Two people were killed and five others injured when a bus collided with a kombi on Sunday evening, 16 kilometres outside Gwanda along the Bulawayo-Gwanda Road.
Inspector Loveness Mangena, spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) in Matabeleland South Province, confirmed the incident to <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/two-die-in-kombi-and-bus-head-on-collision-along-bulawayo-gwanda-road/">Chronicle</a>.
She said that the bus, which was travelling from Bulawayo to Gwanda, was following a Nissan Liberty when the driver suddenly applied the emergency brakes to avoid hitting a group of donkeys.
To avoid crashing into the Nissan Liberty, the bus driver swerved into the lane of oncoming traffic, resulting in a collision with a kombi that was travelling from Gwanda to Bulawayo. Said Inspector Mangena:
<blockquote>
I can confirm that we recorded a fatal road accident where two females died. Two people who were in the kombi died while five others were injured.
</blockquote>
A recent report claims that transport operators in Zimbabwe are losing an average of 300 buses per year due to road traffic accidents.

Two people died in a crash between a bus and a kombi in Gwanda. The bus tried to avoid hitting donkeys and swerved into oncoming traffic, hitting the kombi. Two people in the kombi died and five were injured. This is a big problem in Zimbabwe, with 300 buses being lost each year in accidents. So, it's important for drivers to be careful on the road.

Two Dead, Five Injured In Gwanda Bus-Kombi Crash

Four people, among them a pregnant woman from Gwanda, died of cholera early this month at a religious shrine in Beitbridge.
The pregnant woman, who had contracted the disease, went to the shrine to seek help after refusing to be assisted by health officials due to religious beliefs.
According to the Gwanda district cholera situational report released by the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) on 13 January, the deceased, including the pregnant woman, were apostolic sect members.
The pregnant woman reportedly complained of a headache and nausea on 29 December 2023 and assumed she was having labour pains. <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200022101/cholera-kills-4-at-apostolic-sect-shrine">Read the report</a>:
<blockquote>
She was taken to a religious shrine in the Beitbridge District in the Mazunga area for assistance in delivery.
While she was there, the birth attendant and custodian of the shrine contracted cholera along with 12 other family members and neighbours. The birth attendant and two males died.
The Beitbridge MoHCC rapid response team (RRT) attended to the outbreak on January 1 and carried out contact tracing and treatment of symptomatic contacts found.
The deceased was initially hidden from the RRT by family members and later identified by other community members. The deceased refused medical attention from the RRT members.
The family then tried to shift her to another religious shrine in the Mberengwa Masase area, however, she died along the way on January 2.
Her death was reported to the police and was placed at the Gwanda Provincial Hospital mortuary pending a post-mortem.
</blockquote>
The family, however, did not disclose that the deceased was a contact of a confirmed cholera death.
On 09 January, the body of the deceased was taken to United Bulawayo Hospitals for a post-mortem and buried on the same day at Jonclyn Resettlement.

Four People Succumb To Cholera At An Apostolic Sect Shrine

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has reported on various crimes that have occurred across the country including murder, hit-and-run accidents, and drug possession.
In Dotito, Mashonaland Central Province, the police are investigating a murder case where the body of an unidentified 4-year-old girl was found dumped in a pit toilet on 8th December 2023. The police are appealing to anyone with information to come forward and report it at the nearest police station.
In Gutu in Masvingo Province, a man named Collen Mawere (43) has been arrested for the murder of his brother-in-law, Afinos Museka (59). The incident occurred on 8th December 2023 at Chihambakwe Business Centre in Gutu. Mawere allegedly assaulted Museka during a heated argument about childcare, causing Museka to fall and subsequently die.
On 9th December 2023, in Chikombedzi in Masvingo Province, four individuals named Godfree Sibanda (28), Last Lisenga (62), Cosmas Mazvetera (45), and Cephas Siziba (22) were arrested in connection with a murder case. The victim, Peterson Chitsengo (40), was assaulted by the suspects during a drinking session on 7th December 2023 at Mateke Business Centre in Mwenezi. Chitsengo sustained head injuries and was admitted to the hospital, where his condition worsened and he passed away.
In Gwanda, Matabeleland South Province, the police are investigating a hit-and-run accident that occurred on 9th December 2023 along the Bulawayo-Beitbridge Road. A male adult was killed after being hit by an unknown motorist who did not stop after the accident. The police are urging anyone with information to report it at the nearest police station.
Furthermore, on the same day, detectives from the CID Drugs and Narcotics in Harare arrested a man named Collen Nyakarenga (35) for the unlawful possession of 1,530 kilograms of dagga (marijuana) with a street value of ZW$50,000,000. The detectives pretended to be potential buyers and arranged a meeting with the suspect at Skyline tollgate along Masvingo Highway. Nyakarenga was apprehended after producing a sack of dagga from his vehicle. The detectives also discovered an additional 16 sacks of dagga at the suspect’s residence. The police are reminding the public about the dangers of drugs and urging people to say no to drugs.

