Choppies, a retailer in Zimbabwe, was evicted from Adullah’s building along Main Street in Gweru Central Business District (CBD) this Friday. A video circulating on social media shows that all commodities were thrown out of the building.
Employers who spoke on condition of anonymity claimed that the commodities were thrown out by the messenger of court who then locked the doors. The cause of the incident appears to be linked to the sale of the building by its Indian owner. Choppies was allegedly given ample time to relocate, but refused to do so, citing a lease agreement expiring in 2025 with the previous owner. This resulted in the new owner throwing them out after they failed to meet the deadline. One till operator, who declined to be named for fear of victimisation, confirmed the details of the incident.
Some reports suggest that the retailer failed or neglected to pay rentals. Watch the video below for more.

WATCH: Choppies Zimbabwe Evicted From Adullah’s Building In Gweru

The Meteorological Services Department (MSD), in conjunction with the Department of Civil Protection, has issued the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe evening weather report</a> and forecast for Wednesday 21 June 2023, valid until Friday 23 June 2023.
MSD reported that a change in the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">wind regime</a> overnight resulted in <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">moderate ground frost</a> in Matopos, Lupane, Rusape, and Henderson, and drizzle in Chisumbanje. By evening, the south-easterly winds began to die down.
On Thursday 22 June 2023, very cold morning conditions are anticipated over the Highveld, with moderate ground frost in Matopos, Lupane, Nkayi, Gweru, Henderson, Rusape, Marondera, Nyanga, Mukandi, and Mount Darwin. All other areas will be cold at first, becoming warm by afternoon with clear skies and a cooling breeze towards evening.
The weather outlook for Friday 23 June 2023 predicts cloudy, windy, and cold conditions in certain provinces, including Masvingo, Matabeleland South, and southern areas of the Midlands. Measures should be taken to mitigate the effects of the cold, including monitoring temperature within fowl-runs and adjusting accordingly, keeping warm, and dressing appropriately for vulnerable members of the community, such as children, the elderly, and those with respiratory-related illnesses.
Cattle rearers can provide shelter for their livestock to protect them from the cold, and ensure they are properly fed and watered. Poultry farmers, especially those with day-old chicks, should monitor the temperature within their fowl runs and adjust accordingly to reduce the impact of cold conditions on their bird population. 
Fireguards should be constructed to prevent the spread of fires, especially in areas that are at risk of wildfires.

Zimbabwe Weather Report And Forecast Valid Until June 23

The Meteorological Services Department of Zimbabwe (MSD) in partnership with the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Civil Protection Department</a> has released the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Evening Weather Report</a> and Forecast, valid until 18 June 2023.
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. This may include providing adequate shelter and bedding, as well as ensuring that the animals have access to sufficient feed and water. It is also important to monitor the animals’ health closely and seek <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">veterinary assistance</a> if necessary.
For those intending to travel to <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe</a>‘s <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">holiday resorts</a>, it is advisable to pack warm clothing, particularly for early morning and evening activities. It is also important to take precautions against respiratory-related illnesses, such as carrying appropriate medication and avoiding exposure to cold conditions for extended periods. Additionally, it is recommended to check with local authorities for any weather-related advisories or warnings and to follow their instructions.
The weather outlook for 18 June 2023 anticipates a warm north-easterly airflow with sunny conditions over the country, but cold morning and evening conditions with moderate ground frost in certain areas.

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.

Zimbabwe's Weather Report And Forecast For 04-06 June 2023

The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) of Zimbabwe, in partnership with the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Civil Protection Department</a>, has released the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">evening weather report</a> and forecast for Zimbabwe, valid until Monday, 05 June 2023. The report indicates mostly sunny conditions throughout the country during the day, with cool temperatures at night and warm temperatures during the day. Winds are generally light across all areas.
The forecast for Sunday, 04 June 2023, predicts that mostly sunny conditions will persist countrywide, with a significant contrast between daytime and night temperatures. No ground frost is anticipated, but windy and cool conditions may affect vulnerable members of society and trigger respiratory-related illnesses in all persons. Poultry, especially day-old chicks, are sensitive to overnight temperature changes.
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.

