Part of Dubai has for the first time in history gone underwater after the city experienced heavy rains and thunderstorms, leading to flooded streets.
People were advised to avoid flood-prone areas, including beaches, according to <a href="https://www.indiatvnews.com/trending/news/part-of-dubai-goes-underwater-for-first-time-as-uae-reels-from-heavy-rains-thunderstorm-viral-videos-trending-news-latest-updates-2023-11-23-904029">IndiaTv</a>. Videos circulated on social media showing waterlogged roads and a man rowing a boat on a flooded road. Dubai police worked to manage traffic during the extreme weather. The heavy downpour was caused by convective clouds and cloud seeding, according to the UAE’s weather agency. Said Dr Abdul Habib, a weather expert from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) of UAE:
<blockquote>
We expected this rainfall of different intensity especially in the northern and eastern parts of the county that day due to convective cloud formation over the sea moving gradually towards coastal areas, starting from Dubai to Sharjah, Ajman and so on. 
</blockquote>
On November 18th, Expo City Dubai experienced the highest recorded rainfall of 65.88 mm. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) stated that the weather on Thursday will be partly cloudy with the possibility of low clouds appearing over certain coastal and western areas. Floods killed dozens of people in Dubai last year.

The Mestaria Gallery in Alserkal Avenue in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, will be showcasing a collection of traditional Zimbabwean sculptures by contemporary artists in their new exhibition “The Shona Collective”.
The Shona Collective exhibition will be running from January 27 until February 17, 2023.
The exhibition will showcase the work of nine Zimbabwean artists from their atelier, The Shona Collective.
The artists are David White, Bywell Sango, Gregory Mutasa, Tawanda Makore, Royal Katiyo, Leonard Sezhendo, Lovemore Bonjisi, Witness Bonjisi, and Dominic Benhura.
Speaking to The National, the Shona Collective founder, Demitris Petrides, said:
<blockquote>
I am excited to show the world how the third generation of Shona sculptors has transformed into producing more modern works with new types of stones that can only be found in Zimbabwe.
… I am a strong believer that every single piece will find its predestined owner.
</blockquote>
The Shona art style is a centuries-old stone sculpting tradition of the Shona, with the skills and techniques passed down within families from one generation to the next.
The sculptors used only a hammer and chisel to carve stone.
They all work with the same materials which include the hardest varieties of serpentine gemstones such as springstone, fruit serpentine and leopard rock. | <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/art-design/2023/01/16/zimbabwean-artists-to-showcase-centuries-old-shona-stone-sculpting-art-in-dubai/">The National</a>

The Dubai Chamber of Commerce has announced the establishment of the Zimbabwean Business Council whose main objective is to promote the commercial interests of Zimbabwe and Zimbabwean businesses in Dubai.
The business council also aims to promote Zimbabwe-owned UAE-registered companies as well as their goods and services in the United Arab Emirates.
Maha Al Gargawi, Executive Director of Business Advocacy at Dubai Chambers said:
<blockquote>
We aim to create new channels of economic cooperation between business communities in the emirate and promising markets around the world.
Covering markets of strategic importance to Dubai, business councils provide the right platforms for businesses in the UAE and abroad to connect, collaborate and build mutually beneficial partnerships. 
These councils will support us as we further expand our presence across Africa, Latin America and the Middle East and attract more companies and investment from these regions.
</blockquote>
In his remarks on the establishment of the new business council, Rungano Innocent Nyaude, one of the founding members of the council, said:
<blockquote>
The Zimbabwean Business Council in the UAE looks to play a pivotal role in growing the Dubai-Zimbabwe business relations by bringing together Zimbabwean businesses operating in Dubai, building an ecosystem of coordination and networking which will in turn build further trade corridors between the UAE and Zimbabwe.
The UAE is Zimbabwe’s second-largest export destination market and through coordination with stakeholders, it is our mission to play a part in strengthening the trade relations between the two countries and grow the business footprint of Zimbabweans in the UAE.
</blockquote>
Bilateral trade between the UAE and Zimbabwe grew significantly between 2019 and 2021.
UAE imports from Zimbabwe reached US$2.3 billion in 2021 compared to US$1.5 billion in 2020 and US$904 million in 2019, while UAE exports to Zimbabwe were US$209 million in 2021.
The main products of trade between the two countries are precious stones and metals. | <a href="https://www.wam.ae/en/details/1395303114617">Emirates News Agency</a>

