The Zimbabwe Meteorological Services Department (MSD), in collaboration with the Civil Protection Department, has released the evening weather report and forecast for Zimbabwe, valid from Tuesday, November 28, 2023, until Thursday, November 30, 2023.
The morning of this Tuesday was characterised by mostly sunny and mild conditions. However, as the day progressed, it became partly cloudy to cloudy in most parts of the country. Some light thundershowers were experienced in specific provinces, including Matabeleland North, Mashonaland West, and Manicaland.
Moving on to the forecast for Wednesday, November 29, 2023, it is expected to begin with partly cloudy and mild conditions in the morning across most parts of the country. However, as the day progresses, cloud developments are anticipated, leading to scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. These thunderstorms are a result of cloud systems approaching from the northwest.
During this period, the risk of lightning strikes is significantly increased, posing a potential danger to all areas. It is important to note that lightning can strike even when clouds appear distant, a scientific phenomenon known as lightning from the blue. The atmosphere is also conducive to localized hailstorms and strong winds.
To ensure personal safety, there are several actions that individuals should take. If caught outdoors during a thunderstorm, it is advised to avoid seeking shelter under isolated trees or in isolated sheds, as these can act as natural lightning conductors. Instead, it is recommended to seek shelter inside a home or a large building. Even if lightning is observed in the distance, it may not be safe to remain outdoors. The 30-30 Rule serves as a rough guideline to assess safety: if lightning is seen and there are less than 30 seconds between the flash and the sound of thunder, it indicates that the individual is not safe from the next lightning strike. Furthermore, where possible, installing lightning conductors on buildings can provide additional protection.
The forecast also includes specific weather outlooks for various regions. For the main city centres such as Bulawayo, Kwekwe, Kadoma, Masvingo, Marondera, and Gwanda, the weather forecast remains consistent with the general pattern of partly cloudy and mild conditions in the morning, followed by scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. Similarly, in popular holiday resorts like Victoria Falls, Kariba, Great Zimbabwe, Nyanga, Matopos, Chimanimani, Chinhoyi Caves, Binga Hot Springs, and Hwange National Park, visitors should expect the same weather conditions.
Looking ahead to Thursday, November 30, 2023, the weather outlook suggests that northern parts of the country, including northern Manicaland, all Mashonaland, Harare or Metropolitan, Matabeleland North, and northern parts of Midlands provinces, may experience scattered afternoon thunderstorms. In some places, these thunderstorms may result in isolated heavy rainfall exceeding 30mm. On the other hand, the southern parts of the country, including Bulawayo Metropolitan, Matabeleland South, Masvingo, southern parts of Midlands, and southern parts of Manicaland, are expected to encounter cloudy, cool, and drizzly conditions in the morning. Throughout the day, the cloud cover is expected to decrease, leading to warmer temperatures in the afternoon.

Zimbabwe Weather Report And Forecast Valid From 28-30 November, 2023

Zimbabwe’s Meteorological Services Department and Civil Protection Department state that on Saturday, the entire country experienced mostly sunny conditions. The weather was mild in the morning but became hot in the afternoon.
The forecast for tomorrow, Sunday 19 November 2023, predicts that Matabeleland South, Masvingo, and the southern parts of Manicaland provinces may have brief cloudiness in the morning with mild conditions. However, the skies are expected to clear up in the afternoon, and warm to hot temperatures can be anticipated. As for the rest of the country, it should be mostly sunny and hot throughout the afternoon.
When it’s very hot during the day, it’s important to stay hydrated and cool. If you don’t drink enough water and get too hot, you can become dehydrated and may experience heat-related illnesses like heat stroke, heat exhaustion, or heat rash. Hot weather conditions can also result in soil drying out quickly and plants requiring more water to survive.
Recommendations:
1. Sun Protection: If you are working outdoors in the sun, it is essential to protect yourself from excessive heat and harmful UV rays. Wear a sun hat, use sunscreen, and cover your skin as much as possible to avoid sunburn and heat-related illnesses.
2. Hydration: Stay well-hydrated, especially during hot and sunny weather. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent dehydration and ensure optimal plant growth.
3. Water Harvesting: Take advantage of any opportunity for water harvesting. Collect rainwater or explore other means of water collection to ensure you have sufficient water for your crops and plants during periods of low rainfall or drought.
4. Stay Indoors during Thunderstorms: When thunderstorms occur, it is best to seek shelter indoors. Lightning can pose a significant risk to both farmers and crops. Avoid working in the fields during thunderstorms to ensure your safety.
5. Early Planting and Irrigation: If you have access to irrigation methods, consider early planting. However, it is crucial to consult with your local Agritex Officer for specific advice on the best planting practices and irrigation techniques suitable for your area.
Weather Outlook:
On Monday, a weak cloud band is expected to bring cloudy conditions and the possibility of light showers, potentially thundery, in some areas. Matabeleland North, All Mashonaland provinces, and the Midlands provinces should prepare for mild to warm temperatures. In contrast, Matabeleland South, Masvingo, and Manicaland provinces can expect mostly sunny weather with warm to hot temperatures.

