Zimbabwe Police Release Names Of Six Victims In Lilian Mine Incident

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.”

Sithembiso Nyoni, a legislator for Nkayi North has urged traditional leaders in Matabeleland North province to engage President Emmerson Mnangagwa to quicken the construction of the 158km Bulawayo-Nkayi Road.
Speaking during a virtual debate hosted by the Nkayi Community Parliament, Nyoni who is also Zimbabwe’s Women Affairs, Community and Small and Medium Enterprises Development Minister, expressed her concern over the lack of progress made in rehabilitating the road, which has been under construction since 1993.
Nyoni stated that she had met with Chief Mtshane Khumalo, the deputy president of the Chiefs Council, to discuss the matter and requested that traditional leaders engage with the President to understand the reasons for the delay in completing the project. <a href="https://newsday.co.zw/southerneye/local/article/200014540/mp-ropes-in-chiefs-in-road-rehab-campaign">Southern Eye</a> cites her as saying:
<blockquote>
The Nkayi-Bulawayo Road is troubling us all. It needs us all to see what we can do about it. I remember the President at some point saying he wanted that Nkayi-Bulawayo Road to be a priority, then we were let down by the contractors.
I had to sit down with the chiefs. I sat down with (Chiefs Council deputy president) Chief Mtshane Khumalo.
I said to him, chiefs are responsible for the development of the whole country. Nkayi- Bulawayo Road is a problem for us. It passes through your chiefdom and in other chiefdoms in Nkayi. So we request that as chiefs, you even go to the President to understand what is holding the project.
What the community should know is that we are all concerned about the project and all efforts are being made for the project to be a success.
</blockquote>
In March 2023, work resumed on the road after the Government disbursed funds for the project. The rehabilitation of the road is part of the Government’s five-year economic master plan, the National Development Strategy, which aims to develop sound road infrastructure.
The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Development has allocated a budget for the rehabilitation of 15km of the road annually, and more than 40km has been covered so far, according to State-run media. The road’s completion will facilitate transportation and trade between Bubi, Nkayi, and Kwekwe districts, and is viewed as an essential enabler towards achieving the set targets under the National Development Strategy.

MP Urges Traditional Leaders To Engage Mnangagwa To Quicken Road Construction

A 33-year-old man from Maraposa Plot in Matabeleland North province was arrested and taken to court for having sexual intercourse with his grade 7 lover aged 15. 
The court heard that Nqobani Ndlovu was caught during a bush sex romp with his teenage lover who is a Grade Seven pupil at one of the schools from the area, according to <a href="https://www.bmetro.co.zw/man-33-caught-in-bush-sex-with-grade-7-pupil/">B-Metro</a>.
<h2>What Happened:</h2>
It is alleged that on 26 September at around 4 pm Ndlovu met the victim while on her way from school and proposed love to her and she accepted his proposal.
It is reported that afterwards, the two parties parted ways as they proceeded to their respective homes.
It is alleged that the following day at around 3 pm, the victim on her way from school met Ndlovu, who reportedly got hold of her hand and asked to have sex with her and agreed.
Without wasting time, Ndlovu reportedly took the girl to a nearby bush and they had sex.
While in the act, Ndlovu was spotted by a passerby who then raised the alarm.
Seeing that they had been seen the two lovers fled from the scene but the passerby who had positively identified the girl went and notified her parents.
When she was confronted by her parents, the girl confessed that she was in love with Ndlovu and that they were caught having sex in the bush.
A report was made to the police leading to Ndlovu’s arrest and subsequent appearance in court.
Ndlovu was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody until October 28.

