The five girls from an extended family in Bindura, tragically killed by a speeding vehicle on Saturday, were given a State-assisted funeral and laid to rest at Makusha Cemetery on Monday, September 30.
According to <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/family-buries-five-girls/">The Herald</a>, the victims were Rachel Saidi (13), Makanaka Nemhara (9), Ashleigh Mabheka (13), Chipo Chikanda (13), and Misiyose Benjamin (14), while Ashleigh Mabheka (11) survived the incident.
The girls were walking along Mt. Darwin Road when they were struck from behind by a private vehicle driven by a soldier.
They had travelled just 400 meters from house number 252 Ray on Mt. Darwin Road, where they had gone to pick up Rachel.
Albert Mabheka, who lost his daughter, Ashleigh, and his second daughter, Ashel, is currently battling for her life at Bindura Hospital, said:
<blockquote>
From what I heard my two daughters, along with Chipo and Misiyose left the compound to visit their uncle’s daughter Rachel.
They wanted to shop for clothes in Bindura when they were run over by the vehicle. They were facing towards town with their backs to the vehicle when they were hit.
I cannot explain the pain that I am feeling and I don’t know how I will overcome this grief.
</blockquote>
Rachel’s father, Richard Saidi, explained that the girls did not see the car coming as they had their backs turned.
He said the girls often played together and visited one another frequently. On that tragic day, Rachel intended to buy supplies in Bindura town.
Saidi said the girls were walking on the right side of the road, facing the town, when the car approached from behind and veered off to the left.
The driver lost control and crossed onto the right side of the road, where the girls were walking.
As a widower, Saidi has been caring for Rachel since her mother passed away in 2004 when Rachel was just four years old.
He works as a truck driver, and Rachel looked after her siblings while he was away. Rachel and Makanaka Nemhara (9) lived in the same house along Mt. Darwin Road.
Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Christopher Magomo, along with ZANU PF and government officials, visited the families to extend their condolences.
Meanwhile, 51-year-old Washington Timburwa, a member of the Zimbabwe National Army’s Two Brigade in Cranborne, Harare, has been charged with culpable homicide after his car struck and killed the girls.
Police reported that the incident occurred on Saturday just after 4 PM at the 90-kilometre peg along the Harare-Mukumbura Road.

Five Young Girls From One Family Killed By Speeding Car In Bindura

Two brothers from Bindura were arraigned before the Bindura Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, on allegations of murder.
It is alleged that on July 6, 2024, Shadreck Mukono (24) and John Mukono (31) visited the home of the now-deceased in Glendale, to collect their estranged sister’s belongings.
The sister was the now deceased’s wife, and they were in the process of a divorce.
At the deceased’s home, a misunderstanding arose between the accused brothers and the deceased.
The deceased had told the brothers that he needed someone to witness the process of handing over his wife’s belongings.
This did not sit well with the accused, who allegedly assaulted the deceased all over his body using booted feet and wooden sticks.
A police report was filed, and the deceased was referred to Concession Hospital, where he received treatment and was later discharged.
However, his condition deteriorated on July 7, 2024, and he was transported to Bindura Provincial Hospital, where he passed away on July 8, 2024.
The accused brothers were remanded out of custody until their next court appearance on August 20, 2024.

Two brothers are accused of killing their sister's husband. The brothers went to collect their sister's things as she was getting a divorce. A fight broke out, and the brothers allegedly beat the man. He went to the hospital, but sadly he died a few days later. The brothers are now in trouble with the law and have to go to court in August. It is never okay to hurt someone, and actions have consequences.