Zimbabwe Weather Outlook And Tips For Farmers

The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) and the Civil Protection Department in Zimbabwe have reported isolated thundershowers, mainly along the main watershed area, on Tuesday afternoon. In their weather forecast for Thursday, they anticipate brief periods of cloudy weather in the eastern Highlands, accompanied by a light easterly breeze in some parts of the country.
On Tuesday, there were isolated thundershowers due to leftover moisture, and it was cloudy and windy in the eastern parts of Masvingo and Manicaland Province, caused by a south-easterly airflow. However, both sources of moisture were diminishing by the evening.
For Thursday, the forecast indicates that the eastern Highlands will experience brief cloudy periods with a light easterly breeze. Regions like Matabeleland North, Harare Metropolitan, northern parts of the Midlands, and all Mashonaland provinces may also have a light easterly breeze. Other areas such as Bulawayo Metropolitan, Matabeleland South, southern parts of Midlands, and Masvingo Provinces are expected to be less windy. The weather will be mild in the morning and become hot in the afternoon, with partly cloudy conditions prevailing over much of the country.
These weather conditions can have various impacts. Hot weather can lead to dehydration, particularly affecting the health of the elderly, young children, and those who are already ill. Sunny and hot conditions also increase evaporation rates. Isolated showers and occasional downpours are unreliable for rain-fed agriculture.
To mitigate these impacts, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking sufficient water. Seeking advice from local health practitioners is recommended, especially if spending extended periods outdoors during the day. Ongoing land preparation is advised, and early planting is only recommended for those with access to irrigation. Monitoring the temperature in fowl-runs and adjusting heat can help reduce bird mortality. Additionally, it is important to learn water harvesting methods before the next wet spell and seek shelter indoors when thunder is heard.
The weather outlook for Friday indicates mostly sunny and hot conditions across the entire country, with a predominant north-easterly airflow.

Zimbabwe Weather: Thunderstorms Expected In The Coming Days

Travellers have been left stranded after flights to and from some countries in Southern Africa were grounded after the announcement of the discovery of the Omicron COVID-19 variant.
Omicron was detected in South Africa on 25 November. In response to the announcement, the United States, the United Kingdom, and nations in Europe swiftly banned flights to South Africa. 
Steve Lawrence, a stranded traveller at OR Tambo, one of Africa’s busiest airports said he had planned to travel to the USA. He said:
<blockquote>
This is absolute chaos. Nobody can tell us what is possible in terms of travel at this point.
Things are changing by the minute and we are left in the lurch. We had planned to stay in the United States for the month of December — and now we are stuck.
</blockquote>
About 600 passengers on two KLM flights from Johannesburg to Amsterdam were left stranded on the runway at Schiphol Airport after panic set in following the announcement. 
Shabir Madhi, a South African vaccinologist said it is naive for developed countries to believe they can stop the spread of this variant with a blanket ban on countries in southern Africa. He added:
<blockquote>
The virus has already found its way into these societies from individuals that haven’t even travelled to or come into contact with anyone from southern Africa.
The fact it was discovered here does not make it a South African variant — it was merely discovered here.
In South Africa we have one of the globe’s best Covid sequencing capacities based on our experience with treating HIV and TB. We have been ahead of the game for a while now and we are thus a victim of our success.
</blockquote>
The abrupt grounding of flights has spooked the tourism industry with booking cancellations increasing directly following the announcement.

