President Robert Mugabe has lured most of Zimbabwe's
Christian churches into
a new political alliance, side-lining prominent
church critics.
The new line-up of Christian leaders beside Mr Mugabe
will be in evidence on
Sunday, when he leads a national day of prayer at the
Harare showgrounds.
According to Mr Mugabe's critics, he has managed the
same coup with his
church critics as he achieved with the opposition Movement
for Democratic
Change (MDC), which has split into two impotent rival
factions.
Mr Mugabe's triumph with the largely evangelical Christian
community comes a
week before he is due to meet the UN secretary-general,
Kofi Annan, in the
Gambia for talks on the future of his troubled
nation.
Mr Mugabe's strongest Christian critic, the Catholic Archbishop
of Bulawayo,
Pius Ncube, has accused some churchmen of being "hypocrites".
He said:
"These priests call themselves Christians but align themselves with
the evil
that Mugabe does. I am in favour of a boycott of this prayer
service."
John Makumbe, a political scientist at the University of
Zimbabwe, said:
"This is a coup for Mugabe. He has busted the church
leadership into two,
just as he busted the opposition, the
MDC.
"Mugabe will use anything, including priests, to try to clean
himself of his
own filth."
Mr Makumbe said the national day of prayer
was designed to give the
impression that some churches were "trying to do
something" to resolve the
crisis. "Mugabe is having a laugh at their
expense," he added.
Sunday's non-denominational prayer day will be part
of a massive show of
Christian reconciliation. The church groups that will
attend held four hours
of talks with Mr Mugabe on May 25, and pledged
further co-operation to help
end Zimbabwe's economic crisis and
isolation.
Most of the funds for the non-denominational prayer day,
including buses to
ferry the huge crowds, will be provided by the government
and the ruling
Zanu PF party.
Bishop Trevor Manhanga, a member of a
three-man pro-democracy group, the
Ecumenical Peace Initiative, said
yesterday that he would go to the Sunday
meeting.
The group used to
be seen as an anti-Mugabe force. He defended his decision
to meet Mr Mugabe
and attend the day of prayer.
"I represent 130 church denominations and
they all want me to help find a
solution," Bishop Manhanga said. "We were
invited to meet the president, so
we went.
"This is not cosying up to
the government. We are trying to have an honest
interaction looking for a
solution."
Bishop Nolbert Kunonga, the head of Zimbabwe's largest
Anglican diocese, is
the most prominent mainstream churchman to support Mr
Mugabe.
He has been rewarded with what was a productive white-owned farm
on the
outskirts of Harare. The property is now derelict.

Fuel prices in Zimbabwe have more than doubled in
recent days, from some
Z$300,000 to around Z$600,000 a liter, local reports
said, with more acute
shortages of diesel and gasoline driving this latest
spike in prices.
Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce President Luxon
Zembe said businesses
will have little choice but to raise prices to offset
higher operating
costs, which could send the annual inflation rate up
another 100 points from
almost 1,200% in May.
Reporter Patience
Rusere of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe asked Zembe about
the wider impact of
soaring fuel prices on businesses and consumers.

Only Chinese entrepreneurs and Robert
Mugabe, president, are profiting from
the complete economic and moral
collapse of once proud and prosperous
Zimbabwe. The Chinese will be allowed
to exploit the country's mineral
wealth and build thermal power plants to
turn local coal into electric
power. The Chinese are also helping the
Zimbabwean army rebuild its
barracks. Meanwhile, Mr Mugabe is pocketing
illicit gains and constructing
yet another large mansion. His obsessive
tyranny is not yet near an end. The
long-suffering people of Zimbabwe lack
essential foodstuffs, queue for what
little there is in shops or at petrol
stations and are attacked when they
complain.
Last month, 170 women
and children peacefully protested against rising
school fees - up 1,000 per
cent in a year - and were hustled off to jail.
School fees are now about
Z$30m ($298) a term while average monthly wages
for domestic workers remain
Z$3m. Industrial wages (when there are jobs)
average about Z$10m a month. So
it is hard to see how children, already
hungry, can afford to attend
school.
