The Zimbabwean
BY MFANYANA
In a scathing commentary on the current situation in
Zimbabwe, Gift Phiri
pointed out the extent to which educational avarice and
privilege have
manifested themselves. In an article in the October 19, 2006
issue of The
Zimbabwean, he revealed how individuals in the ZANU club's high
places are
busy looting the national coffers by sending their offspring to
pricey
institutions of higher education overseas. The following are some of
their
choices:
School
Tuition
Harvard University(US)
US$39,880
District of Columbia University (US)
US$6,510
Wolverhampton University(UK) £3,000
Midlands
College (US) US$8,910
Durham
University(UK) £3,000
George Washington
University(US) US$34,110
Birmingham
University(UK) £12,000
It should be noted that
domestic workers in the country earn a minimum wage
of Z$8,000 per month.
Industrial workers earn between Z$15,000 and Z$60,000
per month. These
groups constitute the majority of families with children of
school and
college going age. It does not require a genius to figure out
that this
earning capacity will not sustain an elementary school fee of
Z$2,500 per
semester and Z$5,000 per term for secondary school.
Tuition fees for a
four-month term at a university jumped from around
Z$3million (US$30) to
between Z$30million (US$302) and Z$90million (US$907),
while the cost of
studying at a polytechnic surged to Z$30 million up from
Z$2million a term.
Residential students have to pay an extra Z$24 million
(US$241) for
accommodation.
Earlier in the year, the Vice Chancellor of the University of
Zimbabwe
announced a basic fee increase from Z$90 million to a whopping
Z$150
million. This development prompted Washington Katema, coordinator of
Students Union to blast the government. He complained, "What the government
has just done is to add salt to injury. We are sons and daughters of poor
farmers and civil servants who are struggling to get us to school with the
little money they get from their salaries."
In June, the Zimbabwe
Parliament Portfolio Committee on Education, Sports
and Culture noted that
the economic climate exacerbated by fee increase at
universities, had forced
some females to seek refuge in brothels. The
Committee further noted that
more than 30 students had abandoned their
chosen fields of study at the
Midlands State University due to inability to
afford to pay their mandated
fees. In addition, it lamented the fact that
there was a serious shortage of
teaching staff reported by most of the
universities and colleges since the
best trained lecturers had decided to
look elsewhere for better
opportunities.
The consequences of these drastic and punitive increases were
to be
expected. Parents, students and instructors had told the government in
civil
terms that the new fee structure was pricing education out of the
reach of
the majority of the citizenry and was condemning the poor to
perpetual
educational wilderness.
When the administration strategically
ignored their pleas, students and
instructors engaged in actions that were
aimed at establishing dialogue
among the groups. Discussions, workshops and
negotiations were planned. The
response from the government was non
constructive. The last resort of
demonstrations and class boycotts by
students and teachers is a legitimate
way of expressing frustration and
calling for effective corrective action on
the part of the powers that
be.
Dozens of university students in Zimbabwe have been arrested and a number
of
them tortured, following a spate of protests on campuses across the
country
over tuition increases of as much as 1,000 percent introduced
earlier this
year, according to student groups and human right
lawyers.
Zimbabwean police have been hunting for student leaders and keeping
close
watch over universities across the nation. In May, scores of students
from
the Bulawayo-based National University of Science and Technology (NUST)
staged a peaceful march through the streets calling for a reduction of their
fees. The event attracted a host of baton-wielding police who detained
several protestors and accused them of violating unspecified security
laws.
The harassment of students by law enforcement terriers has continued
relentlessly.
An On-line publication reported that about 50 students from
a number of
institutions of higher education were arrested on Wednesday,
October 26,
2006 simply for asking the administration to initiate
improvement on
standards of education. What triggered the arrest was the
group's petition
which read in part, "The students of Zimbabwe demand that
the recent
introduced fees be immediately abolished and be replaced with the
traditional grants. The immediate resignation or dissolution of the whole
ZIMSEC Board since it has failed to run efficiently the Examination Board
thereby lowering the education standards."
The education sector has been
so decimated that the system's experienced
personnel who have been its
life-blood are disappearing into other countries
in the region and far a
field in search of greener pastures.

FIGTREE - A
traditional leader in Matabeleland South has said people
resettled on
expropriated former white-owned farms under the government's
controversial
land reform programme, were the key architects of the soaring
number of
stocktheft cases in Bulilimamangwe district.
During a function organised by
police to launch the district anti-stocktheft
initiative at Figtree, about
30km southwest of Bulawayo, Chief Malaki
Masuku, said most of the cases of
stocktheft were being committed by hungry
newly-resettled villagers who
faced starvation in their homes due to very
low yields.
"I know some of
the people that are behind this (stocktheft) crime because I
have tried some
of them and even chased others from my area of
jurisdiction. People just
came here without adequate resources to till the
virgin land, most of which
was being used for cattle grazing and now they
are finding it difficult to
feed their families. That is why they have
resorted to stealing cattle for
resale in Bulawayo," said the traditional
leader.
He said the government
should have at least provided tractors for use by the
resettled villagers in
tilling the land in their maiden season, as most of
them moved to their new
homes with only a few weeks remaining before the
start of the agricultural
season.
"Even now most people here are still failing to till the land because
they
do not have draught power to do so. I do not condone stocktheft but I
am
only exposing the main reason behind it. We are not going anywhere if we
just talk about police arresting the criminals without looking at the
causes of the high rate of the crime. We are just as good as wasting our
precious time because people will continue stealing the cattle or abetting
the rustlers," he added.
According to crime statistics read by police's
deputy officer commanding
Matabeleland South province, Assistant
Commissioner Loveness Ndanga, 326
cases of stocktheft were recorded in the
district since the beginning of the
year, which marks a 12 percent increase
from last year's figures for the
same period.
"In these cases, 977 herds
of cattle, 242 goats, 26 sheep and 81 donkeys
were stolen among other stock.
Police only managed to recover 170 cattle, 60
goats, 10 sheep and 37 donkeys
from locals," he said.
Chief Masuku said the resettlement programme had
brought into the district
some people with questionable backgrounds, who
have taken advantage of the
chaos that followed the programme to "push their
selfish agendas" and feast
on other people's stock. - Own correspondent

