The voting platform for ZAA SA will open on the ZAA website starting from October 25 to November 20,” he said, adding that a Botswana-based company, Adventureland, had partnered them as brand ambassadors in the new era of celebrating Zimbabweans in Botswana.

THE Zimbabwe consul in South Africa, Melody Chaurura, has announced that only five buses will be cleared daily to transport Zimbabwean returnees from the neighbouring country. BY NQOBANI NDLOVU Chaurura said this in response to reports that there was chaos at the country’s ports of entry with Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) officials refusing to clear buses ferrying returnees. She said all buses to be cleared should have a clearance certificate from the consulate to avoid being denied entry into Zimbabwe. “All buses involved in the repatriation of Zimbabwean nationals from South Africa are with immediate effect required to obtain travel clearance from the consulate of Zimbabwe in Johannesburg two days before the intended departure date,” she said in a notice. “This applies to all except for those travelling from Cape provinces who should approach the Zimbabwe consulate in Cape Town for clearance. To avoid congestion at the port of entry, a minimum of five buses will be cleared to travel per day.” Passengers and bus crew are required to have a COVID-19-free certificate obtained within 48 hours, the notice added. Millions of Zimbabweans are domiciled in South Africa, legally and illegally, in search for a better life due to the deteriorating economic conditions in the country. lFollow Nqobani on Twitter via @NqobaniNdlovu

The lack of space in New Zealand’s state-managed quarantine facilities have been causing distress for a South African family who has been separated for more than 10 months from one another.
The new cases come from 1,187 samples tested on Saturday at border points and the Uganda Virus Research Institute.
At least 19 of the new cases are Ugandan truck drivers who entered the country through the Elegu and Busia border points while four cases were from community infections.
According to the Ministry of Health, all the community cases are contacts of truck drivers who tested positive for the virus.
Uganda's new cases come at a time when the number of cases reported on the African continent is on the rise.
WHO Regional Director for Africa Matshidiso Moeti says despite the rise in the number of cases, there is still hope that the effect of the disease on the continent might not be as dire as earlier predicted.
He had two children with Khathutshelo Moyo, who went underground since the discovery of his body, on the outskirts of Beitbridge, a short distance from where police recovered a Honda Fit suspected to have been used to ferry the mutilated corpse.
Neighbours yesterday said police had come several times looking for Moyo known to have called one of their children using a South African mobile number to ask “if the dog she killed had been picked or it would rot in the bush”.
According to a police memorandum dated May 22 addressed to the provincial head of criminal investigations in Matabeleland South, one Superintendent Ncube, Ribombo was murdered on May 19 at Moyo’s homestead in Mapolobela village under Chief Matibe.
Police found struggle marks on the ground at Moyo’s home and further investigations showed blood near a well in the yard, blood stains on stones and on a hoe handle that might have been used to bludgeon the victim.
Outside the gate, there were tyre marks where the trace of the blood was last observed,” police said in the memo.
SOUTH AFRICA-BASED Zimbabwean Afro fusion singer Philani “Phitso” Mhlanga has combined his voice with sungura musician Peter “Young Igwe” Moyo to denounce girl child abuse in song. The song, titled Dare Pavarume, was produced by Oscar Chamba of KOM Studios in Harare. BY WINSTONE ANTONIO The project comes amid a surge in cases of abuse of girl children during the coronavirus pandemic. The five-and-a-half minute song, which is available on YouTube, Reverberation, Spotify and iTunes, denounces girl child abuse. In an interview with NewsDay Life & Style yesterday, Phitso said art played an important role in educating the masses, hence the use of music to make sure that people appreciate the dangers associated with abusing the girl child. “Every woman is special, she must be respected. All men must protect the girl child. So through this song, we are saying it’s high time men speak out and educate each other to end this evil behaviour by fellow men in society,” he said. “Some of the situations that our sisters and mothers are in today are a result of us men who are causing their suffering. It’s time, the world started to respect women and those who abuse them in different ways should be punished.” Phitso, who frontlines The Legacy Band said he drew inspiration from the late music icons Oliver Mtukudzi and Tongai Moyo. In a bid to advocate for a better society through his craft, Phitso recently released a single titled Manyanya that has political connotations, which challenge and encourage men to provide for their families. Phitso said he had shelved plans to release his forthcoming album, Chigondora to concentrate on single releases in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. “We have decided to put on hold the release of the album Chigondora and concentrate on singles that will be timely in the midst of this global COVID-19 pandemic that has affected almost every sector of life,” he said. Born in the Checheche area of Chipinge, Phitso released his debut gospel album titled NaJesu Tinosvika Chete in 2013. It was followed by Dream Again Zvinoita the following year, which had hit songs MaZimbabwe, Ibva Muroad and Zvinoita. Follow Winstone on Twitter @widzoanto
