Editorial Comment

Zimbabwe needs NGOs

Comments from Midlands Provincial Affairs minister,
Larry Mavima regarding NGOs are regrettable. Ma-
vima says that Zimbabwe does not need NGOs any-
more therefore they should be deregistered and go
to Ukraine where there is war, if they want. Can we
say that here is an example of a short memory and
nearsightedness? Admittedly a country should be
built by its own people but no people were ever able
to build its own country without any assistance from
other people. Even the so-called developed countries
need support from NGOs and other countries. Go to
America, go to Britain or Germany you will find there
gaps which governments are not able to fill. There
are homeless and poor people. There are hungry and
sick people and others who are facing all sorts of
challenges that their governments cannot solve. This
is where NGOs come in, simply to complement and
support governments where they are failing.
We also need to take note of the fact that not all
NGOs are foreign owned. Most of them are actu-
ally local and were formed by local Zimbabweans
who because of their patriotism felt obliged to form,
register and run NGOs that complement government
in its service delivery efforts.
Mavima rightly says that there was a time when
NGOs were necessary but he needs to be told that
NGOs are necessary now and will be necessary for a
long, long time to come. Much as the Zimbabwean
government is now able to do a lot of things it can
never satisfy all the needs of its people. We are still
an underdeveloped country and aiming to have
middle income status by 2030 means that we are
still far away from being developed and therefore
need support. The government cannot meet all the
educational, health, economic and social needs of its
people. It is therefore going to rely on other people
even if people like Mavima seem not to like it. Peace-
ful on not peaceful, Zimbabwe needs NGOs today
and in the foreseeable future. We therefore need to
see government being grateful for the work that is
being done NGOs.

Committee to handle the matter.
Chindenga is jointly accused together with eight
MDC councillors of abusing public office and
violating tender procedures and is facing criminal
abuse of office charges.
The councilors were arrested by the Zimbabwe
Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) last year
and are out on bail.
“It has come to my attention that Engineer Chin-
denga was ordered to stay away from council
offices and his case has not been resolved to date,
with council being itself conflicted with the same
charges before the courts.
“Please kindly deal with such a matter as it may

” Accordingly, I hereby direct the council in terms
of 313 Urban Council Act: Chapter 29: 15 to send
Engineer Chindenga on forced leave until his
matter is cleared by the courts or suspend him and
immediately institute an independent Committee
to handle the matter within the confines of Labour
Act,” said Moyo in the letter.
Engineer Chindenga is currently not reporting for
duty after a Rusape magistrate barred him from
accessing council offices and not to interfere with
witnesses until his case is finalised.
