The newly commissioned Muchesu Coal Mining Company in Binga District, Matabeleland North Province, plans to construct a new railway line linking its plant with Kwekwe, as part of a broader investment drive to enhance economic activity and trade in the country.
According to The Herald, the plant will produce 10,000 tonnes of coke per month, and with such volumes, an investment in rail infrastructure is critical for facilitating transport and logistics efficiency. The company is owned by a UK-headquartered investor, Contango Holdings, which has so far invested US$20 million in the project.
President Mnangagwa officially commissioned the new mining venture on Monday. In his address, President Mnangagwa said:
<blockquote>
They (Muchesu Mine) have promised to build a railway line from here in Binga to Kwekwe. They have also told me they will generate electricity that is enough to feed the country.
They have also promised to build quality roads, I say congratulations. Please do not die before you fulfil these promises.
</blockquote>
He said the government will support the project, which is in line with its economic transformation agenda and the country’s vision to achieve an upper-middle-income status by 2030.
Vice President Constantino Chiwenga who also attended the event stated that the commissioning of the Muchesu mine is a significant milestone for Binga, which will transform its economic fortunes. He added that the investment is a culmination of the re-engagement efforts spearheaded by President Mnangagwa, and the mine is a huge leap towards attaining a US$12 billion mining economy by year-end.
Similarly, Mines and Mining Development Minister Winston Chitando said the coming onstream of Muchesu is a reflection of the success of the mantra, “Zimbabwe is open for business” and President Mnangagwa’s philosophy of “leaving no one and no place behind.”

Zimbabwe Police Confirm Fatal Accident In Binga

The opposition secessionist Mthwakazi Republic Party (MRP) party has accused Chief Sinamagonde of Binga South of attempting to prevent people from attending their rally in Chibila Village, Ward 22.
MRP said the police cleared the rally for 18 May 2023 but Chief Sinamagonde instructed his headmen to arrange meetings in their separate villages.
The opposition party said the traditional leader did this to prevent villagers from attending their political rally.
MRP’s council candidate Coaster Mathe told <a href="https://cite.org.zw/mrp-accuse-binga-chief-of-blocking-rally/">CITE</a> that before the rally, Chief Sinamaginde started telling villagers not to attend their rally “because they must support ZANU PF.” Said Mathe:
<blockquote>
Nothing can stop Mthwakazi from going ahead but it was challenging to have the rally, which was supposed to start at 9 am and end at 4 PM.
Despite the chief’s efforts, we carried on with our rally with the people who were there.
</blockquote>
Chairperson of the MRP Youth League, Mudenda Chilumbo, also claimed that Chief Sinamaonde tried to disrupt their rally. Said Mudenda:
<blockquote>
There were eight meetings in one area so that people would be occupied but because the meetings had no agenda, some started protesting and others realised those meetings were a ploy to prevent them from coming to us.
Some people then left the meetings while some headmen who sympathise with us told the villagers they were acting under the chief’s orders to keep them.
</blockquote>
However, when contacted for a comment, Chief Sinamagonde told CITE that MRP was trying to hurt his reputation. He said:
<blockquote>
You must ask MRP if they came to me as chief of the area. Even after receiving police approval, they should have gone to me as the chief and informed me they will be meeting with people in the area.
I heard they were accusing me of withholding people from attending their rally.
I cannot deny anyone permission to attend rallies. As a chief, I lead everyone regardless of who they are.
How can I block people if people are the ones who don’t want to go, must I force them to attend rallies?
</blockquote>
Chief Sinamagonde said he doesn’t know why MRP insulted him, adding he holds his own meetings to revive village structures as he is a new chief.
In December 2022, MRP accused Chief Mzimuni Masuku of Gwanda of abusing his authority after he allegedly cancelled their rally that had been cleared by the Police.