Travellers Left Stranded As Flights To Southern Africa Are Grounded

<blockquote>Today, the 18th of April 2021, we commemorate 41 years of Independence – an important national day in the history of our country. The importance of independence cannot be understated; for it speaks to our being, identity, nationhood and patriotism. Our independence was hard won and fought for by every man, woman and child in this country. Independence was a product of citizens’ convergence around the liberation idea and promise – the liberation consensus. The occasion of Zimbabwe’s independence has always been a moment of great pride and triumph for us as a people who were once subjugated and held hostage by the cleavages of a system of oppression.
I join you in paying tribute to all our iconic heroes and heroines who sacrificed for independence of our country from subjugation and repressive colonial rule; The struggle’s seminal role in our history cannot be erased. It is part of our national heritage and national treasure as we honour the gallant sons and daughters, men and women who died for a great cause.
Our debt of gratitude and unconditional appreciation goes to those who sacrificed their lives for the independence of our beloved beautiful Zimbabwe. We give a special recognition to the liberation heroes, war veterans, military and security services personnel, our retired veterans and all of you, the brave and patriotic people of Zimbabwe for sacrificing everything for the attainment of our independence.
The war was waged by the majority to dismantle colonial injustices and the cause for restoration of dignity, universal suffrage (one-person one-vote), land ownership and economic independence and prosperity of this our great country. Thousands perished for this great and noble cause.
The war was waged for the establishment of a just and fair society where all citizens are treated the same regardless of their gender, race, creed, ethnicity or political affiliation affording them equal opportunity to prosper and pursue happiness.
The liberation effort was a pursuit and quest to establish a Transformational Democratic Developmental State, which places people at the centre of all developmental programs. That promise of independence remains unfulfilled – the idea of independence was and is a pact and a contract between Zimbabwe and its citizens. The liberation promise, the freedom promise, the peace promise. the prosperity promise and the transformation promise remain elusive for the greater number of our people. This promise remains unfulfilled leading to many people, young and old, even questioning its worth.
The 41 year old journey thus far has proved that more still needs to be done to ensure that the People of Great Zimbabwe enjoy the fruits of the independence that came as a result of the selfless sacrifice by the combatants and the bravery of the masses who together complemented one another to ensure victory of the liberation war effort.
Four decades later, we are confronted with another threat to that Independence in the form of a minority system based on brutality, marginalisation and discrimination, impunity and persecution using the Rhodesian manual or template of repression. After 41 years. we have not matured into a multi-party democracy that celebrates diversity of opinion and respects Constitutionalism. We have had one continuous Republic of violence, dictatorship and repression.
The future of the Republic and its progressive development are under threat and cannot be guaranteed if we don’t change course. It is vital to note that the spirit of independence did not end in 1980. It is an ongoing spirit, a never-ending indomitable spirit, one that has spurred fighters for democracy to ensure that the promises of 1980 are fulfilled. The spirit of independence must inspire present generations to keep on fighting and not to despair. Young people stood up against the colonial regime when it seemed impossible. The fight against repression is never impossible.
Fellow citizens, the contradictions arresting Zimbabwe today are a result of the hijacking of the agenda of the liberation struggle and a clear disrespect of those who sacrificed to secure the independence we are talking about today. It cannot be acceptable to have the levels of poverty in our society today; the people of Zimbabwe are subjected to unpalatable suffering, living from hand to mouth. There is need for economic emancipation: which includes opening up resources to ensure inclusive participation especially by women and the youth.
There is also need to end international isolation. The country has suffered long periods of isolation since 1965 and this has largely been self-inflicted. A return to democracy, protection of human rights and fairness are critical in the path towards inclusion in the community of nations. Our independence was a product of African solidarity and international support. We salute African countries for their help to the liberation effort. We salute Zambia and other frontline states such as Tanzania for liberation assistance. Mozambique in particular played a critical role in the liberation of Zimbabwe. In this regard, may we deploy our solidarity to the great people of Mozambique as they go through a difficult period in their country. An unstable Mozambique is an unstable SADC and indeed an unstable Africa. A threat to one is a threat to all. A lasting solution must be found in Mozambique so that there is peace and security in the region.
We call for the complete realization and preservation of an independent Africa as the continent’s new agenda to realize the aspirations of an independent African continent. An African continent that is free from oppression, an African continent that is driven by ideas and not instruments of repression.
Today is our national birthday.
We have just turned 41. We take stock of our journey of growth since a euphoric birth in 1980. Much has been accomplished but more needs to be done.
At 41, we have missed opportunities, neglected advantages and wasted moments. We have neglected the obvious quick wins and low-hanging fruit.
At 41, there is so much unhappiness, anxiety and despair undeserved of citizens of such a great and rich country.
At 41, the plight of our esteemed veterans is a source of disappointment. We don’t have adequate support and welfare benefits for our war veterans. Many still carry wounds and injuries from the wars. Many are living in abject poverty and under squalid conditions.
At 41, we have not addressed the national question and a shared national vision for our country.
At 41, we still have one television station for the whole country with some parts of the country without radio, intemet or network coverage. Having to rely on networks from neighbouring countries.
At 41, the heavy handedness of the State against dissenting voices is something that needs to be resolved to nourish the democratic space. Many have trumped up charges against them. Some are in prison for seeking to exercise their rights and fundamental freedoms.
At 41, the existence of political prisoners of conscience and individuals in this country, who are accused of political crimes of demanding more rights and freedoms, is a clear reminder that our independence has been emptied of its meaning and in fact become a new place of oppression and lack of independence for the ordinary citizens of this country.
At 41, the continued assault on the opposition MDC Alliance as a party that represents multiparty democracy is also evidence that on our country is on a dangerous path to entrenchment of a one-party state.
