Rights group seeks genocide trial for Mugabe over 1980s Zimbabwe army killings

http://www.apanews.net

APA-Harare (Zimbabwe) The Washington-based Genocide Watch said on Saturday
that Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and his top army generals must be
tried for genocide and crimes against humanity for the 1980s massacre of
20,000 civilians in the south of the country.

Human rights groups have accused Mugabe, who was then Prime Minister of
Zimbabwe, of unleashing the army between 1983 and 1984 into the volatile
Matabeleland regions to crush a rebellion.

The North Korean-trained Fifth Brigade allegedly killed an estimated 20,000
civilians and displaced thousands more.

Genocide Watch president Gregory Stanton said the United Nations High
Commission for Human Rights should conduct a full investigation of the
killings, popularly known as the Gukurahundi massacres.

"We call upon the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights to conduct
a full investigation of the Gukurahundi, with the aim of establishing a
mixed UN- Zimbabwean Tribunal to put Mugabe and his co-perpetrators on trial
for their crimes," Stanton said.

Genocide is a special crime against humanity because it must be
intentionally carried out against a national, ethnic, racial or religious
group.

Several ministers and top army officials in Mugabe's side of Zimbabwe's
coalition government are accused of direct involvement in the atrocities and
are believed to be hanging on to power to prolong their freedom.

IOM to resettle Zimbabwean farm violence victims

http://www.apanews.net/

APA-Harare (Zimbabwe) The International Organization for Migration (IOM)
said Saturday that it was resettling more than 340 Zimbabwean families
displaced by farm violence in the east of the country last year.

The organization said in a statement that the 342 families have been living
in two emergency displacement settlements in Chipinge since October 2009.

In a joint programme with the Zimbabwean government, IOM has been moving the
displaced families and providing them with alternative accommodation in
another village in Chipinge district.

IOM assistance includes transportation to the village of Mugondi, the
construction of community-based shelters and water and sanitation facilities
such as temporary latrines and sinking boreholes and the rehabilitation of
classroom blocks.

IOM said it was also working with the Zimbabwean government to ensure that
sufficient land tenure documentation is provided to the families being
resettled.

Zimbabwe's fast track land reform programme which began in 2000 has led to
widespread land disputes in many farming communities across the country.

The families were displaced following clashes between newly resettled
small-scale farmers and tenants in the Chipinge farming areas after labour
disputes on the farms.

The result was a wave of farm evictions, displacements and the destruction
of more than 400 houses, leaving almost 1,700 individuals homeless.

Zimbabwe's Civil Servants Stage Protests Over Poor Salaries

http://www.voanews.com/

The workers have given government one month to adjust their salaries or face
a mass job action

Thomas Chiripasi & Brenda Moyo | Harare/Washington DC 17 September 2010

Zimbabwe's civil servants staged a march in the capital Harare Friday
protesting poor salaries and demanding improved working conditions.

Numbering about 300, the demonstrators sought audience with Public Service
Minister Eliphas Mukoweshuro who promised to convene a meeting to discuss
their wage grievances.

State workers are demanding a pay rise, arguing government should be able to
pay them from proceeds realized from the Marange diamonds. But government
says it is broke.

Chief Executive Officer Sifiso Ndlovu of the Zimbabwe Teachers Association
told VOA Studio 7 reporter Brenda Moyo that civil servants want a minimum
salary of US$500 in line with the national food basket

ZEC warns against rushed election

http://www.zimonline.co.za

by Tobias Manyuchi Saturday 18 September 2010

HARARE - Zimbabwe should first clean up the voters roll and implement
proposed electoral reforms and ensure they have taken root before calling a
new vote, the country's elections body has said, appearing to rebuke
political leaders who are calling for polls next year.

Both President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai have said
Zimbabwe will hold elections next year to choose a new government to replace
their coalition administration.

But Zimbabwe Electoral Commission chairman, former Harare High Curt Judge
Simpson Mutambanengwe said rushing to hold a new vote before thorough
preparations will inevitably result in a disputed outcome.

"The timing of elections will also influence the prospects of any future
election," Mutambanengwe said while addressing participants at a civil
society meeting held in Harare last Thursday night to discuss elections in
the country.

Mutambanengwe said: "Problems could arise if elections are proclaimed before
proper preparations can be made and electoral reforms have been passed and
have taken hold.

"The prospects for next elections are dependent on a number of factors. Some
of the factors may be within the control of the commission provided it is
sufficiently funded, but many are out of the commission's control."

Mugabe and Tsvangirai were forced to form a power-sharing government after
disputed elections in 2008 and were supposed to terminate the union after a
referendum on a new constitution. That process is already a year behind
schedule.

Mutambanengwe said the electoral commission had to first grapple with a
voters' roll that is in shambles and also lacked enough financial resources
to hold elections which would not be challenged.

He said: "commissioners were appointed on the 31 of March 2010 which is
almost six months since their appointment, but they still not have received
their conditions of service.

"Conditions of service for the secretariat staff are poor and not in line
with the conditions of other election management bodies in the region."