Mthwakazi Republic Party Accuses Binga Chief Of Blocking Rally

A minor earthquake hit the Lubimbi area in Binga on Sunday night and was felt by residents in Hwange.
The earthquake had a magnitude of 4.0 and no damages to property were recorded, reported <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/earth-tremor-hits-hwange/">the Chronicle</a>.
Matabeleland North Province chief meteorological officer Austin Masikinye said the epicentre of the earthquake was Lubimbi in Binga District, close to Kamativi. He said:
<blockquote>
An earthquake was felt in Hwange and Binga on March 5, 2023, at 2309hrs local time. The epicentre is in Binga, Lubimbi area near Kamativi.
No reports of damage were received, however, more inquiries would be made to determine its intensity in the locality and to determine the exact areas it was felt.
</blockquote>
Residents in almost all Hwange town suburbs said they were shaken by underground movements on Sunday night.
Nolwandle Moyo from Ngumija and Prisca Mpofu, a resident of Cinderella township, about 10km from Ngumija, both said they felt the unusual movement from underground just after 10 PM.
Hwange Local Board spokesperson Dumisani Nsingo, who stays in Empumalanga, said:
<blockquote>
I suddenly remembered the unfortunate events in Turkey and became very scared but thank God the intensity was minimal.
</blockquote>
A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck South-Eastern Turkey and Northern Syria last month, killing 50 000 people, among them Ghanaian footballer Christian Atsu.
MSD head of forecasting, James Ngoma said earth tremors are common in the Kariba area. He said:
<blockquote>
Kariba is in a seismic tremor area, so now and again earthquakes are recorded. Those below 2.5 on the Richter scale may not be felt by humans but our machines regularly pick on those.
Earthquakes of between 2.5 and 4.5 on the scale are usually felt but we consider them to be minor and cannot cause damage. Anything above that is of concern.

Police in Binga have launched a manhunt for two suspects who allegedly fatally struck a 36-year-old man with logs and a spear accusing him of having love affairs with their wives.
The murder occurred in Lusulu, Binga on Wednesday last week.
Police have identified the accused as Polite Ndlovu (24) and Justice Ndlovu (22).
Acting Matabeleland North provincial police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Christopher Mahohoma said that the now-deceased, Stephen Mpofu (36), was attacked by the two while he was asleep in his bedroom hut with his wife.
He said the two were shouting outside threatening to kill Mpofu for allegedly having love affairs with their wives before they broke the door to the bedroom hut.
Mpofu tried to run away but one of the two suspects grabbed him. Said Asst Insp Mahohoma:
<blockquote>
The suspects started assaulting him with logs and a spear. Mpofu’s wife phoned the village head who rushed to the scene and found the two still assaulting Mpofu who was lying in a pool of blood.
The village head tried to restrain the two from further assaulting him but they threatened him before they fled.
It was only after they left that the village head and Mpofu’s wife managed to get close to him and immediately took him to a nearby clinic but he died before they got to the clinic.
</blockquote>
Police attended the scene and recovered mopane tree logs and a spear used by the two suspects.
Mpofu had two deep cuts on the head, a cut on the left cheek, a swollen face and injuries on the head. | <a href="https://www.sundaynews.co.zw/binga-man-murdered-skinned-and-homestead-burnt/">The Sunday</a> News

ZANU PF Wins Binga Ward 20 By-election

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has announced the suspension of by-elections for wards 6, 8, 10, 15, and 23 of Binga Rural District Council scheduled for Saturday 03 December 2022.
In a statement on Friday, 02 December, ZEC chief elections officer Utloile Silaigwana said the High Court ordered the suspension of the by-elections after the nominations of five of the candidates were challenged in court. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission would like to inform members of the public that the High Court has ordered the suspension of by-elections for wards 6, 8, 10, 15, and 23 of Binga Rural District Council scheduled for Saturday 03 December 2022.
This follows urgent chamber applications by Collen Mudenda who challenged the nominations of John Simunene Sikabotu, Kingson Mpofu, Mathias Mudenda, Joseph Mwembe, and Wilson Siampolomba on the grounds that they were disqualified from contesting as candidates in terms of Section 119(2) (h) of the Electoral Act.
The Section states that a person shall be disqualified from being nominated as a candidate on the nomination day or the day of an election when he or she is in default with the payment of any levy, rate, charge, or tax due and payable to the council concerned for more than 120 days.
The High Court ordered that the Commission should not proceed with the by-elections for the five wards pending the hearing of the cases which was postponed to 4 January 2023.
However, despite this High Court order, by-elections for ward 20 of Binga Rural District Council, wards 4, 5, and 18 of Gweru Municipality, and ward 28 of Mberengwa Rural District Council will go ahead tomorrow 3 December 2022 as scheduled.

