Security men have arrest- ed more than 50 men and women, most of whom caught red-handed organizing major vote-buying oper- ations in various constituencies, with some of the oper- ations involving former MPs. The main bust was in Jabriya when detectives arrest- ed 36 Kuwaitis operating at a villa to lure voters to pur- chase their votes and seized large amounts of cash. The arrested people were reportedly working for a new can- didate, a well-known businessman. Similar raids were carried out on at least three more places and several people were also caught in the act. Security sources said that some of those arrested have confessed to organizing vote-buying processes. Arrest warrants have been issued against the business- man candidate and a member of the scrapped National Assembly, while reports indicated that police busted another ring buying votes for a former MP who is also a member of the scrapped Assembly in the Fifth Constituency.

  • Warriors Blunt at AFCON 2017
    The 50c Voice of the Labour Movement Established 1988 Issue No: 229 DEC 2017- JAN2017 R egistered at the GPO as a Newspaper Mugabe confirms Warriors government blunt at job cuts PAGE 7 AFCON 2017 PAGE 16 Health levy fund freeze exposes government’s poor planning - ZCTU BY STAFF REPORTER ILO mission he government has frozen effecting the five percent deductions on all Tairtime purchases because it has not put in place the policy and guidelines to ensure accountability and transparency. This was revealed by the acting Health and Child Care ministry permanent secretary, Robert Madyiradima, when he appeared before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Health. The freeze comes at a time mobile operators were forced to reverse a data tariff increase following a public outcry. Government was set to rake substantial amounts towards the heads for Zim health levy fund from the tariff increase. The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) had set floor prices that set data bundles at a minimum of $0.02 per megabyte but was reversed after government suspended the mobile data tariff increases. “The health levy of 5 percent per every dollar of airtime targets purchase of medical commodities, and the Finance ministry has informed us that it is not yet taking off, as they are still working on the modalities of collection and policy guidelines. It will only take off when Treasury has worked out the policy. The Health ministry is ready to administer the fund, but Treasury is still crafting a policy instrument to look at issues of how to collect the money, and whether airtime users should share the costs with network providers and issues like that,” said Madyirandima.

  • AFCON 2017 Hairstyles Fashion Identity Construction of Selected Players
    International Journal of Social Sciences and Management Research Vol. 3 No. 6 2017 ISSN: 2545-5303 www.iiardpub.org AFCON 2017 Hairstyles Fashion Identity Construction of Selected Players Osuanyi Quaicoo Essel Department of Art Education, University of Education, Winneba P. O. Box 25, Winneba - Ghana [email protected] Abstract Art forms play varied roles in the game of football. Of the art forms engaged during the game, one that has received little academic attention is the hairstyle of the players fielded. This article is an attempt at creating a photo-documentation of eccentric hairstyles of selected players and examines the use of these hairstyles in negotiating individual identity construction and as maker of self-actualisation in the AFCON, Gabon 2017. Descriptive research tool under the qualitative research approach constituted the research design for the study. Eleven players were purposively sampled for the study. In addition, forty-four (44) professional footballers were also sampled using simple random sampling technique. Instruments used in gathering data were photographs, observation checklist and questionnaire for the purpose of triangulation. Simple descriptive analysis and photographic analysis were the data analysis methods used. The study revealed that African football players use their eccentric hairstyles to construct their individual fashion identities, signal self-actualisation, become fashion role model to the youth, and eventually influence hairstyle fashion. Keywords: AFCON, African football players; hairstyle; fashion; identity construction Introduction Football is one of the popular games in the world and seemingly the most patronised competitive sports in Africa. Due to the popularity of football and the participatory support it receives in the African continent, other less patronised sports have been tagged as lesser known sports.
