St Augustine’s faces closure

Food shortages at St Augustine’s Mission, mainly attributed to fights within the Anglican Church, will force the school to close two weeks earlier, authorities have said.
The Manicaland Anglican Diocese aligned to Archbishop Nolbert Kunonga runs the school while a faction led by Bishop Chad Gandiya also claims to have authority over the school.
The diocese’s Bishop Elson Jakazi, who serves under Archbishop Kunonga, yesterday said that if the situation does not improve the school would have to be closed anytime from today.
Schools will close on August 1.
“We are saying fees should be increased to reasonable levels,” said Bishop Jakazi. “The US$333 was not enough considering the needs and challenges the school is facing.
“So, the school board after realising that the funds cannot cater for the whole term decided that the school has to be closed and children sent back to their homes.”
Bishop Jakazi said St Augustine relied on donations, but funding had since stopped and the school infrastructure was in a deplorable state.
‘Remove sanctions before elections’
Caesar Zvayi in ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia
Zimbabwe wants to go for elections without the burden of sanctions and calls on the African Union to condemn and call for their removal, President Mugabe has said.
Addressing the plenary of the 19th Ordinary Session of the AU Assembly here, President Mugabe hailed the assistance rendered by Sadc, saying the AU should pick the gauntlet.
“My country is still labouring under the burden of illegal sanctions; although Sadc has done its best, we still have Europe imposing sanctions on us, America continuing to impose sanctions on us,” he said.
“We would like to go for elections without sanctions, but there is no indication that there is a willingness on their part to get rid of these sanctions.
“May we get a word from this meeting that these sanctions are unjustified, these sanctions continue to impact on our people, these sanctions must go!”
Zimbabwe is expected to hold harmonised elections before June next year to signal the end of the inclusive Government that has outlived its set timeframe.
Zanu-PF says the elections should be held as a matter of urgency since they are now overdue, while the MDC formations want them delayed.
The MDC formations argue that the harmonised elections should be held under a new constitution.
Copac has missed a deadline to produce the new constitution by almost two years and hopes have since faded that the country will have it soon.
