Tired of walking long distances to access medical services, villagers in Dumba, Beitbridge East constituency, have pulled resources together to build a clinic at a local business centre.

BY SILAS NKALA

In June last year, the villagers appealed to the government and development agencies to construct primary health care facilities in the district.

It is reported that in some areas, villagers are travelling over 15 kilometres to the nearest health institution.

According to World Health Organisation standards, people must not walk for more than 8km to access primary health facilities.

Dumba business centre is located 30km east of the border town and recently councillor for Ward 15 (Shabwe), Meniere Boy Ndou told the villagers that they have since identified sites where more clinics could be constructed with Dumba business centre being one of them.

Area legislator Albert Nguluvhe (Zanu PF) has donated towards the project.

“This afternoon (Saturday), I met with the Dumba community. They have put together resources to build a clinic at their business centre. So far, they have moulded 20 000 standard bricks,” Nguluvhe said on the constituency development update platform.

“I have donated 100 bags of cement to mould 18 000 more bricks. I will continue to mobilise resources to support their initiative. Let us continue to work together in promoting infrastructure development in our area.”

An estimated 160 000 people live in Beitbridge with 100 000 believed to be in the rural part of the district.

Recently, the Beitbridge Rural District Council, in partnership with the International Organisation for Migration, constructed a new clinic to service close to 6 000 villagers in Chabili.

A BEITBRIDGE magistrate has dismissed an ex-parte application by Vice-President Kembo Mohadi seeking to have solitary access to a bank account he jointly holds together with two other businessmen he has since dumped.

Beitbridge magistrate Perseverance Makala gave Mohadi, through his lawyer Norman Mugiyo, a date to come for a proper hearing and that he must serve for the hearing Oscar Chiromo, Tichaona Mushipe and the CBZ Bank cited in the failed application as respondents number 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

Makala also found the “embarrassingly defective” chamber application by Mugiyo for Mohadi was not urgent.

“In what terms of rules are you basing your application, since it’s not mentioned in form c1/17 of the new rules and order,” asked Makala, who also failed to understand why the application was devoid of commissioned affidavits, a basic requirement.

“Order 22 Rule 7 of the Civil Rules indicate the procedure to be followed when it comes to an ex parte application. I am basing on Order 23,” she said in her dismissal of the application.

She asked Mohadi to proceed by a notice, saying the application before her did not fall under ex parte.

In the application, Mohadi sought an order from the court to allow him to withdraw funds raised from a joint business operation with Chiromo and Mushipe banked with CBZ Bank at Beitbridge.

He alleged the two were refusing to release his money held in an account they jointly opened.

Malindi Storage and Logistics (PVT) Limited, a company Mohadi formed with Chiromo and Mushipe was cited as the first applicant.

Mohadi sometime this year dumbed his partners through another court application in which he said the two were taking advantage of him and misusing his good name.

In that application, Mohadi said he had not gone into the joint venture willingly and wanted out.

HIGHLANDERS… (1) 1
FC PLATINUM… (1) 1

HIGHLANDERS and FC Platinum shared spoils in an exciting Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match at Barbourfields Stadium yesterday that was dominated by the hosts although with a jittery defence.

BY FORTUNE MBELE

FC Platinum remain at the top on the log-standings as Chicken Inn fell to Hwange at the Colliery in a match also played yesterday.

The visitors surged ahead six minutes before the break through their Cameroonian striker Albert Eonde, who capitalised on a defensive blunder by Tendai Ndlovu to beat goalkeeper Ariel Sibanda.

Sibanda got the equaliser for Highlanders in the first half’s optional time from the spot after FC Platinum midfielder Rainsome Pavari fouled Devine Mhindirira inside the penalty box.

It was Sibanda’s fourth goal for Highlanders this season.

FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza praised his charges for the fighting spirit.

“The guys worked very hard. It is about character and fighting for each other. I am happy the boys are pushing and we are still on top. Last week we had just 13 players available and today we had three youngsters from the under-19s. It is not easy at all,” Mapeza said.

On the bench for FC Platinum were three developmental players Hagiazo Magaya, Keith Madera and Panashe Mutimbanyoka.

His counterpart Mandla Mpofu felt his side had dropped two points.

“We cannot make those kind of mistakes that we made at this stage, but overall we played very well. It is two points lost than a point gained. We are not happy with the result. The position that we are in is not looking good and we are not scoring goals; it is one aspect we have to work on,” Mpofu said.

Teams:

Highlanders: A Sibanda, C Siamalonga, M Ndlovu, T Ndlovu, P Muduhwa, N Masuku, R Lunga (M Sibanda 69′), B Banda (A Silla 83′), P Dube, D Mhindirira, C Kapupurika (T Makanda 83′)

FC Platinum: F Tizayi, G Mbweti, G Bello, K Madzongwe, F Madhananga, R Pavari (W Stima 69′), N Tigere, D Chafa, R Kutsanzira, C Sibanda (P Chikwende 38′), A Eonde

Liverpool — Vitality Netball World Cup debutants Zimbabwe, bolstered by a rapturous support, bested Sri Lanka 79-49 to get their campaign off to a flying start yesterday.

