introduce Hon Justice Mayor Wadyajena and Hon Irene Zindi who had joined the meeting late. Matters then
came to a head when the speaker who had the floor insisted on finishing his presentation instead of being
interrupted midway for “late comers”. Instead of apologizing for the late coming of the two members of
parliament, Ziyambi went into a tirade declaring that the speaker was not going to be allowed to continue with
his contribution. A stand-off ensued with residents declaring that unless the speaker was allowed to finish his
contribution, no one else was going to be heard. Ziyambi and Hon. Katsiru were adamant that they were not
going to allow the speaker to continue. After only two speakers had contributed, the meeting was aborted.

In Chimanimani West, ward 2, out of 121 pupils who sat for their exams in 2016, 21 of them have not enrolled
into secondary schools due to the withholding of their results. The school accused of withholding results is
Mashonjwa primary school in Mandariume’s ward 2. The school is adamant it will not release the results and
clear the affected students due to these arrears. According to the School Development Committee chairperson at
Mashonjwa, Mr Thomas Mberikunashe, parents should at least pay a certain fee before clearance or
alternatively the parent or guardian come forward and make a commitment to a payment plan they will have to
honour.
