BY STEPHEN CHADENGA A DILAPIDATED Pfende Club House in Gweru city’s ward 2 has been turned into a clinic, easing the burden on people from the area who used to walk a long distance to Whawha Prison Clinic to access health services, Southern Eye has learnt. Gweru Urban legislator Brian Dube (MDC Alliance), who spearheaded the project, said they were putting final touches to the structure before it is handed over to Gweru City Council for official opening. “The place was a dilapidated small building that we demolished and reconstructed to a standard modern clinic as prescribed by health guidelines,” Dube said. “This clinic will have all facilities for primary health care to help the people in ward 2 who have been walking to Whawha Clinic.” Ward 2 resident Sheila Runzombe said: “As women, we are elated that we now have a clinic in this ward and I would want to thank the MP for coming up with this project.” Last year, Dube helped in turning Ivene Club House into a state-of-the-art clinic before also handing it over to council.

By YULIA ALEXEYEVA Associated Press IRKUTSK, Russia (AP) — As coronavirus resurged across Russia this fall, one of the most common complaints from people with symptoms who were self-isolating at home was that they had to wait hours or sometimes days before a visiting doctor would arrive to check on them.

Uganda on Wednesday cleared a community of Chinese nationals to import up to 4,000 doses of the coronavirus vaccine for their own use.
The businessmen based out of the Liao Shen industrial park in central Uganda had written to the ministry of health asking for authorization to bring in the vaccines.
\"They wanted it for themselves, we said strictly limit it to yourselves, we do not want it to spread in the population. Uganda imports vaccines that are World Health Organisation prescribed, assessed for safety... , that is the vaccine we bring for the population and we have applied for it through GAVI,\" Uganda's minister of health Jane Ruth Aceng was quoted by the Daily Monitor as saying.
In a tweet, the ministry reiterated that no Ugandans were allowed to get the shots.

A November 26 letter from the presidency asked the head of Uganda's national drug authority to 'work out a mechanism' to clear the importation of the vaccines.
China has about five COVID-19 vaccine candidates at different levels of trials. It was not clear what vaccine was being imported into Uganda.
One of the frontrunners is the Sinopharm vaccine developed by the Beijing Institute of Biological Product, a unit of Sinopharm’s China National Biotec Group (CNBG).
On Wednesday, the United Arab Emirates said the vaccine has 86% efficacy, citing an interim analysis of late-stage clinical trials.
China has used the drug to vaccinate up to a million people under its emergency use program.
On Tuesday, Morocco said it was ordering up to 10 million doses of the vaccine.

BY MIRIAM MANGWAYA ZIMBABWE Football Association (Zifa) councillors who were interviewed by the police during incumbent president Felton Kamambo's investigations on bribery charges claim that ousted boss Phillip Chiyangwa also paid prospective voters, the court heard. According to statements from councillors read in court, it was common for aspiring candidates to cater for the prospective voters' food, accommodation and transport expenses during the campaign period. However, Chiyangwa has denied the allegations before Magistrate Bianca Makwande, arguing that he did not campaign for the elections since he was not feeling well. Chiyangwa insists that Kamambo violated Zimbabwean laws by paying prospective voters. He maintains that Zifa statutes do not allow offering gifts to prospective voters.