COLTART
BULAWAYO - Zimbabwe is not a nation at war. It used to be able to
feed
itself and its neighbours. Zimbabwe used to have one of the highest
life
expectancy rates in Africa, up with South Africa. And these figures
cannot
just be blamed on Aids. Our neighbouring countries have the same
incidence
of Aids as us but their life expectancy figures are better (some
substantially better) than ours as is demonstrated below:
Zambia: men 40
women 40
Mozambique: men 44 women 46
Botswana: men 40 women 40
South
Africa: men 47 women 49
The reason Zimbabwe has the lowest life expectancy
in the world is because
there is no other country in the world where there
is the following unique
combination of factors:
-one of the highest
HIV/Aids infection rates in the world;
-pathetic amounts spent on ARV
medication by a Government that is more
concerned about importing military
aircraft from China than it is in
protecting the lives of its
people;
-the fastest declining economy in the world;
-the highest
inflation rate in the world - over 10 times the next highest
rate - Myanmar
has a rate of 70%, Iraq, a Nation at war 40%;
-the forcible displacement of
some 700,000 of the urban poor last year (UN
figures) and the bulk of these
people still homeless over a year on;
-several million people facing
starvation;
-a Government which deliberately underplays the extent of the
malnutrition
crisis for political/propaganda reasons and on occasions
frustrates the
operations of the WFP and other humanitarian
organisations.
In August 2002 Didymus Mutasa, presently the Minister for
State Security
(and the person in charge of Zimbabwe's secret police) said
"We would be
better off with only six million people, with our own people
who support the
liberation struggle; we don't want all these extra
people."
Since he made those remarks the Government has deliberately withheld
food
aid from people in need and has made it incredibly difficult for
humanitarian NGOs to operate. Human rights organisations have documented how
food has been used as a political weapon.
With an estimated 3500
Zimbabweans now dying every week (cf. Iraq with 700
per week) it would
appear that the Zanu (PF) regime now either doesn't care
about its people or
is deliberately engaged in a course of conduct designed
to subjugate an
entire nation. In the process hundreds of thousands arguably
are dying every
year in Zimbabwe; deaths which are largely preventable.
International Law has
something to say about this:
Article 7 (1) of the Rome Statute of the
International Criminal Court
defines, inter alia, Crimes against Humanity as
the acts of "Extermination"
(paragraph [b]) and "Other inhumane acts of a
similar character
intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury
to body or to
mental or physical health" (paragraph [k]) "when committed as
part of a
widespread attack directed against any civilian population, with
knowledge
of the attack".
Article 7 (2) (a) of the Statute states that an
"attack directed against any
civilian population" means "a course of conduct
involving the multiple
commission of acts (including extermination and
inhumane acts) against a
civilian population, pursuant to or in furtherance
of a State or
organizational policy to commit such attack". In other words
"attack" does
not mean necessarily a "military" attack.
Article 7 (2) (b)
of the Statute states that "Extermination" includes "the
intentional
infliction of conditions of life, inter alia the deprivation of
access to
food and medicine, calculated to bring about the destruction of
part of the
population".
In my view crimes against humanity have been committed, indeed
are still
being committed, by the Zimbabwean Government against the
Zimbabwean people.
But the international community is complicit because it
is looking the other
way.
Article 1 (B) of the Core Principles of the
International Responsibility to
Protect Doctrine states:
"Where a
population is suffering serious harm, as a result of internal war,
insurgency, repression or state failure, and the state in question is
unwilling or unable to halt or avert it, the principle of non-intervention
yields to the international responsibility to protect".
The international
community is failing in its duty to protect Zimbabwean
women and men who can
now only expect to live until the ages of 34 and 37
respectively. The
silence and inactivity of the international community
regarding this
catastrophe is profoundly shocking. - David Coltart MP is the