Ethiopian Airlines is set to launch its new service to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe on 30th October using a Boeing 737-800. 
Ethiopian’s flight will stop in Victoria Falls before carrying on to Bulawayo and then direct to Addis Ababa.
Airport authorities are excited to see new foreign airlines landing at Bulawayo Airport (BUQ) after an upgrade in its flying facilities recently, according to Bulawayo24. 
Flights will leave Addis Ababa (ADD) at 08:30 AM bound for their usual service to Victoria Falls (VFA), landing at 12:10 PM local time. After an hour on the ground, the flight continues to Bulawayo, touching down at 13:55 local time. 
The flight will operate 4x weekly, on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The return service leaves BUQ at 14:55 and lands at Ethiopian’s hub in ADD at 20:45 local time, 4 hours and 50 minutes later.
The flight will use one of Ethiopian’s Boeing 737-800s, a workhorse in the continental fleet. 
From December 1st onward, the 737-800 will take over the route for the future.
Bulawayo is already served by a few international airlines, but none as big as Ethiopian Airlines. 
The African giant’s entry means that passengers flying in and out of Bulawayo now have the opportunity to make a one-stop connection (or two on the way in) to the US, Europe, Asia, and the rest of the continent with relative ease.
Airline executives in the country also said cargo can come directly from Dar es Salaam, Dubai, China or Turkey among others direct into Bulawayo instead of transporting their cargo to Harare and then move their goods by road to Bulawayo.

Zengeza West MP, Job Sikhala (MDC Alliance), who is also CCC deputy chairperson, has called for the amendment of the Trafficking of Persons Act to include 20-year mandatory sentences for people involved in human trafficking.
In a post on Twitter, the lawyer-politician said the trafficking of Zimbabweans to countries in the Middle East is now a national crisis that needs to be nipped in the bud. <a href="https://twitter.com/JobSikhala1/status/1524649819700088832">Wrote Sikhala:</a>
<blockquote>
There are urgent issues that we need to attend to as a nation collectively. Human trafficking from our country to the Middle East, especially, to Oman, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia is now a national crisis.
Our sisters are lured to get into a web of deceit through being promised heaven on earth. They are promised to work in hotels, schools, hospitals etc when in actual fact they will be dumped into the hands of modern-day slave masters.
They are promised salaries ranging from $350US to $2000US and the provision of accommodation, food and other ancillaries.
The arrival at the unknown destination is the beginning of a long journey of no return. They are left in the hands of vultures. Driven from the point of arrival for 10hrs not knowing where u are going.
Human trafficking agents operate using employment agents’ licences and the majority would be deceived to think that, their life will never be the same again.
They will realize at the point of arrival that, the Canaan they were promised is actually hell on earth.
Stories I have received I saw dehumanizing that, some have been turned into sex slaves and sheepherders.
Their passports are seized the moment they arrive at their new destination. They will be told that they will be working to recover the money, used for their air tickets, food, costs for processing the visa and medical tests.
As vulnerable as they are, they will be taken into a house with a huge durawall and will do any job for the new slave master.
From washing clothes, herding goats and sheep, cooking and at night the unknowns will come and devour them to satisfy their sexual desires.
The agents who would have facilitated the travel will be paid big. Their role in seducing the victims with their honey lacerated tongues will reward them big.
Families would think that mwana akaenda kubasa and unbeknown to them is that one of theirs has been turned into a slave.
Families must be educated first, not allow their children to go where they have no idea of the consequences.
There is a need for serious national advocacy around the issue of these advertised jobs in the Middle East.
Parliament needs to immediately amend the Trafficking of Persons Act, to give it the teeth to bite those involved in the human trafficking business.
The agents have become the most dangerous species on earth. They make thousands of US dollars on the sorrows of other people.
The Trafficking of Persons Act should have a mandatory sentence of 20 years for all people who are involved in the business of trafficking our people.
These people belong in prison. Modern-day slavery is abominable. Enough is Enough!