Insp Mahoko said the woman boarded a white Honda fit at the Cathedral bus stop in Gweru intending to go to Shurugwi. 
He said there were four male occupants including the driver, according to the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/naked-woman-thrown-out-of-speeding-honda-fit-after-robbery/">Chronicle</a>.
Upon reaching Clay bank roundabout, Gweru, two male adult passengers jumped from the boot and sat in the back seat beside the woman.
The robbers allegedly hit the woman on the forehead with an iron bar and robbed her of her Itel P38 cell phone, a bag containing various clothes, and cash US$80 and stripped her naked before pushing her out of the speeding car. 
She then walked to Gweru Provincial Hospital where she was assisted with clothes. A report was made at ZRP Gweru Central and the scene was attended. 
Mahoko said no arrests were made and nothing was recovered from the stolen goods.
He appealed to members of the public who might have information leading to the arrest of the four suspects to approach any nearest police station with the information.
Mahoko also urged the public to board public service vehicles as they appear to be safer than Mushikashika vehicles.

<h2>IMPACTS</h2>
• Even when skies seem clear overhead, lightning remains a threat, as thunderstorm clouds may be near. 
• Thunderstorms remain probable, and these pose a threat to humans and livestock as well as property. 
• Rain may affect outdoor activities High daytime temperatures increase the probability of dehydration and evapotranspiration.

MSD Forecasts Isolated Thunderstorms, Thundershowers - 24-26 March 2023

The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Meteorological_Services_Department">Meteorological Services Department (MSD)</a> of Zimbabwe has forecasted windy weather conditions from Saturday onwards. In a weather update seen by Pindula News, MSD also reported that Tropical Storm Freddy influenced the weather conditions recorded in the eastern and southern parts of Zimbabwe. Reads the update: 
<h2>ZIMBABWE EVENING WEATHER REPORT AND FORECAST ISSUED AT 1600 HRS FRIDAY 10 MARCH 2023 VALID UNTIL SUNDAY 12 MARCH 2023.</h2>
Severe Tropical Storm Freddy is still in the Mozambique Channel (more than 500 km east of Nyanga) heading towards the north coast of Mozambique (near Quelimane). Freddy’s outer-spiral cloud bands (stretching over more than a 750 km radius) resulted in cloudy, windy and mild conditions over the southern and eastern parts of the country (Matabeleland South, Masvingo, south-western parts of Midlands, Harare Metropolitan, Manicaland and all Mashonaland Provinces), with light drizzle in Masvingo, Manicaland and southern parts of Mashonaland East. Other parts of the country had mostly sunny but also became windy towards evening.
<h2>FORECAST FOR TOMORROW, SATURDAY 11 MARCH 2023 </h2>
Windy conditions are expected over much of the country, strengthening towards evening. It should be mild in Masvingo, Manicaland, Harare Metropolitan and all Mashonaland Provinces, with partly cloudy conditions at first becoming cloudy towards evening with light rain, especially over high ground. Mostly sunny and warm are anticipated in all other areas (Bulawayo Metropolitan, Midlands as well as Matabeleland North and South Provinces), though mild in the morning and windy towards evening.
<h2>IMPACTS</h2>
Wind Gusts increase the probability of lost debris or roofs being blown-off. The wind factor makes the real-feel temperature much less than the actual. Light rains may affect outdoor activities.
<h2>ACTION TO TAKE</h2>
• Secure rooftops and insure any loose objects that can be easily carried by the wind are secure. 
• Avoid being outdoors during episodes of strong winds as debris carried by the wind can cause harm and injury. 
• Ensure vulnerable persons are kept warm and safe, especially towards evening when winds are expected to strengthen. 
• Plan with the weather in mind as light rains and strong winds are anticipated especially over the eastern and southern parts of the country.
<h2>WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR SUNDAY 12 MARCH 2023</h2>
Matabeleland South, Bulawayo Metropolitan, southern areas of the Midlands, Masvingo, Manicaland, Harare Metropolitan, Mashonaland east and eastern districts of Mashonaland Central should be mostly cloudy, windy and mild with intermittent light rain in places. All other areas, namely Matabeleland North, northern parts of the Midlands, Mashonaland West and western parts of Mashonaland Central, are expected to be partly cloudy and warm, with a generally light breeze, though slight gusts are probable, particularly overnight.