One of us could take over
BY GIFT PHIRI
HARARE - The commanders
of Zimbabwe's joint forces have confronted President
Robert Mugabe about his
succession plans - but once again the wily
politician has evaded the
issue.
Authoritative sources said the top generals, under the umbrella of the
Joint
Operation Command (JOC), met Mugabe in one of their regular briefings
ahead
of the Zanu (PF) conference scheduled for Goromonzi High School in two
weeks
time.
They told him frankly that he should act now on his promise
to step down in
2008 and anoint a successor in order to "to preserve his
legacy" it was
learnt this week. Sources said the commanders were
particularly concerned to
find out from Mugage himself whether he intends to
remain Commander-in-Chief
of the armed forces after March 2008.
"The JOC
heads told the President that they wanted to preserve his legacy,
and they
were amenable to the idea of any serving or retired army general
coming in
as his successor. They also emphasised that any change of
civilian
government should be done constitutionally," said a source close to
the
meeting.
The JOC comprises General Constantine Chiwenga, Commander of the
Zimbabwe
Defence Forces, Lieutenant General Phillip Valerio Sibanda,
Commander of the
Zimbabwe National Army, Air Marshall Perence Shiri of the
Airforce, Police
Commissioner Augustine Chihuri and Happyton Bonyongwe,
Director-General of
the spy agency, Central Intelligence
Organisation.
The generals have been largely silent on their preferred
alternative to
Mugabe, and did not propose any particular candidate during
the meeting.
They told the president that the absence of a clear succession
plan was
fuelling apprehension. This could be quelled by the appointment of
a popular
candidate who could unite the warring factions within the ruling
party that
have resulted in its dwindling national support base in recent
months.
Other sources said the generals' feelings were shared by a number of
senior
Zanu (PF) officials who had clandestinely lobbied them to confront
the
82-year-old leader and challenge him on whether he would back up his
retirement words with deeds in the interest of peace.
However, top ruling
party sources said the succession issue was not even on
the provisional
agenda.
Although Mugabe has permitted debate on the succession, he has at the
same
time moved swiftly to destroy politically anyone who has declared an
ambition to succeed him. He recently castigated his cabinet colleagues for
consulting n'angas (traditional medicine men) in an effort to gain
favour.
He is also well known for saying one thing and doing another. He
characteristically ducked the issues raised by the generals saying
supporters should be urged to rally behind the ruling party.
There is a
strong element with Zanu (PF) that wants him to extend his stay
until 2010,
thus synchronising the general and presidential elections every
five
years.
Analysts say the President no longer has the stamina nor the appeal to
woo a
restless and angry electorate, reeling from record inflation and
unemployment.
According to the highly placed sources, it was pointed out
to Mugabe in the
meeting that his support base in former Zanu (PF)
strongholds such as
Masvingo, the Midlands and Manicaland had dwindled and
that he could only
bank on the Mashonaland vote.
Some analysts said the
cabinet had also been weakened by divisions as
powerful military and
business factions tried to influence its economic
decisions and jockey for
favourable positions in the post-Mugabe era.

Makoni a
hot favourite
BY GIFT PHIRI
HARARE - The ruling party will hold provincial
congresses around the country
in the next 10 months to ascertain from party
supporters who they want to
succeed President Robert Mugabe as Zanu (PF)
president ahead of key
presidential polls due in the next 16 months.
It
also emerged that ruling party members were split between vice president
Joice Mujuru, former finance minister Simba Makoni and rural housing
minister Emmerson Mnangagwa as potential successors for Mugabe. Both Makoni
and Mnangagwa have been named in the past year as the most likely candidates
to replace Mugabe. But Mugabe is said to prefer ceding power to his
handpicked successor Mujuru, although reports suggest he is becoming
skeptical about this, pointedly because she lacks the intellect and capacity
to lead the country.
Although Mnangagwa has indicated before that he has
no presidential
ambitions, reports now suggest that he has been involved in
massive
behind-the-scene manoeuvres, through his rural housing portfolio, to
canvass
support among the party's grassroots.
Zanu (PF) secretary for
information and publicity Nathan Shamuyarira told
The Zimbabwean that the
debate on Mugabe's successor would start within the
provincial structures of
the party and would continue at the party's
extraordinary congress in
2007.
"Debate within Zanu (PF) itself will start from the provinces and
central
committee, before reaching the Politburo and the annual congress.
But the
issue is not on the agenda of this year's conference," Shamuyarira
said.
He would not discuss the behind-the-scenes campaign by potential
candidates,
which ruling party insiders say has already begun and which Zanu
(PF)
administration secretary Didymus Mutasa recently described as "hot,
hot,
hot."
Zanu (PF) officials said if the choice of the provinces was
used to
determine the selection of a potential successor to Mugabe,
Mnangagwa would
have the upper hand.
However, the officials said the
majority of Zanu (PF)'s Politburo and
central committee, key organs in the
ruling party's decision making process,
were backing Makoni, who they
believe has a "solid appeal to voters".
Foreign investors and multilateral
agencies have suspended support for
Zimbabwe and it is believed Makoni could
help to unlock the billions of
dollars worth of support that is crucial for
the revival of the country's
ailing economy.
"The contest is between
Mnangagwa and Makoni. Forget about Joice," said a
Zanu PF Politburo member
from Mashonaland Central province, who spoke on
condition of anonymity. "If
the debate comes to the central and Politburo
level, it is Makoni all the
way. We have been consulting informally and
Makoni seems to be an outright
choice given the way the politics is
unfolding in Zimbabwe and the influence
of the international arena," the
Politburo member added.
Since leaving
the Cabinet about four years ago, Makoni has staunchly refused
to comment on
his political future.

HARARE -
Several corrupt Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) and Zimbabwe
National Army
(ZNA) senior commanders looting their departments of state
resources and
precious assets have been identified.
Investigations by CAJ News this week
revealed that several top police
commanders, including the Criminal
Investigations Department (CID) Officer
Commanding for Harare Central,
Senior Assistant Commissioner Stephen Mutamba
and his co-accused Assistant
Commissioner Justice Chengeta allegedly paid
the sum of Z$2000 (about US$14)
and Z$1000 (about US$7) respectively for a
406 Peugeot and an Almera luxury
car.
Chengeta's Almera is red and has less than 20 000 kilometres of mileage.
ZRP
spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Wayne Bvudzijena has reportedly
paid
Z$1020 (US$7.01). In Zimbabwe today this sum buys two loaves of
bread.
Besides the two top police commanders, CAJ News believes there are 124
other
assistant commissioners and 33 senior assistant commissioners
throughout
Zimbabwe, who bought the force's expensive cars at a giveaway
prices of less
than Z$2000 each.
One senior assistant commissioner, who
is among police chief staffs
confirmed to CAJ News that the organization had
adopted this dangerous
policy to please its high ranking officers.
"One
day the junior officers and constables will arrest us for what is
happening
in the police department. These senior guys are also stealing
pistols and
ammunition from the armoury and reselling the firearms and
ammunition at
exorbitant prices to private firearms dealers," said the
officer, who asked
to remain anonymous for fear of victimisation.
Another Chief Superintendent
based at the Police General Headquarters said
the finance section had been
incapacitated by the overwhelming influence
from above.
"My friend, go to
Morris Depot, Thomlison, and Chikurubi canteens and see
for yourself. These
canteens now have empty shelves. The police beer outlets
have not been
spared either.All the money that is generated is not ploughed
back into
business but is chanelled towards the pockets of individuals,"
said the
officer.
Asked to comment on the goings-on in the ZRP, the Home Affairs
Minister
Kembo Mohadi, said the internal purchases of vehicles and other
small items
were done above board.
Sources also allege that minister
Kembo Mohadi, who is also the Beitbridge
Member of Parliament (MP), has been
given a Mercedes Benz by police
commissioner Augustine Chihuri in order to
buy his support.
Asked to comment, Chief Superintendent Oliver Mandipaka just
said: "Phone

