A Chiredzi farm worker tragically died on Monday after being struck in the forehead with a stone by a man he had confronted about “poaching” the farm’s Wi-Fi intended for employees.
The assailant, 22-year-old Moment Mavasa from Jackson Village, Chief Tshovani, Chiredzi, has been arrested and charged with the murder of 19-year-old Ask Ndhlovu from Nhambekwa Village, Siyabora area, Binga.
According to Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson for Masvingo Province Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa, the incident occurred at Farm 3 in Hippo Valley.
On the day of the attack, Ndhlovu and 24-year-old Peter Mutapati were working on the farm when Mavasa and his accomplice, 22-year-old Tafadzwa Mafuta, arrived to illegally access the Wi-Fi designated for farm employees.
Ndhlovu and Mutapati reportedly asked the duo to stop using the Wi-Fi and leave the premises.
A heated argument ensued, and Mavasa allegedly threw a stone at Ndhlovu, hitting him in the forehead. 
Ndhlovu suffered a deep wound and began bleeding heavily before losing consciousness. Mavasa and Mafuta fled the scene.
Mutapati immediately informed the farm’s employer, Tawedzerwa Muzvidziwa, and they rushed Ndhlovu to Chiredzi General Hospital.
Sadly, Ndhlovu succumbed to his injuries the following day. Mavasa was later arrested for murder.

Chiredzi Farm Worker Killed By Wi-Fi "Poachers"

Local Government and Public Works Minister, Daniel Garwe, has promised civil servants free Wi-Fi and residential stands while defending his push for an extension of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term beyond 2028, when his current term ends, reported <a href="https://bulawayo24.com/index-id-news-sc-national-byo-250906.html">Bulawayo24</a>.
Garwe, a strong advocate of the ED2030 agenda has repeatedly compared Mnangagwa to the biblical Moses, claiming he was divinely chosen to lead Zimbabwe’s transformation.
Speaking recently in Mahusekwa, Mashonaland East Province, Garwe pledged to provide free Wi-Fi to youthful civil servants, who are expected to purchase homes within a proposed 250,000-unit, high-end gated community by businessman Phillip Chiyangwa.
Chiyangwa, who attended the event, boasted about his company, Pinnacle Property Holdings, securing a deal with the government to offer civil servants the opportunity to live in his development before eventually owning the properties outright.
Garwe further claimed that Mnangagwa holds the sole right to continue leading the country, even beyond 2030. He said:
<blockquote>
From a government perspective, on this programme alone, we are delivering about five policy stations. The first one being human settlement policy that we must provide citizens with well-planned and well-governed settlements.
Settlements with properly designed and constructed road networks, sewer reticulation, water reticulation and other services including electricity and Wi-Fi now. 
It is going to be a gated community and obviously, people especially the younger generation (Civil servants) cannot survive where there is no Wi-Fi and we have accepted that semadhara (as old people serving in government), and that is policy station number 1.
The second policy station is to ensure that we obliterate the existence of an animal called land baron by providing people with well planned, well services and well governed settlements where people (once start paying for their respective stands) they are rest assured that they are going to have title to that piece of land.
The third is that we are now speaking to the regularisation policy as we move forward as a country, let’s build better forward which is being experienced here under the mantra, Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo.
</blockquote>
Garwe said the project will allow civil servants and ordinary Zimbabweans to own land, while also eliminating land barons. He said:
<blockquote>
What we talk about is what we do and what we do is what we talk about. Number five is the policy on no one and no place is left behind.
Two hundred and fifty thousand stands, (residential, commercial, industrial and upstairs) so civil servants, here is an opportunity to own land, ordinary Zimbabweans, here is an opportunity to own land, urban land in terms of stands that have no issues with respect to land barons, stands with papers since you have title deeds once to make payments.
Manyame is not going to be left behind and the entirety of civil service or ordinary Zimbabweans. These are all the policies coming from the Head of State, Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa.
To go further, this is the reason why we are saying, President, why can’t you take us to 2030 so that all those areas where we still have gaps, they will be developed in terms of you driving your Vision as Head of State, driving the mission, objectives of that Vision that Zimbabwe will be developed and must be developed.
</blockquote>
Chiyangwa said that both civil servants and ordinary citizens could purchase units in his gated community and fully own the properties once they met the agreed terms and conditions. He said:
<blockquote>
As you can see for yourself, we said we are providing 250,000 units. When I say units, I mean stands as well as flats and other business centres, so we have the Minister here putting up a statement on the availability of other stands because we have these stands which we are supposed to supply the whole nation including both civil servants and ordinary people.
</blockquote>

A man named Garwe promised free Wi-Fi and housing to civil servants. He wants the President to stay in power even after 2028. Another man named Chiyangwa is offering homes to civil servants to buy. Garwe said the President is the only one fit to lead. The plan is to help people own land and get rid of land barons. Chiyangwa also said that everyone can buy units in his gated community and fully own them. The government wants to develop the country by 2030.
