President Emmerson Mnangagwa was on Wednesday, 08 March 2023, expected to address members of the Johanne Marange Apostolic Church in Marange.
The event is a Groundbreaking and Fundraising Ceremony for a proposed boarding facility at St Noah College.
ZANU PF Manicaland chairman Tawanda Mukodza confirmed Mnangagwa’s expected visit to Marange to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200008494/ed-heads-for-marange">NewsDay</a>. He said:
<blockquote>
It is true that President Emmerson Mnangagwa will be in our province tomorrow (today) for a ground-breaking ceremony at St Noah College.
Our President supports the education system and indigenous churches in the country.
We are encouraging people from various corners of the country to come and witness this historic moment.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, St Noah College opened its doors in January 2012. It comprises both a Primary and Secondary School on one campus.
The school was named after the late Noah Taguta who was the leader of the Johane Marange Apostolic Church in Zimbabwe.

Mnangagwa Set To Attend St Noah College Groundbreaking Ceremony

Four armed robbers raided an illegal diamond buyer at Marange diamond fields last Friday and robbed him of US$10 000 and a vehicle at gunpoint.
The dealer, Bearlright Mukwawaya (35), has since recovered his vehicle, <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200003934/illegal-diamond-dealer-robbed-of-us10k">NewsDay</a> reported citing Manicaland assistant police spokesperson Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka.
It is alleged that the robbers dangled pieces of diamonds at the unsuspecting dealer before robbing him. Read a police memo:
<blockquote>
We reported an armed robbery in the Chiadzwa diamond mining area On November 18, 2022 around 12 midnight.  An armed robbery occurred at Old Jinani premises whereby Bearlright Mukwawaya from Mutare was robbed of his US$10 000.
It is alleged that Mukwawaya, an illegal diamond dealer, was driving an unregistered GD6 Legend 50, black and white in colour, when he received a phone call from a registered Econet number.
The caller introduced himself as an illegal diamond panner and wanted Mukwawaya to meet his syndicate at Jinani for diamond dealings in the general area of Tonhorai. Mukwawaya came in the company of his friend, George Zeya.
On arrival, Mukwawaya and the friend met up with a syndicate of four males who produced four pieces of diamonds. The syndicate got inside the vehicle and handed over the pieces of diamonds to Mukwawaya.
</blockquote>
Police said while assessing the diamonds, one male from the syndicate produced a pistol and pointed it at Mukwawaya, as the other suspect hooked his neck with his arm.
Mukwawaya surrendered and told the robbers to take US$2 000 from his trousers’ right pocket and another US$8 000 from his vehicle (glovebox). 
On noticing that his friend was in danger, Zeya tried to intervene, but could not contain the situation as he was attacked by other two suspects with a steel bar and sustained a deep cut. Zeya fell down and was stabbed with a knife.
The assailants got into the car and shoved Mukwawaya out and drove towards Tonhorai shops along Mashukashuka Road and abandoned the vehicle 400 metres after Tonhorai Primary School.
The matter was reported at Marange Police Station.
The development comes soon after a security guard at Anjin Investments, Munyaradzi Nkomo was arrested in possession of 91 diamond pieces while attempting to smuggle them from the premises.

Illegal Diamond Buyer Robbed Of Cash And Car At Gunpoint

Villagers in Marange District have petitioned the government to withdraw the recently deployed state security agents whom they accuse of human rights violations, including torture.
Last week, representatives of the villagers held a meeting with Mines and Mining Development minister Winston Chitando, state security agents, and Marange diamond mining companies among other stakeholders in Harare to discuss the issue.
The chief executive officer of Chiadzwa Community Ownership Trust Hardwork Mukwada represented the villagers.
Mukwada refused to comment on the outcome of the meeting when he was contacted by <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/thestandard/local-news/article/200002081/fresh-rights-abuses-hit-marange">The Standard</a> saying this will jeopardise the engagements. He said:
<blockquote>
It was a closed-door meeting and it is not proper for me to discuss what was discussed in the meeting.
l don’t want to discuss what happened in the meeting because this will jeopardise what we discussed in the meeting.
I am not brushing you aside but I am leading an engagement with some authorities and communities so please don’t publish it.
</blockquote>
The Standard reported a source as saying Mukwada and other civil society organisations (CSOs) highlighted the abuses being perpetrated by State security agents in Marange. Said the source:
<blockquote>
Mukwada also pointed to the arrogance of the base commander of the soldiers (name withheld) who has refused to engage with the traditional leaders upon request.
He also spoke about the issue of security checkpoints where villagers are being asked to pay cash and that they solicit cash from passers-by and commuter omnibuses.
</blockquote>
Newman Chiadzwa of Chiadzwa Development Community Trust (CDTT) also confirmed the meeting and human rights abuses.
Chitando reportedly spoke briefly during the meeting before calling for continuous dialogue among stakeholders.

