As football fever grips the nation, terror and famine in Africa go unreported

The Guardian UK

Scant attention to renewed attacks on white farmers in Zimbabwe may be explained by fascination for Africa's first World Cup

David Smith in Johannesburg

Sunday 13 June 2010

Terror returned to Zimbabwe's white-owned farms last week when supporters of president Robert Mugabe launched a fresh land grab. That was the claim of the Commercial Farmers Union, representing the remaining 300 white farmers still on their properties. It said a new surge of violence erupted on 16 farms with the looting of crops and equipment.

In eastern Zimbabwe, a black farm foreman was beaten unconscious and a farmer's wife was barricaded into her homestead and given four hours to leave, the union alleged. It said police had not responded to calls for help.

The attacks received scant attention in the international media, where all eyes were turned on Zimbabwe's neighbour to the south as it counted down to Africa's first football World Cup. Such is the intense fascination with the competition in South Africa that other African news could find it hard to compete. The Not-the-World-Cup agenda includes the Democratic Republic of Congo's 50th anniversary of independence from Belgium at the end of June, which will also signal the withdrawal of 2,000 UN peacekeepers from the vast country. President Joseph Kabila's goverment has expressed a desire for the rest of the world's biggest peacekeeping operation to follow sooner rather than later. But UN officials have warned that a hasty pullout could undermine humanitarian efforts and allow a resurgence of rebel violence against civilians.

The presidential election in Guinea on 27 June is unlikely to get much airtime against two World Cup second round matches scheduled for the same day. But the stakes could hardly be higher 18 months after a military coup that was followed by the massacre of more than 150 political demonstrators.

The coup leader, Captain Moussa Dadis Camara, was shot six months ago, leaving General Sekouba Konate to assume control. Konate insists he will not run as a candidate in the election, raising hopes of democratic new start.

Far from the joy and celebration of the World Cup, a food crisis is gripping Niger after drought caused crops to fail and food prices to increase by up to 30% in some areas. Nigeria is attempting to keep a lid on sectarian violence. Somalia's government, rocked last week by resignations, is clinging on against Islamist militias. Tensions are also rising in Rwanda ahead of elections in August. Human rights groups say president Paul Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) has become increasingly intolerant of dissent and criticism in the run-up to the vote.

Indeed, Rwanda's genocide remains one of the most notorious examples of the storms that can be unleashed when the world is looking away. An estimated 800,000 Rwandans were killed in 100 days from April 1994 – the same month that Nelson Mandela won South Africa's first multiracial election.

 


Church makes shipment of love to Zimbabwe

The State

Posted on Sat, Jun. 12, 2010

United Methodist activist works with First Baptist Church to fill 23,000-pound container with items to aid Zimbabwe

By CAROLYN CLICK
 cclick@thestate.com

Some people look at a map of the world and ponder how to fly from one point to another with a minimum of baggage.

Francie Markham takes the opposite approach.

The United Methodist activist has spent the past few years filling up huge shipping containers of donated goods — school supplies, computer labs, books, beds, fabric and clothing — which she has shipped off to the African nation of Zimbabwe in hopes of easing that country’s massive woes.

Last week, in partnership with First Baptist Church and dozens of volunteers, Markham filled her fourth 40-foot-by-8-foot container and delivered the 23,000-pound monolith to the Charleston port. This time, she hopes to be in Zimbabwe when it arrives in late July.

“It is already on the sea,” she said. “It left on Monday.”

By July 16, the container should be delivered to Beira, Mozambique, where it will be placed on a train for Mutare, Zimbabwe, where the United Methodist Church maintains a 117-year-old mission that includes a school, church, orphanage and hospital.

Markham, a retired Dreher High School English teacher and member of Trenholm Road United Methodist Church, plans to travel July 27 to Zimbabwe with her 19-year-old son, Aaron, and his girlfriend, Casey Edwards. This is her sixth trip but the first time she may arrive in time to see the container unloaded.

“I just have this feeling we will see it on the other side,” she said. “It would be so amazing to close the circle.”

While in Zimbabwe, Markham will work out of the Fairfield Children’s Home in coordination with Janine Roberts, a missionary. Markham serves on the U.S. board of the home.

The plethora of goods, including 212 oak chairs that were stored in the attic at First Baptist, will be spread around other parts of Zimbabwe to benefit many charitable organizations, she said.

