Employees at Prospect Lithium Zimbabwe (PLZ) in Goromonzi are facing salary delays due to the freezing of the company’s bank accounts by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ). The Chinese-run lithium mining company has been unable to remunerate its workers for their services in December. The company has promised that salaries may be paid between December 27th and 29th, but there is uncertainty regarding these dates.
Previously, employees received their salaries between the 20th and 25th of each month, along with hampers worth US$50 every three months, <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/rbz-freezes-lithium-giants-bank-accounts-employees-to-go-for-the-festivities-without-salaries/">NewZimbabwe</a> reported. However, the freezing of the accounts has also affected the hampers, leaving employees without food for their families during the festive season. This has caused discontent among the workers, who are now unsure if they will be able to celebrate the holidays properly.
PLZ spokesperson, Rugare Dobbie, confirmed that there are issues but did not provide further details. The situation is even more challenging for the employees as over 100 of them have been informed that their contracts will not be renewed in 2024 due to the company’s financial losses. The decline in lithium prices on the global market has resulted in the company operating at a loss, forcing it to reduce the labour force by approximately 164 employees from January 2024.
The fear of contract non-renewal has created a sense of vulnerability among the workers, making them hesitant to express their discontent or protest against the delayed salaries. They are concerned that any form of protest may further jeopardize their chances of contract renewal.
PLZ, a subsidiary of Prospect Resources, operates the Arcadia Mine, which holds one of the world’s largest hard-rock lithium reserves. The mine was acquired by Chinese company Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co Ltd for US$422 million in 2022, with an additional investment of US$300 million to build a lithium concentrate plant. The plant began exporting concentrates in April 2023. During the construction phase, PLZ employed around 1000 workers, with plans to hire more as production reaches full scale.

RBZ Freezes Prospect Lithium Zimbabwe (PLZ)'s Bank Accounts

The Roman Catholic Church and villagers in Chishawasha, Goromonzi district, are involved in a land dispute after the church announced plans to evict over 200 families from their ancestral communal land and convert it into a church-run urban settlement.
The villagers have taken the matter to court to seek an order to stop the evictions that will affect seven villages under Chief Chinamora. They want the Jesuit provincial superior of Zimbabwe, Fidelis Mukonori, to transfer the title deeds to them after conducting land surveys.
Mukonori is accused by the ZANU PF leadership of working with high-profile party members who are part of the Catholic Church to unlawfully evict the villagers and divide the land into residential plots for resale, <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200020039/land-grab-exposes-zanu-pf-factions">NewsDay</a> reported citing court papers.
The land dispute goes back to the 1890s when the Chishawasha clan, also known as VaShawasha, was forced off the land by white settlers. The land was given to the Catholic Church as a token of gratitude for their support of the Pioneer Column.
The dispute intensified during the time of former President Robert Mugabe when the Minister of Local Government, Ignatius Chombo, ordered the remaining villagers to leave their land. However, there was a faction within the ruling ZANU PF party who disagreed with this decision.
In a letter dated March 9, 2021, the ZANU PF leadership in Goromonzi district accused some government officials of supporting the Roman Catholic Church, causing them to lose political support in the area. Read the letter in part:
<blockquote>
The proposed developments in Chishawasha have opened a can of worms and exposed high-profile people as you will find out.
Our Zanu PF party and the residents of Chishawasha need assistance from our leaders of the party since the urbanization issue wasn’t done in good faith.
The Jesuits formed a bogus Chishawasha Development Association as a divide-and-rule tactic, thereby offering a few rich selected residents with 99-year leases. The Zanu PF MP (Phineas Chiota) representing Chishawasha held a meeting with the Jesuits at Garnet House, thereby silencing the eviction issue facing residents around 2006. He instructed the Jesuits to leave the Vashawasha people with their land.
</blockquote>
Some ZANU PF officials have accused Fidelis Mukonori of using his influence as a renowned priest and confidante of former President Robert Mugabe to pressure the government into facilitating a land grab. The party alleges that Mukonori colluded with the then Minister of Local Government, Ignatius Chombo, to promote the Greater Harare project, which involved the government and the Jesuits working together.
The ZANU PF leadership claims that Mukonori and Chombo held meetings with village heads, threatening them with arrests for allowing new settlers in Chishawasha. They also accused Mukonori of misleading residents into thinking that the urbanisation scheme was genuine, only for eviction papers to be given to other residents. The local ZANU PF leadership has called on President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government to intervene and halt the evictions. Goromonzi district, known for its proximity to Harare, has been targeted by land barons and politicians for housing schemes.

Roman Catholic Bishop Mukonori Accused Of Working With ZANU PF To Evict Villagers

A 58-year-old man from Goromonzi fatally struck his daughter-in-law with an axe on the head before committing suicide by consuming a poisonous substance.
ZRP spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said Farai Rupondo of Njerere Village, Juru committed the heinous crime before taking his own life on Saturday, 13 May. Said Asst Comm Nyathi:
<blockquote>
The Zimbabwe Republic Police is investigating a case of murder in which Farai Rupondo (58) killed his daughter-in-law Maybe Boboneya (20) before committing suicide by consuming poison on 13th May 2023 at Njerere Village, Juru.
Farai Rupondo, who was armed with bottles, petrol and an axe, lit a thatched bedroom hut in which his son Shepherd Njerere (34), Maybe Boboneya and an infant (2) were sleeping in.
Shepherd Njerere was struck with a bottle on the face after managing to escape from the bedroom through the window.
The infant was struck with an axe several times on the neck, while Maybe Boboneya was struck with an axe on the head and left leg.
Maybe Boboneya died on the spot while the infant was taken to Shamva Hospital for treatment.
The motive behind this gruesome murder case is not yet known.
</blockquote>
Murder cases in Zimbabwe have been on the rise in recent years with the senselessness of some of the crimes raising questions about the mental state of the perpetrators.
Below are some general signs that may indicate a person is experiencing mental health problems:
<ul>
<li>Changes in mood that may include feeling sad or withdrawn for an extended period, sudden changes in mood or energy levels, or increased irritability or anger.</li>
<li>Changes in behavior which could involve changes in a person’s sleep patterns, appetite, or personal hygiene.</li>
<li>People with mental illness may have trouble focusing, making decisions, or remembering things.</li>
<li>Experiencing hallucinations or delusions such as hearing voices or seeing things that aren’t there.</li>