The by-elections will be held in Binga Ward 20 and in Gweru in wards 4, 5, and 18.

High Court Suspends Five Local Government By-elections In Binga

Baboons are giving people in Hwange and Binga Districts a torrid time as they break into homes through windows and rooftops while searching for food.
The baboons also attack women and children and snatch their satchels.
The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) is struggling to curb the baboon menace as traditional methods to stop them are proving ineffective.
Speaking during an interview with <a href="https://vicfallslive.co.zw/index.php/2022/10/16/baboons-wreak-havoc-in-drought-prone-binga-hwange/">VicFallsLive</a>, Zimparks Matabeleland North regional manager Samson Chibaya said they have embarked on an exercise to capture the baboons but it is proving to be difficult. He said:
<blockquote>
Baboons are a perennial nuisance in Hwange urban and other areas such as Binga and Victoria Falls.
They cause damage in hotels, lodges and homes and their behaviour includes the destruction of property and taking food from kitchens, off the buffets and tables.
Capture and translocation are no longer effective because the baboons no longer come to the baits.
Shooting is also ineffective as the baboons are so elusive and flee once they see armed people in uniform.
They are (also) territorial, once a troop is wiped out another different one quickly moves in within a week or two.
</blockquote>
Chibaya attributed the increasing cases of human-wildlife conflict in urban areas such as Hwange to poor refuse disposal and climate change. He said:
<blockquote>
Poor solid waste management is another factor as baboons are attracted to leftover food and edible waste.
Most raids in residential areas happen where houses are not manned, and sometimes in the presence of children and women.
Ecologically, most of the areas around towns have no food and fruits for baboons, hence (they) rely on waste from residential areas.
The problem worsens during the hot and dry season when food is less available.
</blockquote>
Hwange town is surrounded by areas with a high population of wild animals such as the Hwange Colliery Concession, private farms, state land and protected areas under Zimparks and this means that animals such as baboons stray into residential areas, Chibaya added.

Man Caught And Attacked By A Crocodile While Fleeing From An Elephant

The government has said it is aiming to complete the rehabilitation of the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Binga">Binga</a> Airstrip a development that is premised on attracting more local and foreign tourists to the remote wildlife and nature-rich part of Matabeleland North Province. 
The rehabilitation was started last year by the Government as part of efforts to improve accessibility so that tourism hotspots in remote areas. 
Binga is regarded as a prime destination sitting on potentially lucrative untapped tourism opportunities and it is believed that the rehabilitation of the Airstrip will work in making it “discoverable.”
It has such attractions as the hot springs, wildlife and some economic activities including fishing, boating, crocodile farming, and cultural activities, among others. 
The rehabilitation of the airstrip is done by the District Development Fund (DDF). 
The workers told Sunday News that on a good day, the airport would see three flights in and out of Binga, with one in the morning, afternoon and late afternoon. 
In an interview, Matabeleland North Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Richard Moyo said that construction work on the airstrip was ongoing. He said:
<blockquote>
DDF is rebuilding the airstrip and you might have seen we have men that are really busy sprucing it up and adding to the work that has already been done there. There is an area that is being built around the airstrip that will become a waiting area where tourists can sit around comfortably as they wait to go and see the Zambezi and other attractions that we have in this part of the country. It is only getting better and better and as a province, we are happy that Binga is attracting more tourists.
</blockquote>
DDF Matabeleland North Roads Manager Mr Jacob Ndlovu said that they hoped to be finished with the rehabilitation of the airstrip by the time the rainy season starts. 
Mr Rinzelani Majoko, the acting manager at Musumu River Lodge, the resort where visitors taken from the airstrip are delivered before going on a tour of the Zambezi River, said that the airstrip had eliminated the unpleasant aspects of long-distance travel. 
Majoko said that the airstrip was bringing in clients from Africa, Europe and North America, including those that had to postpone their visits to Binga at the onset of Covid-19.

