In “The untold story of the MDC split", Itai Dzamara has written an article that raises questions about the role of “The Zimbabwean” in Zimbabwe’s struggle for democracy, human rights and political decency.
The article, that quotes unnamed sources, alas, Herald, Chronicle and other state sponsored mouthpieces, is full of blatant lies, misinformation, innuendoes and what would seem like a deliberate attempt to malign those who hold views contrary to those of Morgan Tsvangirai.
Whilst I do not advocate editorial censorship on the part of "The Zimbabwean", I am distressed that a newspaper that claims to promote “voices of the voiceless” would give room to articles that seek to promote only one voice, that of Mr Tsvangirai.
Let us examine some of the untruths in Mr Dzamara’s article
· All the internal commissions of enquiry that were commissioned by the united MDC’s National Council do not reveal a single incident of inter-party violence perpetrated by any other group other than groups aligned to Mr Tsvangirai. When the MDC split following the October 12 vote, Professor Welshman Ncube did not become the Acting President of the formation that went to Congress and was subsequently led by Professor Arthur Mutambara. That grouping was led by Mr Gibson Sibanda. This constant reference to Welshman Ncube’s camp is a sinister disinformation designed to mislead the general public.
· “They tried to push for a preservation of their senior positions through a decree by Tsvangirai”writes Dzamara. Which section of the MDC constitution would have allowed Tsvangirai to “decree” some process in the MDC? None! Why would someone make such a blatantly false statement in a newspaper that seeks to rescue Zimbabweans from the nauseating disinformation spewed out by state newspapers on a daily basis? Why would Tsvangirai, as Dzamara revealingly puts it, “want to get rid of Ncube"? I thought it was Congress delegates who decided who held which position in the Party! So, according to Dzamara, Tsvangirai was on record as saying “ To hell with the Top Six”, a leader that uses that kind of language can only be admired by those that are blindly psychopathic. The truth of the matter, and I do not claim to speak for Mr Tsvangirai, he is not on record anywhere as saying, “To hell with the Top Six,” that is Dzamara’s fanciful invention.
· Though Dzamara claims that “ it is important to unravel the link between the Tsholotsho plot and the MDC" ( I thought it was only ZANU PF and Mugabe who referred to the Tsholotsho gathering as a plot,) he is unable to offer any reasonable links between the two. Again he indulges in fanciful innuendoes without providing concrete evidence. Those of us who were in the united MDC then know for a fact that there was no such link. Why would a serious journalist, if at all he is a serious one, writing in a serious human rights promoting newspaper, write such untruths?
· The rest that he writes about with respect to Professor Jonathan Moyo and President Mbeki can be dealt with by those individuals that, in my view, he seeks to malign in order to promote Tsvangirai leadership.
· So, according to Dzamara the Tsholotsho “plot” flopped because it was leaked to Tsvangirai! If that is true, then ZANU PF owes Tsvangirai a huge debt of gratitude. Of course, this is fanciful stuff designed yet again, to elevate Tsvangirai’s status way above its purchase level.
· I can understand Dzamara maligning Zimbabwean opposition politicians that do not support Tsvangirai’s leadership, but to make disparaging remarks about President Mbeki in yet another attempt to promote Tsvangirai’s leadership is in bad taste to put it mildly. President Mbeki had nothing to do with the MDC split, Tsvangirai presided over that split. President Mbeki did not influence 33 members of the National Council to vote in favour of participating in the senatorial contest. What tends to be ignored by those who are in the business of distorting facts is that of the 12 Party Provinces that decided on the matter, 6 voted in favour of participation, four voted against and two had not completed the process of consultations. Let anyone dispute these facts. Whether participating or not participating in the senatorial race was politically wise or not is now water under the bridge that should not be mudded by peddling untruths.
· The allegations of fraud around the voting procedure are false. After the Top Six Management team had been asked to deliberate on the issue in response to Roy Bennet’s resolution which was unanimously adopted, Tsvangirai came back and announced that the Top Six had agreed that the matter be subjected to a vote by secret ballot. It was Tsvangirai himself who urged all present to abide by the outcome of that vote. Let Tsvangirai and his supporters dispute this fact if they dare.