About 80 per cent of Zimbabweans live below the poverty line.
Bread costs
Z$100,900 a loaf, when available. With inflation at more than
1,000 per cent
a year (the worst in the world), with Zimbabwe's currency
almost worthless
and unemployment levels at about 80 per cent, it is no
wonder that
Zimbabweans flee in their millions to South Africa and Botswana.
The
country's average gross domestic product has gone backwards by about 40
per
cent in six years. The Zimbabwean standard of living in constant dollars
has
been reduced to 1953 levels. Because of the government's inattention to
the
scourge of HIV/Aids, Zimbabwe now boasts the lowest life expectancies in
the
world - 34 for women and 37 for men.
In spite of this chaos, the
government has threatened to nationalise the
gold, platinum, nickel, zinc
and ferrochrome mines on which the country's
depleted economy depends (and
which the Chinese will now inherit). Unlike
Bolivia's social agenda, Mr
Mugabe's motive is regime maintenance.
Transparency International, the
anti-corruption watchdog, says Zimbabwe is
one of the 10 most corrupt places
on earth. Greed and patronage demand more
and more. As the state becomes
morally outrageous, society breaks down and
the overriding drive becomes
personal security and advancement at any cost.
Tyrannies flail about,
especially when their economies have hit bottom. Last
month, Mr Mugabe's men
continued to raze the shanties and stalls of presumed
urban opponents,
driving thousands back into rural areas. Mr Mugabe also had
the audacity to
invite the 4,000 white farmers dispossessed from 2000 to
2005 back to
Zimbabwe to plead for a chance to farm again. But they would
not necessarily
be permitted to regain their confiscated farms; leases would
be granted by a
government desperate to restore an economy that it itself
trashed.
Distrustful white farmers are staying put in Australia, Mozambique,
Zambia
and Nigeria.
The nation's economic disarray is matched by its political
bankruptcy.
European and other observers report that Mr Mugabe and his
ruling Zimbabwean
African National Union-Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF) stole the
2000 and 2005
parliamentary elections and rigged the presidential poll in
2002, supposedly
won by Mr Mugabe against Morgan Tsvangirai, the candidate
of the opposition
Movement for Democratic Change.
Last month, Mr
Mugabe announced that he would stay on as president to 2010,
two years
beyond the expiration of his six-year term in 2008. Such flouting
of the
country's constitution throws sand in the wheels of South African
president
Thabo Mbeki's engine of "quiet diplomacy". This was intended to
persuade Mr
Mugabe, 82, to retire gracefully from politics.
Now that Mr Mbeki's
misguided entreaties have been rebuffed again, and that
China's £700m
($1.3bn) loan has seemingly rescued Mr Mugabe from imminent
economic
catastrophe, he and his associates can continue to loot state
coffers and
abuse their countrymen while the rest of the world hardly
notices. Even
Africa and the African Union look the other way. Europe and
the US have
largely subcontracted the Zimbabwe problem to Mr Mbeki.
Mr Mugabe
continues to preside by intimidation and terror. Until his
security forces
align themselves with the opposition, no rose revolution in
Zimbabwe is
possible without concerted action from Africa and South
Africa.

United Nations
Secretary-General Kofi Annan and South African
President Thabo Mbeki will
push a UN initiative to end the long-running
crisis in Zimbabwe next week
when they meet President Robert Mugabe on the
sidelines of the African Union
summit in Gambia.
Annan's spokesperson, Yves Sorokobi, confirmed
from New York on
Tuesday that Annan would be meeting Mugabe on the sidelines
of the AU summit
in Banjul as part of Annan's efforts to help resolve the
situation in
Zimbabwe.
However, Sorokobi said he did not know
whether Mbeki would be part of
the meeting between Mugabe and
Annan.
Mbeki's spokesperson, Murphy Morobe, said he did not have
any
information about a Mbeki/Mugabe meeting or a Mugabe/Mbeki/Annan
meeting.
Government sources in Harare said they
believed Mugabe would meet
Mbeki and Annan either separately or together as
part of a renewed push to
get Mugabe to introduce a package of political and
economic reforms.