Govt Aims To Complete Rehabilitation Of Binga Airstrip This Year

A local footballer was killed by his teammate following a misunderstanding over an undisclosed issue in Binga on Saturday.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Matabeleland North Province, Inspector Glory Banda, said the incident occurred in the Nalubuyu area under Chief Binga.
He said Planner Munenge (age not given) of Nalubuyu village and Simbarashe Sibanda (24) from the same area were playing social football in a tournament on Saturday.
The match ended late in the evening and their team officials resolved that all players would sleep over in camp and go home the following day.
That evening, the players decided to go for a beer drink at a nearby business centre where a misunderstanding arose between Munenge and Sibanda. Said Insp Banda:
<blockquote>
I can confirm that we received a case of murder where a man used a brick to fatally assault another.
On 10 September 2022, there was a soccer match at Donga Shopping Centre grounds and the match ended late.

Insp Banda said Sibanda and Munenge had a misunderstanding and the suspect attacked the now-deceased at around 11 PM. He said:
<blockquote>
The accused then allegedly struck the now deceased with a brick on the head. Onlookers tried to render first aid, to no avail as he died moments later.

Footballer Kills Teammate After Social Soccer Tournament

The government says it has started distributing digital set-top boxes to Binga villagers for them to start receiving digitalised broadcasting transmission.
On Friday, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa handed 100 set-top boxes to government departments, the local authority, and traditional and political leaders.
Mutsvangwa said the government will prioritise areas that were historically marginalised without television services. She said:
<blockquote>
I am happy to announce that the transmitter constructed at Nkalange here in Binga is now complete and is transmitting signal that will be picked up by the set-top boxes that we are going to distribute here today.
Already there are channels that can be scanned on these set-top boxes which include ZBC TV, ZBC News, Yadah TV, Jive TV and Christ TV.
</blockquote>
Chief Siansali and Siachilaba are some of those that received set-top boxes.
The government launched the digitalisation programme in 2015 in an effort to effect migration from analogue to digital terrestrial transmission (DTT).
To date, only 18 out of the targeted 48 digital transmitters are now complete.
DTT uses terrestrial towers to transmit the signal much like mobile network operator base stations and signals can be picked up by special antennas and set-top boxes.

Four People Including The Driver Killed In Horror Bus Crash

Binga traditional leaders say the demise of the once magnificent Binga hot springs was caused by human activities that offended ancestors.
The hot springs located about 6km from Binga centre on the edge of Lake Kariba are now not as good as before.
The hot water used to spout to about two metres high and flow down the rocky terrain towards the lake but now hardly rises above the ground.
The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) fenced off the place to protect the hot springs but locals believe the move angered the ancestors.
The local community used to conduct traditional rain-making ceremonies and other rituals at the site but these stopped when Zimparks fenced the area a few years ago.
Locals also said the place has been converted into a haven for immoral activities while others conduct private rituals which are not in tandem with Tonga culture.
The place around the hot springs is reportedly littered with various kinds of garbage such as broken egg shells, bottles and condoms.
Chief Sinansengwe of Binga said the hot springs have lost significance. He said:
<blockquote>
The hot springs are no longer the same since they were taken away from traditional leaders who are no longer allowed to conduct traditional ceremonies there.
That place is cultural and should be returned to traditional leaders who know its sanctity.
There are traditional practices that were performed there which appeased ancestors and that brought blessings to the whole community.
</blockquote>
Chief Siansali whose area also has a hot spring in Lubimbi and cold spring in Kariangwe corroborated Chief Sinansengwe’s claims.
He said the late Chief Sikalenge’s family was the one in charge of the hot springs.
He further claimed that during rainmaking ceremonies at the hot springs a traditional healer would disappear into thin air and on reappearing, would be carrying various kinds of crop produce.
He said that was a sign of crops to be grown that particular year.
When the traditional healer re-appeared with nothing or a few things in his hands, villagers knew that drought was looming and the community would prepare for it. Added Chief Siansali:
<blockquote>
Water used to gush out to the height of a person but that is no longer happening because of interference with culture and the water is slowly disappearing.
This was a sacred place where rainmaking ceremonies and rituals were conducted led by Chief Sikalenge’s family.
</blockquote>
He said there it is still possible to approach the family and appease the spirits.
In Zimbabwe, the hottest springs are in Binga near Lake Kariba where the water reaches 90 degrees celsius, Lubimbi, also in Binga District near the Gwayi River and Rupisi in Manicaland.

