tokwe murkosi
The blame for the Tokwe-Mukorsi disaster lies squarely on the shoulders of the government. They managed to host the president's birthday party which costed them million of dollar yet they continue to ask for donors to assist them in this disaster. corruption continue to rise with government officials misusing the state money but these people can not be assisted.The government knew that on completion, Tokwe-Mukorsi Dam would hold more than a billion cubic litres of water and it would be disastrous to have settlements precariously near such a huge water body.
The government was also warned of the weakness inherent in the structure of the unfinished dam wall that would get worse during the rainy season. It was also clear to the government that one of the most basic precautions before the construction of any dam is the relocation of human settlements to safe areas. All these factors were ignored by the government.
Absolutely nothing was done by our government that prioritises political bickering over humanitarian issues. The government was very much aware that the bulk of these settlements around Tokwe-Mukorsi were located in the flood basin of the dam. What this shows is that the government has no concern whatever with issues to do with humanitarian matters.
What is also clear is that the government is not concerned with disaster mitigation strategies that reduce or eliminate risks caused by natural disasters.
It is ironical that one of the most common phenomena the government deals with in this country is flooding in low-lying areas. With such experience and a bit of hindsight, we should never have talked of the Tokwe-Mukorsi disaster at all. The government should be indicted for negligence. Even after the disaster struck, the government is failing to resettle the people because of lack of political will.
Don’t we have land in Zimbabwe? Of course, we have plenty of land lying idle. This was the opportunity for the government to show that it was serious in its desire to resettle needy people on good land.
But, alas, the government seems not to care at all. Someone needs to knock sense into our heartless government that we are talking about human lives. We are talking about families, about people who feel the pain of suffering.
We are talking about innocent people who did not request the government to build a huge dam in their area without disaster mitigation strategies.
Reports that Zanu PF officials want to take credit for the relatively little help the people are getting after the disaster only shows the extent to which the Zanu PF government is hard-hearted. It is a sick strategy really — having caused the disaster, the same Zanu PF people turn back and pretend to be Father Christmases for political expediency.
We say shame on them! Decisive action should be urgently taken before we lose lives at Tokwe-Mukorsi. The people have suffered enough. They have committed no offence to deserve such
nust crisis
The economic situation in Zimbabwe has become intense affecting a great number people espaecially those in the education sector. Sometime ago students received money from the government which they would use to cater for their fees but all is gone now and they have to find ways to pay their fees. However in order to keep universilities facilities improving they started to fund the universities every month. they have even failed to pay fees for those who are on cadetship. the situation continues to get worse when noe NUST lecturers are on strike and parallel classes are not allowed to class.Operations at these institutions have almost ground to a halt, to
date, no meaningful money has been released to support the day-to-day
running costs,” said Chombo.
Lecturers at the National University of Science and Technology (Nust) have abandoned parallel and masters’ programmes classes accusing the university management of failing to pay them for the evening lessons and diverting the money to cover other expenses.In protest, academics submitted a memo to management last week after they resolved to stop teaching parallel and masters’ students in protest over non-payment.
“Academics at Nust refused to donate their part-time wages to the institution. They demand to be paid their dues,” Nust Educators Association spokesperson Blessing Jona said yesterday.
“The institution should simply take its percentage from the revenue generated from part-time lessons and for them to take all the funds is unfair. The institution cannot survive at the expense of the people who offer the service that generates the money.”
Nust’s director of information and public relations Felix Moyo confirmed the strike that began on Monday.
“The allegation that the university’s administration is mismanaging funds is not true because there is no money to pay the lecturers since students owe the university $3,111,000 for the current and the previous semester, which is supposed to be used to pay off their lecturers,” Moyo said.
“Most of these institutions have choked up to very worrying levels of debt to their respective suppliers, especially for water, electricity, internet and food for students.”
Finance Minister Tendai Biti has said that the country’s financial position is desperate and nearly every ministry is affected.

economic situation affect masvingo residents
Authorities in Masvingo have raised the red flag after it emerged
cumulative debts owed to the cash-strapped local authority by rate
payers, among them state institutions, have surged to nearly $21 million
in a period of eight months.
The apparent reluctance by residents and institutions to honour their debts has forced the struggling local authority to impose water disconnections on defaulting households, coupled with a resolution to sue state institutions.
Water disconnections are being effected despite the evident threat posed by the recent outbreak of waterborne diseases in the transit city.
Minutes from recent council meeting have revealed the city is owed a staggering $20,9 million by rate payers, a situation that has greatly affected service delivery in the country’s oldest urban settlement.
It has emerged the major debtors include the Zimbabwe National Army, which owes council $5 million, the Zimbabwe Prison Service, which owes $1.5 million, the Zimbabwe Republic Police whose debt is $1.4 million and the ailing Cold Storage Company which owes council $1 million.
The debts have been accruing since June last year – just before the July 31 polls – when government, through the local government ministry, ordered the country’s local authorities to cancel all debts owed by rate payers.
The populist directive, which was viewed as an election gimmick by the Zanu PF wing of the then ruling inclusive government, further crippled service delivery in the country’s struggling local authorities.
Masvingo Town Clerk, Adolf Gusha said a debt of $21 million for a struggling city was too high, given that government ordered a debt relief to all debtors barely a year ago.
“The debts are still high despite the bills having been written off by government up to June 2013,” said Gusha, who added, “As council, we are now concentrating on water disconnections on all defaulting residents, while institutional debts are being handed over to debt collectors.”
Gusha said his council has since set up a debt collection task force, tasked with the job of recovering debt owed to it by government institutions.
However, Gusha said, the task force could still not recover the monies, something that has prompted the recent resolution to sue the institutions.
“We are failing to improve on service delivery within the city,” he said, “We want to improve the city’s sewerage and water works but we cannot because people are not paying their debts.”
Meanwhile, the city’s department of health, housing and environmental services has reported an outbreak of waterborne diseases, with 126 cases of diarrhoea and nine cases of dysentery being reported in the month of February.
Government argues any water connections would likely pile pressure on the country’s social services which would be responding to the resultant outbreak of waterborne diseases.