Two Brothers Kill Brother-in-law

A 37-year-old man from Bindura, Mashonaland Central Province, Patrick Kingirasi, who was arrested on allegations of undermining the authority of or insulting President Emmerson Mnangagwa, has been granted ZWL$500 000 bail.
The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) said that Kingirasi, an unemployed resident of Bindura, was arrested last month and spent 24 days in pre-trial detention in Bindura Prison.
On Tuesday, 12 December, Bindura Magistrate Ndokera set Kingirasi free after granting him ZWL$500 000 bail.
Kingirasi, who was represented by human rights lawyer Pride Dzapasi, returns to court on 15 December. ZLHR said:
<blockquote>
Prosecutors alleged that Kingirasi who is represented by [Pride P Dzapasi] undermined and insulted President Mnangagwa on 2 October, when he called Edson Chibaya, a fellow Bindura resident, on his mobile phone and made some utterances to the effect that the ruling ZANU PF political party members were thieves and blamed the ruling party’s leader for causing massive suffering among citizens and for authoring the country’s economic crisis.
<div class="in_article">
<div>
Kingirasi is alleged to have shouted at Chibaya in the Shona language that “Musandiitire zvechimbavha zve ZANU PF nava Mnangagwa venyu varikutipa kutambura,” which prosecuting authorities translated to mean “Do not be thievery in ZANU PF way with your Mnangagwa, who is causing us to suffer.”
Prosecutors said Kingirasi’s alleged utterances were unlawful, intentional, abusive, indecent and abusive.
The Bindura resident is the latest among dozens of Zimbabweans, who have been arrested, detained and prosecuted on charges of undermining the authority of or insulting President Mnangagwa.
During the reign of Robert Mugabe, the country’s late leader, more than 200 people were prosecuted and persecuted on the same nefarious charges of undermining the authority of or insulting the President, charges which continue to be preferred against citizens in the post-Mugabe era.

Unemployed Bindura Resident Arrested For "Insulting" President Mnangagwa

The Zimbabwe Meteorological Services Department (MSD), in collaboration with the Civil Protection Department, has released the evening weather report and forecast for Zimbabwe, valid from Tuesday, November 28, 2023, until Thursday, November 30, 2023.
The morning of this Tuesday was characterised by mostly sunny and mild conditions. However, as the day progressed, it became partly cloudy to cloudy in most parts of the country. Some light thundershowers were experienced in specific provinces, including Matabeleland North, Mashonaland West, and Manicaland.
Moving on to the forecast for Wednesday, November 29, 2023, it is expected to begin with partly cloudy and mild conditions in the morning across most parts of the country. However, as the day progresses, cloud developments are anticipated, leading to scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. These thunderstorms are a result of cloud systems approaching from the northwest.
During this period, the risk of lightning strikes is significantly increased, posing a potential danger to all areas. It is important to note that lightning can strike even when clouds appear distant, a scientific phenomenon known as lightning from the blue. The atmosphere is also conducive to localized hailstorms and strong winds.
To ensure personal safety, there are several actions that individuals should take. If caught outdoors during a thunderstorm, it is advised to avoid seeking shelter under isolated trees or in isolated sheds, as these can act as natural lightning conductors. Instead, it is recommended to seek shelter inside a home or a large building. Even if lightning is observed in the distance, it may not be safe to remain outdoors. The 30-30 Rule serves as a rough guideline to assess safety: if lightning is seen and there are less than 30 seconds between the flash and the sound of thunder, it indicates that the individual is not safe from the next lightning strike. Furthermore, where possible, installing lightning conductors on buildings can provide additional protection.
The forecast also includes specific weather outlooks for various regions. For the main city centres such as Bulawayo, Kwekwe, Kadoma, Masvingo, Marondera, and Gwanda, the weather forecast remains consistent with the general pattern of partly cloudy and mild conditions in the morning, followed by scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. Similarly, in popular holiday resorts like Victoria Falls, Kariba, Great Zimbabwe, Nyanga, Matopos, Chimanimani, Chinhoyi Caves, Binga Hot Springs, and Hwange National Park, visitors should expect the same weather conditions.
Looking ahead to Thursday, November 30, 2023, the weather outlook suggests that northern parts of the country, including northern Manicaland, all Mashonaland, Harare or Metropolitan, Matabeleland North, and northern parts of Midlands provinces, may experience scattered afternoon thunderstorms. In some places, these thunderstorms may result in isolated heavy rainfall exceeding 30mm. On the other hand, the southern parts of the country, including Bulawayo Metropolitan, Matabeleland South, Masvingo, southern parts of Midlands, and southern parts of Manicaland, are expected to encounter cloudy, cool, and drizzly conditions in the morning. Throughout the day, the cloud cover is expected to decrease, leading to warmer temperatures in the afternoon.