After meeting British Prime Minister Tony Blair
in London two weeks
ago, Mbeki and Blair backed an intervention by Annan in
Harare as the best
way forward in finding a hitherto elusive solution to end
a crisis which has
seemingly reached a meltdown point with 1 200 percent
inflation, continuous
repression of government critics and widespread
poverty.
But Mugabe immediately rebuffed the two leaders with his
spokesperson,
George Charamba, saying Zimbabwe was not a UN issue and Annan
was no longer
welcome to visit Harare.
South African
Intelligence Minister Ronnie Kasrils surreptitiously
visited Harare
recently, allegedly at Mbeki's behest to persuade Mugabe not
to scupper a UN
initiative on Zimbabwe and to pave way for a meeting between
the two
leaders.
Sorokobi said Annan remained "acutely concerned" with the
situation in
Zimbabwe, particularly its humanitarian implications and would
do all he
could to help the people of Zimbabwe.
He said Annan
had repeatedly reminded the international community not
to forget Zimbabwe
and to help its people.
He, however, said it would be premature to
speculate on the details of
the meeting between Mugabe and
Annan.
"The secretary-general will make an announcement if he feels
he has
anything to tell the world about his meetings with Mugabe. For now it
is not
helpful to speculate," said Sorokobi.
International
media reports have speculated that Annan wants to
approach Mugabe armed with
a proposal to mobilise international help to
avert imminent meltdown in
Zimbabwe in exchange of a date for Mugabe's
departure from
power.
However, an influential diplomat close to the UN said that
at this
stage Annan's initiative had nothing to do with asking for Mugabe's
departure from power.
The diplomat said Annan wanted to instead
encourage Mugabe to
institute a number of reforms on governance and rule of
law recommended by
his envoy, Annan Tibaijuka.
Annan knew too
well that any efforts to mobilise economic aid were
futile unless there was
real discernible progress in terms of implementing
reforms, the diplomat
said.
He also knew too well that demanding Mugabe's departure from
power was
the best way of killing any meaningful intervention.
Tibaijuka, who is head of UN Habitat, was deployed to Harare to
investigate
last year's Operation Murambatsvina (Drive Out Trash) which she
later
concluded had left close to a million people homeless and which she
condemned as a possible violation of international law.
Zimbabwe's main opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, is said to be
considering travelling to Banjul to lobby Annan and other African leaders in
his battle against Mugabe.
No comment could be obtained from
Tsvangirai, who is at his rural home
burying his 78-year-old father who died
after a short illness on Monday.

THE Industrial
Development Corporation (IDC) is close to finalising an
agreement with a
consortium of Chinese investors to kickstart the Lupane Gas
project.
IDC general manager Mr Mike Ndudzo yesterday confirmed that
talks were at an
advanced stage to determine the funding requirements of the
project, whose
cost is estimated at US$6 million.
"Some investors are
willing to fund the Lupgas project," he told Business
Chronicle yesterday
but said it was too early to divulge the finer details.
Mr Ndudzo was
part of the business delegation led by Vice President Joice
Mujuru, which
toured China last week to explore business opportunities.
The IDC is the
parent company of the Lupane Gas Company.
Mr Ndudzo said IDC had
identified strategic investors for a joint venture in
Lupgas, but declined
to name them.
However, sources close to the talks said the investors were
from China and
would acquire a significant stake in the project while the
IDC and local
companies will hold the controlling stake.
He said
apart from the Chinese, investors from Iran, Indonesia, and Japan
had also
expressed interest in the project but were still to make an offer.
"Other
potential foreign investors, also from Asia, are still examining the
viability of the project before committing themselves," said the
official.
The project is expected to extract an estimated 665 000
cubic metres of
methane gas deposits that are lying idle near the
Matabeleland North
capital.
Some of the local firms in the project
are the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC),
TA Holdings Limited, Hwange Colliery
Company Limited, Chemplex Holdings, and
Shangani
Exploration.
Presently the project requires foreign currency to import
machinery for
geological and exploration work.