Crime Watch: 4-year-old Girl Found Dumped In A Pit Toilet

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 Report And Forecast 25-27 October 2023

The Meteorological Services Department, together with the Department of Civil Protection, predicts cloudy weather across most of Zimbabwe this week.
In a weather report and forecast issued on Monday 23 October 2023, the MSD said thundershowers were widespread, especially in the eastern and central regions, with the highest recorded precipitation in Masvingo, Zvishavane, and Mhondoro. Bulawayo also experienced rainfall. Certain areas, including Matabeleland South, Bulawayo Metropolitan, Masvingo, and Manicaland provinces, saw cloudy, windy, and cold conditions due to rising pressure in the south.
Tomorrow, cloudy conditions with periodic thundershowers are expected in Mashonaland provinces, Harare metropolitan, and Manicaland, while the rest of the country should be partly cloudy and cool in the morning, becoming warmer later in the day. Thunderstorms may bring wind gusts and lightning, making roads slippery and reducing visibility. It is important to drive carefully and find safe shelter during thunderstorms and avoid crossing flooded rivers. Additionally, as the rainy season begins, it is advisable to protect oneself from mosquitoes, which multiply during this time.
On Wednesday, cloudiness is expected to decrease across the country, resulting in mostly sunny conditions. However, isolated thunderstorms may occur in Matabeleland North, northern parts of Midlands, Mashonaland provinces, Harare metropolitan, and Manicaland provinces.

Zimbabwe Weather Report And Forecast Valid Until 18 June 2023

The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) of Zimbabwe, in partnership with the Department of Civil Protection, has issued the Zimbabwe Evening Weather Report and Forecast for Sunday 04 June 2023 until Tuesday 06 June 2023. The weather was mostly sunny throughout the country with light winds. The lowest recorded ground minimum temperature was <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">4 degrees Celsius</a> at Nyanga, and there was no ground frost recorded at all stations countrywide. Daytime temperatures were warm.
For Monday 05 June 2023, clear skies with light winds are expected during the day, which may increase in strength towards evening. Daytime temperatures should remain warm, and the nights are expected to be cool. There is no ground frost anticipated. However, windy and cool conditions may affect the health of <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">vulnerable individuals</a> and trigger respiratory-related illnesses in all persons. Poultry, especially day-old chicks, are sensitive to overnight declines in temperature. The differences between night and daytime temperatures can affect the body’s perception of cold.
For cattle breeders, it is important to ensure that their livestock are well-cared for during the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">weather conditions</a> outlined in the forecast.

To take appropriate action, ensure that vulnerable individuals are dressed appropriately, especially in the early hours of the morning. Keep warm, especially in the southern parts of the country. Wear a sunhat or carry an umbrella if there is a need to be outdoors in the northern parts of the country. Monitor the temperature within <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">fowl runs</a> and adjust accordingly to reduce the impact of cold conditions on the bird population.
For Tuesday 06 June 2023, cool, moist, and fresh southeasterly winds are expected to enter the country from the eastern borders, resulting in cloudy conditions in some provinces. <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Matabeleland South</a>, Masvingo, and southern parts of both Midlands and Manicaland should experience cloudiness, which is expected to reduce as the day progresses. The remaining areas should remain mostly sunny with moderate winds.

