BY JAIROS SAUNYAMA PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has described the year 2020 as successful in putting Zimbabwe on track for his Vision 2030 targets. “As we end today’s Cabinet session, which is the last for the year 2020, it is imperative that we take stock of some of the achievements in our journey towards the attainment of Vision 2030,” Mnangagwa said in his closing remarks at the final Cabinet meeting of the year. “The year has recorded a number of successes, which would not have been possible without your commitment to duty and excellent performance.” Mnangagwa said major achievements were noted in the road and infrastructure sector, the Pfumvudza farming concept, the completion and launch of the National Development Strategy 1, implementation of devolution and the heritage-based education 5.0, among other things. He, however, acknowledged the setbacks brought about by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic that paralysed a number of businesses. “The COVID-19 pandemic also brought in its wake unprecedented disruption to other aspects of our lives on a global scale, resulting in the intermittent shutdown of several businesses. “However, our timely decisions, including the introduction of the $18 billion stimulus and recovery package helped avert a possible crisis. “Besides causing challenges to development, COVID-19 also provided opportunities for growth towards self-reliance, particularly in the health sector,” he said. He added that power supply had stabilised and the country would export surplus by 2023. “Power supplies have relatively stabilised, been stable and completion of projects to further improve the situation as well as implementation of the renewable energy policy should consolidate this position. “As a result, of the power generation projects being implemented, the country should be self-sufficient and become a net exporter of power by 2023,” he said. The country is experiencing an economic crisis characterised by skyrocketing prices and strikes by civil servants such as teachers, nurses and doctors. Mnangagwa’s government also failed to provide social grants to millions of people whose livelihoods were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The country also face a political crisis that forced South Africa to dispatch envoys to discuss the issue with Mnangagwa and his ruling party. Follow Jairos on Twitter @jairossaunyama
After those two games, all the 20 clubs in the Premiership would have played 29 matches and there will be a further 90 still to be played which will determine the league championship, which will be won by Liverpool, and the Champions League and Europa league places.
The remainder of the season will also determine the relegation puzzle These two matches are the \"games in hand\" for these four clubs, which will take all 20 Premier League teams up to 29 fixtures for the season.
The English top-flight league has never had a match in June since 1947 when authorities were asked to choose between abandoning the championship race, playing up to halfway through the summer or behind closed doors.
It even gets interesting when one considers that Liverpool, who are set to be crowned champions with the league matches are again played in June, were the champions the last time matches were played in that month in 1947.
It was the fifth league title for the Reds and, when the matches resume next month, it will be the first league title for Liverpool in the era of the English Premiership.

\"We engaged the world governing body, International Rugby League Federation (IRL) for acceptance as a new rugby league member but we had still not been officially registered as a sports organisation in Kenya,\" explains adding that without local recognition, IRL couldn't engage them meaningfully so things stopped for some time as they sought registration.
\"I think we can share what is existing now like pitches in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Kakamega, Eldoret and other major towns in the country,\" explains Nyakwaka noting that rugby union clubs in the country have over the years embraced rugby league techniques to better their performances.
\"Most have sharpened their defensive and tackling skills using rugby league codes because of their effectiveness,\" said Nyakwaka explaining that rugby union and rugby league in the country can share players so long as there is a proper set up guiding the process.
Nyakwaka gives an example of former New Zealand Sevens player Sonny Bill Williams, who switched to rugby league to sign for Toronto Wolfpack, the first Canadian professional club, who played in the English league system in November last year in a deal worth Sh 1 billion.
\"Of course there are many challenges in getting players as you know we generally have to source players from rugby union and its not been easy though from what we have seen many players don't mind trying out league,\" says Rombo.
THE late socialite and businessman Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure’s body was taken to Doves Funerals parlour yesterday despite Nyaradzo Life Assurance being the first to manage it, an episode which set tongues wagging amid claims that there was politics at play between the two funeral service providers. BY WINSTONE ANTONIO/KENNEDY NYAVAYA Ginimbi (36) died in a horror car accident along Borrowdale road in Harare on Sunday when his Rolls Royce Wraith collided head-on with a Honda Fit while driving back to his Domboshava mansion in the company of Malawian Limumba Karim, fitness trainer and video vixen Mitchel “Mimi Moana” Amuli and Mozambican model and socialite Alichia Adams. Karim, Amuli and Adams were trapped inside the car and burnt beyond recognition after the collision, while Ginimbi was pulled out just before the vehicle exploded into flames. Speculative reports emerged that Ginimbi’s close associates, who are linked to the ruling Zanu PF party, had arm-twisted the deceased’s family to dump Nyaradzo for Doves. “A lot of politics has been at play with regards to Ginimbi’s funeral. There seems to be some influence by his close associates. His family had initially engaged Nyaradzo, but his close associates, who are heavily involved in politics, were not happy about the family’s initial decision to engage Nyaradzo,” a source said. “These are the same guys who had proposed the all-white party farewell, which was shot down by the family. They, however, managed to convince the family to move the body from Nyaradzo to Doves hoping that they would be able to get some favours they wanted from the authorities, who are said to behind this funeral service company.” Without getting much into detail, Nyaradzo marketing officer Grace Chimedza yesterday said they just respected Ginimbi’s family decision to have his body moved to Doves. A family source told NewsDay Weekender that Ginimbi’s family had approached Nyaradzo first, but they later discovered that he had a policy with Doves South Africa, and that was when they then collected the body from Nyaradzo and handed it over to Doves to handle everything. Ginimbi will be buried today at his million-dollar mansion in a customised Versace coffin with a medusa print. The coffin was imported from South Africa, courtesy of his associates under the banner Friends of Ginimbi. Friends of Ginimbi’s spokesperson Ronald Muzambe confirmed to NewsDay Weekender that the coffin had come from South Africa, though he could not disclose all the costs involved. “There was no coffin that was bought prior to Ginimbi’s death, there was no such thing. There are multiple stories doing the rounds with regards the issue of the coffin. Many people wanted to buy the coffin for Ginimbi. We then decided that no individual should buy the coffin and the coffin was brought through contributions,” he said. “After putting the contributions together, some money was used to buy the coffin and some to cover funeral expenses. So it was a joint effort, not an individual job. I will clarify that the coffin was imported fro