In the arid northeast corner of Zimbabwe,
Oxfam America comes through for
farmers in crisis.
In September 2005,
Ransam Mariga took a drive through Mudzi, an arid zone
spotted with
sun-baked rocky cliffs in the northeastern region of Zimbabwe.
What he saw
really worried him.
September is the end of winter in Zimbabwe. After
four years of erratic
rains and low yields, many farmers were desperate as
they headed into
another growing season. Most had no money to buy seeds,
fuel, or
fertilizer--or if they did these essential farming supplies were
simply not
available due to the economic crisis gripping
Zimbabwe.
Many families in Mudzi were caring for people living with HIV
and AIDS,
which is infecting more than 20 percent of Zimbabwe's population.
This took
away the time they needed to travel in search of seeds to plant
and grow
corn.
"For the last five years, few had been able to produce
a crop," Mariga said.
"People were surviving on wild fruits, and they did
not have access to any
grains or other sources of food."
Mariga,
Oxfam America's humanitarian program officer, had no time to waste.
He
immediately started working with representatives from a local development
organization called Single Parents and Widows Support Network, carrying out
a rapid assessment of the most vulnerable families. Coordinating with
special committees comprised of local volunteers, Oxfam and Single Parents
surveyed the population in Mudzi and identified 5,000 families that needed
help the most.
Restarting Agriculture
"Our criteria
prioritized families with chronically ill family members,"
Mariga said,
"Households taking care of more than two or three orphans,
women-headed
households, child-headed households, and those with older
grandparents
taking care of the young."
"Mudzi is a dry area of Zimbabwe," Mariga
explained on a visit the following
May. "It only gets between 300 and 350
millimeters (1.2 to 1.5 inches) of
rain during the growing season. It's not
ideal for agriculture and there are
a lot of people living here who have to
scrounge for a living, and grow what
crops they can."
In consultation
with farmers, Oxfam and Single Parents devised an
agricultural support
program that would get families the seeds they needed
to plant before the
rains started in November. The priority was on
drought-resistant small
grains like sorghum, as well as corn, pumpkins, and
groundnuts
(peanuts).
It was a race against time: Oxfam America and Single Parents
procured the
seeds and distributed them to the 5,000 project participants
just in time
for the rains. Suddenly, the most vulnerable families had a
glimmer of hope.
"The seed package was really well received by the
farmers," Mariga said.
"They had something to grow, they would not have to
scrounge for money to
buy these inputs, and they could use their money for
school fees, and health
care for those who are chronically ill."
By
the middle of April, the results were clear: farmers grew substantially
more
than in previous years, and would have more food to eat in the coming
winter. "Our final round of monitoring indicated that about 40 percent of
the participants harvested a crop that would sustain them until December,"
Mariga said. "Another 20 percent will have food until the next harvest in
May 2007. This is a milestone for an area that has not been able to produce
much in the way of crops for the last four to five years.it is a real
achievement."
Bridget Masarauru, the program director for Single
Parents, said that the
agriculture program is making a big difference for
the people they work with
in Mudzi. In the previous years of low rainfall,
Masarauru said it was
common to see people faint during community meetings
as the lack of food
caught up with them. "People can now confidently say
that they can have two
or three meals a day, at least during the rainy
season," Masarauru said.
"This is something really tangible we can
do."
David Kanjere, the elected councilor for Masahwa ward in Mudzi, was
enthusiastic about the seed program. On a late-May tour of Masahwa, the
second-largest ward in Mudzi with more than 24,000 people, Kanjere said this
year's harvest was significantly larger thanks to the seeds and a bit of
rain. "People started harvesting last month, and they are still harvesting
now. Right now, people's lives are changing with this yield."
Oxfam
and Single Parents are now turning their attention to helping farmers
in
Mudzi to store their seeds for the next season, and create ways for them
to
sell or exchange seeds and make them more widely available to other
farmers.
They will also look at ways to help the minority of participants
who had
trouble maximizing the potential of their seed basket in the
2005-2006
growing season.

THE Consumer Council of Zimbabwe (CCZ) has expressed
concern over the huge
price increases effected by retailers on most basic
commodities over the
past few weeks.