Zimbabwe Weather - 10-12 MARCH 2023

Two people who are allegedly associated with a network that is using fake money to con businesspeople around the nation have been arrested by police in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Gweru">Gweru</a>.
Everson Kabura (38) of Cowdray Park, Bulawayo, and Chrispen Kutira (42) of Fourwinds, Bulawayo, were arrested while at an Apostolic shrine in Gweru’s Mtapa suburb. This resulted in the recovery of some fake money that was in their car.
Midlands Police Spokesperson, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko said they were arrested after Kutira was involved in a scuffle with a female resident. The <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/police-bust-counterfeit-money-syndicate/">Chronicle</a> quotes Inspector Mahoko as saying:
<blockquote>
On March 1, Kutira unlawfully entered a house on the pretext that he wanted to see the woman’s husband and suddenly indecently fondled her breasts. This did not go down well and the female victim threatened to call neighbors resulting in the suspect speeding off in a grey Ford Ranger.
Police received information that the vehicle had been seen parked near an Apostolic shrine near Matapa Roundabout. Acting on the information, the police swiftly reacted and raided and arrested the suspects.
</blockquote>
Further investigations revealed that the two had defrauded a fuel attendant after they bought fuel using a fake US$100 note on 23 February in Gweru.
Police are calling upon members of the public who might have fallen victim to these suspects to report to ZRP Gweru Central Police Station so that all the cases may be cleared.

Fake Money Syndicate Arrested, Notes Recovered

There has been an increase in the uptake of condoms in the Gweru District where over 600 000 condoms for both females and males have been distributed from January to date.
388 030 condoms were distributed during the same period in 2021.
Petros Mazengwa, who is Gweru District HIV and Aids co-ordinator at the National Aids Council (NAC) told the Chronicle that this is mainly attributed to the role played by Condom Champions (CC) who are supporting the distribution of condoms. Said Mazengwa:
<blockquote>
Gweru district has recorded a surge in condom use after over 600 000 condoms both female and male were distributed from January to date. Condoms distributed are 581 709 males and 24 716 females.
A total 388 030 condoms were distributed last year in the district meaning we have a surge in condom distribution this year.
</blockquote>
He said the CC volunteers are based in the wards and are involved in condom distribution, monitoring and information dissemination on “combination HIV prevention”. Said Mazengwa:
<blockquote>
The district currently has 19 Condom Champions covering all wards. The Condom Champions also support other combination prevention programs by way of creating demand for services like HIV testing services (HTS), voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC), prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), cancer screening and others.
</blockquote>
He said condoms are usually distributed at hotspots like beer outlets, clubs and other public drinking facilities as well as at universities and colleges.
When used correctly and consistently, condoms are a reliable method of preventing pregnancy and protecting both partners from sexually transmitted infections (STIs). | <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/gweru-records-546pc-surge-in-condom-distribution/">Chronicle</a>