Zimbabwe's elections have in the past been blighted by violence and charges
of vote rigging, which saw the European Union and United States slapping
sanctions on Mugabe and senior members of his ZANU-PF party. - ZimOnline

CIO boss denied entry into US

http://www.thezimbabwemail.com

18 September, 2010 04:27:00    By Staff Reporter

ZIMBABWE has filed a complaint with the United Nations Secretary General
after the US Government barred CIO boss Happyton Bonyongwa from attending
the UN General Assembly in New York.

Bonyongwa was supposed to be part of President Robert Mugabe's delegation to
the UN's 65th Ordinary Session but was refused a visa by the US embassy in
Harare along with ZBC Chief Correspondent, Reuben Barwe.

Both are on the list of individuals barred from travelling to the US under
sanctions imposed by President George Bush in 2002.

However the Zimbabwe government argued that the UN Headquarters was
international territory to which no country or individual should barred
unless they were under UN sanctions.

"The Zimbabwe Government has reached the UN Secretary-General's Office for a
formal complaint in what amounts to a breach by the United States government
of its status, conditions and commitment for hosting the United Nations," a
senior Government was told state media on Friday.

Bonyongwa was also barred from travelling to the US for UN meetings last
year.

Meanwhile the US has invited the Zimbabwe government for talks on the
sanctions.

Energy and power development Minister, Elton Mangoma will lead the Zimbabwe
delegation while the US will be represented by Assistant Secretary of State
for African Affairs Johnny Carson.

The talks are expected to begin next Wednesday.

The Zimbabwe government is pushing for the removal of the sanctions which it
blames for the country's economic problems.

However the US and the European Union are demanding more reforms and full
implementation of the Global Political Agreement before they can lift [ends

Political instability adversely affecting economy - Biti

http://www.dailynews.co.zw/

By Energy Bara
Saturday, 18 September 2010 16:07

MASVINGO - The unstable political situation in the country has impacted
negatively on the country's economy since no investor would pour money in a
country dogged by political instability, the Minister of Finance Tendai Biti
said on Friday.

Addressing people at a 2011 national budget consultative meeting in
Masvingo,Minister Biti described the country's economy as a "prisoner of
politics."

Biti said since the inclusive government was a temporary arrangement
investors and the donor community have  not provided the country with the
necessary financial support because of the current uncertain political
situation.

"The economy of this country is a prisoner of politics," said Biti. "We have
failed to get financial support from  donors or other  financial institution
because  they are uncertain of the political environment."

"Foreign direct investors would  want to know if we are holding elections
next year. And  they also want to know  what will happen after the
elections. Therefore, the  unstable economic climate has made it difficult
for the economy to grow in a way that we expected."

Biti said the country has an external debt of USD 7 billion  while the
internal debt stands at  USD 1,1 billion

"The huge domestic and external debt  has been a big burden to the country,"
said Biti

Turning to the issue of civil servants salaries Biti said while the
government appreciates that every worker has to be properly remunerated  the
country has no money to increase salaries of the civil servants.

The finance minister said preliminary reports have indicated that there are
over 45 000 ghost workers in the civil service and the country will only be
able to increase salaries of its workers once the issue has been dealt with.

"We appreciate the plight of civil servants  and that every worker should be
properly  remunerated but the country has no money,"said Biti

"The country is getting  USD 140 million every month but over 70 percent of
this goes to salaries."

Turning to the issue of diamond sales from Chiadzwa Biti said  USD 56
million was realised from the sale of the first batch of diamonds.

According to Biti of the USD 56 million only USD 17 million  was received by
treasury.

The country's civil servants have given the government  14 day notice to
engage in industrial action as a way to pressurise their employer to
increase their salaries.

Most government workers are currently earning money ranging from USD 150 to
USD 200.

Teachers unions have for long been calling on the government to increase
salaries for teachers arguing that the state was now realising proceeds from
the sale of diamonds in Chiadzwa.

Delegates at the budget consultative meeting called on Biti to deal with the
persistent power cuts and also unrealistic billing from  parastatals.

Mugabe's darkest secret: An £800bn blood diamond mine he's running with China's Red Army

http://www.dailymail.co.uk

By Andrew Malone
Last updated at 5:35 AM on 18th September 2010

 
Dictator: Robert Mugabe's regime claimed the diamond mines as their own, using brutal methods to make sure no-one tried to take the stones

Dictator: Robert Mugabe's regime claimed the diamond mines as their own, using brutal methods to make sure no-one tried to take the stones

Across a remote tract of southern Africa, naturally ­fortified by mountains and patrolled by hundreds of ­soldiers with dogs trained to tear intruders apart, teams of mining experts are hard at work.

Yet they are not speakers of Shona, the native language of this land on the border between Zimbabwe and Mozambique. No, thousands of miles from home, under a broiling African sun, these slim, pale-skinned figures are members of the Chinese military.

Working alongside henchmen from one of ­Africa's most murderous regimes - headed by Robert Mugabe - the Chinese are here to ­oversee Beijing's investment in the world's most controversial commodity: blood diamonds.

High-ranking officials of China's People's ­Liberation Army, they have been striving to escape detection for their role in this blood-thirsty - but hugely lucrative - trade.