With hundreds of dollars in donations that Markham has received in the past, the Zimbabwe Project was able to build a playground for a church preschool, help with school fees, provide items for a chemistry lab, and donate funds so that six teachers could complete their degrees at a teaching college.

Although the cost of shipping a container is steeped at $10,000, donations as small as $5 have sustained Markham in her quest to aid the people of Zimbabwe.

“Like I have said a thousand times, I’m a servant but I cannot do it by myself,” she said.

Little Progress to Note as Zimbabwe Unity Partners Report to South Africa's Zuma

VOA NEWS

Sources said a Tuesday meeting between the principals was tense and that Mr. Mugabe insisted he would make no more concessions until Western sanctions have been lifted and foreign radio stations ceased broadcasts

Jacob Zuma

The three principals in Zimbabwe's troubled government of national unity submitted a long-awaited report on the outstanding issues troubling their power sharing arrangement to South African President Jacob Zuma, mediator in the Zimbabwe power-sharing arrangement for the Southern African Development Community.

Political sources said President Robert Mugabe, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara met Tuesday in Harare to finalize the report under pressure from Mr. Zuma.

The sources said the principals failed to reach agreement on appointments of provincial governors, Mr Mugabe’s unilateral appointment of Attorney General Johannes Tomana and Reserve Bank Governor Gideon Gono and the long-delayed swearing-in of deputy agriculture minister designate Roy Bennett, treasurer of Mr. Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change formation. Cabinet and ministerial portfolio issues remained as well.

The sources said the meeting between the three principals was very tense and that Mr. Mugabe insisted that he would make no more concessions until Western sanctions targeting him and about 200 associates have been lifted and foreign radio stations - including VOA's Studio 7 - ceased broadcasts, as ZANU-PF has demanded.

So the principals endorsed only the points that party negotiators had already agreed, including media and electoral reforms, a national audit of farmland, allocation of ambassador posts and a budget for the prime minister’s office.

South African facilitation team member Lindiwe Zulu, an International relations adviser to Zuma, told VOA Studio 7 reporter Blessing Zulu that Pretoria is now considering the report before deciding the next step, which some parties to the unity government say should be a SADC summit focusing on the deadlock in Zimbabwe.

Harare-based political analyst Charles Mangongera said it is time SADC intervened as a guarantor of the 2008 Global Political Agreement - though it will be tough even for the regional body to come up with a solution.

Plot Thickens in Zimbabwe's Marange Diamond Intrigue as Kimberly Details Emerge

VOA NEWS

Sandra Nyaira | Washington11 June 2010

 

A South African report quoted Kimberly monitor Chikane as writing that a former senior South African police official tried to convince him not to return to Zimbabwe for a follow-up visit which he eventually conducted in May

Controversy continued to simmer around the tangled saga of Zimbabwe's Marange diamond field as further portions of a report by Kimberly Process Monitor Abbey Chikane of South Africa were leaked in the press.

One South African report quoted Chikane as writing in the report that a former senior South African police officer tried to convince him not to return to Zimbabwe for a follow-up visit which he eventually conducted in May. The monitor reportedly wrote the former police commissioner of Tshwane, Mpho Mmutle, sought a meeting in April.

Chikane was said to report that Chief Executive Officer Andrew Cranswick of London-based Africa Consolidated Resources also attended the meeting and urged the Kimberly monitor not to certify what Cranswick called “stolen goods,” an apparent reference to diamonds seized from ACR by Zimbabwe authorities in 2006.

 

Commenting on the latest disclosure, Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition Coordinator McDonald Lewanika said Chikane should not have rushed to recommend Harare’s certification under Kimberly to export Marange diamonds.

 

For his part, Mines Minister Obert Mpofu said Zimbabwe will go it alone if human rights activists get their way and Zimbabwe is refused permission to export diamonds from Marange when Kimberly members meet in July.

Mpofu said Harare did not influence Chikane's report which is said to recommend that Zimbabwe be allowed to sell its Marange diamonds on international markets despite some continuing problems in the Marange field. Human rights advocates say violations continue and that smuggling of diamonds abroad is rife.

One of the leading critics of Zimbabwean government policy in developing the diamond field, director Farai Maguwu of the Center for Research and Development in Mutare, Manicaland province, near Marange, was arrested last week on charges he published sensitive information prejudicial to state interests.

