By SIMBARASHE SITHOLE An unrepentant Bindura fraudster Mary Matseka (35) has been sentenced to seven years in jail by magistrate Tendai Chifamba over five counts of fraud. Matseka, who was previously convicted and released on presidential amnesty, pleaded guilty to all the charges. Prosecutor Sheilla Kudzai Maribha told the court that sometime in June last year, the first complainant Morestead Ruwaze, who is a headmaster at Zengeza Main Primary School, was introduced to Matseka by his friends Edmore Shonhiwa and Winkson Bheulani. Matseka claimed that he had a relative who worked at Karanda Mission Hospital and was in a position to enrol the complainant’s daughter, Mitchell Ruwaze, to train as a nurse. She told the complainant to pay US$500 administration fees, which the complainant did through Tairevei Chabayanzara and Ruwaze. Matseka confirmed that she received the amount, but later demanded US$150 and the complainant complied. The complainant kept on enquiring with the now-convict regarding progress and she started giving excuses. Using the same strategy, Matseka misrepresented herself to Edmore Shonhiwa (47) of Chipadze, Bindura, whom she prejudiced of US$314. In two other counts, Matseka prejudiced her landlady Tairevei Chabayanzara (47) of Plot 1, Chiwaridza Farm in Bindura. In the last count, on November 30 last year, Matseka misrepresented to Ripisai Wilbert Manyati (65) of Gleckwood Avenue, Bindura, that she was employed by Goal International and would employ workers for the organisation on condition that they paid administration fees of US$350 per person. The complainant asked if she could make a plan for Privilege and Blessmore Manyati, as well as Tawanda Huchu and Prince Mukungurutse. Between December 23 and January 7, Ripisai paid US$1 300 in three instalments and Matseka signed confirmation of payment. Ripisai kept on enquiring on the progress and Matsake kept on giving excuses. A police report was made and Mutsake was arrested last Thursday. Follow Simbarashe on Twitter @Simbara08212619

By CALVIN WOODWARD and HOPE YEN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A more measured President Donald Trump does not necessarily mean a more truthful one. In the final debate of the presidential campaign, he was loose with facts on the crisis of the time — the pandemic — and much else. Trump did, though, exploit confusion sowed by Joe Biden during the primaries, when the Democrat occasionally made his position on energy sound more to the left than it actually is. Trump accurately called out Biden when Biden denied he had ever vowed to ban fracking. That was never Biden's […]

Electoral authorities in Guinea on Saturday declared President Alpha Conde winner of Sunday's election with 59.49% of the vote, defeating his main rival Cellou Diallo.
\t Some people went to the streets to protest immediately after the announcement. Such demonstrations have occurred for months after the government changed the constitution through a national referendum, allowing Conde to extend his decade in power.
\t Opposition candidate Cellou Diallo received 33.50% of the vote, the electoral commission said. Voter turnout was almost 80%.
\t Political tensions in the West African nation turned violent in recent days after Diallo claimed victory ahead of the official results. Celebrations by his supporters were suppressed when security forces fired tear gas to disperse them.
They accuse the electoral authorities of rigging the vote for incumbent president Alpha Conde.
\t At least nine people have been killed since the election, according to the government. The violence sparked international condemnation by the U.S. and others.
\t ``Today is a sad day for African democracy,'' said Sally Bilaly Sow, a Guinean blogger and activist living abroad. The government should take into account the will of the people who have a desire for change, he said.
ICC warning
The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor warned on Friday that warring factions in Guinea could be prosecuted after fighting erupted.
“I wish to repeat this important reminder: anyone who commits, orders, incites, encourages and contributes in any other way to crimes … is liable to prosecution either by the Guinean courts or the ICC,” she said.

\t On Friday, internet and international calls were cut off across the West African nation in anticipation of the election results, according to locals and international observers in the capital, Conakry.

The U.S. set a record in coronavirus cases Thursday with more than 77,000, surpassing the previous one-day record set in July.
Trump's appalling attack on doctors came on a day when the US marked a new daily record for coronavirus cases and 17 states were seeing record hospitalizations. Instead of addressing those challenges, the President tried to explain the mounting US case count by making the false claim in Michigan that US doctors are inflating coronavirus case numbers because they \"get more money if someone dies from Covid.\"
\"Our doctors are very smart people. So what they do is they say, 'I'm sorry but everybody dies of Covid,' \" Trump said at a rally in Waterford Township, Michigan, on Friday. Unearthing conspiracy theories from the bowels of the Internet, the President claimed with no evidence that doctors from other countries list underlying diseases as the cause of death, while US doctors choose coronavirus.
\"With us, when in doubt -- choose Covid,\" Trump said. \"Now they'll say 'Oh that's terrible what he said,' but that's true. It's like $2,000 more, so you get more money.\"
Trump's falsehood about doctors on the front lines of the pandemic angered Biden, who criticized the President for attacking first-responders at his subsequent rallies in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, and in Milwaukee.
\"The President of the United States is accusing the medical profession of making up Covid deaths so they make more money. Doctors and nurses go to work every day to save lives. They do their jobs. Donald Trump should stop attacking them and do his job,\" Biden said in Minnesota.
View Trump and Biden head-to-head polling
The clashing messages of the two candidates stood in stark contrast as they both campaigned in Wisconsin and Minnesota on Friday, with each man attempting to broaden his potential path to 270 electoral votes. Trump won Wisconsin by less than a percentage point in 2016 but narrowly lost Minnesota, and he and Biden are now vying for those pivotal blue-collar voters who abandoned Democrats four years ago to choose Trump's outsider message.
Though some of those voters have drifted away from the President because they disapprove of his handling of the virus, he has continued to insist on holding huge rallies — he has more than a dozen planned in seven states before Election Day, including four in Pennsylvania on Saturday alone — which only draws attention to the fact that he is dangerously flouting the safety guidelines of his own experts at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, daring Americans to hold him accountable for it on Election Day.
Biden delivered a closing argument grounded in his desire to unify the country and be a president for all people, pledging to work \"as hard for those who don't support me as those who do.\"
The former vice president told Minnesota voters that Trump has \"simply given up\" and questioned how many lives could have been saved if Trump had been candid with the American people about the risks the virus posed early this year. The former vice president also pleaded with voters not to give up their sense of optimism, while acknowledging that was a difficult request at a time when nearly 230

By Associated Press Undefined BLAINE, Wash. (AP) — Heavily protected crews in Washington state worked Saturday to destroy the first nest of so-called murder hornets discovered in the United States. The state Agriculture Department had spent weeks searching, trapping and using dental floss to tie tracking devices to Asian giant hornets, which can deliver painful stings to people and spit venom but are the biggest threat to honeybees that farmers depend on to pollinate crops. The nest found in the city of Blaine near the Canadian border is about the size of a basketball and contained an estimated 100 to […]

Spain this week became the first European country to surpass 1 million officially recorded COVID-19 cases.
