The Ministry of Local Government and Public Works has refuted claims of interfering with the operations of the Mudzi Rural District Council following the suspension of Council Chairperson Arnold Katsande.
In a statement issued on August 15, 2024, the Ministry explained that Katsande was suspended for willfully refusing to cooperate with an investigation committee assigned to probe serious governance and maladministration issues within the local authority. Below is the full statement:
<blockquote>
The Ministry of Local Government and Public Works has noted with concern reports in some sections of the media purporting interference by the Ministry in the operations of Mudzi Rural District Council.
This misguided assertion follows the suspension of the Council Chairperson, Councillor Arnold Katsande.
The Ministry wishes to advise the nation that the suspension of the Council Chairperson was not done arbitrarily but followed due process in line with section 157 of the Rural District Councils Act, (hereinafter referred to as the Act) as amended by the Local Goverment Laws Amendment Act, 2016.
Further, his suspension followed the submission of a report by an investigation committee, appointed by the Honourable Minister of Local Government and Public Works, that unearthed serious governance and maladministration practices at the local authority.
In respect of the suspended Chairperson, he displayed utter contempt for the investigators and willfully refused to cooperate whatsoever in the course of the investigative process.
In such instances, the Ministry cannot just stand by and watch such truancy but take corrective action in order to preserve the integrity of the local governance system.
It is important to note that at the core of the Call to Action: No Compromise to Service Delivery Blueprint is the need for local authorities to strengthen internal governance systems which are critical in supporting expected service delivery levels that are in line with an upper middle-income status.
Hence, investigative inquiries of this nature are meant to assist in addressing deficiencies that would have been uncovered.
Nonetheless, the public is informed that the suspended Chairperson will be accorded due process in that an Independent Tribunal is already in the process of being set up in terms of Section 157A of the Act to determine his case.
The Ministry therefore calls for patience from the public while this process is ongoing.

Local Government Ministry Refutes Claims Of Meddling In Mudzi RDC Affairs

A family in Machipisa Village, Nechombo, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mudzi/">Mudzi</a> lost over US$10,000 cash to two armed robbers on Thursday 09 November 2023. A report by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) says the robbers were armed with a suspected pistol. Read the police report:
<blockquote>
Police in Mutoko are investigating a case of robbery which occurred on 09/11/23 at a homestead at Machipisa Village, Nechombo, Mudzi. Two unknown suspects armed with a suspected pistol and a stone attacked the complainant before stealing two cellphones, two helmets and US$10 649.00 cash. The stolen cellphones and helmets were recovered dumped in the yard. 
</blockquote>
The police in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mutoko/">Mutoko</a> are appealing to anyone who has any information about the incident to report it to the nearest police station.
Authorities often advise individuals and companies alike not to keep large amounts of money at home to reduce the risk of being robbed. In Zimbabwe, there has been a rise in armed robberies targeting families, individuals, and or businesses over the past four years. In response to this, the president has granted amnesty to individuals who voluntarily surrender illegally owned firearms. This is a measure taken to help reduce crime and improve safety in the country.

Mudzi Family Robbed Of Over US$10,000 Cash

A gold mining company in Mudzi has asked the Constitutional Court to overturn a recent Supreme Court ruling against it. The company claims the ruling was a violation of property rights and points to a number of issues with the handling of the case.
The case was brought by businessman Prosper Machekera, who was declared the owner of Radnor 58 in the recent judgement. The mining company, Milmath Security Private Limited, argues that the Supreme Court ruling violated its right to a fair hearing. Read court papers:
<blockquote>
The basic of the application is that on March 10, 2023, the Supreme Court of Zimbabwe handed down an order which violates the applicant’s fundamental rights and freedoms namely, the right to property, the right to a fair hearing and the right to equal protection and benefit of the law.
The judgment upholds a High Court judgment which deprives the applicant of its property, namely gold claims, for no reason.
The High Court judgment also reviews the forfeiture of the first respondent’s base mineral claims, which took place in 2007 in the absence of an application for review and in violation of the right to a fair hearing.
</blockquote>
Radnor 58 owns disputed gold claims in the Makaha area of Mudzi, Mashonaland East province. The case involves the provincial mining commissioner, Mines minister Winston Chitando, permanent secretary, and chief mining commissioner as respondents and has been ongoing for years.
Milmath Security Private Limited is arguing that the Supreme Court ignored the evidence and arguments presented by the applicant and based its decision on its own grounds of appeal. This violated the applicant’s right to a fair hearing. The High Court also granted relief to the respondent that was not mentioned in their papers, which violated the applicant’s fundamental rights, including the right to a fair hearing and equal protection under the law. By upholding this decision, the Supreme Court also violated the Constitution.
The company claimed that the judgment did not address the issue of mining coordinates for three mining blocks, which were awarded in the High Court and confirmed by the Supreme Court. However, these blocks are located three kilometres away from the disputed location, as defined by the undisputed coordinates on court records.
In his affidavit opposing the mining company’s application, Machekera claimed that the disputed gold claims belong to him, as previously ruled by the courts. He argued that he has been the holder of the mining rights since 2005 and that the applicant cannot make a valid claim to them. Madziwanzira, in his answering affidavit, maintained that the courts granted Machekera the gold claims that were forfeited.