Maguwu was arraigned this week in Harare and remanded to police custody pending trial. Disclosure by Chikane to Zimbabwean state authorities of documents Maguwu had given him contributed to his arrest.

HR MONITOR OF CHIADZWA DIAMOND FIELDS FARAI MAGUWU ILLEGALLY REMOVED FM REMAND PRISON, TORTURE FEARED

Torture Feared As Zimbabwean Human Rights Defender Farai Maguwu Illegally Taken from Harare Remand Prison by Police. Lawyers Denied Access 

Prominent Zimbabwean human rights defender, Farai Maguwu, was last night taken from Harare’s Remand Prison under orders of notorious Criminal Investigating Department Detective Henry Dowa and removed to Harare’s Matapi Police Station, sparking fears that Maguwu is being tortured. His lawyers have thus far been denied access to him.

 

Maguwu’s lawyer, Tino Bere, was today launching an urgent high court application to secure access, explaining that he had reason to fear that Maguwu’s removal from the remand prison was for purposes of torture.

 

“We prevented Farai’s possible torture or harassment last week by being present at almost all normal times at the police station. We stopped the costly surveillance and visits because normally, once remanded, the police no longer have control or access to the accused.”

 

Maguwu had been placed in Harare’s Remand Prison after being denied bail in respect of charges that he communicated false statements prejudicial to the state.

 

The charges follow a police raid of and seizure of documents from the Mutare-based Centre for Research and Development, of which Maguwu is the director and on Maguwu’s home. Maguwu’s brother and nephew have also been detained.

 

The Centre for Research and Development monitors activities in the nearby Chiadzwa diamond mining fields, where government security forces moved in to secure the area following a property ownership dispute in 2006 and then forced local residents to work the fields under often brutal conditions.

 

Prominent human rights groups have alleged severe and recurring abuses, including extrajudicial killings, on the diamond fields and that diamonds are being smuggled out of the area with the knowledge and participation of officials. 

 

The raid and arrest warrant for Maguwu followed closely his meeting with Kimberley Process monitor, Abbey Chikane, a South African businessmen undertaking assessment of whether Zimbabwe has met the minimum standards of the Kimberley Process, a UN-backed initiative intended to halt illegal trade in diamonds.

 

Earlier this week, Chikane reported that Zimbabwe had met the minimum standards and should be allowed to export diamonds.

 

Said Nicole Fritz, director of the Southern Africa Litigation Centre: “That Farai Maguwu has been taken illegally to the Matapi Police Station and held in cells which the High Court has declared unfit for human habitation; that recurring episodes of torture take place within its cells; that he has been denied access to his lawyers; and that this has been done under orders of Detective Henry Dowa, so renowned for perpetrating abuses against Zimbabwean detainees that he was the subject of an international complaint while stationed in Kosovo under UN authority and so had to hastily return to Zimbabwe; warrants the most serious alarm for the safety and security of Maguwu.  

 

Fritz adds: “There is considerable irony in the fact that as Zimbabwe seeks to show that conditions have changed, that it deserves admission under the Kimberley Process, it makes clear how little has changed: human rights defenders and government critics continue to be silenced and persecuted. It is déjà vu again and again.”

The appointment of George Chiweshe as Judge President is one of the many true revelations that Mugabe and Zanu (PF) dictators are remaining firmly in place maintaining a monopoly on power and repressive practices.

 

With the announcement by the political leaders in Zimbabwe that general elections will be held next year, Mugabe is already ticking the right boxes on his ever growing list of defranchising elections.

The appointment of George Chiweshe, without the knowledge and approval of the MDC-T and MDC-M is evidence that the Government of National Unity (GNU) is a dysfunctional union that will never work as Tsvangirai is fighting democracy against dictatorship. 

Recent revelations claim that Police Commissioner Augustine Chihuri said he only takes orders from Mugabe and Johannes Tomana (Attorney General). MDC insisted on joint control of the Home Affairs Ministry with Zanu(PF), but Chihuri, a loyal Zanu (PF)  autocrat is obviously following the orders of Mugabe. 

The Zimbabwe Republic Police(ZRP) should be re-named  Zanu Republic Police due to its political bias, systematic violation of rights to freedom of  expression, association and assembly.

Zanu (PF) perpetrators of violence continue to roam free as violence against MDC supporters continues to escalate.