· It is false, infact it is a despicable lie to state that after the National Council vote “Ncube and his followers walked out to announce the split”. It is Tsvangirai who walked out despite entreaties from his colleagues who included Tendai Biti. It was Tsvangirai who, thirty minutes after leaving the Council, falsely told journalists that the council vote had been split evenly and that he had used his “presidential casting vote”. Of course that was untrue. The MDC Constitution does not have a provision for a presidential casting vote- what ever that means. The lie that is being currently peddled to the effect that there were two proxy votes from Mrs. Sekai Holland and Ms Grace Kwinjeh is just a lie. There are no proxy votes in the MDC Constitution. In any case those two did not even know that there would be a vote over the matter.
·
The ethnic frame in which the split is being
cynically cast by Tsvangirai’s supporters raises questions about the group’s
ability to build a united
· President Mbeki should be commended for attempting to assist the opposition heal the split. He was after all; seized with attempts to get ZANU PF and the MDC resolve the Zimbabwean crisis, a fractured MDC would not achieve this objective. The nonsense about Mbeki preferring Ncube to Tsvangirai is the product of an inferiority complex that cannot be blamed on Mbeki. He took the risk of angering ZANU PF in the process
· So “Tsvangirai declined and actually called the developments a storm in a tea cup”. We have a private conversation between a Head of State and an opposition leader revealed in order to promote Tsvangirai’s leadership! Is it any wonder that President Mbeki would “prefer” some leaders in the opposition and have disdain for others?

I fully support MDC party National Chairperson Mr Lovemore
Moyo's call
for the Diaspora vote. Any election that Zimbabwe will stage
will not be
free and fair if the Zimbabweans that are based outside the
country are not
allowed to exercise their right to choose the next
government. If the
despotic regime of Robert Mugabe goes ahead without the
vote of Zimbabweans
based outside the country the result will be challenged
as it will not be a
true representation of the wish of
people.
There are provisions made by the illegal government of
Robert Mugabe
to enable soldiers and diplomatic staff based outside Zimbabwe
to vote, the
same provisions can be extended to cater for millions of
Zimbabwe many whom
have been forced by this regime to abandon their homes in
search of refugee
outside Zimbabwe. Already millions that are in exile feel
helpless as events
unfold in Zimbabwe, they watch from the sidelines unable
to contribute to
bring change in Zimbabwe. If we are allowed to vote it will
mark our only
notable contribution and bring the much needed change in
Zimbabwe. While
Moyo is spot on on the call for the diaspora vote a lot is
needed from
Zimbabweans if change is needed in
Zimbabwe.
While those trapped in Zimbabwe continue to feel
the brunt of the evil
regime of Robert Mugabe, it bothers me that the
majority of Zimbabweans in
the diaspora remain apathetic to the situation in
Zimbabwe. While there is
notable activism to those that are dedicated to a
new Zimbabwe, my comrades
in the MDC, Free-Zim Youth, The London &
Bristol Vigils, The Forum...amongst
the few. Despite the noble and sometimes
heroic efforts of those that still
care about Zimbabwe, there are those that
are here in the diaspora that
cannot be bothered about Zimbabwe or its
politics. Nobody knows the exact
population of Zimbabwe but if estimates are
correct then there are almost
4.5 million Zimbabweans living outside the
country out of population of 13
million people. Of the 4.5 mill, 500 000 are
estimated to be based in UK,
and the rest divided amongst South Africa, US,
Australia, New Zealand and
others scattered in various parts of the world. A
while ago Lance Guma of SW
Radio Africa covered this issue arguing that
Zimbabweans are found in droves
at musical concerts but a few would turn for
political meetings.
This apathy is not fueled by lack of
information about the state of
affairs in Zimbabwe, the internet is awash
with Zimbabwean news sites, but
rather on the short-term solutions to the
economic crisis that has paralyzed
Zimbabwe. Most Zimbabweans based in the
UK feel as long as they are working
they can sustain their families by
remittances of foreign currency. Its a
flawed view as it for starters a very
selfish solution, its has short term
gains as it cannot be sustained over a
longer period of time. Its a false
sense of security as it only addresses
immediate cash needs, for instance
you can send say £50 to your family, at
today's exchange rate its equivalent
to Z$22 250 000, it does not guarantee
service, if your beloved falls sick
they can afford the ambulance fee but
what of if the service is unavailable
as it is now in Zimbabwe you will have
to rely on hiring a local cab again
that depends whether they can get fuel.
