It seems as though at this point, Mzansi will no longer be taking any advice from celebrities because they say celebs set goals for people at an unrealistic age. Bonang Matheba is the latest to be slammed for her advice to young people by attaching age to various achievements. Last week saw Nandi Mbatha landing on the wrong side of Twitter with her advice that most 30 years old’s took offence to.

Both the ladies have been accused of speaking from a point of privilege as the reality of most South Africans is that they are poverty-stricken or don’t have the relevant resources readily available.

An old video of Bonang speaking at a seminar two years ago, posted by Innocent Matijane, saw an uproar from people who do not agree with B’s point of view. If you are 18 right now or 19 and you don’t know what you’re going to be or what you want to achieve by the time you are 24, it’s already too late. I am not lying to you. The future is created by you and planning minimizes the effects of life happening to you,” she said. She went on to say the future is planned by an individual so taking time with planning what you want your future to look like will delay your goals.

It’s true what #Bonang is saying though we just don’t want to admit it. pic.twitter.com/hx4Udddjbm

Dear Bonang

Cyril Ramaphosa became President at 66

Job Mokgoro became Premier of North West at 70

Winnie Mandela published her book at 77

Connie Ferguson started Ferguson Film at 43

The problem with people like Bonang and Nandi is that they speak from a place of privilege. Fact is a very small percentage of black people are going to make it to Bonangs level,most of us born in poverty will die in poverty not coz we are lazy but bcoz the system is against us.

Winky D named in the top 10 African dancehall stars. Winky D has been named in the top ten list of dancehall artist in Africa in the latest rankings done by Africa Facts Zone. The MuGarden hitmaker is one of the two Zimbabwean artists in the top ten. Winky D’s latest album Njema made waves across Africa in its early release days, stopping Amazon’s Dancehall category.

His song Chandelier spends weeks on BBC’s 1 Extra top 5 songs. It also went for 4 weeks clinching the number 1 post. He also in 2016 was named one of the best dancehall artists too. So this is not new to him. Check the picture of the standings below.  Zimbabwe’s own Winky D is rated in the top 10 list of the Best Dancehall Artists of all time. According to ranker.com Winky is listed better than Megastars Sean Paul and Sizzla amongst others.

Said ranker.com ‘Whether they’re Jamaican megastars or under-the-radar dancehall artists quietly putting out new songs – the top dancehall bands on this list have enough of a fanbase to sell out music halls and theatres around the world.

While dancehall started in the late 1970s in Jamaica as an offshoot of reggae, the genre saw a new wave of popularity come in when current crossover artists like Rihanna and M.I.A. introduced elements of dancehall to a broader audience of hip hop and R&B fans.

Government says 3rd force involved in the MDC officials abductions saga. Responding to the diplomatic community’s concerns over the abduction, torture and sexual abuse of Harare West legislator Joanah Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova, Foreign Affairs minister Sibusiso Moyo said the government was equally worried.

Government yesterday told the diplomatic community that it was investigating the alleged abduction of three MDC Alliance officials, indicating the State’s prime objective was to expose and prosecute the perpetrators or reveal the involvement of a third force.

Moyo’s response came over two weeks after the abduction, with several Zanu PF officials alleging it was stage-managed. “Government will, however, await the outcome of the investigation before drawing any conclusions.

Investigations will be conducted with the prime objective of exposing and prosecuting the perpetrators, if any, or exposing the involvement of a possible third force,” he said.

“The government would like to assure the public and the international community that it is taking these allegations seriously. These allegations are particularly grave in that they involve alleged violations of the rights of the girl child.”

Moyo said State security agents had started investigating the matter and at the same time investigating the circumstances surrounding the unauthorised staging of a demonstration during the national lockdown.

He further said some media organisations and the diplomatic community had concluded that the government was responsible for the alleged abuses.

Moyo, however, said the government would not ignore glaring similarities which exist between recent alleged abductions, which he claimed had hallmarks of a stage-managed theatre designed to soil the State’s image and divert attention from squabbles in the main opposition MDC Alliance.

The Foreign Affairs Minister further said that government was committed to upholding human rights as seen by the recent arrest of six police officers in Bulawayo accused of assaulting Cowdray Park sisters Nokuthula and Ntombizodwa Mpofu.

The three MDC Alliance activists claimed that they were arrested at a roadblock before being abducted at Harare Central Police Station by State security agents, who went on to dump them in Bindura after subjecting them to torture and sexual abuse.

Reports reveal that at least 50 human rights activists and opposition politicians have been abducted and tortured since President Emmerson Mnangagwa won a controversial election in July 2018, but to date, no one has been arrested for the offences.