Gweru Records Surge In Condom Distribution

There is some sense of panic among Gweru residents residing in the flash flooding areas such as Mambo, Mtapa, Ascot Infill, Mkoba 6, Mkoba 4, 9, and 10 suburbs as the rains start.
Riverside and Nashville suburbs are also prone to flash floods which lead to flooding of homes.
Ms Marian Shumba of the Mambo suburb lost most of her property to floods in the last rainy season. Her three children were left with no food or blankets. The thought of floods traumatises her. She told the Chronicle:
<blockquote>
Every time it rains I get goosebumps all over my body. Council is still to clear the storm drains and if there are heavy rains, it will definitely flood.
</blockquote>
To prevent flooding in cities, authorities are encouraged to create flood plains and overflow areas for rivers, separate rainwater from the sewer system as well as install water infiltration and attenuation systems.
Mr Cornelius Selipiwe, Gweru Residents and Ratepayers’ Association director said the council was not doing enough to avert flooding challenges.
He said residents need to be taught on proper disposal of waste to avoid blocking drainages.
Meanwhile, City of Gweru public relations officer Ms Vimbai Chingwaramusee said the council has covered over 40 kilometres of culverts and drainage clearance.
Experts warned of flash flooding in low-lying areas and landslides in the eastern parts of the country.

“Every Time It Rains I Get Goosebumps" - Resident In Area Prone To Flash Flooding

Loreto High School in Silobela, about 100 km west of Kwekwe, allegedly sent learners in forms 1, 3 and 5 home this Thursday for outstanding fees and is said to be planning to send forms 4 and 6 home on Friday.
A school authority who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed the development in a phone interview with Pindula News. Said the authority:
<blockquote>
Yes, it’s true. They left the school around 10 am. They were ferried by the school bus to Kwekwe and some have since returned suggesting that they met their parents or guardians in Kwekwe.
</blockquote>
The authority said this reporter must contact the school head, Mr Philip Musindo Mapiravana who denied the reports. He said:
<blockquote>
What’s your mission? I do not know anything about that.
</blockquote>
Mr Mapiravana also denied writing a WhatsApp message, gleaned by this reporter, in which he allegedly told parents that the learners had been given passes to go home. Read the message:
<blockquote>
Vana vapiwa passes. Coming home now
</blockquote>
A parent who spoke to Pindula News also suggested that the school head had sent the learners home. The parent who spoke on condition of anonymity expressed concern over the development saying learners were “dumped” in Kwekwe. Added the parent:
<blockquote>
Then from there, he said vana vazvionere and some of them have no money on them. Some come from Harare or even further.
In an audio sent earlier, the head said the bus will go as far as Gweru.
The major concern is the safety of these children a lot is happening. No parent was informed prior to this that their children were coming home. These children are engaging in all sorts of things this week you published those 12 girls from a Shurugwi school who were then found drunk in white waters. What if they don’t get home? What if they don’t have transport money from Kwekwe then that child is stuck in Kwekwe. Who knows what they will do to get home?
</blockquote>
The head is allegedly planning to send home the students in classes sitting for national examinations – forms 4 and 6 – tomorrow (Friday) after their exams.
The development comes after Parliament has discussed the issue of non-payment of fees. 
On 28 September 2022, Umzingwane Constituency National Assembly member Levi Mayihlome said <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/09/30/parents-reluctant-to-pay-fees-abusing-govt-policy-which-forbids-sending-learners-home-over-fees-mp/">parents were abusing the government’s policy</a> which forbids schools from sending learners home over non-payment of fees.
He made the remarks during the National Assembly Question and Answer session adding that the situation was not sustainable as school administrators were running schools on a zero budget. He said:

Loreto High School Sends Learners Home Over Outstanding Fees

An MDC-T councillor, Edson Kurebgaseka of Ward 9, has landed the deputy mayor’s post in Gweru under controversial circumstances.
He was elected after two CCC councillors were ejected from a meeting where elections were conducted for alleged improper dressing.
Ironically, there were MDC-T councillors in the meeting who were wearing sandals but were left in the meeting, reported <a href="https://masvingomirror.com/ccc-councilors-kicked-out-as-mwonzora-loyalist-wins-elections/">The Mirror</a>.
Kurebgaseka was elected during a special council meeting held last Tuesday to replace the recently recalled deputy mayor Cleopas Shiri.
Shiri who was elected in 2018 on an MDC Alliance ticket then led by Nelson Chamisa, was recalled by MDC T leader, Douglas Mwonzora together with two other Gweru councillors, Martin Chivhoko and John Manyundwa for being aligned to CCC.
Kurebgaseka polled 8 votes against his CCC rival and Ward 12 Councillor Jefta Zvidzai who garnered 4 votes.
Two councillors, former Gweru Mayor Josiah Makombe and Ward 6 Councillor Godfrey Giwa were forced out of the meeting on allegations that they were wearing round-collar t-shirts.
Meanwhile, by-elections will be held on Saturday 3 December 2022 to fill the vacancies left by the recalled councillors.

CCC Councillors Ejected From Meeting As Mwonzora Loyalist Wins Elections

Police have rejected an application by Gweru residents to stage a demonstration against the Gweru City Council on Monday.
The planned protest was organised by Gweru United Progressive Residents and Ratepayers Development Association (GUPRADA) and Gweru Residents and Ratepayers Association (GRRA).
It was set to take place at Gweru Town House from 11 AM to 1 PM.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) turned down the application on the grounds that the convenors failed to meet the requirements outlined in the Maintenance of Peace and Order Act (MOPA).
Part of a letter dated 12 October 2022, addressed to GUPRADA director David Chikore by the officer Commanding Gweru Police Urban District Superintendent Joshua Nyamadzawo reads in part:
<blockquote>
Reference is made to the notification dated September 11, which was received on October 11. This office regrets to advise you that your notification does not meet the requirements as outlined in Section 7.1(a), 7.2(f-h)b of MOPA Chapter 11;23.
You didn’t give adequate notice of seven days for the intended gathering. You failed to state conveners’ addresses and their deputies’ names, addresses and telephone numbers. You failed to indicate the number of participants.
You failed to indicate the number and names of marshals as well as how they’re distinguished.
You also failed to mention the manner in which the participants will be transported to and from the venue.
</blockquote>
GRRA director Conilia Selipiwe told <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200002007/police-block-gweru-residents-demo">NewsDay Weekender</a> that they had taken note of the letter and will make another application on Friday, 14 October 2022.

A woman from Gweru’s Ascot suburb allegedly stabbed her husband to death following a dispute over a WhatsApp message she had received from a suspected boyfriend.
The suspect, Ruvimbo Chamunorwa (age not given), then fled from their lodgings to Mberengwa and was on the run for three days until the police arrested her in Zvishavane.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Midlands Province, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko, confirmed the murder of Malcom Maliko (33) by Chamunorwa on Friday last week. He said:
<blockquote>
Zimbabwe Republic Police is investigating a murder case in which a 33-year-old man died after sustaining a deep cut on his ribs following a fight after a misunderstanding with his wife. The incident occurred on August 19 at around 10:30 PM in Ascot suburb in Gweru.
</blockquote>
Insp Mahoko said Maliko was warming himself by a fire outside the house in the company of one Arthur Kurai, a co-tenant when he reportedly saw a WhatsApp message purported to be from Chamunorwa’s boyfriend on her smartphone. Said Mahoko:
<blockquote>
Maliko had an exchange of harsh words with Chamunorwa’s alleged boyfriend over the phone after which a misunderstanding arose with Chamunorwa also known as Mai Talent, over the alleged love messages.
At around 10:30 pm, Insp Mahoko said Mr Kurai heard the couple fighting and he reported the matter at Mtapa Police Station.
The police attended the scene and when they got to the house, they found Maliko lying in a pool of blood in his room. His wife had disappeared from the scene.
Maliko’s body was taken to Gweru Provincial Hospital mortuary for post-mortem and investigations are in progress.
</blockquote>
Chamunorwa was arrested on Monday at Mandava Long Distance Bus Terminus in Zvishavane after she had come from Mberengwa where she was hiding.
Insp Mahoko implored members of the public to resolve their domestic disputes amicably or engage a third party, rather than resorting to violence.