Zimbabwe Weather Report And Forecast Valid From 28-30 November, 2023

Zimbabwe’s Meteorological Services Department and Civil Protection Department state that on Saturday, the entire country experienced mostly sunny conditions. The weather was mild in the morning but became hot in the afternoon.
The forecast for tomorrow, Sunday 19 November 2023, predicts that Matabeleland South, Masvingo, and the southern parts of Manicaland provinces may have brief cloudiness in the morning with mild conditions. However, the skies are expected to clear up in the afternoon, and warm to hot temperatures can be anticipated. As for the rest of the country, it should be mostly sunny and hot throughout the afternoon.
When it’s very hot during the day, it’s important to stay hydrated and cool. If you don’t drink enough water and get too hot, you can become dehydrated and may experience heat-related illnesses like heat stroke, heat exhaustion, or heat rash. Hot weather conditions can also result in soil drying out quickly and plants requiring more water to survive.
Recommendations:
1. Sun Protection: If you are working outdoors in the sun, it is essential to protect yourself from excessive heat and harmful UV rays. Wear a sun hat, use sunscreen, and cover your skin as much as possible to avoid sunburn and heat-related illnesses.
2. Hydration: Stay well-hydrated, especially during hot and sunny weather. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent dehydration and ensure optimal plant growth.
3. Water Harvesting: Take advantage of any opportunity for water harvesting. Collect rainwater or explore other means of water collection to ensure you have sufficient water for your crops and plants during periods of low rainfall or drought.
4. Stay Indoors during Thunderstorms: When thunderstorms occur, it is best to seek shelter indoors. Lightning can pose a significant risk to both farmers and crops. Avoid working in the fields during thunderstorms to ensure your safety.
5. Early Planting and Irrigation: If you have access to irrigation methods, consider early planting. However, it is crucial to consult with your local Agritex Officer for specific advice on the best planting practices and irrigation techniques suitable for your area.
Weather Outlook:
On Monday, a weak cloud band is expected to bring cloudy conditions and the possibility of light showers, potentially thundery, in some areas. Matabeleland North, All Mashonaland provinces, and the Midlands provinces should prepare for mild to warm temperatures. In contrast, Matabeleland South, Masvingo, and Manicaland provinces can expect mostly sunny weather with warm to hot temperatures.

Zimbabwe Weather Outlook And Tips For Farmers

The Zimbabwe Meteorological Services Department (MSD), in collaboration with the Civil Protection Department, has released the evening weather report and forecast for Zimbabwe noting that the weekend will be warmer.
According to the report, there were late evening clearances of clouds over the southern parts of the country, which did not lead to a significant decline in minimum temperatures. The only areas that remained mostly cloudy were the northern parts of Matabeleland South, Bulawayo Metropolitan, central parts of the Midlands, Harare Metropolitan, Manicaland, Mashonaland East and Central. These areas experienced light showers over the Eastern Highlands. However, the clouds scattered by the afternoon, leading to warm conditions over most of the country as the moisture rapidly dissipated. There is also a slow-moving band of clouds at the western border with Botswana.
The forecast for Saturday, November 4, 2023, indicates that there will be cloudy and drizzly conditions in the early morning over the Eastern Highlands due to remnant moisture. However, it is expected to become less cloudy by mid-morning. Brief cloudy periods are anticipated in the north-western parts of Matabeleland South and Matabeleland North, with a possibility of a few showers and rumbles of thunder. All other areas, including Masvingo, Midlands, Bulawayo and Harare Metropolitan, and Mashonaland Provinces, should experience mostly sunny and hot weather.
The impacts of this weather include erratic rainfall, increased dehydration and evaporation due to sunny and hot conditions, and the possibility of thunder and lightning. Therefore, it is advised to wear a sun hat and stay hydrated when working outdoors in the sun. Water harvesting is also recommended when possible, and early planting is only recommended for those with irrigation capabilities. It is important to monitor the temperature within fowl runs to reduce bird mortality.
The weather outlook for Sunday, November 5, 2023, indicates a brief cloudy period over the north-western parts of Matabeleland South and Bulawayo Metropolitan, with isolated thundershowers. All other parts of the country are expected to have mostly sunny and hot conditions, with mild temperatures in the morning and evening.