BY GIFT PHIRI
HARARE -
Zimbabwe's main wing of the opposition Movement for Democratic
Change (MDC)
says should it win power, it would not revoke the 99-year
leases granted to
new farmers last week by President Robert Mugabe, but
would establish an
Independent Land Commission whose first task would be to
audit the
situation.
Contrary to expectations that the Zimbabwe government's land
resettlement
exercise would benefit landless peasants, Mugabe last week gave
99-year-leases for prime farms grabbed from whites to only 125 top army,
government and Zanu (PF) officials, as well the chief correspondent at state
monopoly radio and television, which has sycophantically driven Mugabe's
propaganda offensive, under the murky commercial settlement scheme. Among
Mugabe's cronies allocated the 99-year leases were Zimbabwe Broadcasting
Holdings chief correspondent Reuben Barwe, war veterans Joseph Chinotimba,
the leader and self-styled commander of farm invasions, Elliot Manyika,
Minister Without Portfolio, Webster Bepura, a top Mugabe loyalist, Menard
Muzariri, a senior Central Intelligence Organisation operative and Dick
Mafiosi, a Mugabe loyalist, among others.
"We cannot reverse what has
been done, but we cannot endorse what has been
done," anti-senate MDC
faction president Morgan Tsvangirai said.
He said the ruling party's method
of grabbing the land was wrong, even
though it was backed by sound
ideals.
"Zanu (PF) has embarked on this disastrous land grabbing exercise.
We, as
the MDC, think the method was wrong, the objectives might be right .
what we
want as MDC is a process to rationalise the reform programme so that
it
becomes equitable, transparent and deals with this historical grievance,"
Tsvangirai said.
He said once his party came to power it would conduct
land audits to find
out who owned which farms and how many.
This stems
from allegations that many of the Zanu (PF) and government
officials are
multiple farm owners.
"(The audit) is going to reveal who has got what, and
clearly set up a
mechanism of a land commission to deal with redistribution,
land reform
itself, assistance to farmers and the progressive support that
should be
given for food service sufficiency," he said.
Responding to
Tsvangirai's comments, Zanu (PF) spokesman Nathan Shamuyarira
admitted that
"there might have been problems with land allocation".
"But we are dealing
with it, we are investigating the problem as
government," Shamuyarira
said.
He was referring to a probe into the land issue conducted by
government, but
whose report has been kept under wraps.
"We cannot go
back to the pre-2000 situation in which Mr Joe Bloke who has
now run away,
is in Australia, we say come and get back your land. We cannot
go back to
that," said Tsvangirai.
Mugabe announced that a total of 140,698 families had
been resetlled on A1
plots on 2,740 grabbed farms. A further 14,856 farmers
are on 2,280 farms
under A2, but out of all these, only 125 handpicked
farmers were given
leases.
This has drawn accusations that Mugabe was
rewarding his loyalists in a
programme which he claims is meant to benefit
the poor.

HARARE -
Zimbabwean legal experts have dismissed as unconstitutional the
Gazetted
Land (Consequential Provisions) Bill expected to be signed into law
by
President Mugabe, giving his government the right to acquire farms
without
following due legal process.
Prominent lawyers said the Bill, which has
sailed through the second reading
to allow government to allocate land
without giving the owners the right to
contest the seizures, violated
fundamental rights in the constitution.
The outgoing Bar Association of
Zimbabwe's chairman, advocate Adrian de
Bourbon, now based in South Africa,
said the measure, was unlawful.
"I believe it is subject to challenge because
it certainly amounts to a
breach of section 16 and section 18 of the
constitution," de Bourbon said.
The controversial law empowers government to
start resettlement immediately
after issuing an acquisition order. It says
all those occupying state land
that came under a Section 5 Notice before
September 14, 2005 are deemed to
be occupying such land illegally unless
they are in possession of either an
official offer letter, a permit or
lease.
It allows government the right to ownership of the land, surveying,
demarcation and allocation immediately after serving notice to the farmers.
A fine or a jail term of two years or both can be imposed on those found
guilty of interfering with land seizures. Zimbabwe's government has been
making backdated laws to cover illegal aspects of its land reform
programme. - Own correspondent

HARARE - The MDC led by
Morgan Tsvangirai has set up a five-member team led
by Sam Sipepa-Nkomo
tasked with negotiating the modalities of unity between
the two factions of
the party.
The resolution to court the Mutambara faction followed a stormy
national
executive meeting in which Tsvangirai told his lieutenants the
people had
made an impassioned plea on him during nationwide rallies ahead
of the rural
district council elections that all the democratic forces
should reunite to
confront the common enemy: Robert Mugabe and Zanu
(PF).
The Tsvangirai-led MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa said it was imperative
that
the factions bury the hatchet because "we are rupturing the MDC
brand."
Chamisa said his faction was pursuing unity with the Mutambara-led
MDC
because this was in line with a resolutions of congress and the Save
Zimbabwe convention held in Harare on July 29, which included integrating
and working with all democratic forces.
Political analysts say hope is
dwindling that the factions will ever unite
given the antagonism between the
factions and concerns as to who would lead

