‘Report border jumpers to fight Covid-19’

BULAWAYO residents should report to authorities anyone who entered the country illegally from neighbouring countries so that they are taken to isolation centres to prevent the spread of Covid-19. This stance will help curb the spread of Covid-19 as the city is working on flattening the curve. Speaking during a donation to the city yesterday, Dr Edwin Sibanda the director of Health Services said compliance to lockdown regulations was low in Bulawayo which was a cause for concern. “The issue of border jumping has come to our attention and it is the duty of every resident to report such. We urge residents to notify us whenever they receive border jumping relatives as anyone who comes into the country must undergo isolation according to law,” said Dr Sibanda. “We are not aware of their whereabouts hence we cannot follow them up hence we rely on residents to help us fight the spread of Covid-19. They should go to our holding centres for 21 centres and be tested so that we map a way forward.”

Entembeni fails to provide food, medicines

ENTEMBENI Old People’s Home has hit hard times resulting in the institution failing to provide food and critical medical supplies for elderly inmates suffering from the chronic hypertension and diabetes. The home, situated in Luveve suburb in Bulawayo, is also in dire need of blankets for the 48 inmates who are struggling to adhere to lockdown conditions due to a shortage of masks and sanitisers. Their administrator Ms Naome Mhlanga said all inmates, 38 males and 10 females have hypertension and 10 of them have diabetes. A survey conducted by the Chronicle recently showed that chronic patients are defaulting on essential medication as most pharmacies are demanding payment in foreign currency while those paying in local currency are made to pay more than even the prevailing black-market rate. People with chronic illnesses are supposed to regularly take certain medication for a life time to reduce their risk of succumbing to the diseases and the situation is worse for the elderly at Entumbane who live off donations.

COMMENT: Africa should look at building lasting peace, wealth for its people

Today marks the 57th anniversary of Africa Day. Africa Day is celebrated across the continent, but more so in Ghana, The Gambia, Guinea, Namibia, Zambia, Mali, Mauritania, Lesotho and Zimbabwe, where it is observed as an official national holiday. This important day was born in 1963 when 32 independent African states signed a founding charter in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under the auspices of the newly formed Organisation of African Unity (OAU). The initial process, however, began in 1958 when 17 African nations established African Liberation Day, to commemorate their independence from European colonialism. In 2001, the OAU became the African Union (AU). Due to the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic, the AU has said this year’s celebrations be held virtually and online under the theme: “Silencing The Guns: Creating Conducive Conditions for Africa’s Development and Intensifying the Fight against the Covid-19 Pandemic.”

The U.N.’s Special Rapporteur on Torture, Nils Melzer, has declared that Julian Assange is being tortured in Britain’s super-max Belmarsh Prison, by applying “torture that will not leave physical traces, that will erase the personality of the victim,” and that these methods of torture were first applied by the Nazis at the Dachau concentration camp and subsequently refined through experiments on untold numbers of victims so as to establish mind-control over them. (The Nazis used this in order to convert anti-Nazis into their own agents.) The chief person who oversaw these experiments for the U.S., Canadian, and UK Governments, was Dr. Ewen Cameron, President of the American Psychiatric Association (1952–1953), Canadian Psychiatric Association (1958–1959),[2] American Psychopathological Association (1963),[3] Society of Biological Psychiatry (1965) and World Psychiatric Association (1961–1966).