Zimbabwe's MSD Predicts Warmer Weekend

The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) and the Civil Protection Department in Zimbabwe have reported isolated thundershowers, mainly along the main watershed area, on Tuesday afternoon. In their weather forecast for Thursday, they anticipate brief periods of cloudy weather in the eastern Highlands, accompanied by a light easterly breeze in some parts of the country.
On Tuesday, there were isolated thundershowers due to leftover moisture, and it was cloudy and windy in the eastern parts of Masvingo and Manicaland Province, caused by a south-easterly airflow. However, both sources of moisture were diminishing by the evening.
For Thursday, the forecast indicates that the eastern Highlands will experience brief cloudy periods with a light easterly breeze. Regions like Matabeleland North, Harare Metropolitan, northern parts of the Midlands, and all Mashonaland provinces may also have a light easterly breeze. Other areas such as Bulawayo Metropolitan, Matabeleland South, southern parts of Midlands, and Masvingo Provinces are expected to be less windy. The weather will be mild in the morning and become hot in the afternoon, with partly cloudy conditions prevailing over much of the country.
These weather conditions can have various impacts. Hot weather can lead to dehydration, particularly affecting the health of the elderly, young children, and those who are already ill. Sunny and hot conditions also increase evaporation rates. Isolated showers and occasional downpours are unreliable for rain-fed agriculture.
To mitigate these impacts, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking sufficient water. Seeking advice from local health practitioners is recommended, especially if spending extended periods outdoors during the day. Ongoing land preparation is advised, and early planting is only recommended for those with access to irrigation. Monitoring the temperature in fowl-runs and adjusting heat can help reduce bird mortality. Additionally, it is important to learn water harvesting methods before the next wet spell and seek shelter indoors when thunder is heard.
The weather outlook for Friday indicates mostly sunny and hot conditions across the entire country, with a predominant north-easterly airflow.

Zimbabwe Weather Report And Forecast 25-27 October 2023

The Meteorological Services Department, together with the Department of Civil Protection, predicts cloudy weather across most of Zimbabwe this week.
In a weather report and forecast issued on Monday 23 October 2023, the MSD said thundershowers were widespread, especially in the eastern and central regions, with the highest recorded precipitation in Masvingo, Zvishavane, and Mhondoro. Bulawayo also experienced rainfall. Certain areas, including Matabeleland South, Bulawayo Metropolitan, Masvingo, and Manicaland provinces, saw cloudy, windy, and cold conditions due to rising pressure in the south.
Tomorrow, cloudy conditions with periodic thundershowers are expected in Mashonaland provinces, Harare metropolitan, and Manicaland, while the rest of the country should be partly cloudy and cool in the morning, becoming warmer later in the day. Thunderstorms may bring wind gusts and lightning, making roads slippery and reducing visibility. It is important to drive carefully and find safe shelter during thunderstorms and avoid crossing flooded rivers. Additionally, as the rainy season begins, it is advisable to protect oneself from mosquitoes, which multiply during this time.
On Wednesday, cloudiness is expected to decrease across the country, resulting in mostly sunny conditions. However, isolated thunderstorms may occur in Matabeleland North, northern parts of Midlands, Mashonaland provinces, Harare metropolitan, and Manicaland provinces.

MSD Predicts Cloudy Weather Across Most Of Zimbabwe To Continue

A warrant of arrest for <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Joana_Mamombe/">Joana Mamombe</a>, a Harare West Member of Parliament (MP) from the opposition CCC party was cancelled on Thursday after she finally appeared in court. The warrant was issued when Mamombe failed to attend a previous court hearing.
Mamombe, along with <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Cecilia_Chimbiri/">Cecilia Chimbiri</a> and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Netsai_Marova/">Netsai Marova</a> who is on the run, is facing charges for allegedly faking her abduction. 
<h3>The Case</h3>
In May 2020, the trio together with some MDC Alliance youths staged a demonstration against the recall of their party’s MPs from Parliament and the government’s handling of funds for the COVID-19 pandemic. They claimed to have been arrested at a roadblock near Exhibition Park in Harare while demonstrating and taken to Harare Central Police Station. 
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) initially confirmed the arrest but later disowned the statement. The trio’s lawyer, Mr Jeremiah Bamu, went to the police CID Law and Order section, informing them that the three had been arrested and taken to Harare Central police station. The State claimed that checks were made, and it was discovered that they had not been arrested at all.
Two days later, on May 15, 2020, at around 1 a.m., Mr Bamu informed the police that the three individuals were located at Muchapondwa Business Centre in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Bindura/">Bindura</a>, several kilometres away from Harare. The police, accompanied by Mr Bamu, went to the business centre, collected the trio, and took them to a private hospital in Waterfalls, Harare, as they claimed to have been tortured.
The state launched an investigation, it was established that a Mercedes Benz believed to be owned by Joanna Mamombe, which she was driving when she was allegedly arrested, was found parked at Harare Central Police Station. The vehicle, registered in the name of <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2020/06/07/mamombes-zanu-pf-supporting-fiance-speaks-on-abduction/">Andrew Manongore, a pro-ZANU PF Chisipite man</a>, had been left at the police station. Mamombe’s alleged husband Mfundo Mlilo confirmed that the vehicle belonged to Mamombe and had been parked there since the day of the alleged abduction. According to him, the keys were lost during the abduction and torture.
The state’s investigation concluded that the three individuals had not been abducted but had staged the entire incident. They were accused of lying about their abduction to tarnish the government’s reputation. The State claims that CCTV footage showed them in Belgravia Shopping Centre during the time they claimed to have been abducted. 
<h3>The Acquittal and Appeal</h3>
In court, Joanna Mamombe and Cecilia Chimbiri’s lawyer accused the state of punishing his clients due to the case’s publicity on social media. The women were acquitted after appealing against the lower court’s ruling that they had a case to answer and should proceed to a defence hearing. The High Court judge criticised the state’s case, stating that it was marred with malice and falsehoods. The judge further highlighted that it was unconstitutional and against the principles of the court to push the applicants into a defence case to supplement the inadequacies of the state’s case and hope that they would incriminate themselves. The judge ordered the discharge of the women.
Following the acquittal, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) appealed the decision of the High Court. The trial is still ongoing, with the defence maintaining that Mamombe and Chimbiri never made any claim of being stopped or kidnapped by the police.