While it can be argued but never
substantiated that the life will remarkably
improve as a result of
remittances from abroad it fails to address issues
such as lack of fuel, the
scarcity of basic food like maize meal, flour,
cooking oil, sugar, the
collapse of the health sector, the dangers posed by
water borne diseases,
the breakdown of urban infrastructure. There are many
websites offering
free-view decoder that picks up extra channels without the
need for
satellite subscription for your beloved to escape the boredom of
Zimbabwe
Broadcasting Corporation's propaganda but with sporadic electricity
supply
in Zimbabwe the flat screen TV you send them and the M-Net
subscription
might not be enough, you will have to look into sending them a
generator,
but then again with chronic shortages of fuel the generator might
not even
run. Remittances are excellent if there is a vibrant economy, not
when 90%
of the population is unemployed, inflation at unprecedented 8000%
the
highest in the world, add the current artificial shortages of basic
goods
exacerbated by terror economics. So the idea that I'm fine as long as
I sent
money to Zimbabwe should be dispelled here and
forthwith.
Whatever comforts that one can enjoy in the
Diaspora home is always
home. The fact that one day most of the people based
outside Zimbabwe will
want to go back home means that their contribution in
bringing change in
Zimbabwe should not only be limited to financial
remittances. The atmosphere
alone in most host countries should encourage
more Zimbabweans to become
political active; with the democratic freedoms we
should be seeing an
avalanche of activism. During apartheid the global
Anti-Apartheid movement
was a force to reckon with, it bothers me why with
so many Zimbabweans in
exile why we cannot emulate that and firmly put
Zimbabwe case on the
conscience of millions who in turn can lobby their
governments to help bring
change in Zimbabwe. While many arm-chair activists
are quick to analyse and
offer their punditry blaming Tsvangirai, saying MDC
has failed, the question
right now is not what others have done for you,
what have you done for
Zimbabwe?

ZIMBABWEANS have stopped
donating blood because the country's National Blood
Service Zimbabwe (NBSZ)
is no longer able to provide refreshments after each
donation, which are
also seen as an incentive.
The refreshments, usually biscuits and a soft
drink, used to be provided to
blood donors - attracting valuable donations
from young adults.
Zimbabwe is going through an acute shortage of food
products after imposed
government price freezes and a crippling shortage of
hard currency necessary
for imports.
Emmanuel Masvikeni, the NBSZ's
programmes officer, said they had not been
spared by the raging economic
crisis.
"We failed to secure refreshments critical after donors have
given blood,
and the country is likely to suffer a serious blood shortage,"
he said.
The blood shortages look set to restrict the country's health
services in
dealing with major crises like road accidents and women who
suffer
complications during or after delivery.
Masvikeni also
revealed the NBSZ had temporarily stopped importing Rhesugam
required by
pregnant women whose blood types fall under Rhesus Negative and
are carrying
Rhesus Positive foetuses.
The country imports the Rhesugam (Anti-D) from
South Africa but NBSZ said
they had cut deliveries owing to the
unavailability of foreign currency.
Rhesus Negative pregnant women must
be injected with Rhesugam within 48
hours of giving birth to a baby with a
Rhesus Positive blood type.
Health experts explained this was because the
body system of a Rhesus
Negative woman regarded a Rhesus Positive baby as a
foreign body and infects
the mother with anti bodies during pregnancy or at
birth.
"If not injected the Rhesugam," a medical expert explained, "the
infection,
which will remain in the mother's body, would not harm the mother
or the
child but would destroy all the children to be conceived years
later."
Masvikeni confirmed some pregnant women suffering from this rare
medical
complication needed urgent assistance.
"We are unable to
significantly help them at the moment. An arrangement we
have made on their
behalf is that patients or hospitals requiring Rhesugam
should obtain a Pro
Forma invoice from us. They will then make payments to
the suppliers in
South Africa through their bank," he said.
Without disclosing the exact
amount the product costs, Masvikeni said upon
admission of proof of such
payment, NBSZ would provide the product as soon
as it is shipped from South
Africa.
Zimbabwe is in its eight year of recession marked by rampant
inflation,
officially pegged at close to 7000%.
President Robert
Mugabe's government refuses to accept blame for the
economic collapse,
pointing at what it claims are economic sanctions imposed
by Western
countries.