For here, carved out of the African bush, is a runway big enough for huge cargo planes. There is also sophisticated radar equipment, a fully-operational control tower and comfortable ­barracks for the Chinese officials overseeing the entire operation.

And twice a week, its wings wobbling on waves of thermals rising from this scorching corner of the continent, an Antonov An-12 cargo plane can be heard droning towards the airstrip.

The Antonov - developed by the Soviets and, like so much else, copied by the Chinese and manufactured en masse - carries men and equipment from a secret military airbase ­outside Zimbabwe's capital Harare, whose job is to tear the gems from the earth. It deposits between eight and ten Chinese military officials, who work overseeing members of the Zimbabwean military, as well as local labour who work at gunpoint in slave conditions. 

The departing flights leave with rough, uncut diamonds worth millions.

No flight plans are filed and there are no records of these trips. Such secrecy - and sophisticated organisation - is understandable. This is the centre of diamond fever, and the scene of the biggest diamond heist in history.

Here, at the Marange diamond fields in the far southeast of Zimbabwe, where four planes bound direct for China have thundered out of the secret bush runway already this year, ­astonishing natural wealth has been found in the soil. Indeed, so common are diamonds here that, for many years, local children used the 'hard stones' in catapults to hunt birds, not realising that they were firing unimaginable riches into the sky.

Searching for hope: Zimbabweans rummage through the dirt for diamonds before Mr Mugabe found out about mine. Now the area is considered a military zone - with people beaten to death who enter

Searching for hope: Zimbabweans rummage through the dirt for diamonds before Mr Mugabe found out about mine. Now the area is considered a military zone - with people beaten to death who enter

But stomach-gnawing poverty - life expectancy here has halved to just 35 since Mugabe came to power in 1980 - led to a local diamond rush as news spread that riches were to be found. 

Professionals such as doctors, nurses, teachers and plumbers as well as other workers all descended on the fields four years ago, hoping to find enough stones in the earth to survive as the country's currency collapsed, with worthless notes blowing through the streets.

Yet all their hopes were crushed when Robert Gabriel Mugabe, the 86-year-old Zimbabwean president, and his ruling military junta, also came to hear of the rumours of such wealth.

Mugabe's military - many of whom have been given training in torture techniques in China - reacted in characteristically brutal fashion, shooting hundreds of people, setting Alsatian dogs on others and raping women and children.

They wanted the diamonds for themselves. The carnage had the desired effect: the poor and wretched were driven from the fields, leaving the way clear for Zimbabwe's military chiefs to move in.

Today, the fields are a military zone - and anyone caught there faces being beaten to death.

The reason for the secrecy became apparent during an undercover ­investigation at the fields, where I found conclusive evidence of ­collusion between China and Mugabe.
In an official - but highly-confidential - agreement between the two countries, the Chinese People's ­Liberation Army and Mugabe's ­military chiefs are plundering this diamond find, believed to be the ­biggest in the history of the world and worth an estimated £800 billion.

So vast are the riches that diamond experts believe the gems from Marange - in a country of less than ten million people - could account for more than a quarter of all ­diamonds mined around the globe, and could even trigger a massive slump in diamond prices if the stones come on the market and cause a glut.

Mugabe's military - many of whom have been given training in torture techniques in China - reacted in characteristically brutal fashion, shooting hundreds of people, setting Alsatian dogs on others and raping women and children.

 

Not that the people of Zimbabwe will see any of these riches. Instead, in return for the gems, the Chinese are paying Mugabe's thugs in guns and ammunition, ensuring his regime can stay in power despite ­international condemnation of his atrocities.

The two countries - both with appalling human-rights records - are involved in a vile scramble for loot at Marange, and there is clear ­evidence that Mugabe and his ­generals are also personally stealing millions from the trade. 

Secret documents obtained by the Mail reveal that the company given the rights to the diamond fields -called Mbada Diamond Company - is fronted by Mugabe's trusted former personal helicopter pilot, with ­Chinese military officials as silent partners. 

The documents reveal that the pilot - Robert Mhlanga, who has no experience of mining - was personally appointed by Mugabe, with Chinese partners named as Deng Hongyan, Zhang Shibin, Zhang Hui, Jiang Zhaoyao and Cheng Qins. With military camps set up around the perimeter, and three separate fences erected to keep out smugglers and spies, local villagers told me appalling stories of how they have been driven from the land at gunpoint.

Soldiers set their dogs on one girl, who was mauled and killed in front of her parents. The military said this was a warning to others to keep away from the fields; at least seven people caught near the fields were killed by the military in the last month alone and their bodies dumped.

Henchmen: Members of the Chinese military are overseeing the blood diamond mine and Beijing's investment within it

Lucky Sibanda, a local man, showed me the wounds on his back where he was attacked by dogs after the ­military caught him by the fields. 'These Chinese men have hard hearts,' he said. 'They are taking away diamonds that could save this country. I hate them.' 

The disclosures make a mockery of the decision by the Kimberley ­Process - the diamond watchdog set up in the wake of the diamond war in Sierra Leone - to allow Mugabe to sell gems from Marange - which is in the ­remotest, most inaccessible part of his impoverished nation.