Morgan Tsvangirai’s son rebels against Chamisa. Vincent Tsvangirai, son to the late MDC founding president, Morgan Tsvangirai, has reportedly defied Nelson Chamisa’s directive after he attended the National Assembly sitting on Tuesday.

This comes after MDC Alliance officials, who are aligned to Chamisa, directed their legislators to disengage from Parliament by boycotting all Parliamentary-related business in protest over the expulsion of four senior leaders from Parliament.

During Tuesday’s Parliamentary sitting, Tsvangirai was joined by other four MDC Alliance legislators; Constance Chihururu, Joyce Makonya (proportional representative), Winnie Kankuni (Sunningdale) and David Tekeshe (Makoni Central). Makonya told the Daily News that she was heartened by Vincent’s stance, saying he was defending what was right. She said:

We are encouraged by the coming of Vincent Tsvangirai. The son of our founding father knows what is happening and the right direction to take. He knows his father was for constitutionalism and he wants to protect what his father started.

Following a Supreme Court ruling in March which reinstated Thokozani Khupe as the acting president of MDC-T pending an extraordinary Congress, four MDC Alliance MPs – Chalton Hwende (Kuwadzana East), Thabitha Khumalo, Lilian Timveos and Prosper Mutseyami – were recalled from Parliament by re-instated secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora.

Vincent was backed by Chamisa to challenge for the Glen View South National Assembly seat following the death of his sister, Vimbai Tsvangirai Java, who was the sitting MP for the constituency when she died from injuries she sustained in a car crash.

There are rumours going on on social media that there might be trouble in paradise after Stunner and wife Dyonne Tanaka have reportedly deleted pictures of each other on Instagram.

The two adorable love birds might be heading for the end of their marriage which was born in a more scandalous way. They became popular after the singer had cheated his then-wife Olinda Chapel with Dyonne whom he later married and have a daughter together with.

So social media had lambasted at Stunner following chats of him and ex-wife Olinda leaked on internet and Olinda claimed Stunner was still contacting her and even making video calls together. This also contributed to the rumour with Dyonne removing Stunner’s pictures on her Instagram account. But all is well in the Chideme family as shown in the video below

Tortured MDC Alliance abductees charged over lockdown hunger demos.Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) members on Tuesday 26 May 2020 charged Harare North legislator Hon. Joana Mamombe, Cecelia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova with participating in a gathering with intent to promote public violence, breaches of the peace or bigotry as defined in section 37 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act and for contravening section 5(3) (a) as read with section 5(1) of Statutory Instrument 99 of 2020 of Public Health (COVID-19 Prevention, Containment and Treatment) (National Lockdown) Order, 2020.

Zimbabwean authorities on Tuesday charged three opposition MDC-Alliance party youth leaders, who are victims of abduction and torture, with committing public violence after they allegedly participated in an anti-government protest against hunger during the national lockdown period.

According to ZRP members, Hon. Mamombe, Chimbiri and Marova, who are represented by Jeremiah Bamu of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), allegedly participated in an illegal demonstration held on 13 May 2020 in Warren Park 1 suburb in which opposition MDC-Alliance party supporters allegedly staged a flash demonstration protesting against hunger at a time when the country was under a government-enforced national lockdown.

The decision to press criminal charges against Hon. Mamombe, Chimbiri and Marova come at a time when the trio is receiving treatment at a local medical facility following their abduction, disappearance and torture on 13 May 2020.

To date, no arrests have been made by ZRP of people who abducted, disappeared and tortured the opposition youth leaders.

Meanwhile, ZRP members on Tuesday 26 May 2020 arrested and charged Lovejoy Chitengu, the Youth Organising Secretary for the MDC-Alliance party’s Harare Province with participating in a gathering with intent to promote public violence, breaches of the peace or bigotry as defined in section 37 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act and for contravening section 5(3)(a) as read with section 5(1) of Statutory Instrument 99 of 2020 of Public Health (COVID-19 Prevention, Containment and Treatment) (National Lockdown) Order, 2020.

The arrest of Chitengu, who is represented by Gift Mtisi of ZLHR, follows that of Stanley Manyenga, the opposition MDC-Alliance party Councillor for Ward 23 in Harare, who was arrested on 20 May 2020 on similar allegations.

Manyenga, who is represented by Mtisi, is accused of participating in an anti-government demonstration held on 13 May 2020 held at Warren Park 1 suburb, where he allegedly carried a placard inscribed ” Unlock Us Before We Revolt”.

Manyenga is out of custody after he was granted bail on Friday 22 May 2020.

Ukhozi FM studios in Durban have temporarily shut it’s doors after Khathide ‘Tshatha’ Ngobe tests positive for the Coronavirus.