The Zimbabwean
HARARE - A coalition of
churches, civic groups, political parties and
students has presented a
"democratic" draft constitution to government
demanding that it be adopted
before the 2008 presidential elections.
The militant NCA, which has led
several demonstrations against President
Robert Mugabe, spearheaded the
successful campaign against a new
constitution in February 2000, which gave
President Robert Mugabe his first
electoral defeat.
"We are headed for
exciting times," said Lovemore Madhuku, National
Constitutional Assembly
chairperson and constitutional law expert. The NCA
said it would campaign
against any party that rejects the draft constitution
before the next
presidential elections and could even encourage mass
protests.
"If any
person believes that this current constitution will deliver change,
then
that person is mad. It is not up to the government to decide but up to
the
people," said Madhuku.
The key change in the NCA draft constitution is to
limit the president to
two, five-year terms of office and reduce his powers.
Under the current
constitution, there is no limit to the number of terms a
president can
serve. The NCA document also proposes reverting to the system
of a
ceremonial president, as Zimbabwe had immediately after independence.
The
prime minister would have more executive powers but he would be
accountable
to parliament, which would be able to pass a vote of no
confidence in the
government.
Having dismissed the NCA as a front for the
opposition, the government is
unlikely to accept the constitution,
especially as its own draft was
rejected in a referendum in 1999. The
violent invasion of white-owned farms
began just days after the referendum
result was announced.
"The draft guarantees a multi-party system based on
regular, free and fair
elections. To achieve this ideal, the bill of rights
provides a set of
political rights and the draft creates a truly independent
electoral
commission to manage the whole electoral process," said Madhuku. -

HARARE
- Gideon Gono, the governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ), is
scheduled to visit Malaysia to discuss various bilateral issues, including
Zimbabwe's crippling foreign currency and fuel crises and revival of a
stalled trade and payments arrangement between the two countries.
Central
bank sources this week confirmed Gono's visit to Kuala Lumpur and
said the
RBZ chief would hold meetings with Bank of Malaysia governor,
Malaysian
bankers and business leaders whose companies export to Zimbabwe.
Gono, who
recently botched two deals with a South African fertilizer company
and
another with the Russians, is expected to hold discussions with
representatives of Malaysian oil company Petronas on ways of improving fuel
supplies to Zimbabwe.
"He is going to negotiate with them on other ways
they can assist Zimbabwe
in the procurement of fuel," a source said. It is
believed Gono might take
the opportunity to negotiate a facility under which
Zimbabwe would pay
Petronas in local currency for fuel imports.
Sources
said Gono would also discuss Zimbabwe's foreign currency crisis with
his
Malaysian counterpart. Economists and industry groups have warned that
the
fuel and hard cash crises could decimate Zimbabwe's manufacturing
industry,
which has so far lost more than 800 firms in seven years.
The
Zimbabwe-Malaysia Trade and Payments facility, abruptly suspended by the
Zimbabweans, is also expected to come up for discussion. The facility, which
became operational in August 2000, was officially suspended by the RBZ,
although banking industry sources said the pact had not been in operation
for more than three years now. Under the agreement, imports and exports were
paid for in the local currencies of the countries, with imports by Zimbabwe
being offset against proceeds from exports by local firms to Malaysia and
vice versa. The difference would be settled in hard currency after three
months. The decision to suspend the facility on the Zimbabwean side was
caused by the lack of interest in the arrangement by local exporters, which
resulted in a huge trade imbalance between the two countries.

percent, up from 1,023.3 percent in September.
Finance
Ministry sources said the exchange rate of the Zimbabwe dollar
against the
US currency would be depreciated from the current fixed Z$250 to
one
greenback to about $750 as part of efforts by Murerwa to smash a
thriving
parallel market that has exacerbated a hard cash crisis gripping
Zimbabwe.
Mugabe and his Cabinet, fearing that a devaluation will trigger
price
increases across an economy in crisis, have staunchly resisted calls
by
Murerwa, economists and business to devalue the local dollar in line with
its purchasing parity since mid year.
The parallel market, itself just
one of the distortions arising from years
of poor fiscal management by the
government, is trading one American dollar
at between Z$1,600 to
1,800.
The sources said Murerwa had finally convinced his Cabinet colleagues
that a
devaluation of the Zimbabwe dollar could help partly ease the
pressure on
the parallel market, where rates once reached 1,800 local
dollars against
the American unit before tumbling in the past week because
of increased hard
currency inflows ahead of the forthcoming Christmas
holiday.
The sources said Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor Gideon Gono
had
also lately joined Murerwa in calling for a devaluation of the Zimbabwe
dollar following a meeting late last month between himself and
representatives of the airline industry.
The airlines had petitioned the
RBZ following a directive by the government
to ban the use of parallel
market rates in companies' pricing policies.
"The Reserve Bank had
recommended a devaluation to 1,000 against the US
dollar but the Cabinet has
settled on 750 to the US unit," another source
said.