And it comes as the issue is once again in the spotlight following ­supermodel Naomi Campbell's ­controversial appearance at the war-crimes trial of Charles Taylor, the cannibal warlord who funded the bloodshed and slaughter of more than 200,000 people in Sierra Leone in a battle over diamonds.

For, while Mugabe insists these ­diamonds will be for benefit of his people, the truth is they are already being used to fund a war chest designed to keep him and his generals in power, while millions more are siphoned into their ­personal accounts.
That much was made clear to me during a chilling conversation I had as night fell this week near the ­diamond fields.

There, at a meeting in a car on deserted waste ground - set up after tortuous negotiations through a go-between - one of Mugabe's most senior intelligence chiefs rubbed his hands with glee at the deal with the Chinese, and told me the weapons were being handed out to the ­military in preparation for a brutal new crackdown against opponents.

'There is a memorandum of understanding between China and ­Zimbabwe - Beijing supplies ­weapons to us, and we allow them to mine diamonds.'

As well as paying a share of the ­diamond profits to Mugabe's regime, he confirmed that China has agreed to supply military hardware to Zimbabwe.
'It is a government-to-government deal,' the official said. 'It has been signed at the highest level. 

'There is a memorandum of understanding between China and ­Zimbabwe - Beijing supplies ­weapons to us, and we allow them to mine diamonds.' 

Mocking the 'monkeys in the West' who have been outraged by Mugabe's brutality, my source - a cold-hearted killer - predicted that the diamond deal with Beijing would mean they could stay in power indefinitely.

'You can write 1,000 stories, and print them 1,000 times, but it won't make any difference,' smirked the official. 'We have all the diamonds, so we have all the weapons - and we will kill anyone who tries to take anything from us.' 

During an hour-long ­conversation, the intelligence source - whose identity I know, but who insisted I do not use his name or rank - also admitted that, without the Chinese pact, the ruling junta would have been driven from power. 'But now we have all the guns we need,' he said.

Of course, ­Zimbabwe is not Sierra Leone, where Taylor's forces drove civilians from diamond fields there, brutally cutting off the arms of thousand of ­people. Mugabe, who is reported to be in poor health, is far too clever for that.

Never killing so many, or so openly, that the West would be forced to intervene, he has become Africa's second-longest-serving leader by quietly ­terrorising the ­population, killing opponents and using his dreaded secret police, rather than wholesale slaughtering - with the exception of 25,000 members of the Ndebele tribe he murdered in the Eighties.

War crimes: Cannibal warlord Charles Taylor helped fund the bloodshed and slaughter of 200,000 in Sierra Leone in a battle over diamonds.

War crimes: Cannibal warlord Charles Taylor helped fund the bloodshed and slaughter of 200,000 in Sierra Leone in a battle over diamonds.

The country is run as a personal fiefdom for Mugabe and his ­military junta, all of whom live in palatial homes and expect a personal cut from every aspect of the country's wealth - from road 'tolls' raising millions and going to their ­personal accounts, to companies set up to capitalise on the diamond find.

'Just because they are crooks, doesn't mean they aren't clever crooks,' says one veteran ­underground Zimbabwe journalist. 'These guys were trained by the North Koreans and at Nanking ­Military Academy in China. They are thugs, but smart - that's why they are so scary.' 

To protect their wealth and grip on power, the junta runs three ­different intelligence services, ­hundreds of thousands strong. Countless opposition politicians have been murdered, not to mention hundreds of white farmers.

A human rights activist was jailed and tortured last month for giving Kimberley Process officials details of abuses at the fields, including the torture and murder of gwejas - ­illegal miners caught in the area.

The arms-for-diamonds deal between Zimbabwe and China was set up by General Constantine ­Chiwenga, a brutal killer and one of the so-called 'dirty half-dozen' ­military chiefs who run the country for Mugabe.

Believing the Chinese would be 'more disciplined' in extracting diamonds, Chiwenga struck the deal with Beijing during a trip to China last year in order to control sales for his personal benefit and that of Mugabe, who has more than £1.5 billion hidden in secret Asian bank accounts.

Already, an operation is underway to hide the bloodshed and abuses at Marange ahead of a series of ­visits planned by Kimberley ­Monitors to decide whether ­diamond sales should continue. 

Mocking those 'fools', my source - who reports directly to Chiwenga - sniggered that they would just show officials 'the good bits' and would make sure that any traces of brutality were hidden.

Harare: A port close to the city ships soil from the Marange region to China, where it is processed for diamonds

Harare: A port close to the city ships soil from the Marange region to China, where it is processed for diamonds

Asked if he believed these stones are 'blood diamonds', the thug laughed again. 'This is a military operation, not a civilian operation, and that means that of course they are. Are you a fool?' 

Not that a worldwide ban on ­Zimbabwean stones would stop the flow of diamonds out of Marange. Gripped by diamond fever, even these Chinese ­communists are trying to make money on the side.

I watched as two Chinese officials approached illegal diamond ­smugglers at a notorious trading point just outside the Marange perimeter. They left after ­purchasing uncut gems for their own private sales.

