BY STEPHEN CHADENGA A DILAPIDATED Pfende Club House in Gweru city’s ward 2 has been turned into a clinic, easing the burden on people from the area who used to walk a long distance to Whawha Prison Clinic to access health services, Southern Eye has learnt. Gweru Urban legislator Brian Dube (MDC Alliance), who spearheaded the project, said they were putting final touches to the structure before it is handed over to Gweru City Council for official opening. “The place was a dilapidated small building that we demolished and reconstructed to a standard modern clinic as prescribed by health guidelines,” Dube said. “This clinic will have all facilities for primary health care to help the people in ward 2 who have been walking to Whawha Clinic.” Ward 2 resident Sheila Runzombe said: “As women, we are elated that we now have a clinic in this ward and I would want to thank the MP for coming up with this project.” Last year, Dube helped in turning Ivene Club House into a state-of-the-art clinic before also handing it over to council.

A November 26 letter from the presidency asked the head of Uganda's national drug authority to 'work out a mechanism' to clear the importation of the vaccines.
China has about five COVID-19 vaccine candidates at different levels of trials. It was not clear what vaccine was being imported into Uganda.
One of the frontrunners is the Sinopharm vaccine developed by the Beijing Institute of Biological Product, a unit of Sinopharm’s China National Biotec Group (CNBG).
On Wednesday, the United Arab Emirates said the vaccine has 86% efficacy, citing an interim analysis of late-stage clinical trials.
China has used the drug to vaccinate up to a million people under its emergency use program.
On Tuesday, Morocco said it was ordering up to 10 million doses of the vaccine.
Record cases
Uganda on Monday registered 701 new COVID-19 cases, the highest-ever daily increase, bringing its national count to 23,200.
The new cases were out of the 5,578 samples tested for the novel coronavirus over the past 24 hours, the country's health ministry said in a statement.
Tuesday's tally was 606, the second-highest ever number of new infections, bringing the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the east African country to 23,860.

Could Ethical Capital Exist?
Former Ivorian CEO of Credit Suisse, Tidjane Thiam, has joined the Council for an Inclusive Capitalism — a US organisation which brings together some 20 world business leaders and advocates for a virtuous vision of the market economy and is officially in partnership with the Vatican as of Tuesday’s announcement. Tidjane is among a group of investors and leaders of major global corporations — often referred to by some as \"gatekeepers,\" who are supposedly committed to \"reforming capitalism for the good of humanity\" and who want to promote the private sector's drive to make capitalism operate more in line with justice, inclusion and sustainable development.
These leaders — who represent more than 10.5 trillion USD in assets under management, are scheduled to meet annually with Pope Francis and Ghanaian Cardinal Peter Turkson.
Turkson is one of two African cardinals expected to succeed Benedict XVI in 2013 and become the first \"black pope\" in history.
By GEIR MOULSON Associated Press BERLIN (AP) — German Chancellor Angela Merkel advocated tougher restrictions on public life Wednesday and pleaded with her compatriots to cut down on socializing as the country reported its highest single-day death toll of the coronavirus pandemic.

The national disease control center, the Robert Koch Institute, reported 590 deaths related to COVID-19 over the […]
