilise the Zimbabwe dollar which has been in free-fall on the parallel market. Said Mangudya:
<blockquote>
Inflation, which has also declined in US dollar terms, is expected to further decline, so the outlook is very good.
Going forward, inflation will continue to decline due to stabilising local currency, as the RBZ expects to introduce gold-backed digital tokens.
The gold-backed digital token will act as a store of value, and secondly, they can be used for transactions.
By doing so, this will mop up all the excess liquidity in the market, and stabilise the currency.
</blockquote>
The latest statistics from Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZimStat) show that annual inflation declined by 12.4 percentage points to 75.2 percent in April 2023.
However, on a monthly basis, consumer prices increased by 2.4 percent in April, the most in six months, after decreasing by 0.1 percent in the prior month.
Zimbabwe’s annual inflation climbed to a two-year high of 284.94 percent last year while the monthly rate peaked at 30.2.
Since the beginning of 2023, ZIMSTAT has been measuring inflation using a weighted average of items priced in Zimbabwean dollars and United States dollars.
Previously the rate of inflation was based only on items in Zimbabwean dollars.
Last month, <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/blended-inflation-rate-is-pure-undiluted-heresy-biti/">former Finance Minister Tendai Biti the government to measure inflation using a weighted average</a> of items priced in Zimbabwean dollars and United States dollars is insincere and an attempt to conceal rising inflation. He said:
<blockquote>
Inflation is the measure of the price movement of a good over a period of time. Any good has one price so the blend rate is pure undiluted heresy and is a disingenuous attempt to muddle the ever-rising rate of inflation.

Digital Currency To Stabilise Zimbabwe Dollar - Mangudya

Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) members have removed Christopher Mutsvangwa from his position as the chairman of the organisation.
War veterans accuse Mutsvangwa of unprofessionalism and failure to improve their livelihoods.
Addressing journalists in Harare on Wednesday, the ex-combatants said they have appointed a National Interim Committee with the Government’s blessing.
The interim committee’s vice chair, Ethan Matibela said the last ZNLWVA elective congress was held 10 years ago and Mutsvangwa’s tenure lapsed several years ago. Said Matibela:
<blockquote>
The Association’s constitution dictates that the organization should be run and operated by an elected national executive whose mandate would last for five years and thereafter, an elective congress would be conducted.
On several occasions, the association has experienced a gross disregard for its constitutional processes, chief among them, the lack of professionalism, no functioning systems in place, undue interference, lack of accountability and no clear programmes to embark on during the life of the sitting committee.
</blockquote>
He added that the majority of war veterans are without access to basic healthcare services, a decent living pension and no decent accommodation.
Matibela applauded the late former chairperson Chengerai Hunzvi for pushing the Government to give war veterans a $50 000 gratuity each in the late 1990s. He said:
<blockquote>
After this payment, the association suffered as management diverged from the core business of the private voluntary organisation’s welfare.
The ministry advised us to create a National Interim Committee to resuscitate the association by preparing an elective congress upon which a fresh mandate will be given to a new national executive to run the affairs of the association for the next five years.
</blockquote>
Speaking to <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/war-vets-feud-zanu-pfs-mutsvangwa-ousted-for-lack-of-accountability-unprofessionalism/">NewZimbabwe.com,</a> Mutsvangwa said it was wrong for war veterans to wash their dirty linen in public. He said:
<blockquote>
I never feuded with my fellow war veterans during and after the liberation war. I am not going to feud with them now.
This is unbecoming for war veterans to feud in the public domain. I will never comment on what they are saying.
</blockquote>
The ZNLWVA was founded in 1990 to represent the interests of war veterans. It has been involved in various activities over the years, including advocating for better benefits for war veterans and supporting and speaking out against perceived injustices.
However, critics say ZNLWVA has become too closely aligned with ZANU PF and that its leaders have used their position to promote their own interests rather than those of all war veterans.

War Veterans Oust Christopher Mutsvangwa

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has expressed shock over the death of the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe (MMCZ) general manager and former Deputy Minister, Tongai Muzenda.
<a href="https://www.zimlive.com/mmcz-boss-tongai-muzenda-killed-in-borrowdale-car-crash-aged-57/">ZimLive</a> reported friends of the late former Gutu West MP as saying he crashed his Toyota Prado into an electricity pole in Borrowdale at about 10 PM on Wednesday.
Muzenda was the son of the late Vice President Simon Muzenda. He was 57.
In his condolence message, Mnangagwa said the MMCZ is all the poorer without the late Muzenda: Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
I learnt with a deep sense of shock, horror and grief of the death last night in a car crash of Cde Tongai Muzenda, son of our late Vice President, Dr Simon Vengai Muzenda. 
A promising and trustworthy young executive, the late Cde Tongai Muzenda had been put in charge of our strategic arm, the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe, MMCZ, at which he provided excellent leadership. Today the MMCZ is all the poorer without him.
The late departed served our country in various capacities, including that of a Deputy Minister of Government under the First Republic, and as a Member of Parliament for Gutu West Constituency. 
Before his political career, soon after his University studies, the late Cde Tongai joined the corporate world as a young executive. 
He acquitted himself remarkably well in all these roles, thus upholding the Family tradition of enterprise, public spiritedness and great service to our Nation. 
In that sense, he was a true chip off the old block, and we deeply mourn his untimely demise in such violent circumstances.
Alongside his peers, the late Cde Muzenda helped shape our mining sector, including playing the key role of policy sounding board at a time
when we seek to refashion this sector so it keeps pace with expectations of our Nation, and with emerging global mining trends and standards. He will be sorely missed by all of us in Government, especially by those operating at the level of initiating mining policy.
On behalf of the Party, Zanu PF, Government, our Nation, my Family and on my behalf, I wish to express my deepest, heartfelt condolences to the Muzenda Family, and to the surviving spouse and children on this their saddest loss. 
May they find solace in the outstanding service the late departed rendered to his People and Nation during his short lifetime. We shall always remember his contributions to our Nation.
May his dear soul rest in eternal peace.

Mnangagwa Mourns The Late Tongai Muzenda

A 49-year-old man from Hwedza, Mashonaland East Province is on the run after allegedly killing his mother over allegations of witchcraft.
The suspect, Everisto Magaisa, reportedly attacked his mother Faustina Magaisa with an unknown object on Wednesday morning and left her unconscious.
He then informed his brother Francis, that he had assaulted their mother and left her unconscious.
Francis informed the village head who rushed and found the victim lying in a pool of blood.
Police were informed and and came and rushed her to Mt St Marys Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
ZRP seputy spokesperson for Mashonaland East Province Assistant Inspector Misheck Denhere confirmed the incident to The Herald. He said:
After assaulting his mother, he went to his brother’s homestead where he also indicated that he was looking for his cousin Jealous whom he accused of dating his wife some time back.
He also indicated that he was intending to confront his other brother whom he accused of telling him that he was a psychiatric person.
Mental illness is a significant concern in Zimbabwe and one of the biggest challenges the country faces is the lack of resources and funding for mental health services.
Another challenge is the stigma surrounding mental illness in Zimbabwe. 
Many people still believe that mental illness is a sign of weakness or spiritual possession, and this can prevent individuals from seeking help.
Economic hardship, unemployment, and poverty in Zimbabwe have contributed to a rise in mental health issues, including depression and anxiety.
The signs of mental illness include sudden or extreme shifts in mood, an increased desire to isolate oneself from friends and family, and unexplained aches and pains, headaches, fatigue, or other physical symptoms that do not have a clear medical cause.
Mentally ill people may experience thoughts of self-harm or suicide and abuse alcohol, drugs, or other substances.