His critics, however, say corruption, uncontrolled expenditure
and a chaotic
seizure of commercial farmland held by a white minority
conjured the
dramatic economic decline.

IF IT weren't for the fact that I was in Luveve,
one of Bulawayo's oldest
suburbs, I would have bet that I was in rural Lower
Gweru (Mziyathi) where I
come from.
It was around four o'clock on a
bitterly cold morning in March this year. It
was so early one could easily
bump into an old hag riding a hyena returning
from her witching
errands.
But it's not the witch that I am on about. Here I was being
nudged in the
ribs by the wife. It was my turn to make the fire. Excuse me?
Sure, you
heard her right, a fire, an inferno, combustion, get the
point?
You see, the power disappeared the day before courtesy of the
Zimbabwe
Electricity Sometimes Available (ZESA). As I cursed under my
breath, I
recalled that the firewood that I had dutifully poached in Inyathi
had to be
hewn, with a very sharp axe, an axe I was supposed to borrow from
the
neighbour two days previously and clean forgot!
Forget the fact
that I had to bribe the chap from the Forestry Commission
stationed at a
roadblock for the sole purpose of preventing people like me
from decimating
the countryside. He had flashed me a toothless smile (at
least we had
something in common) as he counted the sheaf of Zim-Kwacha I
had kept with
me just in case.
Who am I to fail to grease the wheels of a creaking
bureaucracy? The
swiftness with which he pocketed the money left me with
such admiration. It
gave the term "Chioko muhomwe,' new meaning
altogether!
But then I digress. It's early in the morning and I am
supposed to have
started a roaring bonfire by 5am, right in the middle of
urban Zimbabwe. The
kids had to have their bath and mealie-meal porridge and
happily be on their
way to school.
In the eerie pitch darkness, I
fumbled for the matches. I had to inquire
from the increasingly irritated
spouse where she last placed the box the
last time the power went out, only
a few hours previously.
'Its ZESA's fault, not mine,' I cursed under my
breath again.
At this rate, I was thinking to myself, I wouldn't make it
to heaven with
all this swearing. Yet again there is the firewood and the
very blunt axe to
contend with. If I was given half the chance to rename
this contraption I
would gladly call it a hoe, but we are supposed to be
cutting wood not
cultivating it aren't we?
After several back
breaking blows I had a few splinters that would at least
scare away a ghost.
Unfortunately these were not enough to fuel a fire that
was supposed to
boil, cook, fry and warm.
At least that is what the 'supervisor' thought
because she was standing
there with a very dissatisfied look on her face in
spite of my being
drenched in sweat, on the verge of the major coronary that
Dr Barnard warned
us about. Pity, the world famous heart surgeon could not
save himself. Too
much good living I guess.
With clucks of derision,
the wife takes over and in no time there is a fire.
Imagine, a few pieces of
the Chronicle newspaper (what else can one burn?)
and a couple of twigs then
she blows strategically under the billowing
amalgam. Then hey
presto!
It's not my fault that I am a 'born location.' The only fire I
could light
was the one we used to ignite some intoxicating grass that this
school mate
of ours used to 'borrow' from his uncle's stash. Don't look at
me that way,
all of us have our 'X' files. Even President Clinton said that
he smoked,
but take note, did not inhale! Who was he trying to
fool?
Bob Marley smoked, look where it got him! So did Peter Tosh, Mick
Jagger and
isikompi saseMasina. Yes, isikompi was famous all over the area.
Even if the
proceeds from his trade never lifted him above the one roomed
lodgings he
kept. Rumour has it that he had a massive herd back in the
sticks. I wasn't
convinced of this and always thought those who made these
claims were high
on something.
I digress. We are talking about making
a fire here. I think to myself, is
this we have been reduced to? I still
remember a certain politician who
belongs to the Party who once told me not
so long ago that we were lucky
that at least we got 'some'
electricity.
'Look at Nigeria,' he said with an air of self-importance,
'they celebrate
when they get just ten minutes of power!' I cursed once
again, that at this
rate, we will soon be celebrating the discovery that we
never needed
electricity in the first place.
Come to think of it,
there will be advantages of not having any power.
First, no electricity bill
to pay, so there will be fewer domestic fights in
the home. We are spared
from Dead BC (ZBC), so, little stress and less
likelihood of going the Dr
Barnard way (heart failure).