As we speak Last Tamai Maengahama and Tungamirai Madzokere have been in prison for years for a crime they did not commit, on top of 2 years of pre-trial detention. Makomborero Haruzivishe is serving 14 months in prison for sitting down and whistling. A Member of Parliament. Hon Joana Mamombe and youth leader, Cecilia Chimbiri are in prison for holding a press conference on top of the unspeakable ordeal they went through last year.
At 41, political tolerance is still a missing link. Draconian laws and bills are sailing through parliament. We scheme against each other instead of planning together for a Great Zimbabwe.
At 41, we are a divided country where those in politics are purveyors of violence and merchants of polarisation propagating hate and spewing vitriol as their core business.
At 41, we have rulers who invest in criminalizing citizens ‘ through several pieces of draconian law such as the mooted Patriotic Act, the proposed Cyber law and the shameless amendments and bastardization of the national Constitution.
At 41, Zimbabwe finds itself introducing youth brainwashing disguised as national service, indicating a reversal of the gains of independence. At 41, the continued regression and the redrawing of the country’s constitution so that it resembles the Lancaster house agreement is an indication that the independence was not about progressing this country for Zimbabweans but taking it back, as close as possible to colonial times. At 41, we are back to the old colonial days of but tax, dog tax and land tax.
At 41, we have a political elite who lack the conscience and care for citizens, having abandoned the responsibility to account, lead and serve. At 41, what we have is a direct replacement of a dominant and oppressive settler minority with a dominant and oppressive indigenous elite minority.
At 41, we have rigged, disputed elections and disputed government. Comprehensive structural political and electoral reforms that are yet to be implemented to create a level playing field.
At 41, the World Bank estimates the number of extremely poor people is around 7,9 million as of December 2020 — almost half the population. Poverty in Zimbabwe has increased by 21% in the last decade. It is now at its highest level in recorded history. Extreme poverty is now 40% of the population.
At 41, we have the second highest level of inflation in the entire world, with currency uncertainty and volatility.
At 41, we have erosion of people’s value in banks including the loss of value in people’s salaries and pensions. At 41, we have a country drowning in debt due to the irresponsibility of a criminal elite which is unable to live within it’s means.
At 41, workers are without a decent wage. Our teachers, nurses and civil servants are without decent salaries and that merited dignity.
At 41, corruption has derailed the independence dream, eroding all the gains of the liberation dream. Corruption is killing us.
At 41. our beautiful Zimbabwe is without solid infrastructure. Our roads, bridges, water and communication infrastructure are in a sorry state. At 41, thousands of graduates from universities struggle to get jobs with the in- dependent unemployment rate estimated to be above 90%. The economy is highly informal.
At 41, Zimbabwe has produced an entire generation of brilliant young people unable to derive value from the dignity of hard work, from academic brilliance to art and sporting excellence. Nobody rewards the young.
At 41, we witness an exponential spike in social vices such as drug abuse and violent crimes.
At 41, we run the risk of being a breeding ground for radicalization in the context of rising extremism. Lessons should be learnt from the situation in Mozambique.
At 41, dereliction of duty has failed an entire generation, failure to establish a growing economy which is inclusive and able to create decent jobs for our youth. This is the only way to create a buffer against radicalization of young people. it is the only way to ensure a sense of belonging for the young people.
At 41. the majority of our talented and skilled citizens are in the diaspora seeking greener pastures and greater opportunities. 
At 41. we have an abandoned social agenda with a collapsed public health delivery system where 7 babies die in a day, a disgruntled public service and a chaotic education sector. 
At 41, quality education and healthcare remain the preserve of a privileged few. Many parents cannot afford school fees, medical fees and food for their families. 
At 41, our senior citizens and pensioners are without safety needs and cushioning.
At 41. many are still without title to land.
At 41, we have forced evictions of Zimbabweans by a captured elite representing interests of exploitative capitalism and politically connected persons. The resolution of the land question in a manner beneficial to all of Zimbabwe’s citizens is a national priority.
Our message to all Zimbabweans in rural areas, farming areas and broader Zimbabwe is that under our leadership you will have title and ownership of their land. Under rural modernization there will be title and value to the land. The land belongs to the people. It is a right and it will be protected. Land ownership and title deeds for the rural and farming communities must be guaranteed. Devolution and empowerment of communities is a crucial issue in the context of a spate of unjust evictions in Chilonga, Ilwange, Chiadzwa, Chisumbanjc to mention but a few. But all these challenges will come to pass. So many challenges, yet a BIG opportunity to re-imagine and rebuild a New, Great Zimbabwe!
Our answer Iles in us all answering to the CONVERGENCE CALL. The call for a new national consensus entails the convergence of all citizens for real change and national transformation. Today is a day for introspection. Zimbabwe must unite, converge and rediscover itself. It is time to converge and shed off undesirable retrogressive bad habits and broken politics.
It is time to converge, refocus and build a great Zimbabwe a time to converge and seek an inclusive solution to our national challenges, based on a genuine acceptance and apologies for mistakes of the past. It is time to converge and give true meaning to independence and the sanctity of a vote. It is time to converge and allow our best to be unleashed as we all work towards rapid transformation, quick economic recovery and prosperity. It is time to converge and restore the political rights and civil liberties which the liberation generation sacrificed for. It is time to Converge and assert the people’s victory. It is time to converge and reposition Zimbabwe to its rightful place among the family of Nations. It is time to converge and embrace Truth and Reconciliation for national healing. It is time to converge and break from the dark past characterized by Gukurahundi, marginalisation, exclusion, violence and corruption. It is time for transparency and accountability. It is time for restoration of the Great Zimbabwe to its Jewel status.
This Independence Day is a moment to re-imagine the liberation promise through a citizens’ convergence for change. Now is the time to have a citizens’ convergence for change to give true meaning to independence and patriotism.
A Great Zimbabwe is Coming. Together we can! One people, One Vision, One Nation.
Winning Zimbabwe for change! Change that delivers!
God Bless You. God Bless Our Great Zimbabwe. God bless Africa. God is in it!! Thank you.
Have a blessed Independence Day.
Proud citizen of Africa.