Binga Hot Springs Dry Out... Locals Say Ancestors Are Angry

An earthquake with a 4.2 magnitude on the Richter scale struck the Binga area in Matabeleland North on Wednesday morning.
Meteorological Services Department (MSD) head meteorologist James Ngoma told NewsDay that the epicentre of the earthquake was Binga. He said:
<blockquote>
An earthquake of 4.2 a magnitude was felt in Binga around 5.15 am in the morning. There were no reports of damages to property, deaths or injuries.
</blockquote>
Earth tremors are common in Binga and are a result of the earth’s crust’s response to the water load or weight of water in the Kariba dam.

Earth Tremor Strikes Binga

An elderly headman in Binga has been missing for a whole week after taking a three-day walk from his home in Sichutumba to Sianzyundu to visit his relatives to help resolve a social problem.
A villager told Southern Eye that Headman Dickson Siabwizu Mudenda from Binga South made the journey to Sianzyundu on foot because there is no transport in the area. Said the villager:
<blockquote>
The old man, who is a headman, decided to walk to Sianzyundu due to transport problems.
It is reported that he arrived well at Siyanzyundu. On his way back no one knows what happened to him as he has gone missing.
It is now the seventh day since he left Sianzyundu.
Relatives, who lived with him, are now worried and wondering what could have happened to the headman.
Mudenda is shortsighted and villagers now fear that he could have taken the wrong route resulting in him getting lost.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, Chief Dobola on Wednesday told Southern Eye that he was informed that Headman Mudenda was found at Kariangwe but was not sure whether the report was true or not. He said:
<blockquote>
I got a message that he has been found at Kariangwe, but I am yet to check the authenticity of the message.
</blockquote>
Binga is considered to be among some of the country’s most underdeveloped areas with a lack of basic infrastructure such as navigable roads.

Mnangagwa Pampers Binga, Kariba Chiefs Ahead Of 2023 Elections

Binga North MP Prince Dubeko Sibanda (CCC), has claimed that ZANU PF has marginalised Tonga and Shangani people and other minority tribes.
Speaking during a live debate on Wednesday, Sibanda said, since the coming of black majority rule in 1980, few Tonga people have been appointed to top government positions. Said Sibanda:
<blockquote>
If you look at government appointments, one would find that since 1980, there has never been any person from the Zambezi Valley appointed to a ministerial post.
The only time that the Tonga people were treated well was during the government of national unity when they were regarded as equal citizens with other ethnic tribes.
ZANU PF discriminates against, it looks down upon certain ethnic tribes and it’s not only the Tonga people that are affected.
The Shangani and other minority tribes are affected.
</blockquote>
The current Speaker of the National Assembly, Jacob Mudenda, is one of the few top bureaucrats from the Tonga tribe.
Sibanda called for the enactment of laws that guarantee equitable distribution of resources in order to deal with the issue of discrimination against minority tribes.
He also said people in Binga find it difficult to access education for their children while health and transport infrastructure in the district was dilapidated.
Sibanda was elected Binga North MP in the 26 March by-elections with 10 130 votes while ZANU PF candidate Kudakwashe Munsaka got 7 971 votes.
The other candidates were MDC Alliance’s Peggie Mudimba (356), independent candidate Disciple Munkuli (220) and United Democratic Alliance’s Clive Muzamba (136).