CCZ executive director Mrs
Rosemary Siyachitema told New Ziana that some of
the price increases were
unjustified.
"Prices have been going up over the last eight months but
because of recent
fuel price increases, there has been a notable increase in
the price of
various commodities," Mrs Siyachitema said.
"Some
unscrupulous retailers have taken advantage of the situation to
exploit
consumers through hiking prices."
While appreciating the need for prices
to rise in an inflationary
environment such as the one prevailing in the
country, Mrs Siyachitema said
such increases, however, needed
justification.
Commodities whose prices have shot up with significant
margins include
washing soap and powders, bath soap, bread, margarine and
fresh milk.
She called for a review of fines for overcharging, arguing
the present fines
were too low to deter would-be offenders.
The
maximum fine for offences ranging from hoarding to overpricing is $1
million.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao was expected Wednesday in
South Africa for a
state visit and talks with President Thabo Mbeki. He
would thus be the
second top Chinese official to bypass Harare in recent
months in spite of
the ever-closer commercial relations between the states:
President Hu Jintao
also skipped Zimbabwe earlier this year when he visited
three African
nations.
Wen's tour of seven African nations has
already taken him to Egypt, Ghana
and the Republic of the Congo. He also has
stops scheduled in Tanzania and
Uganda.
Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokesman Liu Jianchao said Wen's tour is important
to Beijing's diplomacy
in Africa, leading some experts to see the absence of
a Harare stop as a
deliberate omission by Beijing to deflect Western
criticism for its
cultivation of relations with governments which the United
States and other
leading Western nations have taken to task over their human
rights
records.
The U.S. Congressional Research Service said China has sold arms
to African
nations including Sudan, Equatorial Guinea, Tanzania, Burundi,
Ethiopia and
Eritrea, as well as to Zimbabwe. Diplomatically isolated in the
West, Harare
has sought the friendship of China under its "Look East"
policy, which
according to official reports in Harare was much advanced by
Vice President
Joyce Mujuru's just-ended visit to Beijing.
On a
related front, the European Commission came under pressure this week
from
delegates to its ACP-EU forum for relations with developing African,
Caribbean and Pacific nations, who urged Europe to pressure China to refrain
from doing business with countries that have been identified as chronic
human rights offenders.
For perspective, reporter Blessing Zulu of
VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe spoke
with senior researcher Sydney Masamvu of
the International Crisis Group.
Zimbabwean opposition member Nelson Chamisa

The Mercury
China has already
landed on our shores and it will be interesting to see how
the cultures
become assimilated and modified
June 21, 2006 Edition 1
A
friend recently returned from a visit to China and raved about the amazing
country and its people. His praise was endless for their productivity, order
and discipline. He was stopped short, however, when he was rudely reminded
of their abysmal human rights tradition and the atrocities performed in the
name of the great cultural revolution when menticide, the killing of minds,
was followed by genocide, the killing of people.
The Tiananmen Square
massacres and China's past human rights abuses are
difficult to erase from
our memories. In direct contrast to South Africa's
motto of Batho Pele, the
Chinese are infamous for their "sweat shops" that
emphasise production over
people. There is a strange paradox in all of this,
namely that when people
are forcibly socialised into a regimented lifestyle
through their
educational and political institutions they eventually
transform into
obedient robots subservient to authority.
Their collective locus of
control is initially external and gradually over
the years the process
becomes internalised so much so that it is accepted as
being a normal part
of a national identity. Until of course they meet with
another reality.
China is coming to Africa. Perhaps it is more accurate to
say that China has
already landed on our shores and it would be interesting
to see how over the
years cultures become assimilated and modified and
metamorphose into a new
creation.
Would our people emulate the Chinese work ethic or would they
adopt our
tradition of many holidays, short working hours and strong labour
rights?
Balance
Would the Chinese be speaking Zulu or the Zulus
Chinese? Would "chow mien"
become our stable food or pap and beans a new
item on the Chinese menu?