FULL TEXT: Chamisa Promises Land Ownership, Title Deeds When He Attains Power

The United States of America has offered Zimbabwe $475,000 to help restore the stone walls at Great Zimbabwe, a fortress that dates back to the 11th century and which gave the country its name.
The walls, which are 11 metres in height in some places, are being affected by a weed from the West Indies known as Lantana Camara.
Much of the funding will be used towards the eradication of the weed that now threatens the ancient wall.
According to a regional director for the Great Zimbabwe Museum, Lovemore Nyandima, a system to detect any shifts in the walls will be put in place in August or September and an expert in the control of lantana camara will make an assessment. He added that the project is funded by the U.S. Ambassador.
According to a Bloomberg report;
<blockquote>Great Zimbabwe was the capital of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe, which ruled over ancestors of the modern-day Shona ethnic group, and is the biggest of about 100 stone ruins known as MadZimbabwe that are found in the country. Zimbabwe means house of stone.</blockquote>

United States To Fund Great Zimbabwe Walls Preservation

MDC Alliance presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa has vowed to rename the country if he wins the July 30 elections saying that the name Zimbabwe is cursed. Speaking at a rally in Mutare on Saturday, Chamisa said,
<blockquote>
The first thing which should be done under our economic transformation agenda is to change the name of the country. Zimbabwe cannot remain Zimbabwe because it has been turned into Zimbabwe ruins. We will be renaming it to Great Zimbabwe in line with the greatness which is coming. We are a great country.
The name Zimbabwe is cursed as you can see our national soccer teams always loses matches; cricket team is always defeated, volleyball is always defeated.  …Even in the bible when you are getting to a higher level you are given a new name which is Great Zimbabwe. Harare will remain the capital city, but we are now moving government business to Gweru in Midlands which is central to everyone.</blockquote>