As well as flying diamonds out directly from Marange, other shipments are taken out via a military base near Harare, while lorry loads of soil from the ­diamond fields are trucked overland to a port in Mozambique, and then shipped for processing on Chinese soil.

Asked if he believed these stones are 'blood diamonds', the thug laughed again. 'This is a military operation, not a civilian operation, and that means that of course they are. Are you a fool?'

Once the diamonds are cut, the best stones for rings and other ­jewellery are sold back into the ­diamond network through dealers in India and the Middle East. ­Commercial grade stones are used in industry, helping fuel China's rise as a superpower.

And, at a town called Manica, just over the border in Mozambique, Chinese and Lebanese dealers run an international smuggling hub, mopping up any diamonds being sold by the few gwejas still brave enough to risk their lives at  the field.

During a visit to one infamous Lebanese dealer, who was ­surrounded by armed guards, I was told simply: 'I don't want to talk. If you have diamonds, show me them. If you don't have any, leave. Now.' 

My gruesome military source was correct: it is impossible to police these diamonds, whatever the Kimberley Process decides. 

Borders are porous; officials are corrupt. I was offered blood ­diamonds within ten minutes of arriving in Manica.

Perhaps now is the time for a new ethical debate: should diamonds now forever be associated with, quite literally, having blood on one's hands? 

Only consumers can decide; ­Zimbabwe's dead can't.

Zimbabwean President Mugabe to Call for Lifting of Sanctions at UN Summit

http://www.voanews.com

Briefing the media Thursday South African International Relations Minister,
Maite Nkoana-Mashabane said Pretoria will ask the West to remove the
so-called targeted sanctions on Zanu PF officials.

Blessing Zulu | Washington 17 September 2010

Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe is expected to leave for New York on
Saturday to attend the 65th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

The president, who will be accompanied by first lady Grace Mugabe and a
large number of senior government officials estimated at over 70,  is
expected to join other world leaders at the UN summit.

Finance Minister Tendai Biti has previoulsy threatened to crackdown on
spendthrift foreign travels that gobbled US$30 million  in six months when
the nation is struggling to raise funds.

Sources in the foreign affairs ministry told VOA that senior pilots were
asked to fly the president to the UN since the national airline's pilots are
on strike.

Harare had considered chartering a South African airways plane to ferry the
president to New York, sources say.  The annual UN session opens Wednesday
next week and runs until Septermber 30.

Topics to be discussed include climate change, development and
counter-terrorism strategies.  But on the sidelines of the UN summit,
president Mugabe, backed by Pretoria, is expected to lobby for the removal
of targeted sanctions imposed on him and 200 members of his inner circle.

The United States and European Union imposed a travel ban on Mr Mugabe
following the disputed 2002 presidential elections. He is only allowed to
attend UN meetings.

Briefing the media Thursday in Pretoria, South African International
relations and cooperation minister, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, said South
Africa will ask the West to remove the so-called targeted sanctions.

"Whenever weget an opportunity, we will be lobbying for the removal of these
restrictions against certain individuals or institutions in Zimbabwe,
because we think it's not necesarily helping in making sure Zimbabwe moves
forward," she said.

Political analyst Trevor Maisiri says Mr Mugabe's 70 member entourage is
just too big for a poor nation.

Magistrate Refers Maseko's Application to Supreme Court


 

 

zlhr logo18 September 2010

HRD’s Alert

 

 

 

 

 

MAGISTRATE REFERS MASEKO’S APPLICATION TO SUPREME COURT

 

Bulawayo Magistrate Ntombizodwa Mazhandu on Saturday 18 September, 2010 granted an application filed by lawyers representing visual artist Owen Maseko seeking a referral of his matter to the Supreme Court to determine whether criminalising creative arts infringes on freedom of expression and freedom of conscience.

 

In her ruling Magistrate Mazhandu referred the application filed by Maseko’s lawyers Lizwe Jamela, Nosimilo Chanayiwa and Jeremiah Bamu of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) to the Supreme Court after accepting that the application was not frivolous and vexatious.

 

The Magistrate said it was a fact that Gukurahundi-military killings of over 20 000 civillians in Matabeleland and Midlands-did happen.

 

Magistrate Mazhandu said the Supreme Court should decide on the points that were raised by the lawyers in their application.

 

The ruling means that Maseko’s trial will be postponed sine die until the finalisation of the case in the Supreme Court.

 

The lawyers filed their application before Magistrate Mazhandu last Wednesday. State prosecutor Tawanda Zvekare was opposing the application. Maseko’s lawyers stated that the artist’s fundamental rights, provided for in the Constitution of Zimbabwe and other International Human Rights Instruments to which Zimbabwe is a State party, were being violated.

 

The Supreme Court will now make a determination on the violation of the protection of the artist’s freedom of expression as enshrined in Section 20 (1) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, the protection of freedom of conscience, particularly freedom of thought guaranteed in terms of Section 19 (1) of the Constitution and the protection of the law as provided in terms of Section 18 (1) of the Constitution.

 

The Constitutional court will now determine whether or not bona fide works of artistic creativity can be subjected to prosecution under Section 31 and 33 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act (Chapter 9:23) without infringing on the provisions of Sections 18 (1), 19 (1) and 20 (1) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe.

