Masvingo acting town clerk Edward Mukarat-
irwa confirmed the scam and told The Mirror
that the local authority has since sent a bill of
RTGS$1 million to the co-operative for the five
years that the households were not paying for
water.
Masvingo Residents and Ratepayers Alliance
(MURRA) spokesperson Godfrey Mutimba
condemned the complacency at Masvingo City
Council that resulted in failure to detect “water
thefts” for five years.
He also condemned Zexcom for involving itself
in a criminal activity.
The City only came to know about this illegal
connection after a burst water pipe was re-
ported in the area in November last year.
Efforts to get a comment from Zexcom director
Getrude Gudza were futile.
“I am at a doctor’s office. Please try and call
me later,” said Gudza whose mobile phone
could not be reached afterwards.
Documents seen by The Mirror show that
Zexcom wrote to suspended City engineer
Tawanda Gozo in 2016 applying for water con-
nection to members’ houses but Gozo alleg-
edly never responded.
“We condemn Zexcom for this act of lawless-
ness. Masvingo City Council should however,
speed up the provision of water to residents,”
said Mutimba.

Runyararo Primary head

loses US$$3 757 case
SIMBARASHE MTEMBO

MASVINGO – Runyararo Primary head Tsungirai Team on +263 260910 or [email protected]

Gono and the School Development Committee
(SDC) have lost a case in which they wanted
to pay an IT expert for services rendered to the
school in RTGS$ instead of the agreed US$.
The school wanted the whole debt cancelled
allegedly because IAO DTECH Consultancy
director, David Israel Angels had contravened
Statutory Instrument 212 of 2019 (exclusive
use of the Zimbabwean dollar for domestic
transactions) by charging in US$.
Runyararo head, the SDC and Angels had
running battles over the matter with the latter
demanding that he be paid in US$ for the
computers he supplied to the school and the
computer networking he did.
Angels took the matter to court after the
school refused to the US$.
Runyararo Primary was ordered to pay the debt
in US$ after hearing arguments from the two
parties. The school was represented by Rodney
Makausi of Makausi Law Chambers.
The work was done between February 12 and
24, 2020. Angels also told the court that Gono
was demanding bribes for her to authorise
US$ payments.
The SDC argued that IAO DTECH Consultancy
contravened the exchange control regula-
tions citing statutory instrument 212 of 2019
(exclusive use of the Zimbabwean dollar for
domestic transactions).
Angels cited SI 212 of 19 (4d) which states
that transactions conducted through author-
ized dealers for which payments are permitted
to be in any foreign currency in terms of any
directive issued in terms of section 35 of the
exchange control regulations.
“The application is dismissed with no order as
to costs,” reads the verdict given to the special
plea.
The matter has been in the courts since March
2020 when Gono filed a peace order against
Angels accusing him of disturbing her peace
by going to her residence in ZBS Masvingo and
calling her on her phone demanding payment. PC

The Chairperson of the Zimbabwe Land Commission, Commissioner

Tendai, R. W. Bare, Commissioners and the Secretariat Staff wish to join His
Excellency, President E.D. Mnangagwa in commemorating Zimbabwe's 41st
Independence Anniversary.

As we observe our nation's Independence, we are aware that the country

is grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic which has had far-reaching
effects on our economy and citizens' health. Despite this enormous
obstacle, the Zimbabwe Land Commission (ZLC) continues to discharge its
Constitutional Mandate to ensure that there is fairness, transparency and
accountability in the administration and management of agricultural land
in Zimbabwe.

We are buoyant with confidence that the Global Compensation Deed

Agreement is creating closure to the land reform question. More so, the
heavens have smiled on your quick-witted leadership, and the agricultural
sector is getting on, and food self-sufficiency is guaranteed. Farmers are
genuinely motivated, land tenure structures are reinforced, and the Land
Reform Programme is enduring, resulting in an enhanced quality of life
for our citizens.

Your Excellency, as Zimbabwe strives with Growing its Economy for a

Prosperous, Resilient and Inclusive Society, the ZLC wishes you and the
entire nation a happy Zim@41.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

HAPPY 41ST INDEPENDENCE DAY

Brave men and women gave their lives for the freedom of our nation
 
  

and brought glory to us through their sacrifice. It’s now our turn, all
of us, to apply every skill, every talent and every ability at our
command to make the prosperous Zimbabwe they fought and bled


for a bankable reality.

To propel this nation to Upper Middle Income status through hard

work and commitment, as His Excellency the President, Cde. Dr. E.D
Mnangagwa, has urged us to, we can sit on neither hand nor laurel,
but must strive every day to make our presence count in a New
Dispensation that is so full of promise.

At the Public Service Commission, we are focused on facilitating the

establishment and management of a devolved system of public
administration that effectively leads and propels Zimbabwe to
greater heights of sustainable and inclusive social and economic
growth and prosperity for all citizens.

We are championing an Empowered Public Service geared towards

leading and propelling sustainable and inclusive socio-economic
growth and prosperity for all citizens of Zimbabwe. As we do so, we
celebrate our country’s rich endowment in human capital, and
pledge to do our best to identify, recruit, develop and empower the
right people for the Public Service jobs that will help deliver the
aspirations of Zimbabwe’s Vision 2030.

On this our 41st Independence Day, may God bless Zimbabwe and
the works of our hands by strengthening those hands to work!
