Zimbabwe’s Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister, Monica Mutsvangwa, recently spoke on <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Newzroom Afrika</a> about the state of the country’s economy and the recently passed <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Criminal Law</a> (Codification and Reform) Amendment Bill, also known as the Patriotic Bill.
During the interview, the minister appeared to have difficulty explaining the details of the bill and what it entails. Watch the video below for more:

The bill seeks to amend the country’s <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">criminal code</a> and introduce <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">new</a> offences related to undermining the authority of the government, among other things. 
The Bill makes it a crime to participate in any meeting where sanctions or trade boycotts against Zimbabwe are considered or planned, regardless of whether the sanctions are targeted or general.
Similarly, it is a crime to attend a meeting where there is talk of military intervention or the overthrow of the constitutional government in Zimbabwe.
If someone raises these issues at a meeting and you then promote or encourage them, you may be charged with a crime, even if you did not know the agenda beforehand. Punishments for offenders are not specified in the Bill.

WATCH: Information Minister Mutsvangwa Speaks On Patriotic Bill

The government has scaled up efforts to manage veld fires following an increase in cases and deaths in the country this year.
In a post Cabinet briefing, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Monica_Mutsvangwa">Monica Mutsvangwa</a> said several strategies have been put in place to manage veld fires.
She said as of 12 October 2022, a total of 5 386 fire incidences were reported and burnt 1.2 million hectares of land while <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/president-mnangagwa-mourns-10-farm-workers-who-died-fighting-veld-fire/">18 lives have been lost</a> in the infernos. Senator Mutsvangwa said:
<blockquote>
Cabinet received a report on the National Status and Strategies to Manage Veld Fires as presented by the Minister of Environment, Climate, Tourism and Hospitality Industry, Honourable Mangaliso Ndlovu. The nation is being informed that the year 2022 is showing an upsurge in uncontrolled fire problems threatening the gains realised in the past.
As at 12 October 2022, a total of 5 386 fire incidences were reported and burnt 1 244 227.34 hectares of land. The majority of the fires were recorded in A1 and A2 Resettlement areas, protected areas such as Safari areas, national parks and gazetted forests. The area burnt increased by 58.6 percent from the same period in 2021. The nation has lost 18 precious lives this year from these fires.
</blockquote>
<h2>Way forward:</h2>
Cabinet has resolved to strengthen the implementation of a number of strategies to manage veld fires. These include:
<blockquote>
i). Constituting Fire Coordination Teams at the district, provincial and national levels. The teams will work with AGRITEX to facilitate localised training, education and awareness of fire management.
ii). The Forestry Commission is expected to immediately conduct fire fighting refresher courses in Rural District Councils. 
iii). Establishment of rapid response teams in all villages and wards across the country, 
iv). Acquisition of modern fire-fighting equipment in the medium and long term and setting up of teams for fire audits.
v). Stiffer penalties for offenders and the traditional leaders to play a prominent role. 
vi). Temporary deposit accounts in the districts and provinces be replenished with petty cash for prompt response to disasters using the country’s decentralised civil protection structures.

Govt Scales Up Efforts To Manage Veld Fires As Deaths Continue Increasing

Cabinet has received and approved the Electoral Amendment Bill 2022 which, among other things, scrapped the proof of residence requirement for voter registration.
The Bill was presented by Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi. 
The development was announced during a post-Cabinet briefing on Tuesday by Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa.
<h2>Changes brought by the Bill:</h2>
<blockquote>
1). Prospective voters are now required to produce a valid passport or national identity card as proof of identity before they register to vote. Previously, prospective voters were required to produce proof of residence to register to vote and some tenants would face challenges in acquiring the proof of residence as some landlords were not so keen to indulge them.
2). The Bill seeks to amend the Electoral Act [Chapter 2:13] to provide for the timeframe within which national assembly and local authority candidates can withdraw from contesting in an election.
3). The Bill will also provide for the incorporation of the 30 percent women quota as well as the youth quota and the amendment of the definition of proof of identity.
</blockquote>
While some Zimbabweans have welcomed the new Bill saying it will make it easier for those without proof of residence papers to register to vote, <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/electoral-stakeholders-raise-concern-over-secrecy-surrounding-the-electoral-amendment-bill-2022/">some electoral stakeholders bemoan “secrecy” surrounding the Bill.</a>
They say Minister Ziyambi did not consult as required by the laws of the land.

