Zvamaida Murwira Senior Reporter
CHIEF Negomo yesterday filed an appeal at the Supreme Court contesting a High Court decision that set aside his ruling that found Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai guilty of marrying in the scared month of November.
On Wednesday, High Court judge Justice Bharat Patel nullified Chief Negomo’s judgment that ordered PM Tsvangirai to pay two cattle, two sheep, a piece of white cloth and a ball of snuff as penalty for marrying Locadia Karimatsenga Tembo in November last year.
Chief Negomo is from Mashonaland Central Province.

In papers filed at the Supreme Court yesterday morning, the appellant is Morris Nyikadzino, who is said to be the ancestor of the Negomo
Africa must fix itself, says Sata
Bulawayo Bureau
AFRICAN companies need to be innovative and adapt to the changing business environment to compete on the global market, Zambian President Michael Sata has said.
Officially opening the 2012 Zimbabwe International Trade Fair here yesterday, President Sata said Africa needs to develop sustainable economies through value addition.
He told thousands of people at the ZITF grounds that there was need for local companies to develop entrepreneurship skills and value addition strategies to improve the quality of their products.

Elita Chikwati Agriculture Reporter
FARMERS embroiled in a land row with the son of former Reserve Bank Governor Dr Kombo Moyana at Calgary Farm have had the sizes of their farms slashed to accommodate Kombo Junior and Ms Georgina Brown.
Kombo Junior got the lion’s share of the land taken from other farmers with an offer letter indicating his farm will be 312 hectares in size.
Other beneficiaries, who were settled in 2006 at the farm, had their farms reduced to an average of 66 hectares.
The farmers had initially rejected the new offer letters that were issued on Thursday in protest.

Mugabe: The history we have
One stubborn day in April, the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Twelve, President Mugabe stolidly walked back to Harare, clearly defying Press and prophecy.
The week before had been abuzz with rumours. He was seriously ill, the Press, in big bright banner had joyfully proclaimed.
He was going through his last gasps, read the same proud Press on the morrow. No, in fact he had just passed on, wildly wailed the same suitably sad Press. The ailing Air Zimbabwe had already dispatched a plane to bring home his remains, continued editorials.
The dire reports came in quick succession. All these dire reports were set against words from a prophet, one TB Joshua, a
Football is never a fair game
It was football’s own survival miracle and the beauty about this was that it was played before a global audience, which followed every step and every movement, live through the magic of satellite television.This was not the Miracle in the Andes, where survivors of a plane crash in October ’72 spent 72 days battling to survive in extreme freezing conditions on top of a mountain range, because this wasn’t about life and death.
Neither was this anywhere near the survival battles fought by those people in the freezing Atlantic waters in April 1912, after their dream ride on the Titanic turned into a disaster, because this also wasn’t about life and death.