Human Rights Abuses Hit Marange

A member of the Johanne Marange Apostolic sect says it is an offence for any of their members to receive medical treatment.
Dorcas Mhere (47), the senior wife of Clever Maveto, said they have been using holy water, salt and cooking oil to cure all her children when they fall ill since the early 1980s.
The Maveto family, from Bikita District in Masvingo Province, is accused of burying children in a mass grave after they allegedly succumbed to measles.
Reports claimed Maveto (67), a polygamist, buried his children, aged one, three and four years – as well as a 10-month-old toddler – under the cover of darkness after they allegedly succumbed to measles-related complications last month.
Maveto has, however, refuted the allegations saying he is prepared to let anyone exhume the bodies to see for themselves that there were no mass graves at his homestead.
Meanwhile, Mhere told <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/water-salt-cooking-oil-and-in-other-cases-just-a-bit-of-coca-cola-a-familys-master-prescription-for-illnesses/">H-Metro</a> that she has never been to a hospital and depends on prayers and help from prophets. She said:
<blockquote>
It is not allowed for one to seek medical attention. You just pray for whatever illness you’re facing or consult the prophet for help.
We only use holy water, cooking oil and salt, depending on the prophet’s instructions.
When a child is born, we perform a ritual to protect the baby from measles.
For other ailments, like a running stomach, we use fresh milk and Coca-Cola, to cleanse the body.
</blockquote>
Alice Chiyambiro, Mhere’s sister, said they also use a mixture of lemons, cooking oil and warm water for healing infants with fontanelle problems (nhova).

Apostolic Sect Member Says It's An Offence To Receive Medical Treatment

A member of the Johanne Marange Apostolic Sect in Bikita, Masvingo, says rumours he secretly buried nine of his children in mass graves are false and probably the work of his enemies.
The reports claimed Clever Maveto (67), a polygamist, buried his children, aged one, three and four years – as well as a 10-month-old toddler – under the cover of darkness after they allegedly succumbed to measles-related complications last month.
He had reportedly refused to take the children to the hospital for treatment.
<a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/kids-mass-graves-father-clears-the-air-over-raging-controversy-ready-to-exhume-bodies-to-shame-critics/">H-Metro</a> reported sources as saying Maveto buried the bodies in sets of threes.
But Maveto, who has 15 children with three wives, claimed he had only lost one son and three grandchildren. He said:
<blockquote>
I am prepared to let anyone exhume the bodies to check whether there is any mass grave here.
Only two of the children died of measles-related complications and the others died of natural causes.
The only problem was that when we buried the first two, we woke up as early as 5 AM to dig the graves and buried them that morning.
</blockquote>
Police officers and officials from the Ministry of Health and Child Care, as well as Social Welfare representatives, visited the Maveto homestead following rumours of the existence of mass graves.
Maveto said the officials only found “the four graves and not the mass graves people are talking about”.
His children ran away, when they saw nurses, fearing they would be vaccinated against measles, despite showing signs of the disease. Added Maveto:
<blockquote>
All my children don’t go to any clinic. We have our own doctors at church and they are responsible for dealing with any illness.
</blockquote>
His senior wife, Dorcas Mhere, said they can easily treat measles and will not go against their beliefs.
Meanwhile, Sabhuku (village head) Gede said he had also heard the rumours of a mass grave at Maveto’s homestead, but the rumours have not been confirmed. He said:
<blockquote>
Our only issue with Maveto, and many members of the Johanne Marange sect, is their attitude towards health matters.
We have a measles outbreak and all his children contracted the disease because they are not vaccinated and neither have they been taken to the clinic or hospital for treatment.
Now, that schools have opened, his children are back at school and exposing other children to measles.
</blockquote>

