A RUSHINGA spirit medium’s aide, Kingston Kazasi (81), was allegedly murdered by two unknown Mozambicans in Rushinga last week. By SIMBARASHE SITHOLE The two suspects claimed to have come from Zenga village in Mozambique. Mashonaland Central province acting police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Fedelis Dhewu confirmed the murder case. “I can confirm a murder case in Rushinga, where an 81-year-old man was killed with machetes,” Dhewu said. Allegations are that the two suspects, dressed in black, arrived at Kazasi’s homestead pretending that they wanted to pay for services they received from the late spirit medium Everisto Meki, popularly known as Hokoto. The unsuspecting Kazasi, who was sleeping in his bedroom hut, was called by his wife Esteri Kazasi (62). When he got out, the suspects asked for cigarettes from the now-deceased and were given some. They further asked for a room to sleep claiming that their motorbike had had a tyre puncture. They were offered a room, but they turned violent and pulled machetes which they used to assault Kazasi. He died on the spot and the two fled into darkness. Police are still investigating the matter and have appealed to anyone with information in relation to the whereabouts of the suspects to assist them.
The 2020-21 farming season started badly in Chiredzi after a 21-year-old Hippo Valley man was struck and killed by lighting on Sunday night this week. BY GARIKAI MAFIRAKUREVA According to a police report, the deceased, Herbert Mukwetura of Chishamiso village, was in the company of four workmates on their way to work at Tongaat Huletts Hippo Valley Mill. Mukwetura died on the spot, while his colleagues were immediately rushed to Hippo Valley Medical Centre for treatment, where they were said to be in a stable condition. The report further states that the five were struck by a bolt of lightning on a flyover on their way to the mill. These were the first rains in Chiredzi. Violent thunderstorms characterised by strong winds have so far destroyed infrastructure and a number of residents were left homeless in various provinces across the country including Gwanda since the onset of the rain season. In Chipinge, roofs of two classroom blocks at Chisavanye Primary School in ward 22 of Musikavanhu constituency were blown away two weeks ago. Climate experts predict higher than average rainfall in the 2020-21 cropping season. According to the latest Global Agricultural Geo-monitoring Initiative global outlook report, Southern Africa may receive more rainfall compared to the 2019-20 farming season pointing towards greater chances of a La Nina. The Meteorological Services Department has since issued a warning to the public about weather-related hazards including floods, hailstorms, and lightning among others as the rainy season starts. Having experienced Cyclone Idai in 2019, climate change and disaster preparedness now becomes important themes for discussion in Zimbabwe. Follow NewsDay on Twitter @NewsDayZimbabwe

At least 43 farm workers have been killed and 6 others wounded by Boko Haram near the northeastern city of Maiduguri on Saturday.
Anti-jihadist told militia that the victims were working in a rice field before the attack.
According to the militia, the assailants tied up the agricultural works and then slit their throats in the village of Koshobe.
\"We have recovered 43 dead bodies, all of them slaughtered, along with six others with serious injuries,\" said militia leader Babakura Kolo, who helped the survivors.
\"It is no doubt the handiwork of Boko Haram who operate in the area and frequently attack farmers\", he added.
Another militiaman Ibrahim Liman said ‘’ there were 60 farmers who were contracted to harvest paddy in the rice fields.’’ 8 others were missing and presumed to have been kidnapped by jihadists, he told AFP.
The bodies were taken to Zabarmari village, two kilometres away. They would be kept here ahead of burial on Sunday, resident Mala Bunu, who took part in the search and rescue operation said.
In September, Boko Haram militants killed 22 farmers working on their irrigation fields near Maiduguri in two separate incidents.
Boko Haram and ISWAP, it IS-linked rival, have increasingly targeted loggers, herders and fishermen in their violent campaign. The nefarious group accuses their victims of spying and passing information to the military and local militia fighting them.
At least 36,000 people have been killed in the jihadist conflict, which has displaced around two million since 2009.

[Daily Trust] Some years ago, I was a guest at an event organized by the British Museum in London. One of the perks of being a guest of the museum was a private tour (with the other guests) of a select exhibit. I seem to remember that what we were shown were exclusively Nigerian. The director of the museum, I think it was, sounded very proud of them, proprietary even of the artefacts. You know the kind of pride a new parent has in their tone when they are showing off their infant? That tone. And then some. They were bea

By Associated Press undefined FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Republicans have picked up their 11th seat overall in the U.S. House and the third seat in California, as Republican David Valadao reclaimed the seat he lost in the farm belt two years ago. The former congressman defeated Democratic Rep. TJ Cox, who ousted Valadao in the 21st Congressional District two years ago by 862 votes. Valadao endorsed President Donald Trump after withholding his backing in 2016 — a risk in a swing district the president lost by 15 points four years ago. But he also stressed his independence, criticizing the Trump […]