The forecast for Sunday, 04 June 2023, predicts that mostly sunny conditions will persist countrywide, with a significant contrast between daytime and night temperatures. No ground frost is anticipated, but windy and cool conditions may affect vulnerable members of society and trigger respiratory-related illnesses in all persons. Poultry, especially day-old chicks, are sensitive to overnight temperature changes.
To mitigate the impacts of the weather conditions, the MSD recommends that vulnerable members of society dress appropriately, especially in the early hours of the morning. People in the southern parts of the country should keep warm, while those in the northern parts should wear a sunhat or carry an umbrella if there is a need to be outdoors. Poultry farmers are advised to monitor the temperature within fowl runs and adjust accordingly to reduce the impacts of cold conditions on the bird population.

Breeders should also monitor their cattle for signs of respiratory distress, particularly if they are vulnerable or have a history of respiratory-related illnesses.
The weather outlook for Monday, 05 June 2023, indicates clear skies countrywide, with low evening to morning temperatures. Ground frost should not be ruled out in the Highveld areas.

Zimbabwe Weather Report And Forecast 26 - 28 April 2023

A man believed to be 23 years old from Mawane village in the Garanyemba area of Gwanda ran amok and destroyed property belonging to his neighbour.
The suspect, Jasper Sibanda, accused his elderly neighbour identified as Gogo MaNdlovu of spreading lies about him. He destroyed her three houses.
Ward 13 Mawane councillor Mitlas Ndlovu confirmed the incident to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200010063/gwanda-youth-runs-amok">Southern Eye</a> saying Sibanda is currently on the run. Said Ndlovu:
<blockquote>
The incident happened last week on Friday around 11 pm, he wanted to kill Gogo MaNdlovu’s two nieces accusing them of gossiping about him.
When they (nieces) heard him threatening to kill them they ran away from home together with their granny and hid in the bush.
That is when Sibanda started destroying the homestead until 4 AM.
There is a big challenge here in Garanyemba of youths engaging in a lot of drug abuse. We need a police station here to curb all these activities.
Another elderly woman from Mawane 2 was also raped last week by another youth. I do not know why these youths are targeting old women.
</blockquote>
Ndlovu said the matter was reported to the police.
According to the Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA), Zimbabwe’s illicit substance use problem increased dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Commonly used substances in Zimbabwe include glue, bronclee, mangemba, cane sprit, marijuana, codeine and methamphetamine (crystal meth).
Very high unemployment rates in Zimbabwe, coupled with poverty and despair, have resulted in increasing numbers of youthful citizens also turning to use drugs as a way of entertainment.

Zimbabwe Weather Report, Forecast: 4 - 6 March 2023

A traditional leader in Matabeleland South Province, says outsiders should not harvest mopane worms (amacimbi / madora) in the region as they employ poor methods of harvesting.
This comes after the province has been inundated by people from various parts of the country who have been harvesting the worms since the onset of the rainy season.
Gwanda chief Khulumani Mathema told Sunday Southern Eye that the uncontrolled harvesting of mopane worms threatened the economic well-being of the region. He said:
<blockquote>
Amacimbi have been one of the economic enablers for people in our districts.
Now they (outsiders) are chopping down trees, which are the major source of mopane worms breeding.
So one wonders why the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) is not protecting our people.
This is not the way to live; you know these people come here and do their business of collecting mopane worms and some do not even have respect because they cut down the trees.
Another thing is they do not know the process of collecting because they are not supposed to take them when they are still on the tree.
Instead, they should wait until they are now moving off from the tree on their own.
</blockquote>
Mathema said it is perplexing that people travel from faraway places to harvest Mopane worms in Matabeleland yet people from the region do not go to other regions to exploit natural resources found there. He said:
<blockquote>
The locals know how to collect the worms and understand the whole process to harvest amacimbi.
My question is: Have they ever seen us going to their provinces to collect any of the things that their areas are well-known for?
These people do not respect us and our culture, which is not fair because we no longer live peacefully.
They should not come here because they are now ripping us off our environmental rights.
If they want mopane worms (amacimbi) they should get them from wherever they come from not here.
</blockquote>
The traditional leader said their efforts to engage the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) on the issue have not been successful.
A Kaufusi villager, Reboni Noko said outsiders were also polluting the environment by leaving plastic bags and baby diapers everywhere.
Another villager, Relebile Nare said they were losing patience with the “foreigners” that had taken over their area.
Matabeleland South EMA public relations officer Sithembokuhle Moyo told Southern Eye they were aware of the issue but had not been empowered to intervene. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/southerneye/news/article/200006437/tension-over-mopani-worms-harvesting">Southern Eye</a>