 

In their application Jamela, Chanayiwa and Bamu argued that Maseko’s freedoms of expression and thought as guaranteed by Sections 20 (1) and 19 (1) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe respectively were violated repeatedly at various stages when he was arrested in March after the police outlawed his art works and when the government recently invoked the Censorship and Entertainment Control Act to ban his paintings at the Bulawayo National Art Gallery.

 

The lawyers alleged that these rights were still being violated and continued to be violated through pressing fresh charges against the artist.

 

The lawyers stated that art was a professional trade that could never lend itself to one conclusive interpretation and was an idea or thought that was developed over time, and then presented in visible form for public scrutiny.

Stop political violence against teachers - Coltart

http://www.dailynews.co.zw/

By Maxwell Sibanda
Saturday, 18 September 2010 16:29

HARARE - Education, Arts, Sports and Culture minister Senator David Coltart
has urged political parties and rural communities to stop violence against
teachers during  campaigns like the current constitutional making programme.

"All those responsible for violence and killing  in rural communities are
actually killing the teaching profession and destroying the education of our
children.Teachers are perceived as opposition party  supporters and  most
rural communities have always turned against them," Senator Coltart said.

The Minister was speaking in Harare recently during a discussion of  the
Bill of Rights for Education with various stakeholders including artists.

He said it was difficult for the government to lure back qualified aned
experienced teachers to rural areas because of violence and poor housing
that is why the quality of education in those communities has drastically
deteriorated lately.

"We must look into the security concerns of teachers in rural communities
and as a ministry we have realised that teh greatest drop in education is in
violent prone provinces,"Senator Coltart said.

He said there is need to democratise education in Zimbabwe to get it back to
its excellent status of the 1980s.

This, he added, could only be achieved through the democratisation of  the
education content and the teaching process  itself.

"There is no civic education in the current school curriculum and my
ministry is working hard so that this is included. We need to teach
democracy in schools," said Coltart, a lawyer by training.

Raymond Majongwe, the president of the  combative Progressive Teachers
Union who attended the function said while the minister's call to
democratise the education system was a good idea, it would be difficult to
implement  as people in his ministry were working against him. "Ninety
percent of the people under his ministry are against him.

He is the only education minister who has phoned me so we could discuss
about teachers, not the likes of former Minister Aeneas Chigwedere,"
Majongwe said.

Majongwe said democratisation and fair distribution of resources was
critical for the education sector. He blamed influential politicians for
allocating themselves grants and resources to build good schools in their
areas at the expense of other provinces.

He said: "They donate computers in schools that have no use of them, yet
there are schools already teaching computers who have no access to them. All
they want is to appear in newspapers and television."

Majongwe said the distribution of qualified teachers to the country's
various provinces was politically biased.

In rural areas, while trying to work with parents Majongwe noted that the
District Administrators and even Chiefs were having a say in the running of
schools.

He said: "Several  Parent Teachers Assocaitions  have been formed to
administer schools in rural areas and this has brought chaos to the
administration of schools. The chairpersons of these committees are now
always at the school, they want to buy the footballs, the books and so on,
clearly jobs that should be done by school heads."

He said during political party campaigns, local rural bullies chased away
qualified teachers and at times ended up taking the teachers' posts.

Majongwe welcomed the proposal by Minister Coltart to launch a Teachers
Council as a way towards self regulation of the teaching profession

Chiadzwa families relocation irreversible

http://www.dailynews.co.zw

By Sidney Saize
Saturday, 18 September 2010 16:21

MUTARE - Manicaland provincial administrator Fungai Mbetsa has warned 44
families in Chiadzwa's Marange that are resisting relocation from their
villages to be resettled in Odzi that the government programme was
irreversible and continued refusal would be "folly".

In an interview with the The Daily News this week Mbetsa revealed that there
was some political influence from those families that are refusing to be
relocated unless they are paid full compensation for their properties.

"We know there are political people behind this action by these families to
resist the relocation. But one thing for sure is  that the programme is
irreversible and there is no going back on this one," said Mbetsa, without
naming whom he suspects of influencing the villagers to be relocated unless
they are paid compensation first.

On Tuesday the families snubbed Mutare district administrator, Cosmas
Chiringa's call for them to pack their things and leave for Arda Transau in
Odzi where they are set to temporarily stay until their permanent structures
are fully constructed.

Chiringa had reportedly gone to the families with trucks ready to move them
to Arda Transau but the families insisted on being paid first.

In an interview this week, Mutare West Member of Parliament Shuah Mudiwa
confirmed the families had shrugged off Chiringa's initiative to be moved to
Odzi on Tuesday.

"The families told the new Mutare DA Chiringa that they cannot go anywhere
before they are given their compensation. So Chiringa and his four trucks
ready to take the families for Odzi returned without taking anyone," said
Mudiwa.

But Mbetsa said the government was still trying to negotiate in good faith
and explaining to the villagers how the issue of transport is being handled
without using any force.

He would not reveal what the government would do given the continued
defiance from the villagers to move to the prescribed area.