An MDC rally scheduled to take place at Hopley Farm on May 29 was disrupted by armed police. Later on, MDC Hopley Farm Chairperson Vengayi Chingorima was abducted at his home by nine Zanu (PF) supporters who included an army officer. 

 

Chingorima was brutally assaulted before he was left in a bushy area at night. He was threatened with death if he continued to mobilise MDC activities in his area.

 

In similar circumstances, MDC activist Aleck Rapera’s house was burnt to the ground by Zanu (PF) supporters. The case was reported to the police but no arrests have been made even though suspects have been identified.

In Harare, killers of MDC activist Gift Mutsvunguma were last month recruited as special police constables at Kuwadzana police station, leaving the community in shock. It is time we get a democratic country.

The controversial visit to Zimbabwe in April by the Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a unilateral desicion by Zanu(PF), a visit strongly criticised and boycotted by MDC-T. 

Ahmadinejad demonises the State of Israel and openly calls for its destruction at every opportunity. Most notoriously he described Israel as a “fake regime that must be wiped off the face of the map”. Surely birds of the same feather flock together. Mugabe is the biggest threat to democracy, and he will stop at nothing in keeping his grip on power.

In other areas of the country, Zanu (PF) launches operation chimumumu, a shona word meaning a dumb person. Villagers in most parts of the country are living in fear as violence has been unleashed ahead of the constitutional outreach teams coming to their areas. They have also been prevented from attending civic society meetings aimed at educating them about how they should participate in the constitution making process.

Villagers around the country have been instructed not to participate in the case that the outreach team comes to solicit their views. In some areas traditional leaders say they have been ordered by the Central Intelligence Officers (CIO) to bar civic society meetings in their areas. Following threats of being forced out of the villages or even death, villagers have decided to comply with Zanu-PF orders out of fear for their lives.

Even in a GNU, the corruption of democracy is escalating with the establishment of a dictatorship going stronger in many areas of the country. There is more terror ahead, but the fight for democracy must never die.

Zimbabwe to return to Test cricket in 2011

Associated Press

13 June 2010 (Johannesburg)

Zimbabwe will make its Test cricket comeback with a home series against Bangladesh next May.

 

Zimbabwe withdrew from Tests in January 2006 after being left depleted following confrontations between senior players and the Zimbabwe Cricket board.

 

Board chairman Peter Chingoka announced the return on Saturday during a visit by International Cricket Council president David Morgan and chief executive Haroon Lorgat.

 

"We will resume our Test commitments against Bangladesh at home in May 2011," Chingoka told The Associated Press. "We will then have gradual progression afterwards by playing sides we think we can compete with, like West Indies and New Zealand."

 

Chingoka also told The AP that Cricket South Africa has offered Zimbabwe a one-off Test every year, starting next year.

 

"We are indebted to Cricket South Africa for their continuous support," he said.

 

The long-serving ZC boss believes the Zimbabwe team will rise up to the challenge of Test demands.

 

"We are improving all the time," he said. "We now have a strong first-class structure. Our player base has broadened. With the results we've been posting, our players are beginning to show indication of maturity."

 

The ICC agreed Zimbabwe was ready to return to Test cricket after implementing the recommendations of an ICC task force which visited Zimbabwe in November 2008. Chief among them were re-establishing a credible domestic championship, elect an inclusive ZC board, and achieve better results in one-day internationals, Twenty20s, and four-day games.

 

Thanks mainly to gradual improvements on the political and economic fronts, Zimbabwe cricket has recovered, and ICC boss Morgan said the task force recommendations have been put into operation by ZC.

 

"This is my third visit to Zimbabwe and I take great pleasure in the number of smiling faces around Zimbabwe Cricket," Morgan said. "It is very comforting for the ICC to observe the improvement and success of the Zimbabwe team in recent months.

 

"It is also very good from an ICC perspective to see former players returning to the squad and also taking up support roles around the team. The recent results have been a good story for the Zimbabwe cricket team and the ICC is pleased to have played a part in that progress."

 

Former national captains Dave Houghton (technical director), Alistair Campbell (head selector) and Heath Streak (bowling coach) have been roped into the technical structures in recent months with former Test batsman Grant Flower also set to join as batting coach in September.

 

Zimbabwe received Test status in 1992, and won eight of 83 Tests.
