ZIMBABWE NEWS VOL. 27 NO. 3 -C lAi MM The Editorial Priests have nothing to offer THE Presidential Election Campaign for 1996 has shown a number of important facts to the voters. They are now in a position to know who to vote for on March 16 and 17. One of the salient facts is that the two priests are bankrupt of any ideas. They have learnt nothing from their political blunders of the past, and they continue day-dreaming, and playing with the people's lives. They should return to their pulpits to pray for themselves first, and then their folk. Firstly, the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole, has absolutely nothing to offer to the voters. His plan of establishing 61 governments in Zimbabwe is ludicrous. It could never work and the nation would simply disintegrate. His other plan of giving every person $600 per month is also ludicrous and impossible to implement Secondly, Bishop Abel Muzorewa, the promoter of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia, offered nothing then, and still has nothing to offer the people now. He proposed free education with monies he dreams to be in Switzerland. There is no money of any ZANU PF Minister outside our borders. We can show him their huge personal debts. You cannot balance the budget with funds that do not exist. The integrity that the Bishop claims to have is the one thing he does not have. None at all. Thirdly, these two priests were the promoters of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia government which betrayed our people and the so-called iternal settlement in 1978 which tried to undermine the liberation war. During their term of office, they did nothing for the black indigenous people. No powers were given to local District Councils or Chiefs by Sithole, and no free education was given by Muzorewa. We are glad that the two misguided priests have published their election manifestos and also that they have stated their policy positions in the mass media. Nothing new is offered therein. That explains why the broad masses do not attend any of their meetings. That also explains why they have no support. The agenda for the next six years THE agenda of the ruling Party, ZANU PF, in the next six years has emerged from the Presidential Election Manifesto, and the speeches of the First Secretary and President, Comrade R.G. Mugabe. In sharp contrast with the opposition paries, the programme is bold and imaginative. The picture that emerges shows that priority will be given to the following issues: LAND AND RESETTLEMENT: There must be finality on the question of the distribution of the land, and its efficient utilisation, Much land is being wasted, under-utilised, and even abandoned. There are many abandoned farms in the large-scale commercial areas of the country. There are also some commercial farmers who own too much land of several farms each. One Kadoma farmer is reported to own eight farms. On the other hand, there are many good communal peasant farmers who are crying for more land, and are able to put it to very good use of production. Therefore, the land resettlement programe will be stepped up considerably. Not surprisingly, the opposition paries have nothing or little to say about this very important issue. INDIGENISATION OF THE ECONOMY: A related factor is the distribution of the economic wealth of the country. The indigenous entrepreneurs will be given access to capital in the banks and pension funds, and they will be assisted to buy shares in key industries. The national cake should grow by at least five percent annually and the indigenous people should increase their share of it. There is no economy that can flourish and grow continuously when it is owned by foreigners. The new government led by President Mugabe will take steps to reduce and remove the imbalances in this economic sphere. WATER CONSERVATION: The severe droughts of 1987, 1991, and 1995, are indicative of the drastic effects in our region of the world climatic changes. Whenever these droughts have occurred, we have mobilised all our resources to feed our people. What is required now is a long-term strategy to combat droughts and poverty. High priority will be given to the construction of small, medium-sized, and big dams. As a nation, we should try to conserve as much of the rain-water that we get as possible. REDUCING UNEMPLOYMENT: The drift to the cities must be reversed by stepping up the development of the rural areas. Unemployment and urban poverty can also be reduced by building small-scale industries which absorb more labour, while producing local goods. The basic requirement is training and acquiring basic skills. Therefore, the new government will continue to invest heavily in the education and health of the young people. Demands from international financial institutions to reduce expenditures on these social services will be resisted. GOOD AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING: The long waiting list for urban accommodation must be eliminated. Those working and living in towns should have good and affordable housing of differing sizes. Rural housing should also be transformed from huts to brick houses, with corrugated iron roofs. High" priority will be given to the building programmes of the Ministry of National Housing and Public Construction. The formidable programme covering the topics above, and others, requires the support of every voter, and every Zimbabwean.O ZIMBABWE NEWS VOL. 27 NO. 3 Two'priests on a journey to hell! Dear Editor, The significance of this month's presidential election is the foregone conclusion made by every political analyst here and abroad that incumbent President Robert Gabriel Mugabe is facing no meaningful opposition from the two rival candidates. The universal question on every observer's mind is why there is no meaningful opposition to Cde. Mugabe's presidency? The answer to this question is complicated for those who want him out of office but very simple among all his legion of supporters. Among President Mugabe's supporters, there is unanimity of enthusiastic approval for his examplary leadership under all conditions of hardships, uphill struggles and trials because experience has shown that he is always with the people in the unshaken belief that victory is certain when he is at the head. The confidence of the masses in President Mugabe's leadership is rooted in their practical experiences under his wise guidance. in the minds of the masses, opposition to President Mugabe's leadership is the worst exhibition of opportunistic malice extant. In their conviction, President Mugabe is like Moses and his two deputies are like Joshua and Aaron leading the Israelities from Pharaohic bondage across and the Red Sea into the promised land of

