Beitbridge East Member of Parliament, Albert Nguluvhe (ZANU PF), has said the indiscriminate cutting down of trees should be regarded as a security threat considering its impact on both the environment and the lives of Zimbabweans as regards Climate Change.
Addressing more than 500 villagers and 85 participants of a 17-kilometre walkathon that preceded a Matabeleland South Tree Planting Day event at Malala Secondary School in Beitbridge, Nguluvhe said parts of Beitbridge District were fast becoming a desert due to deforestation. He said:
<blockquote>
I am going to make such a recommendation in Parliament, where I am the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Defence and Security.
We are threatened by a desert and the effects of climate change. People who cut trees are a threat to our national security.
Every day people are driving cartloads of freshly cut green trees into Beitbridge, threatening the environment and our future.
This should be stopped and I appeal to the local authorities to take action.
</blockquote>
Among the participants in the walkathon were three Beitbridge female prosecutors, the managing director of Zimborders, Nqobile Ncube, Beitbridge Town Clerk, Loud Ramakgapola, and several shipping agents, youthful pastors from different churches and several fitness enthusiasts.
Nguluvhe, who served as both the late Vice President Joshua Nkomo and former President Robert Mugabe’s top aide, urged local authorities to enact by-laws banning the selling of firewood in Beitbridge.
He also implored councils to impound carts and vehicles used to ferry firewood from freshly felled trees.
Beitbridge West paramount Chief Tshitaudze, born David Mbedzi, said all people intending to build new homes will now be asked to plant trees before laying down foundations.
The Forest Act, Chapter 19:05, Section 78, clearly prohibits the damage or cutting down of any tree, whether it is on public or privately owned land.
Before any tree is cut, permission should be sought from the Forestry Commission, the body set up to protect Zimbabwe’s forests.
The major drivers of deforestation in Zimbabwe are charcoal production, logging, and agricultural expansion.

Indiscriminate Tree Cutting A Security Threat - ZANU PF MP

The illegal cutting down of trees for the production of charcoal is putting a huge strain on Zimbabwe’s fragile forests, <a href="https://vicfallslive.co.zw/4045-2/">reported VicFallsLive</a>.
Charcoal is produced by heating wood to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen and is used for cooking and heating.
The use of charcoal in Zimbabwe has been rising steadily over the last few years especially in towns and cities due to rolling power cuts.
Mazia Dube a Hwange resident, delivers charcoal at one of Hwange’s busiest truck stops, Truck Inn Stop in the Cinderella area from where it is loaded to Bulawayo bound haulage trucks.
Dube is hired by different people, who illegally obtain the charcoal from the forests in Hwange’s Madumabisa village to deliver the product at the truck stop.
He says on a good day he can make as much as US$100 from the charcoal deliveries with the business reaching its peak during winter.
Zimbabwe reportedly loses about 60 million trees – some 33 000 hectares of forests – every year.
Mthelisi Sebele, an ecologist with the Forestry Commission in Matabeleland North, said:
Throughout the province, Hwange has become a hotspot, especially in areas such as Madumabisa Lubangwe and Matetsi up to Dete along the Nyantue River and Dinde.
The problem has been proving difficult to control since it started from Hwange around Deka Drum and spread in other areas from 2000 to 2010.
It has even spread to Victoria Falls and other areas controlled by the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, rural district councils and the Environmental Management Agency.
Sebele said in 2021, 158 people from Matabeleland North and Bulawayo were arrested and fined for trading in charcoal. He said:
<blockquote>
In Hwange, we confiscated 505 bags of charcoal and made 20 arrests, and in Dete we repossessed 690 bags and arrested 50 people.
In Lupane seven bags were also confiscated and 39 people got arrested for that offence while in Bulawayo and Victoria Falls a total of 69 people were arrested and 25 bags of charcoal were confiscated.
</blockquote>
Currently, anyone caught selling firewood and charcoal can be fined US$59 or sentenced to a year in jail.
But Trymore Ndolo, a Victoria Falls Combined Residents Association member, said instead of arresting people who are involved in the illegal trade of firewood, authorities should set up a hub where people can sell the firewood at a very affordable price. Said Ndolo:
<blockquote>
Here in Ward 11, we have over 1000 people who have no access to electricity in their homes and some of them are poor and unemployed. So sending them to jail or imposing a stiff fine is unjustified.

Zimbabwe’s Forests Threatened By Rising Demand For Charcoal

Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa is accused of nepotism after he allegedly abused his office to divert reforestation funds from the Forestry Commission to the Tobacco Industry Marketing Board (TIMB), which is chaired by his wife, Monica.
The accusation was made by Forestry Commission acting general manager, Abednico Marufu when he appeared before the Wonder Mashange-led Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Environment. He accused Chinamasa of moving the Afforestation Fund to TIMB without consulting his commission and in contravention of a Cabinet resolution. Said Marufu:
<blockquote>In 2015, the Minister of Finance announced that there was going to be an afforestation levy and we were told to open a bank account, which was specifically for the Afforestation Fund and to prepare a constitution on how it is going to be utilised, but we were surprised that the Cabinet decision to give the Forestry Commission custody of the fund was later changed and given to TIMB. This decision was made by the Minister of Finance, and we never saw any document from Cabinet rescinding that decision for us to administer the fund. We read about it in the Press and when we approached the ministry, they told us that the fund is now going to be administered by TIMB.</blockquote>
