Party leaders to hold joint rallies

Lloyd Gumbo Herald Reporter
LEADERS of the three political parties in the inclusive Government will next month hold joint rallies to urge their supporters to refrain from violence.

The leaders will use the rallies, to be held in all the country’s provinces, to preach co-existence and tolerance ahead of elections.
The rallies are a follow-up to the indaba on violence that was held in Harare in November last year. It drew the top leadership of the three parties and was jointly addressed by President Mugabe (Zanu-PF), Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai (MDC-T) and Professor Welshman Ncube (MDC).

Zanu-PF secretary for administration Cde Didymus Mutasa and MDC secretary-general Mrs Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga confi-rmed the party leaders will jointly address the rallies.

“The dates haven’t been given to us by the President as you know there are three principals, but there is one main one who is President Mugabe, so we are guided by him,” Cde Mutasa said.

Beitbridge Border Post congested

Thupeyo Muleya Beitbridge Bureau
CONGESTION, which had eased at the Beitbridge Border Post in the last few days, returned yesterday as Zimbabweans based in South Africa started trooping back.
Long and winding queues were the order of the day at the border post for both human and vehicular traffic.

Vehicles formed double queues that stretched for over two kilometres from the clearing offices, while people jostled to have their passports stamped.
The slow movement of traffic was blamed on the introduction of exit forms on Sunday morning that are supposed to be filled in by travellers leaving the country.
Some of the travellers said the forms, which are meant to establish the exact number of people leaving the country, are not user friendly.

Many people could be seen struggling to fill in the forms, while others were reluctant to comply with the new arrangement which they viewed as time consuming.
For visitors leaving the country, the forms demand that they state the approximate amount of money they used while in Zimbabwe.
They have to state how much they spent on accommodation, food, entertainment, fares, petrol and all other purchases of a business nature.

Veteran educationist Nyandoro dies

Herald Reporter
VETERAN educationist and mobiliser for guerrillas in Masvingo Province during the liberation struggle Cde Rogers Nyandoro has died.
He was 79.

Cde Nyandoro died at the Metropolitan Clinic in Harare on Sunday after a protracted fight against prostate cancer.
Family spokesperson Cde Ronald Nyandoro, brother to the late Cde Nyandoro, described him as brave and caring.
“This is evidenced by the courage he had when he mobilised material resources for the fighters at the heart of the struggle,” he said.

“He was also caring as evidenced by the number of people he assisted both on the education and political fronts. He did not only help close relatives but everyone who needed help from him.”
Retired Air Marshal Henry Muchena said Cde Nyandoro played a major role in assisting guerrillas during the struggle.

“We went to Zaka in 1976 in October and the fighters were not very familiar with the area, but he was there to assist when he was the inspector of schools,” Cde Muchena said.
“He assisted when we had comrades injured in the struggle. He would collect medication from Dr Simon Mazorodze. We even sent him to Harare to organise the party. We also worked together after the ceasefire to build party structures.”