Warrant Of Arrest Against CCC MP Joana Mamombe Cancelled

The Mayor of <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Bindura/">Bindura</a> Town Council, Jacob Gwature (39 years old) who is a member of the opposition <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Citizens%27_Coalition_for_Change/">Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)</a>, and his associate Jonathan Kapasi (49 years old) have been arrested on fraud charges involving US$6,970.
According to Assistant Commissioner <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Paul_Nyathi/">Paul Nyathi</a>, the national police spokesperson, the suspects, operating under the company name Pamhodzi Rainbow Network in Zimbabwe, received £5,000 (equivalent to US$6,970) from Kitchen Table Charities Trust in the United Kingdom. The funds were intended for drilling a borehole and installing a solar system at stand number 1305 Budiriro 1, Harare.
However, they failed to fulfil their obligations as per the agreement and did not proceed with the borehole drilling or solar system installation. Misheck Mlambo, representing Kitchen Table Charities Trust, deposited the funds into the suspects’ local bank account.
Following a complaint, the police arrested the suspects, who have since appeared in court. They have been remanded in custody until September 26, 2023, pending a bail application.
The opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) says the charges are fictitious. The party’s spokesperson, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Promise_Mkwananzi/">Promise Mkwananzi</a> who himself is on the run said:
<blockquote>
Bindura Mayor Cllr Jacob Gwature appeared at the Harare Magistrates Court this morning &amp; has been remanded in custody to Tuesday 26th of September 2023. Cllr. Gwature, like many of our leaders &amp; officials faces fictitious charges dating as far back as 2021. On Tuesday, the 26th of September 2023, we urge our supporters to fill up the Court in solidarity with the Mayor as well as to demonstrate our dismay &amp; opposition against the abuse of state institutions to undermine the will &amp; choices of the people of Zimbabwe. To restore &amp; retain the people’s trust &amp; confidence , our Courts must refuse to be reduced to ZANU PF’s instruments of persecution. The courts ought &amp; must be seen to be carrying our justice without fear or favour. His Legal Advisor Enerst Jena is of the opinion that this is not a criminal matter &amp; must be before a civil not a criminal Court, and rightly so. We are however are that this has been brought before the criminal Court to persecute &amp; try to tarnish Cllr Gwature’s reputation.
</blockquote>
The party expressed concern over the ongoing harassment of its members by the Harare regime, following an election they deemed shambolic and rigged. The CCC said the arrest was unjust. Some, however, questioned why the party fielded candidates with criminal pasts, as their actions may affect their future roles. They said law enforcement has a constitutional duty to address crime and cannot remain inactive.

CCC's Bindura Mayor Has Been Arrested On Fraud Charges

A Bindura-based company specializing in the trade of gold experienced a substantial loss exceeding US$100,000 when a group of eight unidentified male suspects, armed with a total of seven pistols, carried out an attack on the company premises last Friday.
Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, the National Spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), confirmed the incident, which occurred in Chiwaridzo Two. He expressed suspicions that the robbery may have involved insiders. Nyathi said:
<blockquote>
We are investigating a case of armed robbery in which a mining company in Bindura lost US$104 000 after 8 armed robbers pounced on the premises and vanished with cash. We are told that the armed robbers attacked the security guard and the staff before taking cash and the firearm.
We suspect an inside job because the robbers went straight to the safe and in this we implore employers to screen their employees. As the Police, we want to warn armed robbers that as Police we are not going back,
</blockquote>
This recent incident of armed robbery occurs amid ongoing efforts by law enforcement to apprehend a group of seven suspected armed robbers. These individuals have been implicated in a series of robberies across the country and are believed to be evading capture by seeking refuge in neighbouring nations.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police has previously emphasized the importance for businesses to refrain from storing large sums of money on their premises. Zimbabwe has experienced economic challenges in the past, including hyperinflation and a period of currency instability. These events may have eroded trust in the banking system for some individuals, leading them to prefer to keep their money physically at home.