"Cheating" Woman Kills Husband In Fight Over WhatsApp Message

The mayor of the city of Gweru and Ward 1 councillor, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hamutendi_Kombayi">Hamutendi Kombayi</a>, has asked council management to engage the owners of donkey-drawn scotch carts to help in refuse collection.
Illegal firewood hawkers frequent Gweru’s high-density suburbs, merchandising their wares using donkey-drawn scotch carts.
Speaking in a Gweru Residents and Ratepayers Association (GRRA) WhatsApp group on 15 August, Kombayi suggested that since the local authority didn’t have enough trucks for refuse collection, it should be innovative and engage the owners of donkey-drawn scotch carts. Said Kombayi:
<blockquote>
The deputy mayor, all councillors here present, all protocols observed. May I take this opportunity to emphasize that I am trying to communicate to you this week with regard to refuse collection.
We are going to hold our Midlands Agricultural Show from the 18th to the 21st of this month and as the City of Progress, we need to unite bearing in mind that we have current disease outbreaks.
We need to hold a robust clean-up campaign to avoid all that. The problem is that our council does not have refuse trucks.
We need to make other suggestions so that refuse is collected. I am going to meet the Chamber Secretary so that he engages those with donkey scotch carts.
As the Commander in Chief of Gweru Municipality police, I command that the Chamber Secretary allow those young people who own donkey-drawn scotch carts selling firewood to do their firewood business freely and in return, they collect refuse on behalf of council.
Council management should also think outside the box. If you fail to reach your agreements with contracted trucks, let’s engage owners of donkey-drawn carts to lessen the burden.
</blockquote>
Gweru council Public Relations Officer Vimbai Chingwaramusee said refuse trucks have been repaired and are now back on the road. She said:
<blockquote>
Our refuse trucks have been serviced and they are back on the road. As we are speaking now, refuse collection has resumed and it’s now back to normal.
As council, we are in the process of planning to adopt a new refuse collection structure where all refuse is collected from one point in all locations.
We saw this model in Bulawayo, it’s a model that engages private contractors in collecting and bringing garbage to one point of collection where our trucks will be collecting.
</blockquote>
The majority of Zimbabwe’s urban councils have for years been struggling to collect refuse and as a result, ratepayers have resorted to dumping garbage everywhere including in storm drains.

The Mayor of Gweru, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hamutendi_Kombayi">Hamutendi Kombayi,</a> recently instructed councillors to think outside the box in ensuring effective “refugee collection” in the city. The mayor, who apparently meant “refuse” instead of refugee, also addressed himself as the city’s municipal police “Commaner In Chief”.
Parts of the short speech seemed incoherent and it was increasingly charged. Kombayi was speaking to the councillors ahead of the province’s annual Agricultural Show which is currently underway. A part of his speech has circulated on social media in Zimbabwe.
Said Kombayi:
<blockquote>
This coming week, in regards to refugee collection. May I make it aware to you that we are holding our Midlands Agricultural Show, as from the 18th to the 21st of August. And we are saying as the City of Progress we need for us all to unite, and bearing in mind that we have got an alert of the current outbreak of disease.
We need to carry out a robust cleanout cmpaign. I have already ordered that the roads department, the tipper and the front  end loader be assigned to the health department. And I expect that we have an implementation wherreby the management organises with residents through you councillors so that we have garbage collection.

Vanhu vaburitse ma bin ari mudzimba. Let’s do this. Let us all put our heads together and make sure that we collect garbage. We collect refugee. We clean Gweru! Especially for the coming event in our town. I thank you.