"The issue of compensation has been discussed with the leaders of the
Chiadzwa Community Development Trust. They were informed full compensation
would be paid when they are at permanent structures, for now they will be
paid disturbance allowances," explained Mbetsa.

Each family is paid US$1 500 in disturbance allowance and compensation would
depend on the individual property one has and what the evaluators got from
their evaluation.

He said evaluation of the properties of the affected families had been
completed and he had the list.

"As soon as Mbada Diamond Mines finishes the construction of the houses and
the families move into them the families would get their compensation.

Mbetsa said it was improper to pay for compensation now when the families
are not yet properly settled since Arda Transau Farm in Odzi is only a
provisional settlement.

At least 12 families initially settled at Arda Transau Farm complain of
inadequate housing for their families.

The families say because of a shortage of accommodation grown up girls and
boys are sharing the same rooms as they wait for the completion of permanent
structures to move in.

The families also want the issue of farming land resolved promptly so they
begin land preparation ahead of the rainy season.

Church: The new Zanu (PF) frontier

http://www.thezimbabwean.co.uk

Written by VUSMUZI BHEBHE
Saturday, 18 September 2010 13:11

HARARE - Zanu (PF) is going to church - literally - as the party leaves no
stone unturned in its attempt to reverse the humiliating loss to Prime
Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's former opposition MDC-T in Zimbabwe's last
general elections held in 2008. (Pictured: President Robert Mugabe (second
from left) attends an apostolic church session)
Two years after its land reform mantra failed to convince a restive populace
to vote for it, President Robert Mugabe's party appears to have struck
another winning formula - this time in the form of a captive audience and
potential voters offered by submissive church groups. The flurry of "church
activities" by Zanu (PF) bigwigs during the past month has betrayed the
party's motives.
In the past week alone, Zanu (PF) chairperson Simon Khaya Moyo and Vice
President Joice Mujuru have led the party's latest marketing strategy,
reminding hapless churchgoers of the sacrifices made by Mugabe and others to
liberate Zimbabwe from colonial bondage.
Mujuru told thousands of the Apostolic and Zion followers on September 12
that the freedom of worship Zimbabwe presently enjoys was a result of the
sacrifices of those who died to liberate the country. Speaking at the launch
of the Apostolic Christian Council of Zimbabwe, the Zanu (PF) and national
Vice President said the "government" is more than prepared to take on board
and support the apostolic sect in empowerment projects considering that they
are well known for self reliance.

Salvation Army
On the same day Moyo was addressing members of the Salvation Army during a
ground-breaking ceremony for the new church building for the Crowborough
North congregation. This particular event gave away the motive behind Zanu
(PF)'s sudden interest in the church, according to political analysts. "The
fact that Mujuru appointed Moyo to represent her at the Salvation Army event
instead of another government official tells a story of its own. Remember
that this guy (Moyo) is not a member of the current government. He
represents a party," said Harare-based political analyst Donald Porusingazi.
Mujuru is a member of the Salvation Army and has regularly officiated at
functions organised by the church. She allegedly delegated to Moyo an
invitation to participate at the  Crowborough North event instead of
seconding someone from the
coalition government. And Moyo did not disappoint, using the function to
campaign for Mugabe and Zanu (PF).
He told Salvation Army youths to emulate Mugabe and other members of the
party who fought for the country's liberation.
Several other senior Zanu (PF) officials have also addressed churchgroups
since the beginning of the year as the party readies itself for the country's
next polls. Mugabe's party will be hoping to wrestle back parliamentary
seats it lost to the MDC-T during the last polls held in March 2008.
The polls saw the former ruling party losing its parliamentary majority for
the first time since independence from Britain in 1980. It also saw Zanu
(PF) being forced by the Southern African Development Community and African
Union to enter into a power-sharing arrangement with Tsvangirai's party.
No date is given for the next elections in the power-sharing agreement -
commonly known as the global political agreement (GPA) - signed by Mugabe
and Tsvangirai in September 2008 or in the implementation matrix for the 24
contentious issues agreed by the leaders in July.

Voters roll
But there has been a general assumption that they will be held sometime in
2011. Both Mugabe and Tsvangirai have also talked of elections in 2011, with
the former allegedly ordering Finance Minister Tendai Biti to set aside
US$200 million for polls when he presents next year's national budget. But
in a recent radio interview Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara
- who is the third signatory to the GPA - branded the election talk as
political grandstanding, saying it was not possible to put the voters roll
in order in time for elections in 2011.
Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) chairperson Simpson Mtambanengwe has
also cast doubt on ZEC's ability to conduct elections in 2011, citing
financial constraints and the fact that the voters roll is in "disarray".
Critics say the voters' roll is outdated with thousands of dead people still
appearing on the voter's register and have accused Zanu (PF) of
benefiting from the shambles.
A respected former High Court judge, Mtambanengwe said ZEC was also in the
process of carrying out reforms that would end past disputes. Zimbabwe's
elections have in the past been blighted by violence and charges of vote
rigging, which saw the European Union and United States slapping sanctions
on Mugabe and senior members of Zanu (PF).

