Farmers from various provinces thronged Mbare market today to sell their produce. The reopening of markets follows a directive by President Mnangagwa last week that farmers should bring their produce to the markets during the lock down period without hindrance, so as to feed the nation. It was a hive of activity at Mbare musika this morning with farmers trading their produce to the public. However, farmers bemoaned poor business saying most of their customers could not come to the market due to the lock down directive. “We thank the President for allowing us to bring our produce to markets. We sell perishable products and the lock down had affected us. “However business is low today. Our customers are locked in their homes. We hope the situation will improve as da
MDC-T secretary-general Mr Douglas Mwonzora yesterday claimed to have taken charge of the opposition party’s affairs and locked up the party’s headquarters, Morgan Richard Tsvangirai (MRT) House. This followed a Supreme Court ruling that declared Dr Thokozani Khupe the legitimate leader of the opposition and that the party should go back to its 2014 structures before calling for a congress in 90 days. Mr Mwonzora, who reverted to being MDC-T secretary-general, said he would reopen the offices after the 21-day lockdown. “I am the secretary-general and I am in charge of the day-to-day running of the party. I have closed the party offices up until the end of the 21-day lockdown. We have to follow the law,” said Mr Mwonzora. Responding to alleged threats fro
OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa has ignored the Supreme Court ruling and will remain focused on fighting the spread of COVID-19 instead of dealing with people in “political grief” after losing at the party congress last year, his camp said yesterday. There has been pressure on Chamisa to react to the Supreme Court ruling which on Tuesday ordered the party to revert to its February 2018 structures and that MDC-T leader Thokozani Khupe convenes for an extraordinary congress within three months to elect a new leader. However, the MDC Alliance leader has refused to comment on the matter since the Tuesday judgment. But the MDC deputy secretary-general Jameson Timba said there was no reason why Chamisa should comment on the latest ruling as it did not concern him and ha
POLICE have blocked officials from the MDC camp led by Nelson Chamisa from accessing the party’s headquarters in Harare CBD, with Chamisa’s deputy Tendai Biti blocked from entry while youths aligned to reinstated party boss Thokozani Khupe also attempted to take over the building. Biti was barred from using the party headquarters on Tuesday for his post-Supreme Court judgment Press conference, and instead held it at his Milton Park offices. Despite the 21-day national lockdown against coronavirus which is now on day 6, there has been a hive of activity around the multi-storey building located at 44 Nelson Mandela Avenue in central Harare, as party officials from both camps attempted to wriggle their way through police barricades. The fights for control of the
Komichi told Zimbolivenews that the Supreme Court ruling reduced Chamisa to a Secretary for Policy and Research in the party while Khupe was reinstated as the party leader and no person, including the Speaker of Parliament, would want to be seen going against a Supreme Court ruling knowing fully well the consequences of doing so. SPEAKER of Parliament Jacob Mudenda now stands guided by the Supreme Court ruling which cannot be contested by anyone, so much so that deposed MDC leader Nelson Chamisa can not recall any legislator from Parliament, Morgen Komichi has said. Komichi dramatically stormed back into top leadership of the MDC after the Supreme Court ruled decisively last Tuesday that Chamisa was illegitimate and ceased to be the leader henceforth. In came Thokozani Khupe, who