The ZRP is investigating a murder case which occurred in Zhombe on 09/11/22 at around 0300 hours, where four unknown suspects who were armed with axes and machetes pounced at the mine and struck two security guards, Obert Moyo (56) and Herbert Zimbe (47), with axes before stealing 8kgs of pregnant carbon. The two victims sustained severe injuries and were rushed to Kwekwe General Hospital. Obert Moyo was pronounced dead upon arrival.
</blockquote>
In the gold industry, activated carbon is used to recover gold from the gold-cyanide complex also known as the cyanide process. It is a technique for extracting gold from low-grade ore by converting the gold to a water-soluble coordination complex.
In January this year, ZRP arrested a man who was found in possession of 05 x 50kg sacks of pregnant carbons which were suspected to have been stolen from Gwanda, a gold mining town in Matabeleland South.
Meanwhile, ZRP Saruwe arrested Prosper Rocque Samanyanga (38) and Hardlife Chitsuro (32) on 09/11/22 for a case of unlawful entry into premises and theft, which occurred at Frenchoeck Farm on 04/11/22. 
It is alleged that the duo broke into a complainant’s storeroom and stole an ATA motorcycle. Police have since recovered the cycle, which had been sold in Darwendale.

Machete-wielding Robbers Pounce On Gold Mine And Get Away With 8kgs Of Pregnant Carbon

A 15-year-old girl from Gwanda was allegedly murdered by her 31-year-old husband who accused her of infidelity.
The now-deceased minor, Silindokuhle Sibanda, stayed with her husband Thandazani Ncube at his parents’ homestead in the Singukwe area.
It is alleged that Ncube assaulted the teenager in the middle of the night while they were on their way home after attending a party on 5 November 2022.
After the attack, Ncube carried the girl home in a wheelbarrow and placed her on their bed.
The minor was found dead the following morning.
Ncube was on Monday arraigned before Gwanda magistrate, Polite Ncube Banda, facing a murder charge. He was remanded in custody to 21 November.
Prosecuting, Ngonidzashe Shumba said Ncube attacked Silindokuhle on 5 November around 11 PM and the minor succumbed to head injuries the following day. Said Shumba:
<blockquote>
On 5 November at around 11 PM Thandazani Ncube struck Silindokuhle Sibanda on the back of her head using an unknown object following an altercation. Ncube was accusing the girl of infidelity.
Silindokuhle succumbed to head injuries the following day at around 4 AM.
</blockquote>
Earlier, Ncube’s mother, Sibongile Ncube, told the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/man-31-assaults-15-year-old-wife-to-death/">Chronicle</a> that her son and Silindokuhle had gone to a party at a nearby homestead.
She said in the middle of the night she heard the sound of a wheelbarrow being pushed out of the yard.
Ncube said a few minutes later her son came rushing and informed her that his wife had a headache.
She said she went back to sleep assuming that Silindokuhle would be fine in the morning since it was just a headache.
However, when Ncube went to check on Silindokuhle the following morning, she found the girl lying on her bed covered in blood-soaked blankets. She said:
<blockquote>
My son was also there in the same room and he told me that he was trying to discipline her for cheating on him with another man.
Upon checking Silindokuhle, I discovered that she was already dead.
</blockquote>
Ncube said she immediately alerted neighbours who came to the homestead and community members effected a citizen arrest on Thandazani and escorted him to a police base in Stanmore leading to his arrest.