BY SCOTT A
MORGAN
HARARE - Recent reports that the Central Intelligence Organization is
sending agents to infiltrate Botswana are not a benefit to regional
security.
Botswana has been more directly affected by the economic
collapse within
Zimbabwe than any other regional actor, with the possible
exception of South
Africa.
It has also been noted that this action has
been taken in order to determine
how active the Botswana Security Forces are
and to ascertain how many
refugees are actually criminals in flight. This is
not the first time that
the CIO has taken a role in the increasing turmoil
within Zimbabwe. Nor will
it probably be the last time either.
It should
also be noted that the "split" that affected the Movement for
Democratic
Change that occurred over a year ago was an operation by the CIO
and other
Security Forces as well. We all have seen how far they will go to
silence
ANY critical voices as well. All that is needed to be done is to ask
any
journalist not on the state payroll or Christopher Dell, the Ambassador
to
Zimbabwe from the United States.
One may ask why is this action being taken
at this time? That the rest of
the countries in the region are achieving
economic growth as Zimbabwe
continues to fester is one possible answer. Also
it may be that the
authorities in Harare fear the rise of an army of exiles
that could unleash
a popular rebellion. Those could be seen as 'legitimate
reason' to undertake
such a mission.
So where will the CIO appear next to
try and disrupt any attempt by the
Opposition to garner support. Will it be
in South Africa or London? What
about Canada? Or will they be content to
seize the computers and records of
those who seek information from sources
not tied to the Ministry of
Information.
Or will they try and stir up
Xenophobic acts in other countries to send the
Zimbabweans home. These
actions will not restore freedom and economic
recovery to Zimbabwe. - The

The Zimbabwean
Generals betray secret ambitions to usurp
people's power
Very dangerous thinking
For the first time ever the top
brass in the army, the police, the air force
and the CIO have given
President Mugabe a gentle nudge, suggesting tactfully
that he should
consider retiring gracefully - and that he should do so soon.
They say they
have been forced to remind the aging dictator of his promises
to go
peacefully and willingly by savage in-fighting and a nation-wide drop
in
support. But of course the bottom line is that they want to save their
own
skins by ensuring that Zanu (PF) remains in power in the most
post-Mugabe
era.
Only if that happens will they be able to continue to enjoy the
disgustingly
luxurious lifestyles to which they have become accustomed,
while the
majority of Zimbabweans continue to live in appalling poverty and
squalor.
It is also interesting that the generals suggested that, in view of
the
internecine warfare with the party over the succession issue, one of
them
could take over from Mugabe.
This is very dangerous thinking.
Zimbabwe is already highly militarised,
what with colonels, generals and
brigadiers running numerous parastatals and
government ministries. A
military take-over of the presidency would usurp
what little power the
people have left.
It is encouraging however, that the generals also told
Mugabe that a
civilian succession would have to be done constitutionally. We
presume they
mean that free and fair elections, conducted in accordance with
international standards, must take place. It would be extremely helpful if
the generals would come out into the open and say exactly what they mean in
this regard.
We support their endeavours to orchestrate a peaceful end to
Mugabe's
over-long rule. We ask them to grasp firmly and positively the
opportunity
presented by his departure to do things right for Zimbabwe. That
is, to
bring back constitutional government and the rule of law, an
impartial
judiciary, international engagement, and so on.
First and
foremost is the need for a new constitution, removing the
excessive
presidential powers conferred upon one man by the numerous
amendments to the
Lancaster House Ceasefire document. The NCA has boldly
taken the lead and it
is up to the political opposition, civic society, the
churches and all other
interested parties to champion this cause.
The Zimbabwean
PRETORIA - The South African
government says it is concerned about worsening
socio-economic, human rights
violations and political crises in Zimbabwe.
South Africa's Director-General
of Foreign Affairs, Dr A Ntsaluba, said his
government was working together
with the African Union (AU) governments and
the international community
towards lasting solutions in Zimbabwe
Ntsaluba was responding to a letter
written to the SA foreign affairs
ministry by the Zimbabwe Exiles Forum
(ZEF), who called upon the SA
government to put to an end continued human
rights abuses by the Zimbabwe
government.
"I have noted your concerns and
wish to inform you that the Government of
South Africa is constantly
engaging the Government of Zimbabwe at the
political, economic and social
levels," said Ntsaluba.
ZEF called for South Africa to put to an end to the
wider crackdown on civil
society organisations and human rights
activists.
"Yet, in the face of such brutal repression, repression that
forces millions
of Zimbabweans into South Africa, your good office has been
deafeningly
silent on these atrocities. In fact, the perception is that the
South
African government has been shielding its counterpart from censure at
international and regional platforms, thus giving the unavoidable impression
that it is complicity in the repression going on across its northern
border," read the letter. - CAJ News
The Zimbabwean
MUSINA -
The Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO), South African Police
Services
(SAPS) and the Scorpions a plan to erect eight road-blocks along
the
Beitbridge-Johannesburg road to reduce illegal immigrants from flooding
South African cities and towns.
It is estimated that over three and half
million Zimbabweans are living in
South Africa with 90 percent of them being
Zimbabwean refugees/asylum
seekers.
As President Thabo Mbeki's close
ally, President Mugabe continues to
terrorise his own people forcing a
massive exodus. Mbeki has repeatedly
refused to condemn his northern
neighbour, but effects of the massive
refugees and asylum seekers crossing
the Limpopo River into South Africa has
redoubled from an average of 500
refugees per day to estimated 2 500 per
day.
Investigations by CAJ News
revealed that the road-blocks will be erected in
Musina, Louis Trichard,
Thohoyandou, Tzaneen turn-off, Pietersburg,
Pretoria, Midrand and
Johannesburg.
The SAPS, under the command of the Central Intelligence
Organisation (CIO)
operatives will be heavily armed with dog section and the
law and order
detectives sniffing out suspected political activists believed
to be working
towards removal of the Zanu (PF) government.
"If one goes
to Zimbabwe this first season, he or she must know that coming
back to South
Africa will be a daunting task. Eight roadblocks will be
effected as of 30
January and it is not going to be easy for many
Zimbabweans working here in
South Africa," said one SAPS officer in
Johannesburg central. - CAJ News