With remarkable shooting statistics from both sides, the match was a complete competitive affair.

With their raucous support creating an unparalleled atmosphere, the Zim Gems made a huge impressive with their first ever World Cup victory.

The initial minutes were tentative as each team got a feel for the other, with both connecting well with their shooters. Zimbabwe got balls to goal utilising
their speed and agility, while Sri Lanka delivered the ball to their towering GS Tharjini Sivalingam, who, standing at 6’9, is the tournament’s tallest player

Any turnover in this quarter was to be found either in the centre third or through penalties, and after finally breaking the steady goal-for-goal rhythm that
had started the game, Zimbabwe gathered momentum and with that the lead, ending the first quarter 19-14 ahead.

Sri Lanka came out the blocks fastest at the start of the second quarter, quickly reducing the goal deficit. They were able to steal ball from the Zim Gems
where they hadn’t before and the steady, stalwart presence of Sivalingam, shooting at 100%, was able to reap the rewards.

However, Zimbabwe’s athleticism soon shone through again and the Zim Gems were able to locate the tips, intercepts and turnovers they needed to push on. With
Ursula Ndlovu and Joice Takaidza firing at 93% and 92% respectively, Zimbabwe led 38-29 at half time.

The third quarter was a much more even affair, with Sri Lanka staying in contention by matching Zimbabwe’s physicality. Sivalingam maintained her 100% flawless
shooting, a statistic matched by her supporting goal attack, Dulangi Wannithileka.

Despite injures to both Ndlovu and Sharleen Makushka, Zimbabwe’s tenacious play wasn’t disrupted, and they led 53-42 heading into the final quarter.

They continued to dominate, with Sri Lanka only able to put their first shot of the quarter in as the ninth minute died away. They found their rhythm, but it
was too-little too-late, and the partisan supporters were able to delight in a final score of 79-49 in the favour of the World Cup debutants. — nwc

TWO men, who are accused of waylaying tobacco farmers before robbing them of nine tobacco bales, appeared at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts
yesterday.

Farai Mukauyo (32) and Last Chitsinde (25) were remanded in custody to Monday for bail application hearing by magistrate Barbara Mateko.

The accused allegedly assaulted Chakabuda and off-loaded nine tobacco bales from the truck and loaded them onto their two vehicles and drove away.

Police detectives tracked one of the vehicles, leading to the arrest of the accused persons.

Your thoughts have the energy, power, and limitless prowess and potential. Your thoughts can even surprise you because of what they can produce. This writer can attest to this.

Being born in a sorry and poor state, he made his mind almost a decade ago and today most people would not agree that he was the same person that was controlled by all winds of life and bogged done by innumerable excuses.

People that have made it in life have proved that the mind is the masterpiece that God has given to humanity.

Joel Osteen says neurologists have discovered that the average person uses less than 10% of their mind (Become A Better You: 5).

As cited by Bob Proctor in the book, You Were Born Rich, Elexander Rich, a professor of biophysics at the MIT, has estimated that our central nervous system has about 10 to 100 million cells and each one of then has a storage capacity equal to that of a large computer.

In the same book, Proctor further quotes Ross Addey of the Space Biology Laboratory of the Brain Research Institute at UCLA, who said: “The ultimate creative capacity of your brain may be, for all practical purposes, infinite.”

Napoleon Hill, in his book Think And Grow Rich, wrote: “We are what we are because of the vibrations of the thoughts which we pick and register, through the stimuli of our daily environment.”

A local author and motivational speaker, Rabison Shumba, says: “Your mind is the engine room and assembly plant for life processes. If you manage your mind, you can manage your life” (The Greatness Manual:53). If you can manage your mind, you can control your destiny.

Anthony Robbins, who boasts of having been a janitor with no college degree, but to rose to a place of influence by selling tens of millions of books, speaking to mega crowds and at one time advising the President of the United States because of a made mind in his book, Awaken The Giant Within, that the brain “is capable of processing up to 30 billion bits of information per second and it boasts the equivalent of 6 000 miles of wiring and cabling. Typically, the human nervous system contains about 28 billion neurons” (Page 115).

Finally, the world’s top selling book, the Bible, says: “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he,” (Proverbs 23:7 KJV).

Need I say more to prove the power of your mind? There is no excuse to live a life of mediocrity. Never allow people to douse or drown your thought-power by telling you that you won’t amount to anything. Never allow your current or present state to choose you a future. I would think it’s a crime to live a life below your potential because you would have deprived and robbed humanity of the great resource they could have benefitted from you.