Armed Robbers Get Away With US$100 000 Cash

The <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Republic</a> Police (ZRP) has issued a statement regarding the banned <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Citizens Coalition for Change</a> (CCC) rally, which was scheduled to take place on 9 July 2023 at Chipadze Stadium Bindura. According to <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">police national spokesperson</a>, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, the police are not to blame for the rally not taking place. In a statement seen by Pindula News, Nyathi said while the rally convenor initially notified the local police regulating authority, she did not provide clarity on whether the local council had given CCC permission to use Chipadze Stadium. The <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">regulating authority</a> had no option but not to sanction the rally due to insecurity at the other proposed venue and a lack of <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">logistics arrangements</a>. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
<h3>THE ZRP STATEMENT ON ALLEGED CITIZEN COALITION FOR CHANGE RALLY IN BINDURA </h3>
The Zimbabwe Republic Police sets the record straight on the alleged Citizen Coalition for Change (CCC) rally in Bindura which some politicians and media organizations claim has been banned by the local Police.
The correct information is that the Citizen Coalition for Change convenor, Susan Mawire, initially notified the local Police Regulating Authority on the rally scheduled for 9th July 2023 at Chipadze stadium. The regulating authority,.who is the Officer Commanding Police Bindura District, sought clarity on the venue status from the convenor. She did not give clarity on whether the local council had given them the go ahead to use Chipadze Stadium or not.
The convenor later said that the local Bindura Municipality had turned down their request to use Chipadze Stadium on the pretext that the stadium was undergoing renovations. Coincidentally, the local authority’s mayor and deputy mayor, who are both Citizen Coalition for Change members, offered the convenor their personal private stands in Bindura to hold the rally.
The stands are in a private area which has other beneficiaries who needed to be consulted before the rally is sanctioned. The two stands in Brookdale area which are roughly measuring 3 800 and 3 900 square metres respectively cannot accommodate many people and have no access roads or ablution facilities as the area is yet to be fully developed.
The Officer Commanding Bindura District had no option, but not to sanction the rally based on the insecurity at the venue and lack of proper and clear logistics arrangement by the convenor and her party.
The convenor’s party tried to change venue and utilize a private open space in Mazowe area. The owner of the space did not give them the authority to utilize the open space. The convener then advised the local police on this development. Above all, the police had engaged the Citizen Coalition for Change convenor despite the fact that they had given the police insufficient notice to prepare for security arrangements in terms of the provisions of the Maintenance of Peace and Order Act (MOPA) Chapter 11:23.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police urges political parties and their representatives to be organized and avoid discrediting the police for their own internal failings to follow clear conditions stipulated under MOPA.
Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Republic Police reminds political parties that venues are not given or acquired through the police, but by engaging the institutions and individuals who own such facilities.
</blockquote>
<a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">On Saturday, CCC national spokesperson, Fadxzayi Mahere declared</a> that the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/07/08/ccc-ban-on-national-campaign-launch-unlawful/">“ban” on their national campaign mega-launch rally in Bindura is unlawful.</a> She said the party has approached the courts to challenge the ban, but the matter is still pending before the High Court. The CCC claims that <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">ZANU PF</a> has used political violence, <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">unlawful arrests</a>, and intimidation to disrupt or ban over 92 of their meetings or rallies since their formation in January 2022. In a statement seen by Pindula News, Mahere said despite the continued efforts to silence them, the CCC remains committed to mobilising voters for a big win on election day and building a new Zimbabwe that works for everyone. The party asserts that a big win for the CCC is a big win for everyone, and they remain the only credible alternative capable of achieving this vision.