Tshatha underwent testing and received his results on the 26th of May. He informed the station this morning May 27 during his breakfast show, that indeed he tested positive and is in quarantine.

“I can confirm that I have the coronavirus. I did the tests because I was going to travel. But the place where I was supposed to go requires one to take the coronavirus tests. As a result I did the test and it came back positive.

“Due to the coronavirus I am on quarantine, I am working from home. Otherwise I had no symptoms at all instead I was doing a standard procedure. I can also assure the listeners that I am not dying and I’m not even feeling sick. I think I was lucky that I was diagnosed early,” he explained.

He works almost all days including weekends, leaving the SABC with the task of finding a replacement for the presenter.

SABC Spokesperson Mmoni Seapolela confirmed the new in a form of a statement to Daily Sun. Part of the statement reads: “The affected employee has been working on site since the lockdown and is now under quarantine whilst being closely monitored.

“As a precautionary measure and to ascertain the extent of the risk of exposure of other employees, the office will be temporarily closed.

118 returnees reportedly flee isolation. The southern African country has reported 56 confirmed cases and four deaths since the outbreak of COVID-19, and the majority are Zimbabweans returning home.

Nearly 120 Zimbabweans returning to the country have escaped from isolation and quarantine centres across the country as the government said they posed the greatest threat to efforts to curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus.

The country has been under lockdown since March 30, but has been gradually easing the measures to help revive its troubled economy which is struggling with acute shortages of fuel, foreign currency, food, electricity and medicines.

All returnees are subject to a mandatory 14-day quarantine, but some are reportedly bribing their way out or escaping from centres following delays in testing, increasing the chances of spreading the virus.

“A total of 118 people have escaped from various isolation centres throughout the country since the onset of the national lockdown. Some have been arrested while others are being sought by the police,” national police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said yesterday.

He said some returnees from neighbouring countries were using undesignated points of entry to avoid immigration formalities and quarantine. The number of people arrested for violating lockdown regulations is 41 738.

Health minister Obadiah Moyo told Parliament yesterday that the greatest risk for COVID-19 transmission in Zimbabwe was from returnees coming from neighbouring Botswana, Zambia and South Africa, now the continent’s hotspot with over 20 000 cases.

Moyo made the remarks when he appeared before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Health and Child Care which was chaired by Zanu-PF Hurungwe Central MP Doubt Ndiweni. Nearly 6 000 Zimbabwean migrants have returned home from neighbouring countries since the outbreak started.

He also told the committee that hotels and lodges were now being identified as quarantine centres in order to facilitate “some comfort” for those returnees who might want to be quarantined at better places.

“The majority of reported COVID-19 cases are the ones of people coming through as returnees and we have less local transmission, showing that our tracking systems are efficient,” Moyo said.

“Our biggest problem is returnees. That is where we are going to get a lot of cases from people coming from South Africa and Botswana, but we cannot stop them from coming back home.”

Recently, six Zimbabwean truck drivers tested positive at Chirundu Border Post while crossing into Zambia. Several illegal immigrants from Malawi have also tested positive in Zimbabwe.

“We discovered that trucks from South Africa would stop before the border and people would alight and cross the Limpopo on foot and then get back onto the truck after it crosses the border. Police also intercepted illegal immigrants from Malawi and some of them tested positive. They will be (sent) home,” he said.

Meanwhile, there was panic in Masvingo town after reports emerged that over 10 people could have tested positive for COVID-19 at a local quarantine centre, Masvingo Teachers College, with the government reportedly ordering retests.

health officials declined to comment on the matter yesterday while Masvingo Provincial Affairs minister Ezra Chadzimira disclosed to NewsDay on Monday that he had received queries related to the tests.

“I have had queries on that issue, but results from samples taken to harare are yet to be out. I am not yet briefed on that,” Chadzamira, who chairs the provincial COVID-19 taskforce said.

Sources said food shortages and overcrowding were threatening the stay of inmates, adding that they were becoming hostile and exposed to the fast-spreading virus, while those who had tested negative wanted to leave the facility.

Provincial police spokesperson Inspector Charity Mazula denied a standoff between health authorities and the returnees, insisting the police have always been at the quarantine centre guarding the migrants.

“There is no such thing. There was no noise at the quarantine centre. The police have always been deployed there to guard the returnees from escaping,” Mazula said. Masvingo provincial medical director, Ammadias Shamhu did not respond to queries sent to him.

Temba Mliswa: Parliament useless without Chamisa’s MPs. Temba Mliswa also said the Zanu-PF MPs must not celebrate the demise of their MDC Alliance counterparts and should focus on ensuring they demand accountability from the Executive as enunciated in their political party manifesto.

