Traditionally, beauty pageants and polarizing topics like politics and social justice are said to mix poorly. But, due to social unrest and a swell of protests, the Miss Universe Organization has taken a stand in supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. Former Miss USA Cheslie Kryst told Insider she is proud to stand with the organization in supporting the movement and the Black community. In the early stages of her career, Kryst said she didn’t think discussing issues important to her identity as a Black woman would be welcomed on the pageant stage. "I had never dreamed of a time when an organization as large as this, in pageantry, would be posting on its official channels that Black lives matter," she said. "As soon as I saw that post go up on our Instagram pages, I was like, 'Wow. How cool, not just that I'm a pageant fan and a woman in society that I get to see this, but also that I'm one of the titleholders who gets to continue pushing this message.'"
A FAMILY in Pfungwe district, Mashonaland East province, is being investigated for allegedly dumping a male relative’s corpse at his girlfriend's home, accusing her of murder, NewsDay Weekender has learnt. BY JAIROS SAUNYAMA Provincial police spokesperson Inspector Tendai Mwanza said detectives were seized with the matter. “Some police officers have since been deployed to investigate the matter and the family has since collected the body for burial. The suspect is, however, still at large,” he said. The deceased, Misheck Reza (25) was allegedly killed by his lover Juliet Munhuwa in a scuffle after he had caught her red handed with another man inside a makeshift tent along the Mazowe River banks. Munhuwa, a gold panner from Gurupira village under Chief Chitsungo’s area, is currently on the run after the murder. NewsDay Weekender is reliably informed that Reza’s family members dumped his corpse at Munhuwa’s family home demanding compensation. The body was removed from the homestead yesterday following the intervention of police. It is reported that on November 4, at around midnight, Reza stormed into the suspect’s tent and found her being intimate with another man, leading to a fist fight. The suspect allegedly picked a stone and struck Reza on the head. The two later headed towards Chikukwa business centre. Along the way, the suspect allegedly picked another stone and struck the now deceased again on the head, killing him on the spot. After realising that she had committed a crime, the suspect returned to the tent to collect her belongings and fled from the area.

Harare City Council has cancelled an agreement of sale it had with Kubatana Art and Craft Centre as the land is now earmarked for the development of the Museum of African Liberation. BY HARRIET CHIKANDIWA Cabinet last month announced plans to build the museum aimed at decolonising the liberation war history. In a letter dated November 9, 2020 addressed to the chairperson of Kubatana Art and Craft Co-operatives, council’s acting finance director Stanley Ndemera said the co-operative would be allocated land elsewhere. “Please be advised that the city has cancelled the sale of stand 5797 Warren Park township to your cooperative and request you to vacate the premise with immediate effect to pave way for national development,” part of the letter read. “The government is interested in the space bound by Golden quarry Road Samora Machel (Bulawayo Road) and Westlea residential suburb, including the old dumpsite to develop a Museum of African liberation.” He said an alternative stand of equivalent value would be identified as compensation. “Further bear in mind that there will be a ground-breaking ceremony to kickstart the project which will be attended by African Heads of State and several high-profile dignitaries from across the continent in December.” l Follow Harriet on Twitter @harrietchikand1

VICE-PRESIDENT Constantino Chiwenga yesterday warned that the COVID-19 pandemic could soon blow out of control as the majority of Zimbabweans were reluctant to follow safety measures prescribed by government and health experts. BY PRAISEMORE SITHOLE Chiwenga made the remarks at a health expo and COVID-19 awareness cycling campaign in Makokoba, Bulawayo. Chiwenga, who doubles as Health minister, said government was worried that citizens were reluctant to wear masks and sanitise their hands. “It is unfortunate that some people in their own wisdom decide to engage in a relaxed mode. As of November 11, cumulative cases stood at 8 666, with 366 active cases, 255 deaths and 8 046 recoveries,” he said. “About 1 468 were imported cases and 7 199 were transmitted locally. The cases that we got in other countries are now few. So let us be very careful as a nation. “It has become a common feature to catch sight of our brothers and sisters disregarding wearing masks. If they wear those, most of them are left hanging like a necklace.” “Scientists have said the virus targets mostly those with weaker systems, but I say, it targets those who are more reckless. The virus is real and it kills, we want to prevent it because we do not want to lose any life due to the virus,” Chiwenga said. “Some of our neighbouring countries have higher cases and we should be very careful because the situation is not good. The rate at which the virus is transmitted locally is now the most worrying,” he said. “Vagaries of the pandemic have continued to adversely impact on the socio-economy of our citizens and subsequently, the national and collective security,” Chiwenga said. “The pandemic has militated one of the worst economic recessions for many countries that were left with no choice but to turn to the Bretton Woods and other institutions for financial support,” he said. The event was attended by Bulawayo Metropolitan Affairs minister Judith Ncube, Sports minister Kirsty Coventry and Industry and Commerce deputy minister Raji Modi.