Zimbabwe Police Speak On "Banned" CCC Bindura Rally

The opposition CCC party has approached the High Court to challenge the decision by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to ban their 2023 elections campaign launch that was scheduled for 09 July in Bindura.
CCC spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said they had initially approached the Magistrates Court to challenge the move by the Police, but after the lower court set the matter down for 11 July, the opposition party then approached the High Court. Said Mahere:
<blockquote>
The Police unconstitutionally “banned” our Campaign Launch set for Sunday. Our lawyers immediately challenged the illegality.
The Magistrates’ Court erroneously set the matter down for 11 July (2 days after the rally) in violation of the Act. We’ve lodged an urgent review to the High Court.
</blockquote>
In banning the CCC rally, Police said the venue selected by the opposition party has no access roads and water, exposing supporters to communicable diseases.
ZRP also said they were not given sufficient notice “as provided for in terms of the MOPA Act”, and advised CCC to find another venue and date for the event.
On Wednesday, police disrupted CCC’s Presidential Campaign Rally in Chiredzi, saying the party failed to comply with security requirements prescribed under section 8 of the Maintenance of Peace and Order Act (Chapter 11:23).
Another CCC rally that was scheduled for Chivi Growth Point this Friday was also blocked by the Police who said the venue had already been booked by ZANU PF.

CCC Approaches High Court To Challenge Campaign Launch Ban

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has blocked CCC from launching its 2023 elections campaign in Bindura on Sunday saying the venue selected by the opposition party has no access roads and water, exposing supporters to communicable diseases.
ZRP also said they were not given sufficient notice “as provided for in terms of the MOPA Act”, and advised CCC to find another venue and date for the event.
A letter addressed to CCC by the Officer Commanding Bindura Police District, dated 07 July 2023, reads in part:
<blockquote>
This office acknowledges receipt of your notification of a public gathering [Campaign Rally] dated 6th July 2023 to be held at stand number 3889 and 3890 Brockdale, Bindura, on the 9th of July 2023 from 0900 hours to 1700hours which you submitted in terms of section 7 of the Maintenance of Peace and Order Act [Chapter 11:23].
This office has reservations in respect of the suitability of the venue taking into account all relevant security factors necessary.
The venue falls within an undeveloped piece of land, which is bushy without serviceable roads, water and sewer facilities.
It provides a high-risk security threat to the participants. There is also a high risk of threat to the spread of any communicable diseases.
In the event of any public disorder, the police and other emergency services would have challenges accessing the venue due to the unavailability of an official road network.
As a result, our mandate to protect life and property and to maintain law and order will be compromised.
Lastly, your notification did not give sufficient notice to the regulatory authority as provided in terms of the MOPA Act.
May you consider securing another suitable venue and provide sufficient notification as required by the provisions of the MOPA Act.

Police Block CCC's 2023 Elections Campaign Launch In Bindura

The Zimbabwe Meteorological Services Department (MSD) in collaboration with the Department of Civil Protection has issued the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Evening Weather Report</a> and Forecast, which is valid from Monday 03 July to Wednesday 05 July 2023.
The MSD reported that on Monday, it was cloudy, windy, and cold in the eastern parts of the country, such as <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Mashonaland East</a>, Manicaland, Harare Metropolitan, western parts of Mashonaland Central, and Masvingo, with drizzle in some areas. This was due to moist <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">easterly winds</a> that are now decreasing. Meanwhile, all other areas had mostly clear skies and cold mornings, but it became milder in the afternoon. Some places, including Gweru, Henderson, Lupane, and Nkayi, had <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">slight ground frost</a> in the morning.
On Tuesday 04 July 2023, very cold morning conditions are expected over the Highveld, with slight ground frost in areas such as Chivhu, Henderson, and Marondera. It should be partly cloudy over Manicaland, Mashonaland East, and <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Harare Metropolitan Province</a>, cool by day, and becoming cold toward evening. Mostly sunny and mild afternoon conditions are expected in other areas, although they will be very cold overnight.
The report warns that very cold morning and evening conditions may affect the health of vulnerable members of society and trigger respiratory-related illnesses in all persons. Poultry, especially day-old chicks, are sensitive to overnight temperature declines. The period immediately following the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Winter Solstice</a> is usually the coldest, and differences between night and daytime temperatures can affect the body’s perception of the cold.
The report advises people to keep warm, ensure vulnerable members have dressed appropriately, monitor temperature within fowl runs, and adjust accordingly to reduce the impacts of cold conditions on the bird population. There is also a need for <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">frost mitigation measures</a> for crops vulnerable to extreme cold, and the local Agritex Officers can provide better advice on this matter.
The <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">weather outlook</a> for Wednesday 05 July 2023 indicates very cold conditions at first, especially along the Highveld, with ground frost in some areas. It is expected to be mostly sunny and warm by day over the entire country, becoming windy towards evening, particularly in provinces such as Masvingo, Manicaland, and Mashonaland East.

