As Chamisa's MDC summons council leadership...Water treatment begins at Morton Jaffray

The Nelson Chamisa’s MDC leadership led by the Secretary General Hon. Chalton Hwende and Local Government Secretary, Eng.Elias Mudzuri today held a crisis meeting with the acting Mayor of Harare and a team of his councilors to appreciate the water crisis in the capital city as well as the decision to shut down water supplies to residents..


The party was satisfied with the explanation given by the leadership of council that the city had run out of chemicals and could not afford to pump dirty water to the residents without risking a disease outbreak.The acting mayor and councilors also assured the party that they had run around and secured some reprieve for the residents when they accessed some chemicals.which are already on site to ensure that water supplies resume immediately, at least for a few days while a permanent solution is being worked out..

, water treatment has begun at the city’s water works and the precious liquid is expected to start trickling into residents’ homes by end of day today..It emerged from the meeting that central government is at the centre of the current water crisis bedeviling the capital city. Government is the biggest debtor to the Harare city council while.there has been no movement in the past 20 years in terms of the construction of the Kunzwi dam, which is expected to provide a permanent solution to Harare’s dire water situation.

The Kunzwi dam project has been Zanu PF’s campaign issue in every election since 1995 but to date, nothing has been done. It also emerged that government has centralized the procurement of water chemicals and every day,.council awaits to get the trinkets in terms of water chemicals as and when the scarce foreign currency becomes available at the central bank..The other challenge is that Harare City Council’s 2019 budget was pegged in US dollars and the government‘s decision to ban the use of hard currency has distorted the budgeted pricing system.

The move also ensured that the little funds now available in RTGS to council can hardly sustain critical operations such as water supplies, among other key obligations of council..So dire is the situation in Harare that council collects $15 million RTGS every month against a projected monthly expenditure of $45 million for water treatment chemicals alone.The $15 million RTGS is inadequate for water treatment chemicals, let alone other key obligations of council..

The MDC is happy that the Harare City council is working hard under the circumstances to ensure that residents get water, including ensuring.that water bowsers are provided in the communities and that the boreholes in the various wards of the city are working so that at any given moment, there is constant water supply to the residents..The MDC hopes that government will play its part in alleviating the crisis bedeviling the capital city by clearing its huge debt owed to council as well as providing a permanent water solution by ensuring.that the Kunzwi water project becomes more than an election message that is bandied about ahead of every election..

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

Grace Mugabe to make a graceful exit from politics

The future of former First Lady, Grace Mugabe, who arguably created more enemies than friends during her husband's last days in office, now hangs in the balance. The demise of the former president.Robert Mugabe, the man from whom Grace drew power and protection, leaves his wife now exposed. Grace, who during the greater part of husband's presidency had been focused on charity work, before later venturing into politics..With the support of Mugabe, Grace was in December 2014 parachuted to the helm of ZANU-PF Women's League, automatically qualifying to sit in the ruling party's highest decision-making body, the Politburo..The ex-First Lady then used her position and marriage to Mugabe to vilify all those she perceived to be harbouring ambitions of succeeding Zimbabwe's long-time ruler..She became literally untouchable with ministers currying favours with her to avoid being sacked by the President. The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
