Source: Plumtree prosecutor in nudes storm – The Southern Eye

The National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) is investigating a Plumtree prosecutor over his nude pictures which are circulating on social media platforms.

Social media platforms have been abuzz after the Plumtree-based prosecutor’s nude pictures went viral showing him in compromising positions with several women, some of them working under the Judicial Service Commission.

Allegations are that his wife posted the nudes after she accessed his mobile phone on Monday evening.

In a statement, NPAZ said it would not tolerate indiscipline in the prosecution service.

“The NPAZ is committed to taking appropriate disciplinary action if the allegations are found to be credible. Furthermore, the NPAZ expects all prosecutors to conduct themselves with utmost integrity and uphold high ethical standards,” the statement read.

“In the meantime, the NPAZ would like to reassure the public that it remains committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in the prosecution service and will take all the necessary steps to ensure that the matter is resolved expeditiously.”

Source: Gwanda puts open-air churches worshippers on notice – The Southern Eye

GWANDA municipality has warned open-air worshippers in the Matabeleland South capital against conducting their sermons in places without ablution facilities.

The municipality said the churches were fouling the environment since they did not have toilets, which is in violation of the town’s by-laws. Council said the churches were a source of discomfort for residents as they make noise through loud music and hailers.

In a public notice dated November 14, Gwanda town clerk Priscilla Nkala said churches operating without council approval were a public health threat.

“Notice is hereby given that all churches in Gwanda must comply with the existing Acts, council by laws and regulations in regards to proper infrastructure, ablution facilities and the need to seek authority or guidance prior to setting up any place of worship,” Nkala notified the churches.

In Bulawayo, which is studying a proposal to turn idle beerhalls into places of worship, council has been clamping down on churches that operate from open spaces with no toilets and running water.

Environmental experts have identified open-air worshippers as a potential source of water-borne diseases.

Early this week, the Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee 2023 report said most Gwanda residents were still practising open defecation due to poor water and sanitation infrastructural development in the mining town.

The report urged government to urgently address the high cases of open defecation because the practice will derail the country’s 2030 upper-middle-income status goal.

Many urban areas have experienced a proliferation of apostolic churches engaging in open-air worshipping in spaces where there are no water and ablution facilities.
