Zimbabwe's main opposition party MDC Alliance says about 30 of its members have fled their homes for fear of being abducted

Zimbabwe's main opposition party MDC Alliance says about 30 of its members have fled their homes for fear of being abducted.

The party has tweeted that some members were contemplating "moving their children to safer places".

Many fear being tortured or detained, it said.

Opposition supporters and activists called for anti-government protests towards the end of last month to decry economic mismanagement and corruption.

The government suppressed the protests by warning people to stay indoors and cracked down on solo protesters.

Those arrested have been charged with various offences that activists say have been fabricated to fall within the constitution.

249 professional footballers under investigation over tax avoidance

A STAGGERING 246 professional footballers are under investigation by tax chiefs.

And the number of players being probed by HMRC over potential tax avoidance breaches has almost TREBLED in the past year.

Freedom of information requests by accountants UHY Hacker Young have revealed that cases under investigation by tax officers during 2019-20 has risen by 159, from 87 the previous season.

The cases may relate to image-rights deals, where players are paid extra money on top of their salaries for the use of their image by the club in advertising and endorsements.

Commonly this income is paid to a company set up by the player and it is only taxed at the 19 per cent corporation tax rate rather than the 45 per cent income tax rate paid by high earners.

And in some cases image rights companies are based offshore, which can reduce the money owed even further.

Elliott Buss, partner at UHY Hacker Young, said: “HMRC believes that lots of lesser-known footballers are effectively avoiding tax by getting paid huge sums for image rights that HMRC views as overpriced.

“If you’re a second-choice left-back in the Championship getting paid a great deal in image-rights payments, then this is likely to trigger an investigation by the taxman.


“You may have to make a robust argument to HMRC to show how the value of the image rights has been arrived at.”

Figures released by the tax office to the national accountancy group confirm 55 agents are also being investigated — up from 23 in 2018-19.

The tax authority suspects there are cases where agents’ fees from transfers — which are paid by players and run into millions of pounds — are not declared correctly for tax purposes.

There are also 25 open investigations into football clubs for the tax year 2019-20.

HMRC’s overall additional tax collected from investigations into professional football in 2019-20 totalled £73.1million — with £60.1m of that coming from clubs.

Explosives expert claims Beirut explosion was caused by burning military missiles - not ammonium nitrate

On Sunday, Minister of Health Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda announced new measures aimed at fighting COVID-19 and some of the measures include restriction of public gatherings of more than 10 people.

In a statement released on Sunday night, ECM through its Publicity Secretary Father Henry Saindi, Bishops expressed reservation with how government has come up with new measures without consulting religious leaders and other concerned parties in the country.

“Episcopal Conference of Malawi wishes to express its displeasure at the manner the new Guidelines have been issued. They have taken us by surprise. We were neither informed nor consulted despite the fact that we have been in the forefront lobbying for COVID-19 compliant behavior. In wider society the previous Guidelines were largely ignored but in churches we applied them diligently and we were teaching all Christians the importance of complying. We believe we still have a role to play in this regard.

“However, since we are law abiding, we the Catholic Bishops instruct all the Clergy, the Religious and the Laity to suspend forthwith all public Church gatherings until further notice. In the meantime, we shall engage the Government to see our true role inpreventing the further spread of COVID-19,” reads in part the statement.

He added: “We wish to reiterate that all earlier ECM Directives shall remain in force. Christians should pray in their homes every day. On Sundays, the Order of Prayers where there is No Mass should be used. Priests should celebrate Mass daily in their Parish Church or Community
chapel in order to pray for the intentions of the people. To compliment this, Catholic media houses should broadcast the Eucharistic celebration which Christians will follow at designated times of the day.

“We urge the Clergy, the Religious and the Laity to continue to strictly adhere to the Health and Pastoral Guidelines earlier issued by the Conference and Ministry of Health i.e. washing hands with soap regularly and thoroughly, avoiding physical greeting and contact, observing
social distance, using face masks etc.”

Meanwhile government has promised to engage religious leaders on the matter.

Chilima tells Escom 'AVOID AGREEMENTS THAT DON’T MAKE FINANCIAL SENSE'

By Misheck Msumba

The State Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima has warned the Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi(ESCOM) to avoid making agreements that do not make Financial sense.

In an update posted on his(Chilima) official Facebook page, after a meeting which the Vice President Chilima had chaired on Friday, August 7 2020 with ESCOM, the Electricity Generation Company (EGENCO), the Ministry of Energy, the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) and the officials from the Public Sectors Reforms team, Chilima said he is concerned with the exorbitant price of fuel for diesel which ESCOM purchases from the Aggreko company.

“One resolution that has been made that I can pre-empt here is that ESCOM will stop buying fuel(diesel) for Aggreko to generate power using generators. We have given 30 days to ESCOM to resolve this with Aggreko.

“It does not make any economic sense for ESCOM to be buying fuel to supply to Aggreko and then the same Aggreko sells power to ESCOM using the same fuel that ESCOM provided. We have advised ESCOM to stop signing agreements that do not make Financial sense,” said Chilima.

Chilima has also advised EGENCO and ESCOM to resolve outstanding loans, which ESCOM owes EGENCO.

According to Chilima, EGENCO charges ESCOM bills of over K1.8 billion monthly.

“EGENCO presented a number of Issues choking it’s operations of billions of unpaid bills sold to ESCOM and the non-conclusive unblindling process that has left EGENCO without legal title of assests,” added Chilima.

However, according to Chilima ESCOM feels EGENCO overcharges it(ESCOM) interms of the bills which EGENCO sells to ESCOM.

Chilima has since promised the two companies that Treasury will on next week Tuesday convene a meeting with the two to resolve the outstanding issues of financial and assets disputes. And also to complete a process of unbundling the two power generation companies.

“After resolving these outstanding issues, what remains now is to put down a two year roadmap between ESCOM and EGENCO that will ensure that the current stable power supply is maintained or improved. With surplus within the stipulated two-year time frame.” Said Chilima.