Johanne Marange Sect Member Denies Rumours Of Kids' Mass Grave At Homestead

Four children from the same family died of measles within ten days, while six more are bedridden in Nyamayende Village of Honde Valley as Johane Marange Apostolic Church devotees resist immunisation.
A whistleblower in the area who contacted The Manica Post said police and health officials were informed of the developments. Said the whistleblower:
<blockquote>
We have a serious challenge of measles in Honde Valley near Nyamayende Primary School, particularly in the Makoko family. They are members of the Johane Marange Church.
One child died of measles on Wednesday, June 23. Two more children died on Saturday, June 25. At the same time, there are five more children suffering from measles.
We request for police and the Ministry of Health and Child Care’s urgent assistance, otherwise all those bedridden will die.
</blockquote>
The whistleblower later sent another message to the publication saying another child from the same family had died. Reads the message:
<blockquote>
Good evening Sir. Another child from the same Makoko family has died, taking the number to four within one-and-a-half weeks.
Six members of the same family are now suffering from the same disease. More cases are being reported in the same area.
Please, is there no other means or option for the team to get there? It is now a disaster there.
</blockquote>
Mutasa District Medical Officer (DMO), Dr Cephas Fonte confirmed receiving reports of Honde Valley apostolic devotees resisting vaccination citing their religious beliefs.
Although he could not deny the death of the four children, Dr Fonte only confirmed the death of two children from the same family. He said:
<blockquote>
We managed to talk to Chief Mutasa and the Civil Protection Unit. There were a number of measles cases noted where children clearly showed signs of measles, but their families were denying them access to medical care.
We also managed to send a team on the ground for vaccination. While we cannot deny the figures stated by the whistleblower, we have confirmed that a 14-year-old died on June 23 while a two-year-old died on June 25.
We also gathered that more children from the same family are still bedridden and that the family is denying them medical care. We also understand that there are more cases of measles in the area.
</blockquote>
He said villagers in the Nyamayende area have always been problematic and health officials have decided to find a diplomatic way of approaching them. Said the Mutasa DMO:
<blockquote>
We have always had problems with the Nyamayende area because of the people’s religious beliefs that do not allow them to seek medical attention.
This time around we are trying more diplomatic means of reaching out to them. We do not want to be confrontational in our approach.
At times we have witnessed cases of children running away from schools whenever we go there for vaccination programmes.
It is not new. The last time we went there for a different vaccination programme, we only got nine children from the whole school.

Measles Wipes Out Four Siblings As Johane Marange Devotees Resist Immunisation

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been criticised for encouraging school children to learn to manufacture guns and bombs.
During a private visit to St Noah Taguta College in Marange, Manicaland over the weekend, Mnangagwa urged school children to learn computers so that they will be able to manufacture weapons of war.
His remarks were captured on camera by the state broadcaster, ZBC, in a video that has since gone viral. Said Mnangagwa:
<blockquote>
Study hard because among you we want engineers who can manufacture guns and also helicopters and fighter jets to bomb our enemies.
</blockquote>

Obert Masaraure, president of the Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) said Mnangagwa’s comments encourage violence among learners. He said:
<blockquote>
The mind of Emmerson Mnangagwa is poisoned with the love of power.
His focus is purely on power retention with no interest in delivering services.
The coup leader is obviously scared that some people elsewhere are plotting to violently topple him because is aware that a coup begets a coup.
We remind the Head of state to focus on service delivery and get performance legitimacy on his profile.
</blockquote>
Masaraure claimed that teachers are educating people to build a prosperous Zimbabwe not to make guns to fight imaginary enemies.
Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition chairperson, Peter Mutasa, said there was nothing new about Mnangagwa’s utterances. Mutasa said:
<blockquote>
There is nothing new about this. We know our rulers adore violence and are ready to use it to sustain their power.
It was however inappropriate for the President to use such examples with the kids. 
We live in a difficult and violent world, and all of us must be careful not to encourage violence to kids.
However, we believe we have important issues that should not be lost in the midst of this circus.
The economy is imploding, many citizens are thrust into abject poverty and the democratic space is closing.
I think the ruling elites deliberately create these sideshows to distract us from questioning them on important matters.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa came to power in November 2017 after the military placed then-president, Robert Mugabe under house arrest.
Mugabe was forced to resign as Parliament commenced impeachment proceedings against him.
The coup was widely supported by Zimbabweans, including opposition politicians who thought they would be given positions in a new coalition government.