CITY BUDGET PUBLIC
MEETINGS
CHRA will be holding public meetings to educate and inform residents
on the
2007 City Budget formulation process. The City of Harare was supposed
to
make submissions of the budget to the Minister of Local Government on 31
October 2006 but residents were not consulted during the formulation of the
budget. This is a requirement under the Urban Councils Act (Chapter 29:15)
Section 219 (3) (b).
These public meetings will inform residents on the
illegitimacy of the
budget formulation process and they will be urged to
object to a budget that
is not people driven. CHRA's position is clear. We
are not in agreement with
the budget because it does not have the input of
the major stakeholders, the
residents.
The public meetings that are
geared to raise awareness on the 2007 budget
have been scheduled as
follows;
Kuwadzana Ext : 11/11/06 10-12pm Kuwadzana Extension

Harare
IN a development which could be linked to the recent
release of more than
100 suspected carjackers, robbers and burglars from
Harare Central Remand
Prison -- many of whom have already skipped bail --
the crime rate in the
city has risen sharply.
Police have since
launched a manhunt for the fugitives.
According to police sources, most
of those involved in the recent spate of
car thefts and housebreakings were
granted bail following lengthy periods
awaiting trial or sentence in remand
prison.
Their release came after Judge President Rita Makarau's visit
last month to
the prison to find ways to decongest the prison to as humanly
habitable
levels as possible and also clear the backlog besetting the High
Court.
After being granted bail, the majority of the suspects have
vanished. They
have not been attending routine remands at the courts,
resulting in warrants
of arrests being issued.
Most of the suspects
were arrested for carjacking, armed robbery, car theft,
theft of
motorcycles, and housebreaking and theft.
According to police sources,
cases of car theft and housebreaking have been
on the rise since the release
of the suspects.
It is understood that last month, a total of 41 vehicles
worth over $55
million were stolen in Harare and police managed to recover
16 worth over
$25 million.
So far this month, more than 10 vehicles
have been stolen in Harare alone.
The criminals have been targeting Mazda
B1600 and B1800 pick-up trucks and
Mazda 323 sedans mostly.
They are
believed to be stripping parts.
A senior police officer who spoke on
condition of anonymity yesterday said
most of the suspects should not have
been released especially as the festive
season draws near.
"They are
a threat to the people since they will never reform. However, the
long arm
of the law will soon catch up with them," he said.
Court officials
sometimes accuse police of failing to provide enough
evidence against
suspects for them to commence prosecution and secure
convictions while, on
the other hand, police have complained that known
repeat offenders continue
to be granted bail and go on to commit even more
serious
crimes.
Anyone with information on these suspects should contact the
nearest police
station.
Since last week, several Harare residents
have lost electrical appliances
and other property worth millions of dollars
to housebreakers, particularly
in the northern suburbs.
On Saturday,
a Bluff Hill family fell victim to intruders who gained entry
by breaking a
window before cutting burglar bars.
They stole a 74-cm flat screen
Panasonic television, Aiwa 3CD-changer radio,
Daewoo VCR, Canon printer and
Samsung fax machine, among other valuables.
Nothing has been
recovered.
Housebreaking cases increase during the rainy season and
winter as thieves
take advantage to steal property at night.
Although
patrols are being carried out, police have been urging people to
put in
place security measures at their houses.
Last month, Justice Makarau said
at least 10 inmates had stayed in remand
prison for up to nine years without
being tried or sentenced, effectively
depriving them of their right to
justice.
Speaking during a tour of Harare Central Prison, she said on her
appointment
as Judge President recently, she noticed that 10 robbery and
murder suspects
had been locked up in remand prison for up to nine years
without trial,
while their efforts to assert their constitutional rights
fell on deaf ears.
The gigantic prison has a carrying capacity of 1
216.

Harare
ZIMBABWE
risks missing its 220 000 tonnes wheat target for the 2006 winter
wheat
season following the heavy rains that fell in most parts of the
country this
week.
As of last Friday, the Grain Marketing Board had taken delivery of
only 60
000 tonnes of the cereal, as fuel shortages and the high cost of
hiring
combine harvesters took its toll.
To compound the situation,
the weather people have projected that heavy
rains would pound the country
for the next seven days, threatening the
winter crop in the
process.
Agriculture experts say the rains could adversely affect the
quality of the
crop, making it unsuitable for baking flour. It could also
suffer from what
they call "pre-emergence" in farming circles. This is a
situation in which
wheat germinates before it is harvested, compromising its
quality. When this
happens, it is often turned into stockfeed.
In the
absence of combine harvesters, some farmers have resorted to using
sickles.
Not only are they slow and cumbersome, but are impractical for
large
hectarages.
GMB acting chief executive Rtd Colonel Samuel Muvuti
yesterday described the
situation as "disturbing", but was optimistic it was
not too late to save
the situation.
"The target may still be
attainable even when the wheat is spoiled or not,"
Colonel Muvuti
said.
"However, the rains are likely to negatively affect the harvest
operations,
as farmers will have to wait until the rains have cleared.
Obviously,
quality would be greatly affected but we still would have to make
do with
what we have.
"This is one of the key reasons why we have
always encouraged farmers to
strictly follow the planting timetable to avoid
situations like these where
the rains set in before the harvesting is
complete.
"Ideally, wheat should go into the ground right at the
beginning of May and
then ensure harvesting is completed by end of October.
As it is, the
situation is really critical."
Harare agriculture
economist Mr Midway Bhunu was equally worried: "If the
weather people are
accurate this time around, then we are likely to suffer
huge losses from the
rains.
"Wheat will still come in but the quality would be greatly
undesirable. What
should happen now is that stakeholders such as Government
and the GMB should
put in place strategies to ensure harvest is delivered on
time."
Other analysts say wheat shortages could inflict more pain on
Zimbabwe's
food security situation and inflation, as bread tends to rival
maize as a
staple food.
"If we cannot harvest enough wheat in this
season this means the country
will have to augment supplies through
expensive imports," noted another
Harare agriculture specialist who spoke on
condition of anonymity.
"A significant portion of our inflation has been
imported and this is what
we are likely to see happen again in the new year.
In future, it would be
critical for Government to give enough assistance to
farmers to ensure
productivity is improved and cut the costs of funding huge
imports of things
that we can grow here."
Food inflation has been one
of the biggest drivers of Zimbabwe's inflation
spiral, fuelling the overall
inflation index, as basic commodities continued
to be in short supply, and
when available, prices were prohibitive.

