Opposition MP demands US$150k housing loans for legislators • Chalton Hwende MP also calls for a salary increment for MPs BULAWAYO – Kuwadzana Member of Parliament, Chalton Hwende, says legislators must receive housing loans and suggested that the amount should be around US$150k for each member. He was contributing to the ongoing pre-budget seminar in Bulawayo, where he lamented the government’s failure to provide funds to allow MPs to build on residential stands they received from the government. "We received housing loans worth US$40k, but because of inflation and compared to what those in the Executive received, we also want you to budget a minimum of US$150k as a loan that will ensure an MP gets a house," Hwende said. He also criticized Finance Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube for failing to increase salaries for MPs. In the last parliament, MPs were controversially awarded US$40k loans by the government. — Join our WhatsApp Channel and be part of a growing community that relies on ZiFM Stereo News for fast, accurate, and credible updates from Zimbabwe and beyond.

Sikhala arrested after Zanu PF warning • Marapira warning becomes reality HARARE – Four days after Zanu PF Director of Information Farai Marapira warned that Job Sikhala and Tendai Biti were scheming to cause chaos, Sikhala has been arrested in South Africa after police allegedly found explosives in his car. The 53-year-old former legislator was detained in Pretoria and is being held at the city’s main police station. He was reportedly arrested moments after meeting a group claiming to represent former DRC president Joseph Kabila’s party, who had offered to support his democracy campaign in Zimbabwe. Pictures circulating online show Sikhala sitting in handcuffs on a roadside barrier, with an elderly man believed to have been with him. Another photo shows what appears to be explosives wrapped in a yellow plastic bag. In an interview earlier this week, Marapira issued a blistering warning against Sikhala and Biti, accusing them of living off political instability and chaos. “These people have never written a single letter calling for dialogue, and I do not believe they ever will because they feed off chaos,” Marapira said. “When there is political violence, that is when they feed their families. They get neo-imperialist funding to cause destabilization at the cost of the people in the streets and the country’s economic progress.” He said the two opposition figures had “never been sincere in seeking a true Zimbabwean solution,” claiming they “prosper when there is confusion and collapse when there is peace.” Days before the arrest, Marapira had also vowed that those plotting unrest “under the pretext of defending the constitution” would be “met head-on and crushed.” Video & Reporting by Anesu Masamvu | ZiFM Stereo News — Join our WhatsApp Channel and be part of a growing community that relies on ZiFM Stereo News for fast, accurate, and credible updates from Zimbabwe and beyond.