Juru Man (58) Murders Daughter-in-law

Police clashed with over 1 000 ZANU PF youths in Goromonzi on Thursday over the invasion of Lyndhurst Farm.
Several of the youths were arrested by anti-riot police, <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200006068/police-zanu-pf-youths-clash-in-goromonzi">NewsDay</a> reported.
The ZANU PF youths who had been promised stands by some ruling party officials allegedly decided to invade, illegally peg and allocate the land to themselves after the party bosses started dragging their feet on the promise.
The farm, Lot 1 and Lot 2 of Lyndhurst Farm is reportedly owned by one Maxwell Muziwi, a former top State security officer, according to sources.
The farm is adjacent to <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Epworth">Epworth</a>.
Disturbances at the property started early this week when land barons linked to the party invaded the farm and started pegging stands, courting the anger of Epworth squatters who were eyeing the same land.
NewsDay visited the area yesterday and discovered that stands had been pegged with stones and plastics. A police officer who requested not to be identified spoke to NewsDay:
<blockquote>
We came here in the morning as police and have been engaged in running battles with some people who were pegging stands at the farm.
Some Mbare people came first and squatters from Greenvalley, Pentagon and Epworth squatters were not happy because they felt that the land was supposed to be allocated to them. The invasion is just a political thing as we are going for elections.
</blockquote>
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said investigations were underway.
Over the years, ZANU PF party-linked land barons have been illegally parcelling out land to unsuspecting home seekers.
ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa in December 2022 dissociated the party from the land barons describing them as criminals abusing the party’s name.
ZANU PF has been accused of using land to get votes.
In 2022 ahead of the March by-elections, the ruling party<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/mnangagwa-promises-50-000-biometric-title-deeds-to-epworth-residents/"> promised to give title deeds to people who had illegally occupied land in Epworth.</a>
The residents in Harare South were later evicted from the Crest Breeders International farm that they had invaded. 
The Home Affairs minister, Kazembe Kazembe said the <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/informal-settlers-to-get-title-deeds-in-a-matter-of-time-kazembe/">government was still committed to issuing the title deeds</a> adding that it’s a process that takes time.

</blockquote>
There have been reports of assaults on MDC Alliance activists since two weeks ago when the party leader, Nelson Chamisa toured Masvingo and Manicaland provinces.
The party claimed that Chamisa himself narrowly escaped two assassination attempts allegedly plotted by the ruling ZANU PF.
Some political analysts are convinced that the attacks are meant to instil fear in the opposition party’s supporters ahead of the 2023 elections.

Goromonzi South Violence: Two Suspected ZANU PF Activists Implicated

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Goromonzi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Goromonzi</a> residents were reportedly left in awe at the opulence and extravagance exhibited by ZANU PF delegates at the just-ended Annual People’s Conference held at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Goromonzi_High_School" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Goromonzi High School</a>.
Latest SUVs and Ministers’ government-issued fuel-guzzling Landcruiser V8s were all on display during an indaba where “well-fed delegates appeared to endorse everything that was tabled before them without any questions”.
Speaking to The Standard about the absence of meaningful debate during the ZANU PF conference, a lawyer, Prayers Chitsa, observed that ZANU PF is cultish and debate is frowned upon. He said:
<blockquote>It’s a cult. It’s either you stay in by agreeing with everything, you keep your wealth, small farming land or vending stall or disagree and lose everything.</blockquote>
The delegates ate three meals a day, with close to 70 beasts slaughtered at a nearby farm and thousands of kilogrammes of chicken made available for the event.

This was revealed by Zanu PF Mashonaland East secretary for finance Munyaradzi Kashambe. Kashambe, who is also part of the organising team, said:

5 Tonnes Of Chicken, 60 Beasts, 80 Goats For ZANU PF Conference

The ruling ZANU PF has changed the venue for the annual conference from Seke district to Goromonzi citing budget constraints.
This year’s annual gathering will be hosted by Mashonaland East province.
Addressing a provincial co-ordinating committee (PCC) meeting held on Saturday in Marondera, party provincial chairperson Joel Biggie Matiza said:
<blockquote>We presented about four budgets with the highest going for more than $30m and the party said it was too high.
This year is characterised by massive hunger following a drought as well as things like the Cyclone Idai effects, hence the party channelled funds towards that.
Even if we are to raise the money it means we were going to host the conference next year.
We are now behind time, hence we looked for an alternative venue in Goromonzi, which is less expensive because of the availability of infrastructure.</blockquote>
Initially, the party had chosen Murape Secondary School in Seke district but later condemned the poor infrastructure at the school, the lack of a thicket to provide cover for security details, and the overhead electricity cables that cut across the school were considered a danger to the people.
Mandedza High School, also in Seke district was chosen but logistic challenges and other factors put paid to the two choices.
<blockquote>There was a need to widen the Harare-Wedza Highway from Chikwanha up to the venue to allow a smooth flow of traffic. This is costly and needs time.
We were expecting that the Zimbabwe National Roads Administration would chip in, but they have no money for such a project hence we moved to Goromonzi where we can only pitch tents.</blockquote>
