BY FORTUNE MBELE DESPITE scoring an equaliser for struggling Kaizer Chiefs to earn a point against Black Leopards on Wednesday, coach Gavin Hunt believes Warriors star Khama Billiat has room to do better. It was Billiat's first goal of the season, after another struggle last season under German gaffer Ernst Middendorp. Another Warriors man Ovidy Karuru caused a near upset for Amakhosi with a brace in his debut for Leopards before Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Billiat found the net for Chiefs to settle for a draw at the FNB Stadium. It was an important equaliser by Billiat for Kaiser Chiefs, who have failed to make a mark in the start of the 2020/2021 DStv Premiership and Hunt told Kick-off.com that it was a great goal, but he still expects more from Billiat. “Any goal he scores is a great goal, but there is a lot to work on, especially on his overall performance. He scored, he got us the equaliser, so we will move on and try and eradicate the mistakes we have made,' Hunt said. Meanwhile, Zimbabwean and Kaizer Chiefs legend Robson Muchichwa has told the same publication that Amakhosi's poor showing must be blamed on senior players. 'It's a pity Gavin Hunt could not sign players, but I hope that after December he would be able to sort out a lot of stuff. You know when you go to a big club like Kaizer Chiefs and you don't go with one or two players of your choice, it becomes a problem. That is what hit him (Hunt) hard,' Muchichwa said. He added: “I don't want to lie. I am disappointed even from last season with some senior players, whereby you end up pointing at the coach, saying the coach is doing this and that. You know, for me, Middendorp was sent off by the players – they are the ones who got him fired, because you can't tell me you win many games and all of a sudden, you’re stuck and then say the coach's tactics are not working. For me it doesn't make sense.' Chiefs have struggled with only one win, three draws and two defeats in the first six games of the South African top flight league. l Follow Fortune on Twitter @fmbele

BY MOSES MATENGA PARLIAMENT has summoned Local Government and Public Works minister July Moyo for grilling over the mass demolition of houses in Harare, which have brought President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration under the spotlight for human rights abuses. The august House, exercising its oversight function, also wants Moyo to give a ministerial statement explaining the rationale behind the demolitions. The also wanted a plausible explanation especially given that the demolitions were happening at a time Zimbabwe has received heavy rains and was in the middle of a major fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. About 200 houses were demolished by the City of Harare City in Budiriro, Harare, after the local authority obtained a High Court order to destroy the structures arguing they were illegally erected. The demolitions attracted censure from the civil society, opposition political parties and other stakeholders who questioned the timing of the move. Pictures of people braving the heavy rains, which included women and children crying and men battling to salvage and secure their belongings exposed to the vagaries of the weather, went viral on social media, triggering an outpour of sympathy. Some of the pictures showed furniture strewn all over in the mud, with only a few people having managed to ferry their property to safer places. Opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa, who visited the area on Thursday, described the demolitions as “callous, disproportionate and inhumane”. Parliament is keen to establish why the government allowed the demolitions to proceed in the current unfavourable weather conditions that have left thousands of people, mainly children exposed. The affected residents under the Tembwe Housing co-operative, chaired by a Zanu PF official and 2018 losing candidate in the party primary elections Caleb Kadye, were left to face the rains and exposed to waterborne diseases at a time COVID-19 cases were also soaring. Mbizo MP Settlement Chikwinya demanded answers on Thursday on why the government was allowing that to happen. “However, in respect of Section 51 of our Constitution which provides for human dignity and Section 52 of the Constitution which provides for personal security, I implore the Government to properly consider its timing when demolishing illegal houses,” Chikwinya said. “Just yesterday (Wednesday), illegal settlements in Budiriro were destroyed amidst rainfall and bad weather. My call today and my prayer is that yes, whilst the laws may provide that the houses are illegal, I implore the executive to consider the timing of destroying such in respect of human dignity and personal security.” Ironically, Chikwinya said, the demolitions came on the day Zimbabwe joined the rest of the world in commemorating International Human Rights Day. He said the demolitions were a violation of people’s rights and dignity especially coming when the government has not provided an alternative. “Zimbabwe having enacted the new Constitution in 2013 enacted Section 44 of that Constitution that provid