We become closer to nature having to take
long walks into the surrounding
bush to look for firewood. Who among us can
afford the firewood sold by
vendors? In fact at the way these guys are
making money, it would be prudent
for the power utility to diversify into
the lucrative alternative fuel
(firewood) market. Look at the empty
supermarket shelves in the city centre.
There is basically no reason why
they couldn't be filled up with firewood.
Talk about empty shelves!
Enough said.
The main problem with the fire thing is that you go to work
smelling as if
you just dropped off the Suka Sihambe bus from Majinkila at
the Renkini. The
only comfort is that you might not be the only one because
no-one is spared.
Even Mr Jones from Burnside is talking about having had an
early morning
barbeque with the family. What did you say - the generator?
Where the hell
would he get the fuel from? Remember that we were told that
the fuel is on
the high seas as we speak.
Then there is the lung
thing. Making a fire and hanging around messes up
your lungs, that is, if
you do it long enough. At the rate at which things
are going, we will be
making fires for a long time to come.
Don't ever fool yourself that SADC
will be there to give a standing ovation
when we go down the tubes. They
will be too busy picking up the pieces. That
is life my friends. There will
always be those who when you are on fire,
will be sure to pour more petrol
on you.
Unless, of course, you have been smoking 'something' for all
these years and
there is a semblance of a brain remaining, it is better for
you to get
regular check ups if you can afford them or if you can find a
doctor cheap
enough or better still if there is a doctor in the first
place.
Allow me to conclude this mourning with a definition of the word
'Empty'.
It is the feeling that one gets when walking into a supermarket
and there is
a howling wind blowing through. It's so surreal yet very real.
You sort of
half expect to hear that eerie whistling tune from that
spaghetti western
movie 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.' Then you curse to
yourself, 'What a
wonderful mess we have got ourselves in!'

Facing widespread popular disenchantment as the economic
collapse turns into
a grave crisis, President Robert Mugabe has once again
turned to the
liberation war veterans to shore up his support and, some say,
intimidate a
restive population.
Often deployed in the past as
administration shock troops, veterans of the
1980s war against colonial,
white-ruled Rhodesia, have called a solidarity
march on Wednesday in Harare
and urged ZANU-PF loyalists to assemble at the
party's
headquarters.
Joseph Chinotimba, vice president of the Zimbabwe National
Liberation War
Veterans Association, said the group backs the president and
approves of his
policies.
Analysts warn this show of support suggests
campaigning for next year's
presidential and general elections, could be
starting to turn in a more
violent direction.
ZANU-PF has yet to
formally endorse Mr. Mugabe as its presidential candidate
and factionalism
in the party is intensifying, source say, noting that the
question could be
definitively resolved at an extraordinary party conference
in
December.
Mr. Mugabe and his government have come under mounting and
intense pressure
as the economy's already clear collapse has alarmingly
accelerated. The
state-controlled Herald newspaper reported earlier this
week that the three
state-operated fertilizer manufacturers have shut down,
boding ill for the
planting season coming up.
Harare's offensive
against high prices has worsened shortages of food and
fuel and caused yet
another wave of business shutdowns, emigrations or
cutbacks.
Harare,
Bulawayo and most other cities are suffering from chronic water
shortages,
raising the specter of disease outbreaks. International Crisis
Group senior
analyst Sydney Masamvu told reporter Blessing Zulu of VOA's
Studio 7 for
Zimbabwe that Mr. Mugabe could be a tough sell for ZANU-PF in
next year's
presidential ballot.
Elsewhere, reflecting the mounting crisis that has
already driven millions
abroad, the International Organization for Migration
said more than 102,000
Zimbabweans were deported from South Africa between
January and June of this
year.
IOM spokeswoman Erin Foster added that
the United Nations organization has
been receiving some 17,000 deportees a
month at its Beitbridge reception
center.

ZIMBABWE has spent thousands of
United States dollars acquiring luxurious
Mazda 3 vehicles for army and
police chiefs, at a time when the country has
no foreign currency for
essentials such as drugs, it has emerged.
Sources confirmed that the
government two weeks ago took delivery of 10
Mazda 3s from dealer Puzey and
Payne for the army, while a similar
consignment was bought earlier for the
police.