33-year-old Man Caught While Raping Grade 7 Pupil

A total of 51 primary schools in Matabeleland North recorded a zero per cent pass rate in the 2021 Grade Seven public examinations. 
The number was a slight improvement from 2020 when a total of 85 schools in the province recorded a zero per cent pass rate. 
According to the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education grading, if a pupil obtains seven units and above per subject, it is considered a failure, while six units and below is considered a pass. 
The statistics showed that 20 of the schools that recorded a zero per cent pass rate were satellite while 31 were registered schools.
According to the statistics, the largest number of schools that performed dismally last year were in Bubi where 14 schools recorded zero per cent pass rates.
The second most affected district was Lupane with 13 schools obtaining zero per cent pass rate (12 registered and one satellite).
The figures showed that Binga, which has traditionally performed poorly over the years, had the least number of schools with zero per cent pass rates; only one. 
In terms of overall pass rate, the province recorded 38.48 per cent based on units and 22.36 per cent based on subjects. 
The pass rate was below the national figure of 41.3 per cent announced by the Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council (ZIMSEC) when results were released last month. 
According to ZIMSEC, the total number of candidates who sat for the 2021 Grade 7 examinations was 325 573, which was a 0.6 per cent decrease from the 2020 entry of 327 559. 
Director of Advocacy and Communication in the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education Mr Taungana Ndoro confirmed the Matabeleland North Grade seven results trend. 
He said while the figures might indicate a worrying trend, the Government was encouraged by the improve in pass rate in the province and expected even better performance as issues that had been affecting schooling in the province are addressed. 
The main challenge, according to experts, has been the human capital challenge. Most schools have a shortage of teachers as they shun them due to poor infrastructure. 
At some schools, the few teachers are forced to teach many grades due to staff shortage.

Nkayi is reportedly on the brink of starvation as social welfare is failing to transport food to the area due to bad roads, CITE reports.
This was revealed at a Matabeleland North COVID-19 Provincial Taskforce meeting where GMB Regional manager Ms Podiso Mafa said:
<blockquote>…We have a serious challenge with Nkayi because most of our transporters are reluctant to ply that route because of the bad state of roads. Very, very few transporters want to go to Nkayi because of the terrain honourable minister. I think something has to be done or else we will fail to move that grain. Stocks are there in Bulawayo depot but we are failing to get transporters who are willing to go to Nkayi.</blockquote>
CITE spoke to Matabeleland Minister Richard Moyo who said they had engaged the transport ministry to try and get the road graded to allow transporters to access Nkayi and deliver maize.
Villagers in Nkayi, on the other hand, said they usually contribute money to get the food to Nkayi as social welfare gives the same excuse every year that transporters are refusing to go to Nkayi because of the bad roads.

Teacher shortage in Matabeleland North province is said be not as severe as was initially reported.
Education officials say that 300 teachers were recently deployed in the province to alleviate the shortage of educators.
Matabeleland North Provincial Education Director, Mr Jabulani Aggry Mpofu revealed that even though 300 teachers have been employed, ECD and A Level classes still need attention. He said:
<blockquote>The situation is not very bad in his area as 300 more teachers had been recently engaged. However, the infants and Advance Level categories need more attention.</blockquote>
Mpofu said that the new curriculum has exacerbated the challenge as more specialised teachers are needed.
Advanced Level subjects such as Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology have a shortage of teachers. The same applies to practical subjects such as Agriculture and Computer Science.

Mat North Nominates Chamisa For President

Some schools in Matabeleland North Province are yet to receive their Zimsec results almost a week after the results were released. Initially, the results for the whole province were reported to have gone missing. However, some of the results were later tracked to Manicaland and are now being transported back to Matabeleland. According to a school head who spoke to the Sunday News, results are still missing for schools which start with any letter from S onwards. Said the head.
<blockquote>Initially, it was the entire province but they managed to trace some of the results to Manicaland and brought them back to the province. However, not all the results were recovered, as most schools starting with the letter S still have not received the results.
We have tried to make enquiries with Harare but we were just told to be patient as they are trying to trace them, what is more, painful is that schools have closed but nothing seems to be coming up.</blockquote>
Zimsec spokesperson Ms Nicky Dlamini said:
<blockquote>As you know we are closed on weekends and you are talking about something which is currently happening, I will have to call the offices and find out what really is happening. Can you please contact me later in the day I might know what is really happening.</blockquote>
