Let the games begin.#OPINION: TUNGWARARA OWES ME MONEY - MLISWA

BY TEMBA MLISWA

@chrissy10charu I don't hear my name in that video and out of the nearly 20 million Zimbabweans for you to zero in on me means he has told you that or you have alternative evidence that he is referring to me. In the case that you are posturing for your next meal, as someone on his payroll, I would warn you to immediately desist from this reckless action and withdraw that dafamatory accusation otherwise I will pursue you through litigation.

I'm a clean straightforward person and despite all these constant accusations of extortion no one has ever come forward as a victim because there are none! I made my money through tobacco long before many realised how lucrative it is and have been involved in myriad consultancy projects. I have several investments and on top of that I'm a farmer empowered through the Land Reform Program.

I have no need to extort anyone or pander to the whims of any individual. I'm away on holiday, as he well knows, but I'm coming back topedzerana. Tungwarara actually owes me money, if you ask him. I also have the agreements.

Therefore, whatever association or alliance I maintain isn't premised primarily on money. Kuda Tagwirei is my personal opinion and option for succession as he has the necessary track record in the party. I have even stated the specific reasons. He is an experienced business person and I feel the country is at a juncture that requires that type to lead it instead of liberation veterans.

He was there long before many of you political delinquents; toiling silently behind the scenes, funding Operation Restore Legacy, supporting the party and even getting sanctioned by the West because of his support. Like some of us, he supported the President and the party when it wasn't fashionable unlike the whole lot of you preening about in cosmetic patriotism that is fuelled by selfish endeavours.

I'm not in Zanu PF and airing my views shouldn't be an issue with anyone there. No one can crucify me for having a political opinion. Don't contrive false stories of extortion as if I stole money from you.

Without stating my name in that video I could give him the benefit of doubt but if it is that he has outgrown his true status and thinks that he can use people like you and Tsenengamu to come after me then I can tell you are all small boys in these issues. Makauya nezuro mukadya cream of which yakukuzvimbirai manje. Makunanzva nepoto!

Some of us have been in these trenches defending and advancing the cause of ED long before you knew the alphabet of politics. Tabva kure nechinhu ichi and can't be startled by a political novice whose criminal record is only in hibernation due to congruent positive elements but is otherwise a tilt away from imploding. I could list a litany of cases and criminal allegations for which he has to answer but that's all in good time!

We have been with the President for long but have never abused that proximity because we respect his decisions even in appointments. That has meant the entrance of individuals like Tungwarara, political upstarts who have simply oiled their passage up the ladder using money. Otherwise in terms of real political capital these are juveniles.

You can't be empowered only to fight people whom you found holding the fort. What kind of empowerment is that, which unsettles you to attack even those who paved the ground for you?

I have warned Paul before that ZANU PF isn't a pet project like Tap and Go, which he can flaunt and frolick with massaging his personal moods. These people will eat your money and yet when the time of reckoning comes, unomira wega. There is no need to act like a virgin, excitable and giddy with unsapped energy. Dzikama.

Asi ndirikudzoka hangu!

Hit And Run Accident Attorney: What Victims Should Do Next

A hit and run accident can leave victims angry, injured, and unsure where to turn. When the at-fault driver leaves the scene, it may feel impossible to recover compensation. A hit and run accident attorney can help explore your options.

The first step is to call police and file a report. Give as much detail as possible, including the vehicle color, make, model, license plate, direction of travel, and driver description. Nearby cameras, witnesses, and businesses may help identify the driver.

Get medical treatment immediately if you are hurt. Medical records help document your injuries and connect them to the crash.

If the driver is not found, you may still have options through your own insurance policy. Uninsured motorist coverage may apply to hit and run crashes in some situations. Medical payments coverage or personal injury protection may also help, depending on your policy and state.

Insurance companies may still investigate carefully before paying. A lawyer can help file claims, communicate with insurers, and review coverage.

Hit and run cases can be stressful, but victims should not assume they have no legal options. With the right investigation and insurance review, compensation may still be possible.

Mesothelioma Settlement: What Affects Compensation in Asbestos Cases?

Mesothelioma Settlement: What Affects Compensation?

Many mesothelioma cases resolve through settlement rather than trial. A settlement can provide compensation without waiting for a jury verdict, but the amount depends on many factors.

A mesothelioma settlement is usually negotiated between the injured person or family and companies accused of asbestos responsibility.

No article can tell you what your case is worth. Settlement value depends on facts, evidence, defendants, state law, and legal strategy.

What Is a Mesothelioma Settlement?

A settlement is an agreement to resolve a legal claim. The defendant may agree to pay compensation, and the patient or family usually releases that company from further claims.

A settlement may happen before trial, during trial preparation, or sometimes during trial.

What Affects Settlement Value?

1. Diagnosis

Mesothelioma is a serious asbestos-related cancer. The type and stage may affect case value.

The American Cancer Society says pleural mesothelioma is the most common type, while peritoneal mesothelioma accounts for most remaining cases.

2. Exposure Evidence

Strong exposure evidence can increase settlement strength.

Helpful evidence may include:

Work history
Product identification
Military records
Coworker statements
Jobsite records
Invoices
Company documents
Photos
Union records

3. Responsible Companies

Some cases involve multiple companies. Settlement may depend on how many defendants are legally responsible and whether they are still operating or have bankruptcy trusts.

4. Medical Costs

Medical expenses can include:

Cancer treatment
Surgery
Chemotherapy
Immunotherapy
Hospital stays
Travel to specialists
Home care
Palliative care
Prescription drugs

5. Lost Income

If the patient was working or would have continued working, lost income may be part of damages.

6. Pain and Suffering

Mesothelioma can cause major physical and emotional suffering. Pain and suffering damages may be important in settlement discussions.

7. State Law

State law can affect filing deadlines, damages, evidence rules, and trial risk.

Settlement vs. Trial Verdict

A settlement gives more certainty and may resolve faster than trial.

A trial verdict may result in higher or lower compensation, or no recovery at all. Trials also involve appeals and delay.

A lawyer can help compare settlement offers with trial risk.

Asbestos Trust Fund Payments

Some compensation may come through asbestos bankruptcy trust funds instead of lawsuit settlements.

Trust fund payments are based on trust rules, exposure criteria, medical diagnosis, and payment percentages.

How Long Does Settlement Take?

Timing depends on:

Number of defendants
Evidence quality
Court schedule
Patient health
State procedures
Settlement negotiations
Defendant willingness
Trust fund processing

Some cases move faster than others.

Should You Accept a Settlement?

Before accepting, understand:

Which defendant is settling
What rights you give up
Whether other claims remain
How liens are handled
Attorney fees and costs
Tax questions
Payment timing
Impact on family claims

Never sign a release without understanding it.

Final Thoughts

A mesothelioma settlement may help families pay for treatment, lost income, and other damages after asbestos exposure.

Settlement value depends on medical proof, exposure history, responsible companies, and legal strategy.

An experienced mesothelioma lawyer can help evaluate offers and protect your family’s rights.