An official at Puzey and Payne said that each Mazda 3 cost US$16
607, plus a
Zimbabwe dollar top up of $200 million.
Police chiefs
have of late been spotted cruising in the sporty Mazda 3,
while the ones for
army chiefs have not been seen in public.
Military sources said the
vehicles were still being fitted with extra
accessories such as CD players
before they could be issued out.
"It's only a matter of days. They have
been delivered and technicians are
working on the accessories," said a
military source.
In addition, the army chefs have Toyota Prados and
Mercedes Benz, depending
on their ranks.
Meanwhile, the government
has acquired hundreds of Toyota Yaris for the
Central Intelligence
Organisation (CIO). CIO agents have been seen driving
around in the brand
new cars. It is believed that their bosses got the Mazda
3s
also.
Critics say President Robert Mugabe's regime is splashing resources
on the
security agents to appease them in view of the economic crisis and
rising
political tensions ahead of next year's polls.
The army
remains President Mugabe's center of power.

HARARE - A top ally of President Robert Mugabe last weekend
handed $300
million to Roman Catholic Church women she said was donated by
the
Zimbabwean leader to help the women start income generating
projects.
Head of the women's wing in Mugabe's ruling ZANU PF party Oppah
Muchinguri
also donated $20 million of her own money to the church's Marian
Association, which met at the Harare Polytechnic from Thursday to
Sunday.
Muchinguri, who is also Minister of Women Affairs, Gender and
Community
Development in Mugabe's Cabinet, was not immediately available for
comment
on the matter with aides at her office saying she was too busy to
take calls
from the media.
Mugabe's spokesman George Charamba was
also not available for comment on the
matter.
But senior Bishop
Patrick Mutume confirmed the gift from Mugabe and said the
money would be
invested on the money market until a decision was made on how
it could be
best utilised.
"We have to meet at the end of September to decide on the
money. We have to
plan and see the best way to utilise it," said Mutume,
when asked by
ZimOnline to confirm the donation from Mugabe, who is also a
Catholic.
"The women are happy," added Mutume who according to witnesses
was tasked by
Muchinguri to oversee administration of the money which is
more than US$1
million at the official exchange rate of one greenback to 250
local dollars
or slightly more than a thousand American dollars at the
parallel market
rate of about 240 000 to the US unit.
Sources said
Muchinguri told the women that the donated money - which has
raised eyebrows
coming as the country heads for crucial presidential and
parliamentary
elections next year - was meant to help them start farming
projects.
"Muchinguri said the money would be used for facilitating
individual
projects . she also spoke about voting and urged women to vote
for each
other," said a source.
Zimbabwe holds presidential and
parliamentary elections next year, which
some analysts say could be the
toughest yet for Mugabe and ZANU PF, citing a
deepening economic crisis they
say has angered voters.
Mugabe regularly distributes freebies to voters
ahead of major polls in what
critics view as an attempt to curry favour with
the electorate.

MASVINGO - The Ministry of Agriculture has disbanded the Masvingo
provincial
Operation Maguta taskforce to pave way for investigations into
allegations
of massive looting of agricultural inputs by top
officials.
The taskforce, which was headed by Masvingo provincial
governor Willard
Chiwewe and comprised mostly members of the security
forces, government
officials and ruling ZANU PF party supporters, was
disbanded this week
following complaints from members of the public over the
way things were
being run.
Agriculture Minister Rugare Gumbo
yesterday confirmed the disbanding of the
taskforce set up two years ago to
boost food security in Masvingo.
"I can confirm that all members of the
Operation Maguta in Masvingo have
been suspended to pave way for
investigations," Gumbo told ZimOnline
yesterday.
Operation Maguta is
an ambitious government project launched by
Vice-President Joice Mujuru in
November 2005 to reduce Zimbabwe's reliance
on food imports and release
foreign currency to productive sectors critical
to the national economic
turnaround programme.
The country has suffered acute food shortages since
2000 when President
Robert Mugabe embarked on a controversial land reform
programme that
destroyed the country's commercial farming
sector.
Gumbo said a new interim committee was established to run the
programme in
one of Zimbabwe's food-insecure provinces. He did not disclose
members of
the interim committee.
"The decision to disband the
committee followed several complaints from
members of the public who felt
that work was not being done in a transparent
manner," Gumbo added without
elaborating.