  • Canada Sanctions Zimbabwe
    Canadian Sanctions and Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe: Be Very Careful! By Mark Blumberg (January 7, 2009) Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe need to be extremely careful. It is not the place for a new and inexperienced charity to begin foreign operations. In fact, only Canadian charities with substantial experience in difficult international operations should even consider operating in Zimbabwe. It is one of the most difficult countries to carry out charitable operations by virtue of the very difficult political, security, human rights and economic situation and the resultant Canadian and international sanctions. This article will set out some information on the Zimbabwe Sanctions including the full text of the Act and Regulations governing the sanctions. It is not a bad idea when dealing with difficult legal issues to consult knowledgeable legal advisors. Summary On September 4, 2008, the Special Economic Measures (Zimbabwe) Regulations (SOR/2008-248) (the “Regulations”) came into force pursuant to subsections 4(1) to (3) of the Special Economic Measures Act. The Canadian sanctions against Zimbabwe are targeted sanctions dealing with weapons, technical support for weapons, assets of designated persons, and Zimbabwean aircraft landing in Canada. There is no humanitarian exception to these targeted sanctions. There are tremendous practical difficulties working in Zimbabwe and if a Canadian charity decides to continue operating in Zimbabwe it is important that the Canadian charity and its intermediaries (eg. Agents, contractor, partners) avoid providing any benefits, “directly or indirectly”, to a “designated person”. Canadian charities need to undertake rigorous due diligence and risk management to ensure that a “designated person” does not financially benefit from the program.

  • Secondary School Children's Experiences of Bereavement: Implications for School Counselling in Harare Metropolitan Province By
    SECONDARY SCHOOL CHILDREN’S EXPERIENCES OF BEREAVEMENT: IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL COUNSELLING IN HARARE METROPOLITAN PROVINCE BY Jenny Shumba A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Faculty of Education at the UNIVERSITY OF FORT HARE Promoter: Prof. George Moyo 2011 DECLARATION This thesis is my original work. The work contained in it has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made. Jenny Shumba ……………………………………………………. Date: ……………………………………………………… i ABSTRACT Death and bereavement are prevalent in Zimbabwe due to HIV/AIDS and other illnesses. It is estimated that a large population of school going learners have lost one or both parents and have become orphans. The aim of the study was two-fold: to understand the bereavement experiences of orphaned learners and to examine how such experiences can inform school counselling services. A multiple case study involving 13 school children and four school counsellors from two secondary schools in Harare Metropolitan Region was conducted. Each of the 17 participants was viewed as a bounded case due to his or her individual unique experiences. An interpretive phenomenological approach was employed to collect and analyse the data. All the cases were purposively selected as they were bearers of crucial information on bereavement experiences and bereavement counselling. The study established nine (9) key findings. First, it was found that the type of attachments and support systems the child had were contributory to the way the child experienced bereavement.

  • Zimbabwe at a Glance: 2001-02
    COUNTRY REPORT Zimbabwe At a glance: 2001-02 OVERVIEW Zimbabwe will continue to suffer the most serious political and economic crisis in its 20-year history, and it now appears increasingly unlikely that the president, Robert Mugabe, will finish his current term which runs until April 2002. The EIU currently expects the MDC to call an extended national strike early in 2001, which will worsen an already poor economic situation and is likely to turn into such widespread protest that the president will be forced to resign. But there is a very real possibility that the protests could run out of control and turn extremely violent. Meanwhile the economy will remain in a steep downward spiral, with negative real GDP growth of 6.1% in 2000 and 3.3% in 2002, a huge fiscal deficit, rapidly rising inflation and a falling exchange rate. Moreover, the economy could be damaged in the long term as a result of the current “fast-track” land resettlement policy. The downward spiral is only likely to be broken after Mr Mugabe has left office, real reforms are introduced and external assistance is resumed. Modest real GDP growth of 1.8% is forecast for 2001. Key changes from last month Political outlook • The political situation continues to deteriorate as the government increasingly ignores court rulings. Economic policy outlook • The minister of finance presented the 2001 budget in parliament. It fails to address the real root of the huge fiscal deficit and highlights his political weakness. Economic forecast • The budget deficit for 2000 is now forecast at 28.4% of GDP.
