Vice President Kembo Mohadi says the Zimbabwean government should set aside land for young people who are not beneficiaries of the country’s land redistribution exercise, which resulted in the forced removal of thousands of white commercial farmers from their prime land in 2000. Addressing members of the Zanu PF Youth League and businesspeople involved in seed production at the ruling party’s headquarters in Harare on Wednesday, Mohadi said youth need land in order to secure Zimbabwe’s future.“To government, to our ministries especially the Ministry of Lands … The youth that are here I’m told are missing from those that have got the land and those that can’t use their land adequately … You (have to) appropriate some land or give these yo

A senior United States official working in Zimbabwe has questioned development aid figures released recently by Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube in the 2020 national budget statement, saying the funds are less than what his country provided in the 2019 financial year. In an interview in Masvingo on Tuesday, Deputy Ambassador Thomas Hastings, said the amount of financial aid to Zimbabwe this year was understated by the government. “… They recently released the total amount of money that we gave in 2019, it was about $330 million. So, it was a bit more than it was in the budget report that’s the total amount that includes our work with PEPFAR (U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief), it includes work that we have provided this year for food relief, people w

Zimbabwe’s ruling party says some of its members are operating clandestinely for a Zanu PF faction known as Generation 40 (G40) in an effort to cause instability in the southern Africa nation, more than two years after former president Robert Mugabe was toppled in a defacto military coup targeting the group. According to the state-controlled Herald newspaper, the G40 members are conducting meetings at night in an effort to destabilize President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government. The newspaper quoted the party’s Mashonaland West provincial chairperson, Ziyambi Ziyambi, as saying they will expel any Zanu PF member aligned to the faction. “While our desire is to ensure that we maintain our support base and recruit more, we can’t allow forces that will dest
Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga yesterday revealed he was battling a disease of the oesophagus during his four-month stint in hospital. The disease made it difficult for him to eat as he could not swallow anything. He said this at a homecoming Roman Catholic Church mass held for him at his rural home in Wedza. His recovery, he said, was nothing short of a miracle. “I was telling colleagues that I spent close to six months without seeing the sun. I only saw it this last Saturday upon returning home,” he said. “I want to thank you all for your prayers. Those prayers made me to survive. “Since I started falling sick in October last year, there were not many who thought I would heal completely. There were not many who thought I would be standing before you
President Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday said the family of his late predecessor, Robert Mugabe, stands to lose more than 10 of its farms in line with the government policy of one farm per family.
