President Emmerson Mnangagwa has reappointed Bubi MP Simelisizwe Sibanda as the Deputy Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development.
In a statement issued this Wednesday, 31 July, the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Martin Rushwaya, said the appointment is effective immediately.
Rushwaya said that President Mnangagwa pardoned Sibanda following representations, profuse apologies, and Sibanda’s undertakings to refrain from similar wrongdoings in the future.
However, Rushwaya did not specify what Sibanda had apologised for or the nature of the behaviour he promised to avoid going forward. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
Following representations, profuse apologies and undertakings to refrain from similar misdemeanours in future, His Excellency the President, Cde. Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa has decided that Hon. Simelisizwe Sibanda be pardoned.
Accordingly, His Excellency the President, Cde. Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa has in terms of subsection 2 of Section 104 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, appointed Hon. Simelisizwe Sibanda M.P. as the Deputy Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development.
The appointment is with immediate effect.
</blockquote>
Sibanda was fired on 01 July 2024 after demanding the transfer of early childhood development (ECD) teacher, Winnet Mharadze from Clonmore Primary School in Bubi Constituency, allegedly for not being proficient in the local language, Ndebele.
The ZANU PF MP had gone to donate uniforms to learners at the school, 55 km out of Bulawayo, off Harare Road near Gloag High School on June 24, 2024.
During a meeting attended by teachers, parents and hundreds of learners, Sibanda asked Mharadze why she was in Matabeleland and tested her by asking her what “uqethu” is.
As reported by <a href="https://cite.org.zw/outrage-as-dep-minister-fired-over-support-for-indigenous-languages/">CITE</a>, uqethu means grass, and it is part of a common tongue twister among IsiNdebele speakers that goes “Qum’ qethu, ‘gecu ‘qethu,” which simply means cut the grass.
This was not the first instance of Sibanda criticizing Shona teachers in Bubi. Reports indicate that Bubi District education officials alleged the MP stirred controversy previously at Mbembeswana 1 Primary, where he also reprimanded Shona teachers who could not speak the local language.
In 2016, then Primary and Secondary Education Minister Lazarus Dokora said that infant classes (ECD to Grade Two) in the country must be taught in indigenous languages.
Zimbabwe’s Constitution also recognises 16 languages, while a 2018 policy mandates student teachers to learn three local languages beyond their own.
 On 02 July, Sibanda issued an apology for publicly criticising the ECD teacher, saying he took “full responsibility” for his actions. He said:
<blockquote>
PUBLIC APOLOGY TO THE NATION OF ZIMBABWE BY HONOURABLE SIMELISIZWE SIBANDA 
2nd of July 2024
I, Honourable Simelisizwe Sibanda, former Deputy Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, do hereby express my sincere apologies for the concerns arising from my recent actions.
I understand that my approach to addressing the issue of a teacher’s language proficiency was misguided and inappropriate, leading to perceptions of tribalism.
I want to assure the public and especially the teachers that my intention was solely to ensure that our children receive quality education, and I was concerned about the teacher’s ability to communicate effectively with her students.
However, as a national leader, I should have addressed this issue through appropriate channels, avoiding public platforms that may have fueled the tribal connotations.
I take full responsibility for my actions and acknowledge that my approach was wrong. I understand that my actions may have perpetuated tribal divisions, and for that, I truly apologise to the whole teaching fraternity and nation at large.
I want to assure the public that my commitment to our nation’s unity and development has always been genuine.
I want to express my gratitude to the public, the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development, for supporting me during my tenure. I appreciate the opportunity to have served and contributed to the development of our education sector.
I also want to extend my apologies to all the leadership and members of my Party ZANU PF. I understand the party’s values of unity and inclusivity, and I regret any harm caused by my lack of judgment.
I hope that the party and its members will accept my sincere apologies and recognize my commitment to our nation’s progress.
I would like to thank His Excellency, the President CDE Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, for trusting me and giving me the opportunity to serve within the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation Science and Technology Development, and regret that I have let him down.
Finally, I remain committed to the nation’s progress under the leadership of our visionary leadership of His Excellency CDE Dr E.D Munangagwa as we consolidate the gains we have made as we pursue Vision 2030.
I hope that the public will accept my sincere apologies and recognize my commitment to our nation’s unity and progress. I am committed to learning from this experience and growing as a leader.
I thank you all.
Sincerely,
Honourable Simelisizwe Sibanda,
Former Deputy Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development

He apologized for his actions and promised not to repeat them. The President forgave him and gave him his job back. Sibanda now needs to work better with others and show respect. It is important for leaders to set good examples and work together for the country's progress.

Mnangagwa Reappoints Deputy Minister Simelisizwe Sibanda

Simelisizwe Sibanda, the Member of Parliament for Bubi Constituency in Matabeleland North, has issued an apology for publicly criticising a Shona ECD teacher in front of numerous students and calling for her transfer due to her alleged lack of proficiency in the Ndebele language spoken by her pupils.
At a meeting held on June 24 at Clonmore Primary School in Bubi, the ZANU PF MP insisted on the immediate transfer of ECD teacher Winnet Mharadze, saying her purported inability was detrimental to the educational prospects of children in the constituency.
In a statement released after he was dismissed from his role as Deputy Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science, and Technology Development by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Monday, Sibanda said he took “full responsibility” for his actions. Reads the statement:

