BY SILAS NKALA The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) has implored State and non-State actors to uphold the right of people to good health by joining the World Health Organisation (WHO) in calling for an equitable rollout of vaccines in every country. The ZLHR made the remarks as it joined the world in celebrating the World Health Day which is observed every year on April 7. This comes at a time when Zimbabwe has since started rolling out the COVID-19 vaccination programme, starting with the frontline workers. The country has so far vaccinated over 140 000 people with Chinese vaccines, Sinopham and Sinovac, since February 22. “Coronavirus (COVID-19) has revealed the stark global inequality that exists with regards to access to quality healthcare. High-income countries that have robust healthcare systems, despite being harshly affected by COVID-19, have been able to respond to the pandemic through the manufacture and speedy rollout of vaccines,” the lawyers’ group said. “In contrast, low-income nations with vulnerable less resilient health systems have borne the brunt of the suffering caused by the pandemic.” The lawyers added: “This inequity of health outcomes highlights the need for all nations to cooperate on the manufacture of vaccines and their distribution to all persons across the globe as soon as possible. “The attainment of a society that is fairer and healthier is dependent on this collaboration of all nations in the fight against COVID-19.” This year, WHO has called for the acceleration of vaccine equity for all healthcare workers and those who are at highest risk of contracting COVID-19. According to WHO, the best way to end the pandemic, stop future variants, save lives and limit the spread of the virus is to vaccinate quickly and equitably, starting with healthcare workers. “Healthcare workers have been at the forefront of the pandemic since its beginning and they remain disproportionately exposed to the virus in comparison to other population groups. ” “Therefore, inclusive vaccination of all healthcare workers is necessary for the prevention of the spread of the virus to the rest of the population,” ZLHR said.

BY KENNEDY NYAVAYA CONTROVERSIAL dancehall chanter Soul Jah Love has once again confirmed his undying love for ex-wife Bounty Lisa through a yet-to-be released song titled Hatisisiritose if a snippet from the video of the track shared on DKT Family Records Facebook page on Wednesday is anything to go by. In the song that features Humba, Soul Jah Love recounts the misery of losing the love of his life who has since moved on and re-married a secret lover only identified as Paul. They have since been blessed with a baby boy. Bounty Lisa and Soul Jah Love, who had become a celebrity couples, had a nasty break-up as a result of the latter’s supposed violent behaviour and excessive drug abuse. “Munhu wese anoda ku winner hapana anoda ku loser asi apa ndinenge ndaka loser ndangova fuza (Everyone wants to win, no one wants to lose, but on this one I lost and I am going crazy),” he sings in one of the verses. In the same song, Soul Jah Love suggests that the songstress should remove the tattoo inscribed with his name at the height of their love in 2017 while also threatening that theirs will forever be a love triangle as he could not let go of her. “… bvisa tattoo manga mafunga ka two nyangwe muchiti makugara zvenyu muri two, titori three inini handife ndakaita free ndomufunga ginya (… remove the tattoo if you have decided to live together, this will be a love triangle because I will never be free as I always think of you).” This is not the first time, Soul Jah Love has gone public about his intimate feelings for his ex-wife. “We are currently separated, but honestly speaking, I love that woman from the bottom of my heart and I will never love someone else the way I do to her. I may be immoral outside my marital home, but that won’t change the fact that I love her,” he said in a radio interview last year. While Soul Jah Love appears to still have warmth for Bounty Lisa, it could be too late to rekindle the flame with the song coming at a time the songstress appears to have settled with her new man.
