BY WINSTONE ANTONIO WHILE the death of Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure (36) has continued to set tongues wagging on different social media platforms with many conspiracy theories, Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation deputy minister Tino Machakaire’s name was yesterday thrown into the ring amid claims that he had pledged to buy a coffin for the deceased. The socialite and businessman died when his Rolls-Royce Wraith II vehicle collided head-on with a Honda Fit along Borrowdale Road, Harare on Sunday morning while driving back to his Domboshava home. Ginimbi was in the company of Limumba Karim, believed to be from Malawi, socialite Mitchel “Moana” Amuli and Alichia Adams believed to be from Mozambique who all perished in the accident. They were all coming from Moana’s 26th birthday party at Ginimbi’s Club Dreams, formerly Sankayi in Harare’s avenues area. In an interview with NewsDay Life & Style, Machakaire denied the alleged coffin pledge. Ginimbi’s friends also dismissed reports that there was a coffin in the late’s mansion. “There are some people who are just good at spreading malice. I did not pledge to buy a coffin for Ginimbi, but instead I will be doing that for Gringo in partnership with Nyaradzo founder Phillip Mataranyika,” Machakaire said. Ginimbi’s friends’ spokesperson Chief Albert Ndabambi said the rumour that was being peddled on different social media platforms that there was a coffin and a snake vomiting cash in the house was evil. “It is sad that there are some people who do not appreciate hard work. Ginimbi was a hard worker and the on-going narrative to disrespect his hustles is sad especially to many youngsters who looked up to him as a role model and a source of inspiration,” he said. “People forget that Ginimbi did not just wake up with all the property he had, no he worked hard to amass it. If people can get time to talk to Tazvi Mhaka, Dino Tumbare, Brian Nyanyiwa and Chief Jose they will really come to understand how Ginimbi struggled to be where he was with his life.” Chief Albert said there was overwhelming evidence that Ginimbi worked for his lavish lifestyle. “Ginimbi started from scratch as he worked hard to create inroads for indigenous gas company and when others closed, he continued with the trade. He could go down and rise again, we can even prove that with the bank accounts and invoices,” he said. Meanwhile, Ginimbi’s homestead will this Friday reverberate with sounds of different music genres as several artistes are set to perform at the farewell concert as his body lies in state at the mansion. Ginimbi’s brother and family spokesperson Darlington Kadungure, told this paper that his late brother would be buried on Saturday at his mansion which is set to be turned into a hotel according to his wish. He said as per tradition, Ginimbi’s body would lie in state at his Domboshava mansion on Friday ahead of burial on Saturday, adding that mourners would be gathering at his father’s house to allow undertakers to prepare the grave. Last night, Ginimbi’s friends donated some foodstuffs and other i

THE National Transformation Alliance (NTA) has criticised the Police Service Commission (PSC) for lamenting that only eight per cent of the population believe the police are doing a good job in dealing with crime.

The PSC made this finding in its 2022 annual report, which was laid in the House of Representatives on November 1.

In the report, PSC chairman retired Justice Judith Jones said, “At present, we are faced with a crime situation that has far surpassed that which applied in 2003-2004.”

This is highlighted by the murder rate.

Jones said, “By 2022, the murder rate moved from the 2005 figures of almost 30 per 100,000 and sky-rocketed to approximately 44 per 100,000.

“In contrast, the detection rate for murders has remained static at 12.9 per cent.”

She added this was reflected in the results of the survey, showing low numbers of people having low confidence in the ability of the police to fight crime, while more people were afraid of the high probability of becoming victims of crimes themselves.

In a statement, the NTA said the public should "ignore the crocodile tears being spilled by the PSC with regard to runaway crime and the paltry eight per cent public trust and confidence rating the TTPS (TT Police Service) received in their own sanctioned survey."

The party added that the PSC should accept some of the blame for crime, as it decided to replace NTA political leader Gary Griffith as Comissioner of Police (CoP) in 2021.

The NTA observed that a public trust and confidence survey done by the PSC before Griffith left office in August 2021 put public trust in the police at 59 per cent.

The party reiterated that it does not blame CoP Erla Harewood-Christopher for crime

That blame, the NTA continued, lay with people who thought Harewood-Christopher was the best person for the job.