A local referee was assaulted by fans during a ZIFA Southern Region Division One match in Binga on Saturday.
The angry Binga United fans savaged the match official, accusing him of awarding a dubious penalty to ZPC Hwange. The hosts were leading 2-1 when the incident occurred.
A video of the referee receiving blows from the mob has gone viral on social media platforms.
Southern Region League chairman Andrew Tapela condemned the behaviour of Binga United fans, describing it as an embarrassment to local football. Said Tapela”
<blockquote>
The league, as expected, would institute an inquiry into the matter and sanction the guilty party.
For now, it is still an alleged case of violence against a match official, we (ZIFA Southern Region) will call all the parties concerned and deal with the case accordingly.
Let me hasten to say that as a region, we condemn such behaviour in the strongest terms.
We are a law-abiding football entity and as such we expect clubs and fans to hold themselves in a way that respects the rules of the game.

Zimbabwean Referee Assaulted By Fans For Awarding 'Dubious' Penalty

Binga North MP designate, Prince Dubeko Sibanda says that for opposition candidates to win elections, they should vigorously campaign in their constituencies and wards rather than wait for people coming from outside.
Sibanda was recalled by the MDC-T in October 2020, which accused him of joining the rival MDC Alliance that was led by Nelson Chamisa at the time.
He has, however, bounced back by winning the seat in the 26 March by-election on a Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) ticket.
Sibanda garnered 10 130 votes, defeating Kudakwashe Mavula Munsaka of ZANU-PF who came second with 7 971 votes.
He believes ZANU PF wanted to win the seat at all costs after it sent its senior members to campaign for its candidate and poured significant financial resources into its campaign.
Obert Mpofu (secretary for administration), Kembo Mohadi and Constantino Chiwenga (both vice presidents), Richard Moyo (provincial chairman) and even President Emmerson Mnangagwa visited Binga North before the by-election.
Sibanda attributed his victory to the importance of strengthened structures and localised leadership who campaigned in all polling stations.
Speaking on Twitter space on By-Election Results and Matabeleland Voting patterns Thursday evening, Sibanda said:
<blockquote>
It is important for people to provide leadership wherever they are in order for people to win and this is what we did.
We literally camped in Binga North and made sure we activated all of our structures.
We had 69 polling stations before the elections and towards the elections, we were told one of our polling stations was going to be removed due to low numbers of voters so 68 were left.
In those 68 polling stations, we had campaign teams of 20 members that were ready to go down to the ground.
There was a lot of vote-buying. I’m sure everyone can see that if they look at the numbers of assisted voters in Binga North they went up this time around.
There were people who were given US$20 and told ‘go into the polling station with someone to assist you.’ That’s why we have numbers of assisted voters going up.
But they could not defeat the localised kind of campaign teams and campaign leadership that we had.
Richard Moyo, Obert Mpofu, Chiwenga, Mohadi, and Mnangagwa are all visitors but we were localised, energised, there on the ground and had the necessary leadership that did the work.
It didn’t really necessarily need me to be in every one of the 15 wards.
I would go and show my face in each and every ward but having people on the ground doing our work for us that was important.
This is what made us win and be where we are today.

Binga North MP Designate, Prince Dubeko Sibanda, Reveals 'Recipe' For Winning Elections