Would Afro - and Indo-Chinese babies fill our
maternity wards brightening
the colours of our rainbow nation? The
possibilities are endless and a far
cry from the days when the Chinese
people were classified "other Asians" and
the Japanese "honorary
whites".
Today as China enters South Africa through the front door,
followed by
India, it is rapidly causing a global shift in the balance of
commercial
power from west to east. In doing so an interesting discourse is
taking
place about the move away from the North-South relations. Instead the
idea
of a South-South co-operation started to influence the field of
development
in the late 1990s.
It was fuelled by the realisation that
poor nations sought appropriate,
low-cost and sustainable solutions to their
problems from other developing
countries, rather than in the rich
north.
For example, if African farmers need boreholes to access water, it
surely
makes more sense to access India's huge pool of expertise than to
send
expensive European water engineers. In this regard, China claims that
its
presence in Africa goes back centuries. Archaeologists digging in the
ruins
of Africa's great medieval trading states at Timbuktu and Great
Zimbabwe
have found fine porcelain and other evidence. Presently China's
booming
commerce with Africa will leave other traces of
evidence.
"Forty African countries have trade agreements with China now,"
said the
deputy director of the West Asian and African Affairs division of
the Trade
Ministry. "We are doing a railway project in Nigeria, a Sheraton
hotel in
Algeria and a mobile telephone network in Tunisia. We are all over
Africa
now."
Beijing's steeply rising involvement with Africa grows
out of China's need
for natural resources, in particular for imported oil of
which 25% now comes
from Africa.
Benefits
But what has Africa
gained in return, other than the availability of cheaper
commodities and
resources? Many workers in the garment industry have lost
their jobs to
Chinese competition while our consumers are enjoying the
benefits of name
brands at affordable prices. After all, South Africans can
kill for that
stupid embroidered tick on the Nike garments. China's interest
in Africa in
general and SA in particular is psychologically comforting
because it comes
at a time when we have become the virtual stepchild of
global
commerce.
As far as the international trade system is concerned, Africa
does not even
feature. Today as China's energy-hungry economy is driving its
ambitious
Africa strategy the question is being asked if this bold
developing world
investment is any less self-indulgent than that of western,
colonial powers
of the immediate past?
Uncomfortable as it may be for
small and medium-size business to have to
compete with a "cheap, cheaper
cheapest culture" of Chinese
entrepreneurship, Chinese involvement in Africa
is pure big business. But
synchronicity is not our forte. While our
politicians amusingly plan trips
to Russia to learn about democratic
parliamentary systems and our health
minister seeks out medical doctors in
Cuba, our business people are heading
in the opposite direction. Hi, ho and
off to China we go!
The momentum has been set and a moving train is
difficult to stop. In the
process, we will see major changes in our trading
practices, our working
habits and our lifestyles.

TZI Limited has
injected at least US$1,2 million to revive Cashel Valley
Estates
horticultural projects in Chimanimani, 120km south-east of Mutare.
About
350 small-scale farmers have been identified and are currently
preparing to
start growing fresh produce on 320 hectares.
"We are developing the 320
hectares of Cashel Valley Estate so that it
becomes an export zone and the
small-scale farmers will grow the fresh
produce on our behalf and we will
sell it on the export market, said a TZI
official.
TZI said the
farmers will enjoy more money in the long run as the vegetables
are
short-term crops that will enable the farmers to have five harvests per
year.
All that remains to be done is the establishment of pack houses
which can
only be put in place after the crops have been
harvested.
The small-scale farmers will be introduced to commercial
horticulture as
part of developing them into direct
exporters.
The cash injection follows the tour by Vice-President Mrs
Joice Mujuru of
the Cashel Valley canning factory that has been lying idle
for a long time.
Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy and plays a
pivotal role as a
foreign currency earner.
Other agro-processing
firms are expected to follow TZI's example by taking
up land on the 1
000-hectare Cashel Valley Estates to boost their
production.

ONE of Zimbabwe's leading business bodies, the
Zimbabwe National Chamber of
Commerce (ZNCC), will this week hold a
conference to discuss power shortages
that have impacted negatively on
industry performance.