10 Institutions Electrified In Mudzi Under The Rural Electrification Programme

A barber, only identified as Jimmy from Masarakufa Village in Mudzi, is allegedly on the run after he raped and impregnated a 13-year-old girl after she failed to pay for a haircut.
The girl is now six months pregnant.
The victim’s 39-year-old mother resides at Tagarika Flats in Mbare.
She recently told <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/barbaric-barber-rapes-impregnates-teenager/">H-Metro</a> that following the rape of her daughter, her neighbours are now accusing her of “selling” her daughter to men in exchange for money. She said:
<blockquote>
I have four children and this one is the third born.
The day she was raped, I left her at home alone and accompanied her father to collect rentals.
She visited a barber called Jimmy for a haircut.
On arrival, she discovered that she had lost money along the way, but the barber went ahead and cut her hair.
He later came to my daughter at night claiming he wanted to know if she had found the money.
He raped my daughter for the whole night at our house.
She only disclosed this after one of our neighbours detected signs of pregnancy.
I never saw any signs of pregnancy until her tummy grew and this has affected me so much.
People are calling me names when I walk with her.
I am afraid of leaving her alone now, as I fear that, maybe, something worse might happen to her.
</blockquote>
The girl’s father, and his younger brother, were reportedly against lodging a police report to ‘‘protect’’ the family’s name.

Barber Rapes Girl (13) For Failing To Pay For A Haircut

The skull that is suspected to be that of Juliet Chapfuruka, a 65-year-old <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/06/womans-headless-body-with-burn-injuries-discovered-in-mudzi/">Mudzi woman who was allegedly murdered</a>, was recovered on Monday near a shallow grave she was buried by the suspect.
Chapfuruka from Maruza Village, Chief Nyamukoho in Mudzi, was allegedly killed by her son Jephat Nyakutira, (28) who is reportedly mentally challenged.
Reports say after beheading his mother, Jephat allegedly tried to burn her remains but failed and went on to dig a shallow grave where he buried the body without the head.
Reports say the skull was later found by the deceased’s daughter-in-law, Muchaneta Kanyepa (27), in a bushy area in the same village near the shallow grave and she informed her husband who then alerted the police.
Police spokesperson for Mashonaland East Province, Inspector Simon Chazovachiyi, confirmed the latest development adding that the deceased’s son, Jephat, had since been arrested in connection with the issue. Inspector Chazovachiyi said:
<blockquote>
On February 7, 2022 around 5am, the deceased’s son Shadreck Nyakutira (31) and his wife, Muchaneta Kanyepa, conducted a search for the missing head of the deceased. Kanyepa discovered the skull believed to be of the deceased in a bushy area and she informed her husband who then covered the skull with a metal dish and later informed the police.
Around 10 am, ZRP Nyamapanda attended the scene where they discovered that the skull was found about 85 metres from where the deceased was previously buried and also that the skull had no jaws. It was conveyed to Kotwa Hospital Mortuary for post-mortem.
</blockquote>
Reports say that on February 2, 2022, the deceased’s neighbour Serinah Chitonho (43), went to check for Chapfuruka at her homestead but could not find her.
She reportedly questioned the deceased’s son, Jephat, who was present at the homestead but he professed ignorance on his mother’s whereabouts.
Chitonho informed the deceased’s relative Persuade Mvundura about her missing relative and the duo teamed up and conducted a search.
The duo came across a fresh grave in the field of the deceased, about 52 metres from her homestead. The duo became suspicious and dug the grave resulting in the discovery of the remains of Chapfuruka.
Mvundura made a police report over the case and police officers from Nyamapanda attended to the scene and noted the body of the deceased lying facing upwards with no head and in an advanced state of decomposition.
Officers discovered a fireplace where the suspect is believed to have attempted to burn the deceased’s body.