Job Sikhala Calls For Stiff Penalties For Human Traffickers

According to Bloomberg Business, gold worth a staggering $1.5 billion is being smuggled out of the country every year which in turn deprives struggling Zimbabwe income and foreign currency which otherwise would have been remitted to the central bank if it had been sold through the formal channels.
This was revealed after the International Crisis Group (ICG) conducted a research that unearthed the smuggling that is ravaging the Southern African Nation.
ICG says the gold is being smuggled to the bullion-trading hub of Dubai and the smuggling was exacerbated by the policy in Zimbabwe that states that gold exporters can only get 70% of their proceeds in forex while the rest is converted into local currency.
A report by ICG reads in part:
<blockquote>Zimbabwe’s centralized gold-buying scheme underpays producers, a practice that encourages smuggling and erodes industrial mining profits, leading companies to close mines. Idle industrial mines become targets for intrusion by artisanal miners.</blockquote>
When contacted for comment, Mines and Minerals Deputy Minister Polite Kambamura said they were working on trying to curb the rampant smuggling of gold:
<blockquote>As government, we are working to minimize the costs of smuggling</blockquote>
The report comes a few short weeks<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/10/26/just-in-zrp-arrests-henrietta-rushwaya-for-trying-to-smuggle-gold/"> after Henrietta Rushwaya was caught trying to smuggle 6 kgs</a> of gold to Dubai.

Gold Worth $1.5 Billion Being Smuggled Out Of Zim Each Year

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has denied claims that Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) president, Henrietta Rushwaya, who was arrested yesterday at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport while attempting to smuggle 6kg of gold to the United Arab Emirates, has been set free.
In a statement posted on its social media channels, the ZRP said Rushwaya was detained at Harare Central Police Station last night and expected to appear in court this Tuesday. The statement read:
<blockquote>ZRP reiterates that Henrietta Rushwaya was arrested and detained at Harare Central last night. She will appear in court today. Allegations that she was released without being taken to court are not correct and should be dismissed.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, in a statement, the Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) said Rushwaya, like every accused person, is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The statement read:
<blockquote>The ZMF has learnt of the arrest of its President Ms Henrietta Rushwaya and is following the case closely.
As an organization, we are aware that every accused person is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
We have had the privilege to hear Ms Rushwaya’s side of the story and believe in her innocence.
We anticipate that Ms Rushwaya will be taken to court tomorrow for possible initial appearance as part of due process.
In the interim, we remain committed to executing our mandate and vision as an organization.</blockquote>

Police Say Henrietta Rushwaya Has Not Been Freed

Zimbabwe is losing millions of dollars in revenue due to the smuggling of gold to Dubai through South Africa.
Speaking during a field day at the Bubi Gold Milling Centre where he was the guest of honour, Finance and Economic Development Minister, Mthuli Ncube, revealed that the government is putting in place measures to prevent the smuggling of the yellow metal so as to ensure increased formal deliveries. He said:
<blockquote>The sector has the potential to contribute much more if we can curb the leakages. Government is going ahead with implementing interventions to curb the smuggling of gold to Dubai through South Africa.
One of the interventions is where we have Fidelity Printers paying a lucrative price for gold sales. We are aware that all smuggling takes place to Dubai through South Africa and we are losing a lot of gold and we are doing everything as Government to curb leakages.</blockquote>
Minister Ncube said gold alone generates US$1 billion annually and small-scale miners account for over 60 per cent and at times as much as 70 per cent of gold production in the country.

