Swollen feet

Doctors have cautioned him on the potential danger of contracting tetanus from cuts to his feet.

POLICE officers have been implicated in the Zanu PF district co-ordinating committees (DCC) election rigging scandals in Mutoko East with allegations that they were paid to vote as party members. BY JAIROS SAUNYAMA In a WhatsApp audio circulating on social media, a female candidate narrated how some police officers were busted and they eventually admitted that they were ordered to cast a number of ballot papers in favour of Richard Musiyiwa (Mutoko East MP) who is eyeing the Mutoko district chairmanship post. Musiyiwa’s rival for the post is businessman Zano Kahuni. NewsDay was reliably informed that chaos erupted on Monday afternoon as members demanded transparency on how the elections were conducted. “I asked Musiyiwa how the ballot papers totalled 120 while each polling station was allocated 92 of them. A police officer has agreed that he was ordered to manipulate the results. There is need for the Mutoko East DCC election to be declared null and void,” the candidate can be heard saying in the audio. “Zanu PF is being dragged to the dustbin. If President Emmerson Mnangagwa loves us, he must send someone to put order in this area, otherwise in 2023 it will be chaos. About 40 youths were expected to vote in this election, but we are having results of the winner having 77 votes. Moreover, a total of 40 women were expected to vote in the women’s league, but the winner is emerging with 66 votes. This is chaotic.” Mashonaland East provincial police spokesperson Inspector Tendai Mwanza said he could not comment as he was not on duty yesterday. In Goromonzi, some party officials reportedly fled with ballot boxes while some disgruntled members inscribed the name of their candidate Bornface Mutize on the ballot papers as it was missing. In Wedza district, Zarnet boss Casper Chigwedere, who is the son of party stalwart Aeneas Chigwedere, made it into the DCC team. lFollow Jairos on Twitter @JaySaunyama

THE failure by government to approve a $2,85 billion Bulawayo City Council (BCC)’s 2020 supplementary budget has hit the city’s ability to provide efficient service to ratepayers, an official said yesterday. By NQOBANI NDLOVU Bulawayo deputy mayor Mlandu Ncube claimed the council was now unable to meet obligations on time. The $2,85 billion supplementary budget was proposed in September in order to hedge against inflation which had resulted in the rise in prices of goods and services. It was expected to be effected on November 1. In the supplementary budget, council proposed to raise rates and tariffs. Council justified the supplementary budget saying inflation was taking a toll on prices, interest rates and labour costs. “Failure to approve the supplementary budget is affecting council operations in a big way,” the deputy mayor said. “Firstly, we are failing to procure things we need to offer efficient services to our ratepayers. “Secondly, this is also the reason why we are struggling to pay our workers due to the delay in approving the supplementary budget,” he said. Efforts to get a comment from Local Government minister July Moyo were fruitless as his phone went unanswered. BCC is now proposing a $17 billion budget for 2021. However, Bulawayo Progressive Residents Association (BPRA) reje cted the council’s 2021 proposed budget, arguing that the process and content of the budget were flawed and did not meet residents’ needs. Council held budget consultation meetings via the WhatsApp platform, citing COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings. “But the process was dismissed by various stakeholders as discriminatory. BPRA in a letter dated November 4, 2020 addressed to the BCC rejected the 2021 budget proposal and raised concern that the WhatsApp platform did not give enough room for engagement. “We are of the view that the consultations were one-way as residents never made meaningful contributions. “The consultations did not afford residents meaningful room to engage. “Some BCC staff members including some councillors who were responsible for communicating with the residents in each respective ward group were failing to answer resident’s questions with some councillors becoming emotional and personalising the process to a point of exiting WhatsApp budget consultation groups,” BPRA co-ordinator Emmanuel Ndlovu said.
By SCOTT SMITH Associated Press CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's political alliance claimed a sweeping victory Monday in congressional elections boycotted by the most influential opposition politicians and widely criticized internationally as being fraudulent. The win gives Maduro control of the last major branch of government outside his grasp. It plays out in the waning days of the Trump administration, which leaves office with Maduro firmly entrenched despite its efforts to bring about his departure through diplomacy and sanctions. 'We have recovered the National Assembly with the majority vote of the Venezuelan people,' Maduro said in a […]