Fears abound the diseases may spread as city authorities embark on the controversial water disconnections to recover debts.
The disconnections however put Masvingo on a collision course with
central government which has continuously barred local authorities from
disconnecting water from defaulting households.Government argues any water connections would likely pile pressure on the country’s social services which would be responding to the resultant outbreak of waterborne diseases.

Zimbabwe minerals
There is a continuous growing number of unemployed university graduates.Zimbabwe is crying out for an industrialised economy.Raw diamonds are leaving the country to go and shore up the jewellery industries in industrialised countries.Our exportation of raw materials is depriving us of job opportunities.Who is to blame for the slowness of Zimbabwe's economic development?
mining companies such as Mimosa and Zimplants have promised to invest in establishing local enterprises.In a report by the Sunday Mail on 19 January 2014,there was an article which said that small mining companies should partner with each other to facilitate the establishment of cooperative value adding plants.
This therefore eans that minerals will be exported at higher prices while the mineral refineries will provide employment for Zimbabweans.
Zimbabwe does have the potential!

FINANCE
and Economic Development Minister Patrick Chinamasa has summoned senior
management of an international bank in the country to provide
explanation on why the bank has drastically cut its lending.
While Minister Chinamasa was not specific about the exact identity of the particular bank, he indicated it was one of the financial institutions between Barclays Bank and Standard Bank Chartered, which used to provide lines of credit of $800 million annually, but has whittled this down to $40 million.
He suggested that this could have been part of an exit strategy.
According to the Herald, Minister Chinamasa made the remarks during the two day beneficiation conference at Elephant Hills which ended on Friday.
He said he was in discussions with the International Finance Corporation, a unit of the International Monetary Fund, which had indicated willingness to extend lines of credit to Zimbabwe.
Further, the minister said he was negotiating with financiers from South Africa for lines of credit, but pointed out that in his discussions with the institutions he would seek to persuade them to lower their interest rates, as the 8 percent per annum they usually quoted are generally too high.
"They are saying they are prepared to assist us with funding but at 8 percent premium. That's expensive. There is discrimination there, because they are charging us a country risk premium.
"I've told them that you have no reason to lump us with country risk premium. We have resolved the most fundamental destabilising issue, which is the control of our resources. This has come at a great cost to us, but we are still standing," he said.
He added that South Africa understood Zimbabwe's political stability better than any other country, hence the call for non-punitive cost of finance.
Minister Chinamasa also said Government was willing to negotiate with mining firms on the issue of taxes on royalties.
"Let us sit down and agree. The lower the taxes, the better for the industry. We want to make sure we are benefiting from the depleting asset. Some of the suspicion we have is that some products are being sold to companies that are operating here.
"We are aware that we must not kill the goose that lays the golden egg, but the goose must not take with it the egg. Let the goose lay the eggs and the eggs stay in Zimbabwe. Let us understand each other (and say) how many eggs are being laid.
"I was discussing with my colleague about opening a special account where all revenue from mining and receipts from minerals. I am happy that they have pledged their commitment of this goal. We want a refinery, and in our discussions, I am told they are going to co-operate," Minister Chinamasa.
He said in the next five years, Zimbabwe should be ranked among the top five gold producers on the continent and should produce 50 tonnes annually.
"It is my ambition that in the next five years we should be among the top five gold producers in the continent," he said.
Minister Chinamasa said the country's infrastructure had essentially collapsed and he singled out the dire state regarding power, water supply, rail system and the country's pothole invested road network.
"First and foremost, our infrastructure has essentially collapsed. We are producing 1 200 mega watts against a demand of 2 200MW.
"There is no smoke coming out of chimneys in the manufacturing sector. Our roads and railways need fixing. Mining is the second most productive sector in terms of productive levels, but that's not happening," he said
He said of the US$4 billion national budget he presented in December, 73 percent of it was being spent in paying Government employees. - See more at: http://bulawayo24.com/index-id-news-sc-national-byo-43627.html#sthash.14A1N9HM.dpuf

"Mysteriously, gold will be appearing everywhere. As I was praying, I saw a wind blowing and I saw gold coming to the surface. People are going to be picking up gold without any drilling," Makandiwa said.

minister Patrick Chinamasa yesterday said only hardwork and commitment
would spearhead the turnaround of the country's economy and people
should not bank on miracles like those performed by United Families
International Church (UFIC) leader Emmanuel Makandiwa.
Speaking at the Mandel/Gordon Institute of Business Science 2014 Economic Outlook Symposium in Harare, Chinamasa said although the country had virtually been reduced to a "miracle society" where people now expected "quick fix" answers, there was need for hardwork.
"I am aware we have become a miracle society.We expect things to happen effortlessly without any effort on our part so, as a result, we are unable to contextualise in the physical world that I live.
"Things cannot happen until you put brick after brick," the Finance minister said.
"What I want to put across is that we have to learn in the physical sense not in the spiritual sense.
"Miracles happen in the spiritual sense, so in the physical sense we have to put brick after brick. In the physical sense, let's not be Makandiwa's followers."
