The Midlands Province has the highest rate of murder cases in the country, with 90% of these incidents involving lethal weapons, according to the National Prosecution Authority (NPA).
In a recent series of murder cases handled by the courts, some offences involved police officers, including a case involving Officer Mitch Tafirenyika.
Tafirenyika, who was aged 28 at the time he committed the offence, was accused of murder and appeared before a Gweru magistrate last week.
He had been part of a special unit assigned to apprehend two armed robbery suspects, Tichaona Muzhanduki and Doubt Munsaka, at a local farm. Said the NPA:
<blockquote>
Tafirenyika and a colleague were armed with service rifles and proceeded to the farm, where upon arrival they split into four groups and surrounded the house. The now-deceased opened the door after the police had knocked on the door.
</blockquote>
Tafirenyika immediately opened fire and shot the deceased in the chest and arms, killing him instantly. He will receive his sentence this Friday.
In another case, a 34-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison for two counts of murder. Courage Hwami appeared before the High Court in Gweru, facing charges of murder and attempted murder.
The first count pertains to an incident on December 4, 2023, involving Hwami, a 19-year-old victim, and a complainant at the Vhudzijena Night Club in Mkoba 16 Business Centre.
During their time at the club, a misunderstanding escalated between Hwami and the deceased. Reads the document:
<blockquote>
The two fought, and the security officer at the club restrained them. After a while, the accused person charged towards the deceased, who was with the complainant, and stabbed him with a Columbia knife once on the left side of the chest and the back.
</blockquote>
Hwami gave chase to the complainant and stabbed him once in the chest outside the bar before fleeing the scene. The deceased died on the spot as a result of the attack.
Hwami was eventually arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the first count of murder and was given an additional 10-year sentence for count two.
In yet another case, a 20-year-old Shurugwi man was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for killing his cousin over a plate of sadza. Said the NPA:
<blockquote>
Tawanda Chinyati (20) appeared before the High Court sitting at Gweru on murder charges. The accused person and the now-deceased are cousins.
On 24 February 2024 the accused person and the now deceased, aged 23 at the time the offence was committed, were at home where supper was served. 
The family of four was supposed to eat in pairs. The deceased refused to share his plate saying that he was the eldest.
The accused person and the other two shared one plate and the deceased ate alone. When the now deceased finished his food he joined the other three and started eating their food.
An argument arose between the accused person and the now-deceased and the now-deceased slapped the accused person once on the face.
The accused person walked away and returned with a flick knife which he used to stab the now-deceased once in the chest before fleeing the scene.
The deceased was taken to Shurugwi District Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The accused person was convicted and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment.
</blockquote>
In Mvuma, Trust Khaki was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison for the murder of his 15-month-old daughter.
The crime occurred in 2021 when his wife left the infant in his care while she went to collect the family’s share of social welfare donations. Said the NPA:
<blockquote>
When the deceased’s mother returned, she found the accused holding the deceased, who was struggling to breathe, with bruises on her chin, a swollen left side, a bump on her forehead, and a scratch on her back.
The deceased was rushed to her grandmother, where they established that she was already dead.
</blockquote>
It was discovered during investigations that the deceased had been struck once on the head with a blunt object and several times all over the body with an unknown object. It was also established that the deceased had been sexually abused.

The Midlands Province has the most murder cases, many involving weapons. A police officer, Tafirenyika, shot and killed someone. Another man, Hwami, stabbed two people at a club. Chinyati killed his cousin over food. Trust Khaki was convicted for killing his daughter. The daughter had injuries and was sexually abused. These cases show how serious and dangerous murder is, and people can go to jail for a long time for committing such crimes. It is important to always resolve conflicts peacefully and not resort to violence.

Midlands Province Tops Murder Cases, 90% Of Killings Involve Lethal Weapons

The government has suspended all road projects in Midlands Province until the completion of investigations into what officials have described as an over-pricing racket that is bleeding the economy.
This comes amid reports that some service providers pegged their prices based on black market exchange rates as high as $2 000 to the United States dollar.
The speculative exchange rates have been blamed for causing exchange rate volatility and subsequent exorbitant price hikes.
In an interview with State media on Tuesday, Midlands provincial roads engineer Denis Mupfurira said:
<blockquote>
The Government has suspended all road projects in the Midlands as it embarks on value-for-money investigations aimed at fighting the pricing racket that is bleeding the economy.
… generally, we have the US$7 million Boterekwa Road dualisation, and the Mberengwa Centre-Mataga Road construction among others that have been suspended pending the value-for-money investigations.
All projects running will have to be reviewed because there was generally overpricing being done and this is not good for the economy.
We are not saying all projects or tenders were being inflated, but most of them and soon we will able to know which ones will proceed and which ones will need retendering after the investigations by the Government.
</blockquote>
In September this year, it emerged that the Parliament of Zimbabwe was billed US$10 000 per laptop, which is way above general market prices for laptops.
In another overpricing incident, a 2kg pack of chicken was claimed to be worth US$30 against market prices of a maximum of US$6. | <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/government-suspends-all-road-projects-in-midlands/">Chronicle</a>

Govt Suspends All Road Projects In Midlands Province

The Midlands Province received a batch of 15 000 COVID-19 vaccine doses after Gweru, the provincial capital, was declared a hotspot by the Health and the Child Care Ministry last Thursday.
Besides Gweru, Kwekwe, Gokwe North and Mberengwa are the other districts in Midlands that have also experienced a surge in coronavirus infections in the past few weeks.
Acting Midlands Provincial Director Reginald Mhene told a Midlands provincial COVID-19 task force meeting that they intend to decentralise the vaccination programme to all clinics. He said:
<blockquote>Going forward, our visibility should be felt in all communities. We are going to concentrate on the hotspots so that we curtail the spread of this pandemic.
We want all our clinics to have the vaccines so we decongest main centres. We have noted that the situation on the ground now requires us to up our game.</blockquote>
Speaking at the same meeting, Midlands Provincial Affairs Minister Senator Larry Mavima said:
<blockquote>We need to have everybody vaccinated as soon as possible. We are also looking at making sure there is enforcement of measures announced by Government on new lockdown rules.
We need to be strict. We are beginning to see changes on our roads particularly following the ban on inter-city travel.</blockquote>
More than 72 000 people in Midlands have already received their first dose in the province, while 55 000 have received their second shots.

The management and employees at Mimosa Mine have reportedly defrauded the miner a shocking $700K by forging acting allowance forms for the past 7 years Mining Zimbabwe reports.
The salary fixing scandal saw some employees claiming salary allowances for over 70 employees each employee reportedly getting $300 but these allowances never went to the respective employees but to the employees and managers in question’s pockets.
According to the source that spoke to the publication:
<blockquote>Since 2012 these individuals bypassed the payroll and salary department to get allowances for every employee of the Mine as they saw a loophole through complicity.
One employee from our department brought 40k USD to the management, the amount he said has been paid for the duration of the scam saying that he kept it because he knew this would be brought to light.</blockquote>
37 employees have been dismissed from the mining company following the scandal. Mimosa is one of the country’s largest platinum mines which operate in the country’s <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Midlands_Province">Midlands province</a>.
