Students jailed over fake $100 notes

Most are driving without road tax’ in TRNC

SIX out of 10 motorists are driving without paying their road tax, an MP has claimed.
Social Democracy Party Gazi Magusa MP Huseyin Angolemli made the startling revelation during a debate in Parliament on transport spending.
The veteran politician said vehicle owners “could not be expected to pay” the tax for roads that were “full of potholes”.

He was one of several MPs to lament the “poor state” of the country’s roads network as they debated the 106-million-TL transport budget.
Others called for stricter EU-style driving tests as well as reflectors to increase the visibility of barriers on unlit sections of the Lefkosa-Guzelyurt dual carriageways, which they labelled a “death-trap”.
Transport Minister Tahsin Ertugruloglu called for the High-ways Department to carry out “daily test drives” to identify problem areas and added that an integrated CCTV crime and traffic tracking system, known in Turkish as “Mobese”, would be beefed up.
He promised to “put his foot down” over poorly planned side roads junctions, labelling an exit road from the Lavinium site onto Girne-Lefkosa dual carriageway “a joke”.
Driving licensing centres in Guzelyurt, Gazi Magusa and Girne will be modernised within 90 days at a total coast of 148,000TL.
The 2016 transport budget also envisages greater traffic safety education for primary and secondary school children.
Mr Ertugruloglu promised a “zero tolerance” approach to roadside advertising: “If these signs are on the right, the left, or in the forest, they are visually polluting and blocking drivers’ views.  The will be removed.”
The minister also admitted that “New Jersey” concrete barriers designed to prevent vehicles crossing over into opposite lanes had been badly installed.
“There are views for ad against New Jersey barriers.  Our mistake was not to have installed them as separate blocks, which can be replaced when necessary,” he said.
He also promised solar-powered street lighting on urban roads and added that a clover leaf junction would replace the Gonyeli roundabout, while over and underpasses were needed at the Haspolat and Hamitkoy junctions.  A tender for an electronic lorry weighing station has also been issued, he said.  Responding, former transport minister Hasan Tacoy said: “We have almost 100 speed cameras, a number which I hope will not increase, and three ‘point-to-point’ average speed check cameras.

“We must ease traffic by sorting out the Gonyeli and Haspolat junctions and put a stop to overload lorries.”

The Traffic Commission has called for new plans on public transport, which Mr Ertugruloglu deemed to be in “total chaos”.

George Charamba should respect women

George Charamba, Mugabe’s Spokesperson who hides behind an effigy called Nathaniel Manheru, did not only attack Dr Joice Mujuru, the politician and leader of Zimbabwe People First in the instalment, but all the women in the country when he chose to base his attacks on what Mujuru was wearing and what he imagined about her anatomy beyond what was visible.
Charamba chose to ignore the political symbolism that Dr Mujuru’s gesture to Guy Watson Smith brings to the issue of the land reform and geopolitics but had presence of mind to fix penetrative eyes beyond Dr Mujuru’s skirt.
On a day Donald Trump reached a new low in his denigration of women in the American election campaign, one would certainly have thought Charamba knew pretty well the bigoted nature of his analysis of Mujuru’s meeting with Watson Smith was infuriating to decent and right-thinking Zimbabweans.
Charamba, in his Manheru instalment, comes across; not only as a misogynist, uncouth and sex-obsessed bloke but as a spoilt brat whose perchance for ribaldry is alarming.
Rather than dwell on his equally misplaced belief that paying compensation to former commercial farmers was reversing the land reform exercise, Manheru hit a new low, choosing to imagine what could have been beyond the skirt Mai Mujuru was wearing.
When Charamba says “Joice has ungainly revealed her bearded political innards too much ahead of 2018”, before telling her “to sit like a woman” you sense you are listening to a pervert with a rapist mentality and the kind of reckless sexual disposition that might, as well, explain the calamities that have befallen him lately, which had him cut short a visit to Japan.
But Charamba is not just a pervert; he is also a modern day Lakunle, Wole Soyinka’s caricature of an African intellectual fond of showing off the number of books he has read and the long list of verbose statements he has mastered which do not go beyond the catalogue of books at his disposal.
Take him away from the books, from reciting Amilcar Cabral, Basil Davidson, and others, the man is virtually empty. That is the reason he can never understand the world we live in today does not allow for the kind of bigotry and misogyny he so blatantly exhibits at the slightest provocation.

I have watched Charamba in my short life and the numerous occasions I have conversed with him, I discovered a deep sense of insecurity, an inferiority complex that he hides behind contrived public show of grandeur, fame by proximity to President Mugabe and an exaggerated intellectualism that makes him believe all those without university degrees among us are “rural idiots”.
He, rather naively, thinks university degrees, equal wisdom when, in fact, there are more stupid professors than wise ones. That is the reason why, in the bible, for those of us who believe in it, there is no mention of a degree in the same line with wisdom.
There are a lot of extremely wise people who cannot speak one English word, have never been to a university in just the same way as we have hordes of professors and Master’s degree holders like Charamba who are wallowing in sublime idiocy.
We have degreed but certified lunatics like Charamba who do not know what to say, when and where? People who think since they control state media, they can write obscenities because their reprobate minds command them thus. That is George “Manheru” Charamba for you, a man personifying some real darkness, a clear indication of the absence of light (knowledge) as suggested by his nome deplume.
In a typically unwise move Charamba chose to engage his mouths (pen) even when he didn’t have full facts on events at the meeting between Dr Mujuru and Guy Watson Smith, the former owner of her Ruzambu farm in Beatrice.