Mnangagwa Criticised For Encouraging Schoolchildren To Learn To Make Bombs, Guns

The United Nations in Zimbabwe has issued a statement <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/07/28/a-14-year-old-girl-dies-giving-birth-at-shrine/">on the death of Memory Machaya, a 14-year-old pregnant girl, during childbirth</a> at a church shrine in Marange, Manicaland. Memory reportedly died around 9 AM on 15 July and was secretly buried two hours later. Reports suggest that Memory, the last born child in a family of six, <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/08/06/family-of-girl-14-who-died-during-childbirth-offers-the-husband-her-sister-9-as-a-replacement/">was forced out of school while doing Form One in Mhondoro to get married to Momberume.</a> She died while giving birth to her firstborn baby boy who is said to be in the custody of his father. Pindula News present the statement by the UN.
<blockquote>
<h2>UNITED NATIONS ZIMBABWE </h2>
<h2>United Nations Statement on the death of Memory Machaya, a 14-year-old pregnant adolescent girl during childbirth</h2>

The United Nations in Zimbabwe notes with deep concern and condemns strongly the surrounding circumstances leading to the untimely death of 14-year-old Memory Machaya from Marange, who died while giving birth at an apostolic sect shrine. 
Sadly, disturbing reports of the sexual violation of under-aged girls, including early forced child marriages continue to surface and indeed this is another sad case. A situation where one out of three girls in Zimbabwe will be married before the age of 18 years is also not acceptable. 
The current trend of unresolved cases of violence against women and girls in Zimbabwe, including marriages of minors cannot continue with impunity. All forms of violence and early forced marriages severely affect the mental and physical health of girls and is a violation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child which Zimbabwe is a signatory. The United Nations welcomes the investigations announced by the Zimbabwe Republic Police and the Zimbabwe Gender Commission into the death of Memory Machaya and look forward to the perpetrators being brought to justice. 
Efforts by the Government, civil society and faith-based organizations and development partners, including the Spotlight Initiative, a partnership between the UN and the European Union must be strengthened to end violence against women and girls. We call on the Government of Zimbabwe to fast track the adoption of the Marriage Bill, which recognizes child marriage as a crime and to intensify the roll out the National Action Plan on Ending Child Marriage.

United Nations Speaks On Death Of Memory A 14-year-old Pregnant Girl

An elderly Marange woman stripped in front of his son in a bid to stop him from bashing his wife.
Gogo Violet Zambuko told Mutare magistrate, Xavier Chipato, that her son, Charles Chidewu attacks anyone who dares to intervene whenever he has issues with his wife (name not disclosed).
Gogo Zambuko was applying for a peace order against Chidewu. Chipato granted the peace order in Gogo Zambuko’s favour.
Chipato also advised Chidewu to move out of the family house and find alternative accommodation for his family.
Gogo Zambuko said she regretted offering her son residence at her homestead as he has violent and has become a thorn in her flesh.
She also accused Chidewu of attempting to burn down her house during a fate of rage. Said Gogo Zambuko:
<blockquote>After having a misunderstanding with his wife, he closed all the doors and windows and opened the valve of a gas cylinder. I stopped him as he was about to light up a matchstick.</blockquote>
In his defence, Chidewu said he had no intentions of burning the house but was trying to stop her mother from stripping in his presence. He said:
<blockquote>I was having a misunderstanding with my wife and my mother came into our bedroom and stripped naked in our presence.
I opened the gas valve and threatened her with death in a bid to stop her from stripping for us.
I don’t understand how taking off her clothes was supposed to bring peace to our house.</blockquote>