ZANU PF wanted to win Binga North at all costs in the 26 March by-elections, the opposition’s MP designate, Prince Dubeko Sibanda, who won the seat, has claimed.
Sibanda of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), said ZANU PF sent its top officials including Obert Mpofu, Kembo Mohadi, Constantino Chiwenga, Richard Moyo and President Emmerson Mnangagwa himself to campaign for the party’s candidate in a bid to win the seat for the first time in decades but this was all to no avail.
Sibanda won by 10 130 votes, defeating Kudakwashe Mavula Munsaka of ZANU-PF who came second with 7 971 votes, despite the immense resources poured into his campaign by ZANU PF.
Speaking on Twitter space on By-Election Results and Matabeleland Voting patterns on Thursday evening, Sibanda said:
<blockquote>
It is important to give background to this by-election. It was clear that ZANU-PF had targeted Binga North to be one of the biggest prizes.
They put in everything, invested all their energy into Binga North, they wanted it at all costs.
For the first time, all bigwigs of ZANU-PF literally came to camp in Binga North.
We saw (senior ZANU-PF members) Obert Mpofu, Kembo Mohadi, (Vice President Constantino) Chiwenga and Richard Moyo – the ZANU-PF provincial chairman.
We also saw the District Development Coordinator (DDC), a newly appointed ZANU-PF member who is currently the DA in Binga going all over, threatening the traditional leaders that they have to act in a certain way or else they would be removed from their positions. We saw (President Emmerson) Mnangagwa.
ZANU-PF used a lot of money in Matabeleland North and a lot of resources in Binga North. They made sure there were a lot of people and development projects.
We saw a lot of tippers, graders, and caterpillars brought into Binga North for purposes of trying to (coerce) people.
They also brought bicycles. I’m sure the bicycles were seen by everyone but our ground was intact, solid and was never shaken. Those are things we witnessed in Binga North.
</blockquote>
Sibanda was recalled from Parliament by the MDC-T in October 2020, which accused him of joining the rival MDC Alliance which was led by Nelson Chamisa at the time.

'ZANU PF Wanted To Win Binga North At All Costs'

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has fulfilled a pledge he made last week to replace a car belonging to Binga-based ZANU PF central committee member Veronica Munkuli that was burnt by fellow party members.
Munkuli’s vehicle and house were set on fire by party members during intra-party violence.
Speaking to Southern Eye on Tuesday, Munkuli confirmed receiving a new Ford Ranger from Mnangagwa on Monday. She said:
<blockquote>
I do not know what to say. I am very excited because I received a new Ford Ranger in Harare yesterday. I am still in Harare and am very happy. I do not know if this new car will be burnt too.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa promised to give Munkuli a new car while addressing a campaign rally at Siabuwa High School in Binga District last Saturday. He said:
<blockquote>
I heard Veronica Mnkuli, a central committee member, had her house and vehicle burnt when she was trying to unite ZANU PF leaders in the province.
This is very bad, peace, harmony and unity should prevail in ZANU PF.
Therefore, I have requested Mnkuli to come to Harare on Monday so that I give her a new car.

Mnangagwa Replaces Munkuli's Car Burnt By ZANU PF Members

President Emmerson Mnangagwa said the ZANU PF-led Government is committed to spearheading infrastructural development in Binga District as the region has suffered from marginalisation for decades.
Mnangagwa was speaking at a ZANU PF campaign rally at Siabuwa High School in Binga North on Saturday.
The event was attended by thousands of ZANU PF supporters and Vice Presidents and Secretaries, Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi.
Mnangagwa refused to blame the people of Binga for voting for the MDC since the year 2000, saying ZANU PF was to blame for that since the district has suffered from underdevelopment.
He said his government will ensure that schools, dams, roads, hospitals and electricity are provided for Binga so that the region is uplifted economically. The President said:
<blockquote>
Since independence in 1980, we did not visit this area under President Mugabe. We also want to say in honesty that in the past Binga did not vote for ZANU PF. It was not your fault; it was ZANU PF’s.
Binga has been lagging behind in terms of development. If you want roads to be fixed, good schools for your children, you don’t go to the opposition because you will never find solutions there.
I will also avail four buses. I am told there are no science laboratories, no computers… so I brought computers for Siabuwa High School. The country is built by its citizens. We are building our children.
The Gwayi-Shangani Dam is now at 60% completion. Upon completion, it will serve Lupane to the West and Binga to the East. Some of the water will irrigate the chiefs’ fields.
We are developing 10 megawatts of electricity. We have instructed the team working on solar projects to install electricity at schools so that the science laboratories are functional.
Yesterday we visited the Zambezi, where a pipe is drawing water over a 42-kilometre stretch. We have marked three major points where it shall provide water for irrigation here in Binga, on its way to Hwange.
We also have Lupane Hospital – I appointed the soldier (Vice President Chiwenga) as Minister of Health so that he would build hospitals. That is what he is doing now.
We have a programme where we give cattle to the youths. We encourage the youths to join the Youth League so that they benefit from the cattle programme.
We also have the Presidential Fisheries Programme under which you receive large boxes to breed fish.
You have pledged that we will win. After 26 March, the first week of April, I will return and go to the Zambezi.
Your chiefs and members of the Women’s League here have received fishing boats. 31 fishing boats are complete.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa also said chiefs had asked to be included in the Binga Local Board and he has since directed the Minister of Local Government and Public Works July Moyo to accede to their request.
He warned non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that operate in the country against meddling in politics, saying they will be expelled from the country if they deviate from their mandate.