While industry's capacity has been severely
constrained as a result of
critical input shortages, power outages and the
introduction of
load-shedding by Zesa Holdings has dealt another blow to the
already
incapacitated sector.
Farmers irrigating the winter crop are
among the host of people that have
criticised unannounced power outages as
impacting on their productivity.
"Critical shortages of electricity and
power outages have become a serious
cause for concern to industry, commerce,
agriculture and mining and indeed
the economy as a whole," the chamber
said.
The conference will also focus on recent developments on the
restructuring
of Zesa Holdings and possible foreign assistance for the power
utility.
The Government announced on June 7 that it was trimming the
current five
companies to four in a bid to make the loss-making power
utility viable,
improve service delivery and increase
accountability.
Presenters at the conference will include Zesa Holdings
management, economic
analysts and other stakeholders.
The issue is
also likely to be among the major topics to be discussed at the
forthcoming
ZNCC and Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries congresses to be
held at the
end of the month and late next month respectively.
Meanwhile, the power
utility said the country has to contend with the power
outages and
load-shedding as it strives to put in place measures to meet the
country
electricity demands.
The Southern African Development Community is
expected to experience power
shortages next year and Zimbabwe, like other
nations in the region, is
putting in place measures to alleviate the
situation.
The country imports about 35 percent of electricity needs from
Snel of the
Democratic Republic of Congo, Eskom and Hydro Cabora Bassa of
South Africa
and Mozambique respectively.

general harassment of journalists, media and other
communications workers."
The coalition also notes that many governments
have either introduced new
legislation, or have intensified the application,
of laws that criminalise
journalistic work and free expression.
Six
countries stand out as leading violators of free expression, including
The
Gambia, which is hosting the AU summit, says NAFEO. In recent months,
numerous local and international press and human rights groups have
criticised the Gambian government for launching a crackdown on the country's
independent press in the wake of an alleged coup attempt last
March.
Since March, four journalists, including staff members of the
bi-weekly
"Independent", have been detained by security officials. Three
have since
been released, including a journalist who was brutally tortured
by security
guards (see: http://www.rsf.org/IMG/jpg/Gambia-torture-2.jpg).
Other
"hot spots" listed by NAFEO included Eritrea, Ethiopia, Swaziland,
Tunisia
and Zimbabwe.
NAFEO has urged Nigerian President Olusegun Obansanjo to
use his influence
within the AU to persuade leaders of these countries of
the need to respect
and protect free expression and freedom of the
press.
NAFEO says it is planning a campaign aimed at pressuring
governments to
repeal laws criminalising press offenses and to free
individuals who have
been detained or imprisoned for exercising their free
speech rights.
It has invited human rights groups, media organisations
and other civil
society organisations to join the campaign.
Prior to
the AU summit, African free expression groups will be participating
in a
forum in Banjul on 29-30 June to discuss how regional human rights
mechanisms can strengthen freedom of expression.
The forum will
examine the main challenges facing free expression in Africa,
and seek ways
in which advocates can more effectively use the African
Commission on Human
and Peoples' Rights and the African Peer Review
Mechanism to protect free
expression in their countries.
Participants will draft a list of
recommendations that organisers aim to
present to a number of African heads
of state and key AU officials at the
Summit, including the Chairperson of
the AU Commission, Alpha Oumar Konare.
The organisations hosting the
forum include ARTICLE 19, the Media Foundation
for West Africa, the Media
Institute for Southern Africa and the West
African Journalists
Association.

Accommodation Wanted (Ad inserted 13/06/06)
Please will you help by
sending this to as many of your family and friends
or by putting the word
out? We have sadly been given notice to vacate the
cottage we rent in
Kambanji. We are looking for either a house or cottage or
town house, which
has affordable rent, preferably on the Borrowdale/Mt
Pleasant side of town.
We are also possibly looking to look after a house
for the owners who are out
of the country, or similar. For Kay and her 17
year old son. Kay works for
MARS and has vast medical experience, which may
be beneficial to the owners
especially if they are elderly or have young
children. Dion is currently
doing his O levels at St Georges. Please we
urgently need help and would be
most grateful for any contacts.