Norton MP Temba Mliswa (Independent) yesterday said the National Assembly would be “useless” without opposition MDC Alliance MPs, adding that Zanu-PF legislators were incapable of asking probing questions to their ministers.

This followed the temporary withdrawal of MDC Alliance legislators from Parliament after MDC-T leader Thokozani Khupe was given the green light by Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda and Senate president Mabel Chinomona to recall four opposition legislators despite that they were elected on an MDC Alliance ticket.

The four recalled MPs are Thabitha Khumalo (leader of the opposition), Prosper Mutseyami (chief whip), Kuwadzana East MP Chalton Hwende and Senate chief whip Lillian Timveous.

There were reports that more MDC Alliance MPs would be recalled, but the opposition challenged the recalls through the courts and temporarily withdrew their MPs from parliamentary activities in protest until the issue was resolved.

“I see that we do not have members of the opposition and you will appreciate that we are here on taxpayers’ money to maintain our mandate of representation and oversight. Mutseyami was recalled and he was chief whip and it is important for efficiency to have an opposition chief whip,” Mliswa said.

“If we continue like this, we will render this House useless. I do not know whether as the only opposition now, I will be able to handle ministers alone tomorrow (today), to ask questions during question and answer session because we know that MPs from the ruling party are whipped and are not capable of asking their own ministers challenging questions.”

Mliswa said Mudenda must allow him to ask as many questions as possible. Mudenda said the MDC Alliance MPs’ absence was a waste of taxpayers’ money, adding that “the missing MPs needed to be reminded that they took oath of office which obliged them to respect the Constitution”.

He said Parliament had Standing Rules and Orders which would be used accordingly if violated by MPs. Parliament rules state that if an MP is absent for 21 consecutive sittings then they can be fired from Parliament.

“On your observation that you are the lone opposition MP and, therefore, MPs from the ruling party may not ask substantive questions – why not wait until this happens tomorrow (today). To that extent, if your prediction becomes a reality, then you will be vindicated.”

In an interview with ZBC’s Classic 263, Taibu called for a change of Zimbabwe Cricket administration. Former Zimbabwe national cricket team captain Tatenda Taibu has made startling claims that he was offered money not to stand up for players’ rights during his captaincy.

“After seeing all these things that were happening when I became captain, I then made a challenge to the administration and said ‘look, my players are not being paid well’. There was not only one thing that I did mention, some of the cars that were being donated were going to the administrators when they were actually supposed to be going to the players. At the time we didn’t have selectors that knew about international cricket so those were some of the things that I raised.

“However, everything was just thrown aside and instead of fixing the problems that I was bringing onto the table, I was now being offered bribes. My money was offered to be doubled. At that time we used to be paid in US dollars for match day fees and in local currency for our salaries.

I was offered both in US dollars and for the money to be doubled; my wife was offered a car of her own choice from anywhere in the world. I turned all those offers down; I could not see how I would go on the field taking these bribes and looking at my players,” said Taibu without revealing who offered him the bribe.

He said all concerns he raised were not looked into and hence his decision to announce his retirement from the game.

“I then called for a press conference and announced my retirement. That didn’t make sense for someone who had broken a record, the youngest captain in the history of the game, someone who is being celebrated and all of a sudden I retire. Obviously people will ask questions. Obviously it reached certain ears and I got a call for a meeting with the Vice President at that time (Joice Mujuru).

She was very helpful and understood what I was saying. She then summoned me to Dr (Gideon) Gono. A week later I went to see Gono and we had a very good meeting,” said Taibu, who said his life was in danger then, hence his decision to finally flee the country.

He said the new administrators that came in did not know much about the game and when asked what he would change in Zimbabwe cricket, he said it will be the administrators.

“The issue still lies with administrators. I love my country and I see how cricket is going in the country. I am not really sure if it’s 2013 or 2014, the Under-14 team’s last 25 players had about 12 players from Chitungwiza. There is only one Secondary School in Chitungwiza with a cricket pitch. When I was in school, I got a scholarship so it was five of us that got a scholarship to go to a cricketing school.

“If there wasn’t that scholarship, Tatenda Taibu, Stewart Matsikinyere, Hamilton Masakadza, Vusumuzi Sibanda would not have been. That programme grew each year to a time where we had more than 50 kids that were on scholarship. Last year there was zero scholarships, so now I want you to tie what I am just saying.

If you take that group from Chitungwiza and say where are they because there is only one secondary school with a cricket field, those kids are probably lost right now because the scholarship programme is no longer there. So is it the fault of the players, the juniors, the juniors coach or its an administrative fault?” said Taibu.