ANALYSIS: Zim inflation drops, cost of living up

http://www.zimonline.co.za/

by Edward Jones Friday 17 September 2010

HARARE - Zimbabwe's inflation rate has retreated for the third straight
month and is set to fall within the official target by the end of the year
but analysts said the fall in the consumer price index is not being felt by
consumers, adding that the government may need to review the calculation of
its figures.

Annual inflation slowed further to 3.6 percent in August, from 4.1 percent
the previous month but the month on month figure remained flat at -0.1
percent for the third straight month.

But most Zimbabweans are not feeling the fall in prices, instead poverty
continues to bite with unemployment still high in the country.

"Some things have come down but the major problem is that there is no real
growth in the economy, so there are no jobs," John Robertson, a Harare based
consultant economic analyst said.

"What that means is that there is a greater dependency burden in the country
where few people are sharing their income with the bigger extended family.
So even if prices are not going up, the cost of living is."

Finance Minister Tendai Biti said in July that annual inflation would
average 4.5 percent by December this year but that growth would slow down as
the southern African country struggle to attract foreign investment and
donor funds.

The coalition government of President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister
Morgan Tsvangirai last year discarded use of the Zimbabwean dollar, made
worthless by hyper-inflation, in favour of foreign currencies such as the
U.S. dollar and South African rand.

Basic goods, which had disappeared during the hyperinflation period, are
back on the supermarket shelves but many Zimbabweans, with an average
monthly salary of $170 are struggling to make ends meet.

Tony Hawkins, a lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe's business school
said the spending patterns in the country had changed since 1995, the last
time a new calculation for the price index was introduced.

"Things have changed dramatically since then. I think inflation is much
higher than the official figures because if you ask the business leaders
they tell you costs are going up and they are passing this to consumers as
well," Hawkins said.

"So there is a distortion there but it is not deliberate. This is why the
ordinary person can not feel the slow down in inflation."

Civil servants, who still make up the largest bloc of workers in the country
have threatened to go on strike to push for higher wages.

Most people say they are spending most of their income on school fees,
rentals and utility bills, but these make up a smaller component of the
consumer price index basket, which is used to calculate inflation.

The coalition government says it needs at least $10 billion to revive an
economy that was in recession for a decade.

Critics say potential foreign investment has taken a hit after government
threats to force foreign owned companies to sell their majority shares to
local blacks.

"The momentum that was built last year has evaporated because of the threat
of indigenisation and so you have a decrease in inflows also having an
impact on incomes in the economy," Robertson said.

"But we also need to be aware that Diaspora inflows have diminished
somewhat, which has taken an important income for many families."

Zimbabwe registered its first expansion in a decade last year when the
economy grew by 5.7 percent.

The International Monetary Fund has painted a dim economic outlook and has
forecast that growth will be below 2.5 percent this year. -- ZimOnline.

Nowhere to Hide

Dear Family and Friends,
Every year it seems the changing leaves on the Msasa trees are more
beautiful than theyve ever been before and this year is no
exception. In the last couple of weeks the Msasas have shaken off all
their old dusty leaves and given us an African extravaganza. From
bright shiny red to deep dark port wine, the leaves have turned then
to soft orange and caramel, then a tinted pinky brown before finally
turning pale green and darkening as they prepare to face the summer
sun. The display has been so beautiful this year that it had to be
seen to be believed. On stretches of road where there are valleys or
kopjes, the trees have appeared as rich Persian carpets and left you
feeling as if you have walked into a childs exotic painting.
 At ground level its been a completely different sensation with the
days filled with the noise of falling Msasa pods. As soon as the sun
hits the trees in the morning the pods begin exploding and the
intensity increases with the temperature. From every direction comes
the click, crack sound of pods splitting open and spitting out their
shiny brown seeds as they fall to the ground. Underfoot is a maze of
pods, some flat and velvety on the underside but most curled and dark
brown with sharp tips.
As if the colours, noises and falling pods werent enough, this is
also the time of year when the summer birds start reappearing.
Babblers and Thrushes running on the ground feasting on worms in the
fallen pods; Drongoes and Bulbuls swooping down to spear termites
newly emerged from the baked ground in their millions and hungrily
devouring every blade of dry grass. The Flycatchers and Bee- eaters
are back and the mocking calls of the Go Away birds all add to the
spectacle of Zimbabwe at this time of year. A spectacle where every
day ends with a bright red sun slipping into the horizon through the
smoke, dust and haze.
This week it hasnt just been the beauty of nature which has lifted
our spirits in Zimbabwe but also two pieces of news. The first is
that a woman who took part in a number of violent farm invasions here
has been denied asylum in the UK. She must return to live in the
country which she helped turn into a begging bowl. She must return to
be amongst people who saw her, know what she did and to whom. The
second piece of good news is that Genocide Watch have announced that
the Gukurahundi mass killings in Matabeleland in the 1980s have been
classified as a genocide. With the official classification comes the
fact that there is no Statute of Limitations and for the rest of
their lives the perpetrators of mass murder can be held to account
for their actions. So, at last, there is nowhere to hide and
accountability becomes reality. Until next week, thanks for reading,
love cathy. Copyright Cathy Buckle 18th September 2010.