Marange Woman Strips To Restrain Son From Bashing Wife

A woman from Marange, Manicaland Province, said that she was dumped by her husband for refusing to sell one of their triplets while in South Africa last year.
Olinda Maposa (30), from Muchabaiwa village in Marange, delivered triplets, but her husband was not pleased.
Maposa’s husband, Obey Mucheki divorced her after she refused to sell one of the triplets because all the babies were girls.
She was left to fend for the triplets as well as their 11-year old child, Ruvimbo, on her own. She narrated:
<blockquote>I gave birth to my three children that are Rukudzo, Rujeko and Runako, but my husband, Obey Mucheki, proposed to sell one girl in protest that all the children are girls.
When I shot down the proposal, he then gave me five days to vacate our home, threatening to kill me or the baby.</blockquote>
Maposa received some assistance from the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Monica Mutsvangwa when she attended the ZANU PF Women’s League inter-district meeting in Marange this Saturday. She said:
<blockquote>After having faced a lot of challenges since I gave birth to my triplets, I am happy that I got help from Mai Mutsvangwa. I am highly delighted as I was facing difficulties in taking care of the three girls.</blockquote>
Mutsvangwa pledged to assist Maposa with groceries and basic provisions every month. Said Mutsvangwa:
<blockquote>Mai Maposa gave birth in South Africa. We are going to assist her. The woman came with her children all the way from South Africa after she was not well-received by her husband for giving birth to triplets.
As a women’s league, we should bring to the fore such need cases. As the local senator, I will give the family food every month.
We will look for sponsors, even approaching the First Lady so that the three girls get support and are able to go to school.</blockquote>

Woman Divorced For Giving Birth To Triplets

A Marange woman dragged her neighbours to the Mutare Civil Courts applying for peace and protection orders following strange occurrences at her house.
The complainant, Gogo Mariah Tirinda accusing her neighbours, Wonder and John Mateya of throwing stones at her house every night.
Gogo Tirinda believes that the siblings are the ones throwing stones as she bought the house from their late father.
Speaking during their appearance before Mutare Magistrate, Notebulgah Muchineripi recently, Gogo Chirinda said:
<blockquote>I don’t really know where the stones are coming from, but I believe these boys are the ones disturbing my peace by throwing them at my house. These stones are being thrown every night and I am living in fear.
I hardly sleep and I am asking the courts to intervene and bar them from disturbing my peace.
I don’t owe them anything, but I know they are bitter. They are doing everything possible to disturb my peace.
The two are bitter that I now occupy a house that belonged to their parents. They are tormenting me.</blockquote>
However, the Mateya siblings denied ever disturbing Gogo Tirinda’s peace, describing her as confused. They said:
<blockquote>She should do thorough investigations, dig deeper and ascertain where the stones are coming from.
We don’t know where this is coming from and we don’t know why, out of everyone, she chose to blame us for being behind the mysterious stones.
Something she is not disclosing to the court could be haunting her. We are not concerned that she took over our parents’ stand as the transaction was done when we were very young.
We have nothing to do with it.</blockquote>
Magistrate Muchineripi granted the protection order in Gogo Tirinda’s favour and told the siblings to desist from disturbing her peace.

Stones Rain On Granny's House Every Night

Residents of the diamond-rich Marange area in Manicaland on Monday protested against the plunder of diamonds from the area, poor living conditions and lack of freedom of movement among other issues. The protest was organised by the Centre For Natural Resource Government and was held at Bravo 1 Gate in the Chiadzwa area.
The residents argued that the proceeds from the diamonds are benefiting only a few elite people while they live in deplorable conditions. The villagers want the government to give them a fair share of the proceeds from the diamond sales in order to develop their area which they say is severely underdeveloped. The Marange community also said that despite the fact that the diamonds were being exploited from their area, their children were being discriminated against and sidelined when it comes to employment. They claimed that people from the area are not being considered even for non-skilled jobs which did not require any academic qualifications.
They also alleged that they do not have freedom of movement as the area where they are staying has been declared a protected area and as a result the local police frequently demand national identification cards. Only people who have national identification cards with the suffix 75, which indicates the Marange district are allowed in the area. All visitors are required to be reported to the police.
However, armed soldiers and armed police who had dogs prevented the protestors from marching. The police fired warning shots into the air before firing tear gas canisters in order to disperse the protestors. The police argued that the protest had not been cleared under the Public Order Security Act (POSA). According to reports, the police has previously cleared the protest verbally before making an about turn when it came tto the written clearance.