Bubi MP Apologies For "Humiliating" ECD Teacher

An 18-year-old man from Bubi District, Matabeleland North, escaped death by a whisker after he was attacked by “angry” elephants.
Tinashe Ncube was saved from being trampled by the jumbos after a relative distracted the charging animals with a wrapping cloth she was wearing.
The woman reportedly waved the cloth in the air and threw it to the ground thereby causing the elephants to leave the injured teen and trample on the fabric.
According to Advent Nkomo, a teacher at Lukala Secondary School, Tinashe was with a female relative on Wednesday when they encountered the elephants.
The two elephants had been provoked by students at Lukala Secondary School as they were passing by.
Nkomo said the elephants had gone their way after the provocation but then met Ncube and his relative who didn’t know the elephants were angry. Said Nkomo:
<blockquote>
Tinashe was with a woman who is his relative and when the elephant started to attack him, the woman took off her wrapping cloth (intsaro) and threw it on the ground.
The two elephants left him and went to attack that cloth.
There are a lot of elephants in this area and now we are fearing that they will harm the students since they don’t know how dangerous these elephants are.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) Head Of Corporate Communications, Tinashe Farawo said:
<blockquote>
It happened yesterday. I can confirm that a young man was injured by two elephants, the investigations are still in progress.
The information we have right now is from the witnesses, our team is working on it.

Woman's Wrapping Cloth Saves Teen From Elephant Attack

Villagers and authorities at Majiji Primary School in Bubi, Matabeleland North Province were forced to invite a self-styled prophetess to “cleanse” the school following mysterious occurrences.
The school was forced to close last month after school children, female teachers and women in nearby villages were tormented by what they suspected to be goblins.
The prophetess, Sithembiso Moyo, said the “spirit” of a male teacher who died at the school some time ago was responsible for the unnatural occurrences.
A cleansing ceremony was conducted at the school last Friday, with the affected teachers, parents and villagers from surrounding areas in attendance. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>
There is a spirit of a male teacher who died at the school. The family of the long-deceased teacher failed to perform traditional rituals to cleanse his spirit from the school and his spirit is now troubled.
It is today that we get rid of it and make sure that the spirit of the late teacher will be exorcised and tamed so that he rests in peace.
</blockquote>
Moyo also claimed that the other problem was caused by a strange goat that has remained roaming at the school, and whose owners are not known.
School Development chairperson John Sibanda confirmed that a cleansing ceremony was held at the school on Friday. He said:
<blockquote>
She began her cleansing rituals last Friday on a cold rainy day. She gathered the affected teachers and the nearby villagers.
One teacher testified that she had been seeing a shadowy figure that would ‘strangle’ her. During the process, she would be powerless to fight back.
The same strange shadow would sexually abuse her, which is terrifying. We hope that the ceremony yields positive results.

"Late Teacher’s Spirit Haunting School"

Teachers at a school in Matabeleland North’s Bubi district have fled from the school after they were sexually attacked by mysterious things believed by locals to be goblins. 
Majiji Primary School’s development committee chairperson (DCC) John Sibanda told <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/2022/06/goblins-shut-down-school/">Southern Eye</a> that a prophet from an Apostolic sect was invited to perform a cleansing ritual at the school which has virtually shut down. Sibanda said:
<blockquote>
Unfortunately, the results did not satisfy the community members after the situation got worse. A meeting was held and it was decided that those with spiritual powers should be called in to assist remove the goblins.
Madzibaba visited the school last week and performed his magic, unfortunately, the ceremony did not yield the desired results because the abuse by goblins has escalated even more.
</blockquote>
Sibanda said another meeting was held last week with different stakeholders at the school, which included village heads, the councillor and parents.
He said parents of learners at the school were fuming saying Madzibaba failed to remove the goblins. Added Sibanda:
<blockquote>
He only captured a small snake from a male teacher’s cottage. The community now claim that the captured snake is the same as other snakes that are usually found at Majiji and other surrounding communities in Mbembeswana.
The school is now empty because lessons have been disturbed for a full week after teachers left to flee the goblins. The female teachers who were terrorised by the goblins came back last Sunday, but complained that the situation has actually gotten worse. They did not sleep last night.
</blockquote>
Sibanda said different prophets were asked to assist, but only Madzibaba turned up.
Ward 4 councillor Danisa Siwela said more spiritual healers are needed to assist the school.
Villagers told Southern Eye that the owners of the goblins must be exposed.

Teachers Flee From School After Being Attacked By Goblins - Report

The infamous <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/MaShurugwi">MaShurugwi</a> have invaded Bubi District’s Inyathi area following a recent gold rush, The Chronicle reports.
The machete-wielding gangs have threatened artisanal miners’ operations in the area and some have scaled-down production due to the advent of the infamous MaShurugwi.
Small scale miners that spoke to the publication said:
<blockquote>Right now, there is no accountability of the illegal artisanal miners’ actions, they have invaded our mines disrupting our operations by looting our mineral ore and vandalising mine infrastructure.
Knowing how violent they are, we watch them helplessly; we can’t do anything because we fear for our lives.
Even the gold ore that we are working on, they come and steal it. Just recently, they broke into our carbon room and got away with the carbon and all the gold that was awaiting processing.</blockquote>
MaShurugwi have <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/01/08/mashurugwi-killed-105-people-since-august-2019/">headlined for various atrocities</a> including killing a police officer and robbing people across the country.

A Recent Gold Rush In Bubi Invites Unwanted MaShurugwi To The Area, Threatens Mining Activities In Inyathi

Canada-Zimbabwe Project Society has teamed up with Zimbabwe Project Society and has funded a $20000 piggery project at a school in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Matabeleland_North_Province">Matabeleland North Province</a> to help the vulnerable children in the society.
The school, Mbembeswana 1 Primary in Bubi, which has 807 students and 23 teachers is headed by Mr Masukume who expressed his gratitude over the project while speaking to Sunday News:

The school has also received a science kit that contains instruments pertinent to the piggery project from Government in collaboration with Unicef.</blockquote>
