MAGAYA CANCELS SOUTH AFRICA CRUSADE


 
Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries (PHD) leader, Walter Magaya has recently cancelled his South African Crusade that was scheduled to the 29th May this year.

The prophet was owed to grace two services in Johannesburg and Pretoria but due to the forces of xenophobia and instability in South Africa he was propelled to cancel his trip.

He expressed his great concern over the attacks and the need for prayer and God’s intervention in the whole of the SADC region.

"It is an evil spirit [xenophobia] that has gripped us Africans. It is not pleasing at all, but some thieves took advantage of that to loot and steal from foreigners. Some thugs are overzealous and this has affected the SADC region.”

“This has really disturbed trade in southern Africa. We pray that South Africa will sort out the issue and let peace prevail," said Magaya.

It is high time that such influential prophets such as Magaya himself, Uebert Angel and Emmanuel Makandiwa to prove their religious muscle and have a hand in such insurgent activities and secure the goodwill of people in their influence. Regional boards have backflows and have failed to handle a number of similar problems in the Africa with special reference to Boko Haram and Southern Africa’s xenophobia and maybe we can have a different effect from the religious side………..The Voice Of Wasu speaks……what’s your say

Social media does it again!!!!!


 

 Miss Zim World Emily Kachote

 It seems bedroom videos and images of naked celebs are the hotspots of social media as images of Miss World Zimbabwe , Emily Kachote have leaked over the social media.

Emily told H-Metro that she suspects the photos were took by her ex-boyfriend when she was under the influence of drugs and had no control over herself.

"I once hanged out with a guy whom I was dating at that time, we went to his place and we had some drinks and I had no control over everything that happened during that night because I was under the influence of alcohol.
"I was hoping the pictures would have been deleted by now since it happened a long time ago and I last spoke to the guy a year ago and I no longer have anything to do with him since what we had ended a long time ago," she added.


The question still remains debatable as it is highly embraceable to justify the fact that the government should regulate social media considering such negative effects that it implies on well known individuals such as Miss World Zimbabwe who might be probably be dethroned in the coming week according to speculation.

This is not the first time that social media has sparkled scandal as it did so with Malaika Mushandu, Miss Zimbabwe 2011 who in some of the pictures appeared undressed and on others she dons pants.

It is also the same case with Thabiso Phiri, Miss Zimbabwe 2014 who was forced to be dethroned after her nude pics went viral on the cyber.
Not to mention detrimental effects it also unleashed to Tinopona Katsande, Pokello Nare and Desmond "Stunner" Chideme.
This medium has brought us the long cherished freedom but should we really embrace and see it destroy careers,chances and opportunities. We must not over-utilize it and remember today its Emily tomorrow it might be me and you........The Voice of Wasu speaks

MMPZ hitherto monitor social media use


The Media Monitoring Project Zimbabwe (MMPZ) recently revealed that their research capabilities are still limited to monitor media activities over social media as much as they do with broadcast and print media.

MMPZ research team acknowledged that there was still a limitation in resources that inhibits them to conduct credibility research over internet media during a lecture they recently held with media students at Great Zimbabwe University which was based on media credibility in Zimbabwe.

“Our media research is hitherto conduct researches on social media because we still lack the capability to watch over global internet mediums and due to its anonymity and lack of clear ownership we cannot approach internet users for preliminaries before our researches” said MMPZ sub-editor Edson Madondo.

Madondo further noted that it is part of their working endeavor to take such recommendations to that they channel efforts towards checking locally known websites and along those lines they have also published a research based on online mainstream media comments online.
However the question remains....how effective is MMPZ is monitoring media coverage in Zimbabwe yet most media sources are now being disseminated and broadcasted over the internet? There is high internet use in Zimbabwe and the internet has become the most used medium to access news and other media yet the only independent research and monitoring board is incapable of engaging the medium.......... The Voice of Wasu speaks

MMPZ is a local monitoring board that seek to measure the performance of Zimbabwean media if they are adhering to professional ethics, standards and have been conducting prototype lecture around universities in Zimbabwe so as to familiarize media students with the media credibility index of which the 2014 edition is the seventh of its kind.

 

Is Pre-paid water meters necessary... The Voice of Wasu speaks

Mutare residents are complaining after  the City Council has since revealed that they are in a move to introduce pre-paid water meters on their houses.

This after the engineering department, and the council is losing millions in revenue as a result of some 53 percent of its water that is unaccounted for because of leaks...which they have recently resolved and they have only unserviced meters as the remaining cause.

 “The new challenge is that some of the residential meters are no longer working, people tend to abuse their use of water because they know that the council is not billing them.

“I believe it will be manageable. Zesa has managed to do a sterling job with them and I’m sure the same positive results will come out if we decide to introduce them,” said Donald Nyatoti who is the city engineer.

However this has turned up to be a grey sky for Mutare residents who feel that the council has robbed them for long and such a move is not neccesary as much as it was with ZESA.

Zesa is much credible as it supplies the whole city with elctricity and blackouts usually affects almost all of the area and it is a different case with water as high density surbubs such as Dangamvura only recieve water twice in a week.

 "The Dangamvura pipeline is the one that we are still working on. We need high pressure pipes. We are left with about two kilometres to cover,” confirmed Nyatoti.

How can they then install prepaid meters yet other residential areas are not recieving water supplies. Cant they just be fair enough and take their time to complete their ten year old project that has and is still facing challenges of completion.

The Mutare City Council should rather make efforts to reservice the water meters especially in Sakubva and continue to with ther normal billing strategy