Gweru is the third largest city in Zimbabwe. Kombayi who is an opposition councillor is a member of the MDC political party led by Douglas Mwonzora.
He is the son of late businessman, nationalist and opposition politician Patrick Kombayi. His father was also a Gweru mayor at some point.

Gweru Mayor Shocks Zimbabweans With "Refugee Collection" Speech

Police in Midlands Province have confirmed investigating a murder case following the discovery of the dead body of a man in a disused motor vehicle parked in an alley at the Midlands Hotel recently.
The body was discovered in Gweru Central Business District on 25 July 2022 at about 7.30 AM.
The body has been linked to an assault case of a then-unknown man who was reported at Gweru Central by an informant Samuel Jackson Jacha (29) of Mambo suburb in Gweru.
Police investigations conducted have established that on 22 July 2022 at about 8.30 PM, the witnesses saw four men assaulting a man (now deceased) who had just come out of Pandas Bar on 3rd street.
The assailants reportedly used a rubber sjambok, empty beer bottles and an okapi knife.
The victim had then escaped to an unknown destination but with very serious injuries.
Police officers attended the scene during the night and arrested four suspects for assault namely Nkosi Ncube (26) Terrence Lewis Sibanda (18), Washington Ngwenya (20) and Jealous Matola (21) all of Umsungwe road, Ridgemont in Gweru.
The officers searched for the complainant but could not locate him or establish his identity.
Then the following day (Saturday, July 23 2022), the four suspects were taken to court where they were remanded in custody to July 26, 2022, while investigations continued.
On Monday, July 25, 2022, at 7.30 AM an informant Tendai Mafuratidze (34) reported at Gweru Central police that he had discovered a dead body in a motor vehicle in a car park.
Police attended the scene and retrieved the body. The four suspects are now being charged with murder.
Injuries reported to have been inflicted on the assault victim on Friday night are tallying with those on the body.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Midlands Province, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko, thanked members of the public who helped police with information regarding the incident.
TellZim News reported a source as saying the uncle of the now deceased was told by the now deceased’s mother that the four suspects were alleged to be illegal gold panners.
They are reported to have confronted the now deceased over an unknown dispute.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has identified the body of a man who was found in a parked car at Midlands Hotel in Gweru city centre on Monday morning.
Police say the deceased is Denzel Trevor Ncube (26).
Ncube was found dead in a non-runner Mercedes Benz within Midlands Hotel premises on Monday and police have since arrested four suspects in connection with his death.

Gweru City Council (GCC) has resolved to index bills in foreign currency with ratepayers being able to settle their bills and services using the prevailing auction rate.
The local authority’s 2022 budget of $4.9 billion, which was approved by the Government, has depreciated by over 72 per cent.
GCC communications officer, Vimbai Chingwaramusee, confirmed the development. She said:
<blockquote>
We are seeking to comply with Statutory Instrument 118 A of 2022, which directs suppliers of goods and services to charge their goods and services at the interbank rate plus 10 per cent.
The City of Gweru buys goods and services for its service delivery value chain at the interbank rate plus 10 per cent and it becomes apparent that it has to recover its costs at the interbank rate plus 10 per cent.
So the City of Gweru seeks to use the interbank rate in the payment of bills as a result of the local currency’s volatility.
</blockquote>
She said that the local authority had decided on the move as a means of closing the gap between revenue and expenditure. Added Chingwaramusee:
<blockquote>
The City Fathers are aware of challenges faced by residents, they are aware of what they are going through and as such opted not to come up with a supplementary budget over and above complying with the interbank pricing regime.
You will note that inflation is also soaring closing at 191 per cent for June 2022, so as much as there are price changes due to exchange rate volatilities, there are also changes due to inflation among others, the reason why you reckon there are price changes even in USD denominated prices.
</blockquote>
On Wednesday, Gweru residents reportedly walked out of the budget review meeting in protest over the absence of printed old budget copies. The meeting had to be postponed.