Mnangagwa Pledges To Expedite Binga's Development, Says ZANU PF To Blame For The Region's Marginalisation

President Emmerson Mnangagwa says God and the ancestors know that ZANU PF is the party in power in Zimbabwe.
Addressing thousands of ZANU PF supporters during a campaign rally at Siabuwa High School in Binga District, Matabeleland North Province on Saturday, Mnangagwa said only misguided ancestral spirits will refuse to testify that ZANU PF rules Zimbabwe. <a href="https://twitter.com/ZBCNewsonline/status/1505145556057968642?s=20&amp;t=h_SrRQhCQDgQ6n3gnmfZKw">ZBC News quoted Mnangagwa as saying</a>:
<blockquote>
Makanzwa ndichiti nyika yeZimbabwe is one, tikavhunza Jehovah arikumusoro uko kuti nyika inotongwa nani, anoti ne ZANU PF.
Tikavhunza midzimu yese kuti nyika ino inotongwa nani, inongoti inotongwa ne ZANU PF.
Iwe wako midzimu ichikuti haitongwe ne ZANU PF midzimu kwayo here iyoyo?
You heard me saying Zimbabwe is a unitary State, if we ask Jehovah [the name God in the Hebrew scriptures] in heaven who rules Zimbabwe, He will say it’s ruled by ZANU PF.
If we were to ask the ancestors who rule Zimbabwe, they will also say ZANU PF.
If your own ancestors refuse to acknowledge that ZANU PF rules Zimbabwe, those ancestors are misguided.
</blockquote>
President Mnangagwa admitted that Binga has been lagging behind in terms of development and pledged to accelerate the district’s infrastructural development. He said:
<blockquote>
Since independence in 1980, we did not visit this area under President Mugabe. We also want to say in honesty that in the past Binga did not vote for ZANU PF. It was not your fault; it was ZANU PF’s.
Binga has been lagging behind in terms of development. If you want roads to be fixed, good schools for your children, you don’t go to the opposition because you will never find solutions there,” he said.

God And The Ancestors Know That ZANU PF Rules Zimbabwe, Says ED

President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Saturday condemned intra-party violence in ZANU PF and threatened to intervene if party leaders in Matabeleland North Province fail to unite and end the scourge.
He was speaking during a campaign rally at Siabuwa Business Centre in Binga District to drum up support for ZANU PF candidates ahead of the 26 March by-elections.
The warning against intra-party violence comes after a central committee member in the district, Veronica Mnkuli, had her house and vehicle burnt by opponents recently. Said Mnangagwa:
<blockquote>
Let us forget the misunderstandings that we have been having.
I hear that there have been problems after party elections in Binga.
I want to say to ZANU PF leaders in this province that you must be united.
If you fail to unite, I will have to step in.
No one can pocket ZANU PF, but ZANU PF can pocket everyone.
I heard Veronica Mnkuli, a central committee member, had her house and vehicle burnt when she was trying to unite ZANU PF leaders in the province.
This is very bad, peace, harmony and unity should prevail in ZANU PF.
Therefore, I have requested Mnkuli to come to Harare on Monday so that I give her a new car.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa also donated 31 fishing boats to traditional leaders and the women’s league.
Binga is arguably one of the most underdeveloped districts in the country and the opposition has been dominant since the year 2000.