Dubai To Open For Tourists In 2 Weeks Time - Report

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/High_Court_of_Zimbabwe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">High Court</a> judge Justice Amie Tsanga has ordered former Vice President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Joice_Mujuru" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joice Teurai Ropa Mujuru</a> to pay a United Arab Emirates-based company, Suzane General Trading JLT (Pvt) Ltd, US$70 000.
The payment is compensation following the collapse of a joint venture agreement signed between the parties over eight years ago.
Justice Tsanga also ordered Mujuru to settle the debt within a seven-day period counting from the date of the granting of the court order being December 4, 2019. Justice Tsanga ruled:
<blockquote>Whereupon after reading documents filed of record and hearing counsel, it is ordered that the second defendant (Mujuru) be and is hereby ordered to pay the plaintiff (Suzane General Trading) the sum of $70 000 together with interest at the prescribed rate from the date of the issuance of summons to the date of full payment.</blockquote>
In the lawsuit, Mujuru was cited as the second defendant together with International Travel Shops Africa (Pvt) Ltd, and one Tirivanhu Mudariki.
Court papers indicate that on November 16, 2011, the Dubai firm entered into an agreement with International Travel Shops Africa (Pvt) Ltd, Mujuru and Mudariki which they termed a share sale and management agreement.
The Dubai firm then paid US$150 000 for the purchase of goodwill and advanced a loan of US$50 000 to both Mujuru and Mudariki.
According to the firm, following a breach of clause 7 of the principal agreement by International Travel Shops Africa (Pvt) Ltd, the parties agreed in principle that the envisaged joint venture had irretrievably broken down.
The matter was subsequently referred to arbitration where Mujuru was ordered to compensate the Dubai-based firm.

Zim Hospitality Industry Urged To Embrace Cutting-edge Technology

The Deputy Minister for Media, Information and Broadcasting Services, Energy Mutodi, said that the government will continue using borrowed planes for as long as Air Zimbabwe remains in its current state.
Mutodi was speaking to the Daily News over President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s reliance on a hired luxury jet from the United Arab Emirates for his local and international trips. Said Mutodi:
<blockquote>This issue has been clarified by the President’s spokesperson, George Charamba and that is the position of the government.
The UAE has offered us a plane to be used by the President whenever we want it. We are not paying a cent for that plane, but it is a privilege we are enjoying from this friendly nation.
In the case of the ZITF, the President was hosting Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and it was appropriate that the UAE plane is borrowed to give the visiting President a comfortable flight to Bulawayo.
Most Air Zimbabwe planes are grounded, and the remaining ones are unsafe for the praesidium.
The Ministry of Transport is working round the clock to ensure Air Zimbabwe is re-capitalised and new planes bought and until that happens, the country will continue to rely on borrowed aircraft.</blockquote>

Tourism Minister, Mupfumira 'Sells' Zimbabwe To Dubai Tourism Officials At World Government Summit

Malawian prophet Shepherd Bushiri told his congregants that he had a vision of a Zimbabwean city that will look like Dubai in the next six years.
He said God told him that Zimbabwe’s time of punishment is over and that God will visit Zimbabwe. the malawian prophet said this vision will not be completed by one politician but by all of them together.
Said Bushiri:
<blockquote>God is doing a new thing in Zimbabwe. Hear me, as I speak as a prophet. God is about to exalt the land of Zimbabwe. We must pray for the land of Zimbabwe and I saw something about Zimbabwe very interesting. Zimbabwe has been a sleeping giant, but now the sleeping giant is going to rise. I am seeing a land that looks like Dubai. I am seeing a new city in Zimbabwe, it looks like Dubai and God is saying to me, ‘I am about to bless this land’. God said tell the people of Diaspora, who are struggling in other nations, in other countries, that you are about to return home and be rich in their home. You are about to become rich in Zimbabwe because God is working on Zimbabwe. In the next six years from now, you will have something that looks like Dubai being built. God is about to promote the land of Zimbabwe and He will not do it with an individual, he will do it with Zimbabweans. No one man, not one woman, not one politician, not two politicians, but all of them together. God is doing a new thing in Zimbabwe,</blockquote>

The Sunday News of South Africa claims that President Robert Mugabe owns a “luxurious Dubai mansion” which is next door to President Jacob Zuma’s mansion
The First Family have denied that they are still using the 10-bedroom mansion. However, a Dubai estate agent claims he sold the property to Grace Mugabe for R130 million in 2015 after she started off by renting it for R500 000 a month. Details of the Mugabe’s home were revealed in the legal wrangle between First Lady Grace Mugabe and a Lebanese Jeweller over a $1.3 million diamond ring.
Mugabe’s spokesman George Charamba said:
<blockquote>As a responsible father, President Mugabe rented that property for his son who was studying in Dubai. The property is no longer there.</blockquote>
