Mugabe reads wrong speech yet again

Victoria Falls-Zimbabwe’s President
Robert Mugabe has once again read out a wrong speech.

The incident ongoing at the time of writing occurred during his party’s annual conference in the resort town.

This is the second time the Zimbabwe Head of State has blundered before the cameras and comes after he this year read a wong state-of-the-nation address at the end of August when he was heckled by MPs.

His spokesman back then defended him saying that the error was because of a mix-up in the president’s secretarial office.

But this time Mr Mugabe caused jaws to break suddenly across Zimbabw when he fumbled again retreating from his prepared speech right before the big crowd.

As he opened the speech,he read it saying“I would like to welcome
you to this central committee meeting of our 15th conference then said, “ahhhhhh this is wrong.”He then instantaneously looked aside,and while fidgiting,tried to read again.

He then repeatedly read out the very same content,shortly before quitting and soon started speaking off his head.

We know an explanation shall be given to the press in typical Zanu Pf fashion.Mugabe is the oldest serving leader in Africa.

Many question the state of his health,hinting that the older statesman may be sick.In fact, old people haven't that much vigour to gorven a struggling country like Zimbabwe.Soon somebody has to replace Mugabe as the presdent of Zimbabwe and only then shall these Mugabe comedies come to an end.

The brother of the ill- fated, confirmed that his sister had skin pigmentation problems.

He explained that his sister died recently,that is,late last month, which means that the family is still grieving.

situation that albinos are facing in other provinces.Our fear was that it would spread to our province.

We can not accept to live in this
situation, so we are asking that
justice is done, "said a woman

Nuvunga blames former government for the fall of the metical

The Center for Public Integrity (CIP) celebrated last Wednesday,a decade of existence.

Several individuals from members of that research institution to academics,lawyers,politicians,businessmen and journalists attended the anniversary.

In his speech,the director of CIP,Adriano Nuvunga,pointed out some of the consequences of corruption in Mozambique.

Nuvunga said that"the dizzying slippage of the metical is partly a result of the accumulated costs of corruption,with particular emphasis on under-invoicing and over invoicing of large public projects.

Nuvunga cited corruption over the past ten years of governance,
incidentally,the same years in
which his guild has been in existence.

These counter corruption indices,in
his view,contradict the existing anti-corruption discourse of the last government.Therefore,"corruption not only hit the state apparatus bone marrow,but also took root in other institutions of the illegal unconstitutional costumes of our country," he added.andgt;dv/andgt;

FESTIVE SEASON AT THE DOOR: Health alert on cholera risk

Health officials warn that the lack of hygiene in the handling of food and the deterioration of environment sanitation can provide conditions for the cholera outbreak during the festive season ahead,and call for extra care in communities.

Ussene Isse,national director for Medical Assistance,said the purpose-that one should pay attention when buying products,drawing attention to the need for the same to be done in places with good hygiene.


Isse also recommended a healthy diet,as well as taking care when buying food products,in compliance withthe respective expiry dates.

Health authorities have warned of the risk of outbreak of the disease and its rapid spread,mainly because of being in full the rainy season and associated with the greater movement of people.

The appeal,according to Isse,is that there be increased vigilance and reinforcement of the measures for individual and collective hygiene.

In the city and province of Maputo the fear of the authorities is related to the fact that restrictions on the power supply is affecting the availability of water,creating
an environment conducive to the spread of diarrheal diseases including cholera,especially at a time there is lot of movement of persons from one point to another in the country.

Cholera is common in Mozambique during the rainy season,which usually extendfrom October to March.

The situation is aggravated in
situations of poor sanitation or even restrictions in water supply.

During the rainy seasons,the provinces step up sanitation campaigns as a way to prevent diarrheal diseases,particularly cholera.

Held in the third weekend of each month,the campaigns were reactivated soon after the outbreak of cholera that affected earlier this year in the provinces of Tete, Zambezia and Nampula.

The experience helped to contain the epidemic in a short time that the country was going through in Tete,Zambezia and Nampula,where there were registered many cases and deaths.

The national sanitation campaign also aims to improve the population's hygiene habits to
reduce all water-borne diseases, including diarrhea,malaria and cholera.

Dhlakama breaks silence and says he will take power in central and northern Mozambique

The Mozambican opposition
leader Afonso Dhlakama,who had been silent for the past two months said he will leave after Christmas the unknown place where he is and rule the center and north of the country.

The president of Renamo (Mozambique National Resistance) made the pronounciation by phone during a meeting of the Youth League of his party held in Maputo on 30 November,and whose recording was broadcast on the
Mozambican press and social networks.

"We will not make war,I promise, we will spend well the festivities of the Christmas season and then we will take hold," said Afonso Dhlakama,referring to his party's initiative to govern in the provinces where claims election victory,in the center and north of the country, through a model of provincial authorities already rejected by the majority Frelimo (Mozambique
Liberation Front) in parliament.

In his just over seven-minute speech,the leader of Renamo referred precisely to the timely revision project of the Constitution to accommodate the provincial authorities,and on November 30 received a negative opinion of the specialized committees of Parliament and was formally rejected at a plenary session of the legislature on Monday.

Nevertheless,Dhlakama said he will not back down and that his party will be sworn in the six provinces in order to correct what he claims to have been a fraud in the general elections of October 15, 2014,officially won by Frelimo.

"If necessary we will take Maputo
too'',he threatened,referring to the capital of the country and out of the list of territories that the party aims to govern.

Today marks two months since the Renamo leader has not been seen in public after the defense and security forces surroundend his residence in Beira,on 09 October,in an operation to seize weapons collection in possession of the personal guard of Dhlakama.

In the message to the meeting of the Youth League,the opposition leader said that "the danger has passed"and justified his long silence .

"I'm preparing myself to force the government of Frelimo to fall once and for all'',Dhlakama said returning the appeal to respect the Comprehensive Peace Agreement,which ended in 1992 the civil war in Mozambique.

"If the Agreement of Rome has
expired,democracy is expired.",said Afonso Dhlakama.

Insisting he does not want war,the leader of the largest opposition party said that his party will take power in the central and northern provinces"without bloodshed",but advised the authorities not to respond or they"will get a beating"
and that if they put tanks on the streets,"Renamo will destroy everything."

No information on the whereabouts of Dhlakama has been confirmed or denied by the party which ensures that their leader is "very good of health and has worked for the enrichment of democracy in the country."

However the offive of the leader of the Renamo office told Lusa Dhlakama has an upcoming press conference soon,but this is not the first time that this has been announced and there has been no achievement to date.

The police operation in Beira came a day after the opposition leader had reappeared in the mountains of Gorongosa,after two weeks at large,following two incidents in the province of Manica involving his company in Chibata (September 12) and Zimpinga (September 25),where the authorities say killed 25 Renamo men.

After the siege of Beira,the defense and security forces began a compulsory collection of firearms held by Renamo,which ended in clashes in some regions,but in the meantime suspended by Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi to make room for dialogue .

Afonso Dhlakama also had been at large for 17 months after state forces took by storm the Renamo base at Sadjundjira (Gorongosa) and dislodge it on October 21, 2013.He reappeared for signing of the Agreement of Terminatioion of
military hostilities,on September 5, 2014, with the outgoing President, Armando Guebuza.

of which 40% are donations and 60% should be loans for investment projects.

Public expenditure of 246 billion meticais represents a reduction of 1.9 percentage points compared to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP),compared to this year (2015).

Of the amount,55.3% will be allocated to State operating expenses,34.1% to capital expenditure and the remaining 10.6% to financial transactions.
