Auxillia Mnangagwa grills Ministers Mavhunga and Kazembe as Mash Central province snubs her

Auxillia Mnangagwa grills Ministers Mavhunga and Kazembe as Mash Central province snubs her.FIRST LADY Auxillia Mnangagwa’s family fun day at Chipadze Stadium in Bindura on Saturday was marred by low attendance, amid fears that the event could have fallen victim to Zanu PF factional fights for control of Mashonaland Central province.

The programme, which had been scheduled to start at 10am, started three hours later with mostly schoolchildren and a few bussed Zanu PF supporters in attendance.According to ruling party insiders, the First Lady took almost two hours grilling Mashonaland Central Provincial Affairs minister Monica Mavhunga and chairperson Kazembe Kazembe behind closed doors, accusing them of failing to properly mobilise people for her event.“Mnangagwa was not happy with the attendance and she took Mavhunga and Kazembe to task for failing to mobilise supporters to her event.She allegedly fumed as she compared her poorly attended events with those of the former First Lady Grace Mugabe which were fairly attended,” the source said.

Both Mavhunga and Kazembe could not be reached for comment after the event. President Emmerson Mnangagwa has on two occasions cancelled his scheduled rallies in the province and has not visited the province since last year’s general election, amid reports of wide rifts emerging within the party’s top leadership.In her brief address, the First Lady said the event was meant to promote economic development through sport tourism and diplomacy.MDC-T MP praises Mnangagwa government's plan to impose stiffer penalties.PROPORTIONAL Representative legislator Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga (MDC-T) has welcomed plans by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government to impose stiffer penalties on rap_ists as part of efforts to deal with the crime.In his speech during the official opening of the Second Session of the Ninth Parliament on Tuesday, Mnangagwa announced that laws would be brought before Parliament to protect children and women from various injustices.

“The Prisons and Correctional Services Bill, the Child Justice Bill and Mandatory Sentencing for Rap_e and Se_xual Offences Bill, must incorporate acceptable customary norms, human rights standards and international best practice,” Mnangagwa said.In previous parliamentary sessions, female MPs advocated for stiffer sentences of up to 30 years or more, with some even suggesting castration.Misihairabwi-Mushonga described this as one of the most positive moves Mnangagwa has taken.“For me, what struck me most during the President’s speech was the issue of se_xual offences around mandatory sentences for rap_e.If that Bill is brought before Parliament, it will solve one of the fundamental issues around violence against women,” she said.

“Some of us (legislators) are about to leave Parliament and if the issue of mandatory sentences for rap_e is imposed, that will be part of our legacy if this is our last term because we have been advocating for that for a long time.“We have been waiting for this for years and nothing was happening. We proposed the issue of mandatory sentences for rap_ists during the late former President Robert Mugabe’s time and the law never saw the light of the day given the male-dominated systems of Parliament.”.Chief Fortune Charumbira also commended efforts being made to address the cash crisis in the country.Mnangagwa announced that his government was pursuing removal of arbitrage in order to address the cash situation.


“We are impressed with the delivery made by the President because he touched on core issues and measures that the Executive is taking to ensure that issues of the exchange rate that have been causing problems in the country are addressed,” Charumbira said.

He then castigated the stance taken by the main opposition MDC to walk out of Mnangagwa’s speech, saying problems in the country cannot be solved by demonstrations.“Problems cannot be solved by fighting. We attained peace by putting guns down and they must not play to the public gallery.Political parties should respect the President,” Charumbira said.

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...

The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
