By REBECCA BOONE Associated Press BOISE, Idaho (AP) — As days turned into years, Brett Woolley came to accept that his father's murderer would never be found — and that his family's private tragedy had become a Wild West legend, the kind of thing folks shared when they were a few too many drinks deep into the night. Nearly 40 years ago, Dan Woolley was shot in the parking lot of a small-town bar. The shooter crossed the street to the town's other tavern, ordered a drink and declared, 'I just killed a man.' And then he disappeared, leaving no […]

Thousands of villagers in Mwenezi district, one of Masvingo’s most drought prone districts, are struggling with hunger and food insecurity. By Moses Mugugunyeki The villagers said their situation was exacerbated by the advent of COVID-19. They said the COVID-19 lockdown disrupted travel to South Africa which had become a source of livelihood for most families in the district. Speaking on the sidelines of a Zimbabwe Red Cross Society (ZRCS) facilitated food distribution programme at Rutenga business centre yesterday, villagers said they were living from hand to mouth. “It is not looking good. We failed to harvest this past season because we received little rainfall,” said Michael Ndlovu from Chakauya village in ward 14. Ndlovu is among 10 000 people benefiting from the ZRCS emergency food assistance programme. Each family receives food vouchers worth US$65. The programme, which is being funded by the British Red Cross is being implemented in three wards in Mwenezi. Farirai Mandinyenya, one of the beneficiaries, said the COVID-19-induced lockdown had worsened their plight. “We hardly get meaningful rainfall here, but our situation was exacerbated by the COVID-19 outbreak. Most of us here rely on South Africa and the closure of the body disrupted everything,” Mandinyenya, a mother of three, said. Mwenezi is one of the driest districts in the country. ZRCS programmes officer Tinotenda Maphosa said the food programme had incorporated resilience projects. “The emergency food assistance programme runs concurrently with other projects meant to build resilience among communities, thus we are also giving out farming inputs to the villagers,” Maphosa said. Maphosa said the programme, which is also being implemented in three wards in Chipinge, Manicaland province, ended in February. Follow us on Twitter @NewsDayZimbabwe