Proof Of Residence No Longer Required For Voter Registration - Electoral Amendment Bill 2022

Information, Broadcasting and Publicity Minister, Senator <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Monica_Mutsvangwa">Monica Mutsvangwa</a> has condemned the <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/ccc-security-assaults-newshawks-journalist-in-chinhoyi/">“barbaric and outrageous assault of journalists”</a> at a Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) rally in Chinhoyi over the weekend.
NewsHawks journalist <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/ccc-security-assaults-newshawks-journalist-in-chinhoyi/">Ruvimbo Muchenje</a> and Nunurai Jena were harassed by the party’s security personnel who were manning the event. 
In a statement seen by Pindula News, Minister Mutsvangwa said:
<blockquote>
<h2>ASSAULT OF JOURNALISTS AT A RALLY IN CHINHOYI AT THE WEEKEND </h2>
The Ministry condemns the barbaric and outrageous assault of journalists at a rally in Chinhoyi over the weekend.
The journalists, Ruvimbo Muchenje and Nunurai Jena were humiliated, harassed and prevented from executing their duties by party security officers as they tried to gain entry into Gadzema stadium to cover the rally on 11 September 2022.
We have witnessed this trend of harassing and assaulting reporters growing in the last couple of weeks and as Government we do not condone any acts of violence against journalists. Political parties should remember they are responsible for mishaps that happen at their rallies and should at all times restrain their supporters and security officers. The attack on female journalists borders on gender-based violence, something we have strongly spoken about.
It is the right of the media to cover events and for information to be given to them. Political parties should not muzzle the Press and decide the events they want them to cover. 
</blockquote>
CCC’s national spokesperson, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Fadzayi_Mahere">Fadzayi Mahere</a> said an assault on Ruvimbo followed <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/suspected-zanu-pf-activists-detonate-explosives-at-ccc-rally/">the explosion that was recorded at the scene.</a> It is reported that <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/mahere-says-there-was-another-assassination-attempt-on-nelson-chamisa/">suspected petrol bombs exploded</a> at the scene. <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/ccc-confirms-assault-on-journalist-ruvimbo-muchenje-issues-apology/">Said Mahere:</a>
<blockquote>
After the detonation of the explosives, the security team immediately intensified security at all entry points of the venue to safeguard against a further security breach inside the venue. The security team further had to manage the panicked crowd which was trying to run to safety. 
In the midst of this emergency response effort, a misunderstanding arose between journalist Ruvimbo Muchenje and one of our security officers leading to a regrettable incident of assault. Our communications team immediately stepped in to de-escalate the incident.
</blockquote>
Mahere said the party had since approached Ruvimbo Muchenje directly to offer “our unreserved apology for the incident. She graciously accepted our apology. For the avoidance of doubt, we remain committed to ensuring a free and safe environment for journalists who cover our events.”

Information Minister Mutsvangwa Speaks On Assault Of Two Journalists At CCC Rally

The government yesterday said that 38% of the country’s rural population, about 3.8 million people, will face hunger next year.
Speaking during a post-Cabinet briefing, Information minister Monica Mutsvangwa said projections by the Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) for Rural Livelihood Assessment Results (2022) on the country’s food security situation were true.
Senator Mutsvangwa said all the 3.8 million people projected to be food insecure will be targeted as beneficiaries. She added:
<blockquote>
The nation is assured that the country has 490 000 metric tonnes of grain in the strategic grain reserve. Thus, the 
120 000 metric tonnes required to support the needy households will be sufficiently covered.
Government will distribute food to all the needy households in provinces. World Food Programme and other development partners are expected to channel their food assistance through government structures as per 
practice.
</blockquote>
Mutsvangwa said distribution of grain would be undertaken through district drought relief committees.
Zimbabwe has for the past two decades faced acute food shortages due to a series of droughts and poor agricultural policies. 
Hunger has been rampant in some regions and as a result, some politicians have been using food hampers to buy votes from the electorate. 
Some Civic Society Organisations have recently expressed fears that the food aid from the government and other stakeholders might be weaponised as the country prepares for the 2023 elections.

Govt Says 3.8 Million Rural Dwellers Facing Hunger Will Be Targeted For Assistance

The Zimbabwean government has assured the nation that no one will die of hunger as prospects for this year’s agricultural season diminish due to poor rains. 
Speaking during a post-cabinet media briefing Tuesday, Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services Minister, Senator <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Monica_Mutsvangwa">Monica Mutsvangwa</a>, said the government was taking measures to ensure food security for the whole nation. She said:
<blockquote>
Cabinet wishes to advise the nation that overall, the first-round crop and livestock survey confirmed that climate change is upon us and affecting agricultural production.
The nation is being assured that every effort is being made to ensure that no Zimbabwean will die of hunger. Adequate stocks of cereals are available for all needy families.
</blockquote>
The country’s 2021/2022 farming season was marked by a false start to the season in most areas of the country, followed by an unevenly distributed rainfall pattern both in space and time, Mutsvangwa said.
 As a result, the area planted to maize decreased by 1 per cent from 1 920 541 hectares in the 2020/21 season to 1 903 669 hectares in 2021/2022. 
There was also a general decrease in the hectarage for crops planted with tobacco, the country’s major cash crop, declining by 11 per cent, sorghum 2 per cent, pearl millet 25 per cent, finger millet 40 per cent and cotton by 23 per cent.
Mutsvangwa said going forward, the government will intensify the implementation of several measures to mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure household food self-sufficiency. 
The announcement made by Mutsvangwa comes when Zimbabwe is already facing a <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/03/05/zimbabwe-begins-to-feel-impact-of-the-russia-ukraine-war/">shortage of wheat</a> as a result of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The conflict is also likely to reduce aid to the Southern African country as donors have elsewhere to send humanitarian aid.