Harare
POLICE have
launched "Operation Eradicate Cattle Rustlers Market" to curb
stock theft
during the festive season.
Police spokesman Chief Superintendent Oliver
Mandipaka yesterday said the
operation would target unscrupulous
businesspeople providing a ready market
for stolen
livestock.
"Information at hand suggests that the upsurge of stock theft
cases is as a
result of licensed and unlicensed abattoirs, butcheries, food
outlets,
supermarkets and meat vendors. We are going to crack down on them
as they
provide a market for cattle rustlers," he said.
"As the
festive season draws near, we are quite sure that stock thieves will
also be
making frantic efforts to steal stock and sell the meat to
unscrupulous
business operators."
"And also as a result of high prices of meat in most
shops, we suspect that
stock theft cases are likely to increase," said Chief
Supt Mandipaka.
The operation, launched on Monday, is expected to
continue until December.
"In Harare we have identified some places where
sheep and goats are sold,"
he said.
These places are the
intersections of High Glen and Willowvale roads,
Masvingo and Chitungwiza
roads (paMbudzi), Kirkman and Dziverasekwa roads
and along Seke
Road.
"We suspect that some of the goats and sheep being sold at such
places could
have been stolen," said Chief Supt Mandipaka.
He said
police would carry out 24-hour roadblocks.
It is believed that most
cattle rustlers transport their loot in the early
hours of the
day.
People could contact the anti stock theft unit on a toll free line,
0800421
and volunteer information.

Harare
THE Government, in conjunction with the United Nations
Development Programme
and African Capacity Building Foundation, will soon
embark on a baseline
survey on corruption in Zimbabwe.
This
initiative aims to define on a national scale, categorise corruption's
facets and to inform the process of anti-corruption policymaking, legal
reform and other related reforms.
The survey would also seek to
complement and reinforce the Government's
stance and political commitment to
the fight against corruption and to
garner national views on service
delivery and efficiency in the public,
private and civic
sectors.
Speaking at a one-day workshop for senior Government officials
to find ways
of combating corruption in the country, the deputy secretary to
the
President and Cabinet, Dr Ray Ndhlukula, said the programme, expected to
span over eight months, would involve broad consultations.
"It is
envisaged that the study will serve as a means to an end through
implementation of its findings and recommendations by the Government," he
said.
"The survey will be mainly financed by Government with private
and civic
sector support, in order to create a common social consciousness
against the
evils spawned by the scourge and to implement appropriate
response
mechanisms," Dr Ndhlukula said.
UNDP and ACBF were expected
to contribute 40 percent of the total funding.
A stakeholder conference
would be convened at the end of this month with
sponsorship from the ACBF to
refine the terms of reference of the study.
The survey comes in the wake
of efforts by the Government to find a lasting
solution to corruption, a
vice threatening to derail the country's economic
turnaround
efforts.
The survey is also expected to lift the veil on the role played
by both
corporate managers and public officials in fuelling
corruption.
Participants agreed on the need to define the profile of
private, public
sector and civil sector perceptions of corruption as a way
of arresting its
effects.
There was also need to enhance corporate
governance in parastatals, which
have in the past been described as hotbeds
of corruption.
Last year the Government appointed an Anti Corruption
Commission to
spearhead efforts to fight against corruption in both the
private and public
sectors.

Accommodation Wanted (Ad inserted 07/11/06)
Marsh Special Needs Class is
a class for up to 10 disabled children. For the
past 3 years we have been
fortunate enough to occupy a 2 bedroomed cottage
in Mandara free of charge.
Unfortunately the house attached to this cottage
has now been sold and we are
having to move out at the end of this term. We
really only need two rooms and
a bathroom. One large room to use as a
classroom and another smaller room as
a sickbay. Is there anyone out there
who would be able to help us find new
premises for January 2007? We were
very lucky not to have to pay any rent and
understand that we may not be so
lucky this time so if anyone has a cottage
or a couple of rooms and a
bathroom they would be willing to let to us we
would be very grateful.
Our children arrive at between 7:15 and 8am and
leave between 12 and
12:30pm. We have two teachers who would need to be able
to park their cars
for the morning. We stick to normal school terms and will
not be there
during the holidays except maybe a day or two for
cleaning.
Please could you forward this to everyone you know in Harare
and help us to
continue this much needed class for a very special group of
children.
Many Thanks

Temporary / Permanent Home wanted
(Ad inserted 10/10/06)
We have
recently relocated to Europe. Due to various circumstances we are
unable to
bring our two dogs (Black Retriever and German Shepherd) as yet.
Once we have
settled in and have reasonable space we would like to call for
one or both of
our pets if possible.
In the mean time we are looking for an elderly
couple who would be willing
to baby sit/ look after, or possibly adopt our
two dogs. Due to the
situation it is difficult to put an exact time period
required. They are
good security dogs and extremely love. They would suit a
couple as the
shepherd enjoys the company of females and the Retriever,
enjoys being
around Men.
We would be prepared to supply food etc as an
when required to the approved
" new home "