Sources yesterday said some members the disbanded taskforce
were accused of
diverting agricultural inputs onto the black market where
they sold them for
a handsome profit.
According to sources, senior
ruling ZANU PF officials in the region abused
their positions to loot the
inputs while more deserving beneficiaries
received nothing.
"An
investigation team from the Ministry of Agriculture has since discovered
that some of the beneficiaries did not even have land while others never
used the inputs but sold them on the black market," said one of the
sources.
Chiwewe yesterday confirmed the probe but cautioned against
finger-pointing
while the investigation was going on.
"I am the one
who ordered that the whole taskforce be investigated . . . Let
the probe go
on and we will see who is at fault," Chiwewe said. - ZimOnline

HARARE - Veterans of Zimbabwe's 1970s liberation war say they want
main
opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai stopped from contesting next year's
presidential election.
The veterans, fierce supporters of President
Robert Mugabe and who will
today march in Harare in a show of support for
the controversial leader, say
they want Tsvangirai barred from the poll
because he allegedly called for
sanctions against the

chairman Joseph Chinotimba said the group was considering going to
court to
seek an order barring Tsvangirai from the presidential poll that
will be
held jointly with elections for Parliament.
Chinotimba said:
"We want to take him to court so that he will not take part
in next year's
election. He wants the best for whites at the expense of
blacks. That is why
he is in Australia now calling for sanctions."
The veterans' leader did
not say when exactly they planned to approach the
courts.
Tsvangirai,
whose trip to Australia this week has been reported by state
media as a
"heightening of his campaign for illegal regime change", poses
the greatest
threat to Mugabe's bid for re-election although analysts say
divisions in
the opposition movement greatly limits its potency against the
83-year old
President.
MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa dismissed Chinotimba's calls for
Tsvangirai to
be barred from next year's presidential race as childish and
motivated by
ignorance.
He said: "The majority of genuine war
veterans and Zimbabweans in general
understand that the person at the centre
of our agony, suffering and
misfortune is none other than the man at the
helm of the regime, Robert
Mugabe.
"Mugabe is the number one sanction
against the people of Zimbabwe, including
the innocent Joseph
Chinotimba."
War veterans have routinely waged violence and terror
against the opposition
at every election to ensure victory for Mugabe and
his ruling ZANU PF party.
The ex-combatants also spearheaded the
government's controversial land
reform programme touted by Mugabe as his
administration's best achievement
since coming to power in 1980 but blamed
by critics for destroying the
mainstay agricultural sector and causing food
shortages.
Mugabe, who is patron of the veterans, is today expected to
address the
former fighters at ZANU PF headquarters in Harare.

HARARE - The trial of a Zimbabwean journalist accused of
working without
accreditation from the Media and Information Commission
(MIC) was yesterday
postponed to Thursday after the police failed to turn
up.
The journalist, Gift Phiri, is being charged with contravening a
section of
the tough Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act
(AIPPA) that
requires journalists to be registered with commission in order
to practise
in Zimbabwe.
Phiri's lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa, told
ZimOnline yesterday that the trial
might resume on Thursday this
week.
"The state's main witnesses - the police - who have evidence from
the Media
and Information Commission did not show up leading the prosecutor
to push
the trial to Thursday," said Mtetwa.
"They are obviously
ashamed of what they did to Phiri - they assaulted him.
And anyone who comes
is likely to be one of the assailants. We have a
medical report that shows
the extent of his injuries," she added.
Phiri is being accused of writing
for the United Kingdom-based The
Zimbabwean weekly newspaper between August
2006 and April 2007. He is
denying the charge.
At the start of the
trial on Monday, the defence team of Mtetwa, Harrison
Nkomo and
MISA-Zimbabwe legal officer Wilbert Mandinde raised the
outstanding probe
into the torture and detention of Phiri as demanded by the
remand
court.
Phiri was allegedly severely tortured by the police while in
police custody
following his arrest in Harare on 1 April
2007.
Magistrate Stanley Chimedza is presiding over the trial while
Editor Mavuto
is prosecuting.
Zimbabwe has some of the harshest media
laws in the world that have seen at
least a hundred journalists being
arrested over the past four years for
allegedly violating the media
laws.
Scores of journalists have been dragged before the courts during
the same
period for violating the Press laws. - ZimOnline