The party also criticised the PSC's call for more oversight of the police service to better assist the CoP.

In the report, Jones said to be able to appoint the most effective leader for the police service, the PSC must have a strategic role in establishing training requirements for members of the service.

She said this would further ensure that “the alignment of the Police Service’s promotion processes and criteria for promotion with those used by the commission for appointment to the top offices will enhance the commission’s ability to appoint the best person for the job.”

Jones said the PSC should also monitor the performance of assistant police commissioners, as they sometimes act as CoP or as deputy police commissioners.

The NTA said, "Instead of crying and looking for sympathy from the public whilst trying to increase their power, they should resign because they have failed the citizens of TT."

RECENTLY, we reported that the economic crisis in the country had forced the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) to retrench staff. This obviously points to a far bigger crisis. Industrial bodies derive their survival from subscriptions paid by companies. When companies are ailing, one of the first things they do is to withdraw their membership from business lobby organisation like the CZI, or stop paying subscriptions. This should be the case with the CZI now, as well as its peers, the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce, which has suggested that government takes over some of these organisations’ bills. We believe government should inject the $18 billion COVID-19 package promised in May to bail out industry urgently to avoid bloodbath and further haemorrhaging of the economy. This is an urgent matter as we have noted an extremely worrying trend recently, which points to a silent carnage that is blowing through companies. First it was the closure of household goods production firm, United Refineries Limited last week. Then in the past week a string of third quarter financial statements have showed that industries are operating in a far more difficult climate than we thought. Volumes and revenues are coming off at a frightening pace. At Truworths, revenues declined to $165,3 million during the period, from $177,8 million in 2019 due to plummeting demand and a blazing liquidity crisis. Unifreight posted an inflation adjusted profit before tax of $19 million but the volatility of the reporting currency forced transported tonnages to fall by 22%. The Livestock and Meat Advisory Council said deboned meat imports fell by 73%, which points to another bloodbath in that sector. The cigarette maker, British American Tobacco said volumes fell by 8%. One of the most accurate measures of a company’s success in a hyperinflationary period is its volumes. If these are declining everyone must be worried. This is why we urge authorities to put on their thinking caps and come up with strategies that will save industries. The most basic steps to take are increasing spending power and stabilising inflation and prices. Without this, the end game may be bloody.

The Salvation Army launched its Kettle Appeal on November 3 at Fiesta Plaza, Movietowne, Port of Spain.

In a statement on Wednesday, chairman of Coosal’s Group of Companies Sieunarine Coosal said "the mission of the Salvation Army is to meet human needs without discrimination, to encourage educational pursuits, champion poverty alleviation, promote hunger reduction, encourage healthy lifestyles and to provide tools for sustainable living for the underprivileged."

He gave a brief history of the organisation, saying it was founded by William Booth in 1865 and has since grown into a worldwide organisation with 134 countries and approximately two million members.

Speaking about the distinctive sound of the Red Kettle holiday bells, he said, "This clarion call is an opportunity for you to add value to the disadvantaged in our society and is needed all year round."

Coosal expressed gratitude to the attendees and highlighted the importance of their contributions and volunteerism. He reminded them that their contributions could improve the living conditions of individuals and families.

"We are resolute in our commitment to this mission. Through your generosity, these contributions are not seasonal but fund many major initiatives throughout the year. Holistic development programmes, which foster psycho-social support; skills training; career and personal development; in addition to job placements

"Although each person or situation is different and unique, they require the same resource at the end of the day."

He said last year’s contributions provided hot meals, offered disaster assistance, met human needs, and provided food hampers, saying the simplicity of their generosity provided a luxury to others.

"This may be the only occasion a child is possibly given the one toy they will receive for the year, personal care and food items. This may sound far-fetched, but so very true for some families."

Coosal said donors contributions assist in major disaster situations locally and regionally.

In closing, Coosal underlined the significance of the night as a symbol of his unwavering commitment to the initiative, he hoped it would inspire the corporate community to join the cause.

He said, in today's digital age, the ease and availability of online transfers and direct deposits offered quick, efficient, and seamless payment options to support the organisation's mission.
