Chiefs and village heads (traditional leaders) will get at least US$550 each as part of COVID-19 allowances backdated to May 2022.
<a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/us-dollar-windfall-for-village-heads">The Sunday Mail</a> reported that there are about 26 000 village heads countrywide, who will get US$50 per month from May last year as part of the perks.
This was confirmed by the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works’ communication and advocacy director Gabriel Masvora.
He said the payments have since been approved and will be distributed through the Salary Service Bureau (SSB). Said Masvora:
<blockquote>
The ministry has now approved that the village heads receive US$50 per month as the COVID-19 allowance, and it will be backdated to May last year.
Village heads approached the ministry and argued that they have been playing a major role in the fight against the pandemic, hence they deserved to receive the allowances.
The government also approved a medical aid facility with the Premier Service Medical Aid Society (PSMAS) for traditional leaders.
</blockquote>
Masvora said the government will pay 80 percent of the cost, chiefs will contribute US$3, sub-chiefs US$2 and village heads US$1 per month towards the medical aid facility.
He said the amount will cover a maximum of five family members.
Section 281 (2) of the Constitution forbids traditional leaders from being members of any political party or in any way participating in partisan politics, acting in a partisan manner, furthering the interests of any political party or cause or violating the fundamental rights and freedoms of any person.
In previous years, opposition political parties and civic organisations have accused ZANU PF of abusing the roles of traditional leaders by using them as political commissars to induce villagers to vote for the ruling party during elections.
The announcement of the US dollar windfall for COVID-19 which is no longer a threat a few months before general elections will most likely raise some eyebrows.

Traditional Leaders To Get US$550 COVID-19 Allowance Each

The Health Services Board (HSB) said that the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development has availed ZWL$350 million towards the payment of health insurance allowances for health workers who contracted coronavirus.
HSB chairperson Paulinus Sikosana said 9 058 health workers contracted COVID-19, with 3 632 having received their allowances as of 21 April 2022. Said Sikosana:
<blockquote>
As of 21 April cumulatively there were 9 058 health workers who had tested positive for COVID-19 and 27 succumbed to the pandemic.
A total of 3 632 of those infected had been paid as of 21 April 2022 while 5 426 were approved for payment and awaiting processing of the payments.
We are certain that the money [ZWL$350 million] is enough to pay every healthcare worker who has been affected.
This amount covers all the 5 426 outstanding claims that have been approved for payment at the prevailing exchange rate.
From 21 April to May 2022, HBS received 757 more claims that will require $492 050 to settle and we continue to process all these payments so that our health workers receive their payouts.
</blockquote>
Sikosana said claimants in Grade F are paid an amount equivalent to US$1 000 whereas those below Grade F will receive payments equivalent to US$650.
Zimbabwe Nurses Association (ZINA) president Enock Dongo confirmed that some nurses have received their allowances but implored the Government to avail adequate PPE to guarantee the protection of health workers.

3 600 Health Workers Receive COVID-19 Allowance

The government has withdrawn Covid-19 cushioning allowances saying communities are now self-sufficient after the country recorded a <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/07/24/600k-tonnes-of-grain-delivered-to-gmb/">bumper harvest this year.</a> 
  
Finance minister Mthuli Ncube last year said Treasury had set aside $600 million in <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/06/19/govt-clarifies-on-covid-19-cushioning-allowance/">financial support</a> over three months for small businesses and vulnerable people affected by the COVID-19-induced lockdown.
However, the disbursements have stopped.
The development came out during a question and answer session in the National Assembly last Thursday when Senator Watson Khupe questioned the government why the allowances had been cut to those deserving. Said Khupe:
<blockquote>
Sometime last March on the onset of Covid-19, government came up with a very good plan of cushioning people living with disabilities so that they would receive stipends because of the challenges that they were facing and at that time they were hopeful that indeed they would receive this assistance. Has there been a shift in policy that has caused people not to receive money or maybe government is just having delays in having these funds disbursed?  If it is just a challenge with the disbursements, when are these disbursements ever going to be made?
</blockquote>
Leader of the government in Parliament Ziyambi Ziyambi responded saying the money was no longer available for those who are able-bodied due to a bumper harvest that the country got this past cropping season. Said the Justice Minister:
<blockquote>
The money that the Hon. Member has made reference to, last year we used to disburse it to a lot of people because of the drought that was prevailing.  At the moment, the Social Welfare Department is busy screening or vetting those people that need to be weeded out because we have a bumper harvest. If you are to observe, you will see that in the past, in the communal lands, everyone was entitled to receive this benefit, but at the moment they are vetting the rightful candidates that should receive it.
</blockquote>
He also added that the vetting exercise was underway and payments would be backdated for those who qualify to receive the allowances.

Zimbabwe Withdraws COVID-19 Cushion Citing Bumper Harvest

Scores of vulnerable people in Matabeleland North province are reportedly failing to access their COVID-19 monthly cushioning allowance from the government due to current lockdown travel restrictions.
In the absence of public transport due to the lockdown, private transporters charge exorbitant fares which are beyond the reach of many.
Moreover, inter-city and provincial travel are still restricted, and one needs a letter from the police to travel, which is not easily accessible.
Matabeleland North provincial Social Welfare officer Mcnon Chirinzepi revealed that since May, the province has received 2 894 mobile phone sim cards for vulnerable households but only 2 570 have been collected. He said:
<blockquote>Some vulnerable beneficiaries have not collected their sim cards because they have been locked down during the Covid-19 period outside their residential communities and they are not able to travel back to collect their sim cards.</blockquote>
Following the indefinite lockdown which was imposed in late March, the government introduced social protection programmes, among them monthly cash transfers of $180 per household to mitigate effects of the stay-at-home order.
The funds are distributed through NetOne’s One Money platform and each beneficiary is handed a NetOne sim card loaded with $180.

Vulnerable People Fail To Access COVID-19 Allowances Due To Travel Restrictions

Newly-formed political group, the Poverty Liberation Movement (PLM), says civil servants should reject the US$75.00 COVID-19 allowance “nonsense”, saying it is government’s attempt to hoodwink workers.
In a statement issued this Thursday, PLM demanded that the government restores workers’ October 2018 salaries. The statement read:
<blockquote>A fortnight ago, on 4 June 2020, the Poverty Liberation Movement (PLM) announced at Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfield, Machipisa that workers should be paid in US$.
Having mobilised the entire spectrum of the working class, we knew that only a collective struggle would deliver on this demand.
Our reason was informed by the fact that it is now self-evident that the Zimbabwe dollar has become moribund and thus the market has rejected it.
Subsequently, with the economy and labour reaching a boiling point, the elites in government are panicking.
Firstly, they chased rumours of a coup after failing to pay the military adequately then secondly, attempted to pacify the government workers with a token US$ 75.00 after the outbreak of industrial action.
The challenge for Mnangagwa and his cabal is that none of this will hold, it is akin to beating tom-toms when the house is burning.
When the moribund currency was introduced, it was apparent that it would fail, bad money chases away good money, this is a basic principle of economics.
Further, the workers were earning an average of US$512.00 before Mnangagwa and his cartels robbed them, a US$75.00 allowance is, therefore, an elaborate insult.
With the nurses having started off a wave of fresh industrial action yesterday, 17 June 2020, and teachers joining next week, it has become clear that the end is nigh for the failed regime. The attempt at paltry US$ salaries is but mere desperation by panicky elites.
While some may have thought our amplification of the struggle for US$ salaries to be nothing but a pipe dream, it is clear that this now a reality. Let us press once more for a living wage, freedom and democracy in our lifetime.</blockquote>