The report highlights that much of the country experienced cold conditions with sunny weather during the day yesterday, but a cool and dry south-easterly airflow began to establish in the evening.
The forecast for 17 June 2023 predicts very cold morning conditions with a <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">moderate ground frost</a> in frost-prone areas such as Matopos, Gweru, Henderson, Nkayi, and Lupane.
Vulnerable members of society may be affected by the cold, and dry conditions increase the risk of veld fires. Poultry, especially day-old chicks, are sensitive to overnight temperature declines.
The report recommends taking <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">frost mitigation measures</a> for crops vulnerable to extreme cold, monitoring temperature within fowl runs, and adjusting accordingly to reduce the impacts of cold conditions on birds. Fire guards should be constructed, at least 9 meters wide, and free of any vegetative or combustible materials.
Based on the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">weather conditions</a> highlighted in the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Evening Weather Report</a> and Forecast, it is recommended that cattle rearers take precautions to protect their livestock from the cold conditions.

Zimbabwe Weather Report And Forecast Valid Until 18 June 2023

The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) of Zimbabwe, in partnership with the Department of Civil Protection, has issued the Zimbabwe Evening Weather Report and Forecast for Sunday 04 June 2023 until Tuesday 06 June 2023. The weather was mostly sunny throughout the country with light winds. The lowest recorded ground minimum temperature was <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">4 degrees Celsius</a> at Nyanga, and there was no ground frost recorded at all stations countrywide. Daytime temperatures were warm.
For Monday 05 June 2023, clear skies with light winds are expected during the day, which may increase in strength towards evening. Daytime temperatures should remain warm, and the nights are expected to be cool. There is no ground frost anticipated. However, windy and cool conditions may affect the health of <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">vulnerable individuals</a> and trigger respiratory-related illnesses in all persons. Poultry, especially day-old chicks, are sensitive to overnight declines in temperature. The differences between night and daytime temperatures can affect the body’s perception of cold.
For cattle breeders, it is important to ensure that their livestock are well-cared for during the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">weather conditions</a> outlined in the forecast. As the day is expected to be warm, it is important to provide shade and access to water to prevent dehydration. The cool nights may require additional measures to keep the cattle warm, such as providing adequate shelter or blankets. The <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">windy conditions</a> should also be taken into consideration, as they may cause stress to the animals. It is important to monitor the health of <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">vulnerable individuals</a>, such as young or sick animals, as they may be more susceptible to respiratory illnesses in these conditions.
To take appropriate action, ensure that vulnerable individuals are dressed appropriately, especially in the early hours of the morning. Keep warm, especially in the southern parts of the country. Wear a sunhat or carry an umbrella if there is a need to be outdoors in the northern parts of the country. Monitor the temperature within <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">fowl runs</a> and adjust accordingly to reduce the impact of cold conditions on the bird population.
For Tuesday 06 June 2023, cool, moist, and fresh southeasterly winds are expected to enter the country from the eastern borders, resulting in cloudy conditions in some provinces. <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Matabeleland South</a>, Masvingo, and southern parts of both Midlands and Manicaland should experience cloudiness, which is expected to reduce as the day progresses. The remaining areas should remain mostly sunny with moderate winds.

To mitigate the impacts of the weather conditions, the MSD recommends that vulnerable members of society dress appropriately, especially in the early hours of the morning. People in the southern parts of the country should keep warm, while those in the northern parts should wear a sunhat or carry an umbrella if there is a need to be outdoors. Poultry farmers are advised to monitor the temperature within fowl runs and adjust accordingly to reduce the impacts of cold conditions on the bird population.
Cattle breeders should ensure that their animals have access to shaded areas and plenty of water to prevent heat stress during sunny daytime conditions. They should also consider providing additional feed to compensate for any reduction in grazing due to the heat. As cooler and windy conditions are expected at night, breeders should prepare shelter for their animals and ensure that they are protected from the wind. Breeders should also monitor their cattle for signs of respiratory distress, particularly if they are vulnerable or have a history of respiratory-related illnesses.
The weather outlook for Monday, 05 June 2023, indicates clear skies countrywide, with low evening to morning temperatures. Ground frost should not be ruled out in the Highveld areas. Members of the public are advised to stay updated on the weather conditions and take necessary actions to protect themselves and their property.
