Unesco rolls out climate change adaptation programme
Unesco has initiated a four-year climate change adaptation programme in Zimbabwe, focusing on sustainable groundwater utilization to enhance food security. The project targets specific wards in Matabeleland North and Manicaland provinces, addressing water scarcity issues exacerbated by erratic rainfall and poor water management. Local stakeholders, including villagers and officials, express optimism about the programme's potential to alleviate water insecurity and its associated social challenges, such as gender-based violence and early marriages. The initiative aims to protect groundwater resources and preserve wetlands, contributing to biodiversity and community resilience.
Borehole scheme props village business unit
The borehole scheme at Mudanda Secondary School in Buhera, Zimbabwe, is transforming the drought-stricken area into a greenbelt, enhancing food security and community development. The solar-powered borehole, part of the Presidential borehole scheme, provides much-needed water, benefiting over 2,000 households and supporting the school's financial stability. The initiative is seen as a relief amid the El Niño-induced drought affecting Zimbabwe and southern Africa, with hopes to reduce gender-based violence and improve livelihoods. Local leaders and organizations express gratitude for the project's positive impact on water and food security.
Nduna granted US$100 bail
Dexter Nduna, a ZANU PF resources mobilizer and former Chegutu West MP, was granted US$100 bail by the Chinhoyi High Court after being arrested for allegedly collecting parking fees illegally in Chegutu. The High Court overturned a previous decision by a Chegutu magistrate, citing a lack of compelling reasons to deny bail. Nduna's lawyer, Unite Saizi, successfully appealed the decision, arguing that the magistrate had misdirected herself. The State accuses Nduna of misrepresenting to motorists that his linked company, Team Chapter, was authorized to collect parking fees.
Hurungwe honey processing plant commissioned
The Hurungwe honey processing centre in Zimbabwe was inaugurated to enhance local livelihoods and biodiversity conservation. The project, benefiting over 700 rural communities, is part of the Zimbabwe Apiculture Trust and aims to promote sustainable beekeeping amid climate challenges. It has trained over 2,000 farmers and distributed 6,000 hives. The initiative, funded by the Zimbabwean government and the UNDP, is expected to improve nutritional balance and reduce human-wildlife conflicts. Key stakeholders, including government officials and local leaders, emphasize the project's role in stimulating the local economy and ensuring sustainability.

Zimbabwean lawmakers questioned Health and Child Care deputy minister Sleiman Kwidini about the government's response to two confirmed mpox cases in Harare and Mberengwa. Kwidini assured that Zimbabwe is prepared for mpox, with surveillance teams and isolation measures in place. He emphasized the importance of PPE over incentives for healthcare workers. The Africa CDC and WHO have declared mpox a public health emergency, with over 100,000 cases reported globally since 2022.

Tongai Namisala, acting secretary of Karoi Town Council, faces charges of fraud and criminal abuse of office, accused of demanding and receiving a total of US$53,700 from lead planner Marlon Mapika, who was assigned by the Local Government and Public Works ministry for Karoi's master plan. The court proceedings, led by prosecutor Reginald Chawora, revealed multiple instances of Namisala allegedly soliciting funds under various pretenses. Namisala, represented by Shepard Hokoma, was remanded out of custody on bail, with evidence to be presented in the form of financial records.
Nduna sent back to remand prison
Dexter Nduna, a former Zanu PF Chegutu West lawmaker, has been remanded in custody on charges of fraud related to the illegal collection of vehicle parking fees. The court, represented by magistrate Amanda Chamisa, cited the likelihood of Nduna interfering with State witnesses as the reason for his continued detention. Prosecutor Tafadzwa Vhore alleged that Nduna misrepresented his company's authority to collect fees on behalf of Chegutu Municipality. The case is set to continue on October 29.
Police nab Karoi’s acting town secretary
Tongai Namusala, the acting town secretary of Karoi, has been arrested and suspended amid ongoing investigations into a US$54,000 corruption case. The Karoi town council, led by chairperson Kudakwashe Chigumo, has appointed Engineer William Chikwanda as the new acting town secretary. The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is conducting the investigation, with more arrests expected as the case unfolds. The council has been plagued by corruption issues, with several cases pending in court.
Political polarisation is the big elephant in the room for Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's political landscape is marked by significant polarisation, with national ideology often overshadowed by party politics. The Hebert Chitepo School of Ideology is criticized for lacking a national character, being heavily politicized, and failing to unify the country. The article highlights the divide between Western and Eastern influences, particularly China and Russia. David Coltart, a veteran politician, is commended for his decision to delegate attendance at a political orientation workshop, reflecting the toxic nature of Zimbabwe's political environment. The text underscores the need for a cohesive national ideology, drawing comparisons with countries like the UK, US, and China.
Why Zimbabwe performs poorly on democracy index
Zimbabwe's elections since 2000 have faced significant criticism, with the 2023 elections receiving a failing grade from Sadc. The Sadc Electoral Advisory Council (Seac) plays a crucial role in advising on electoral processes and conflict mediation. Zimbabwe is characterized as an electoral autocracy by the Varieties of Democracy Institute, with low scores in liberal and electoral democracy indicators. The country struggles with issues like election irregularities, political violence, and repression of civil liberties. Despite some parliamentary opposition, Zimbabwe's political climate remains challenging, with high levels of political violence and limited freedoms.
