President Robert Mugabe’s Spokesman George Charamba could face the chop under a new formula to allocate the Permanent secretary positions. Under the same formula which was used to allocate deputy ministerial positions if the Minister belongs to ZANU PF the MDC will appoint the Permanent secretary and vice versa.
Charamba is the Permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information and Publicity whose Minister is Webster Shamu from ZANU PF.
News of Charamba’s departure would likely be treated with joy within the MDC ranks as he has already ruffled feathers in the all inclusive government.
Sources allege that Charamba colluded with Cabinet secretary Misheck Sibanda firstly to try and clandestinely swear in more ministers than originally agreed by the parties. Charamba reportedly masterminded the unilateral appointment of permanent secretaries in violation of power-sharing agreement.
Charamba is also accused of trying to wrestle control of the telecommunications department from the Ministry of Communications to fall under the Ministry of Information & Publicity.
Last week at the Net One headquarters Shamu reportedly told Communications Minister Nelson Chamisa to seek an audience with Charamba to resolve the dramatic conflict between Media, Information and Publicity and Information & Communications Technology over the telecommunications sector.
Shamu reportedly admitted that telecommunications was clearly outside his Jurisdiction but said he was following instructions. He further stated that he was tired of being used when there was so much work to do in his own ministry.
Another well placed source in the Ministry of Information has revealed that Charamba,who is also Mugabe’s speechwriter advised the president to assert his authority in a speech delivered on his birthday in which he vowed to seize more farms.
Charamba’s actions have prompted a senior Prime Minister’s aide to call for his resignation as his actions are threatening the unity government, “The prime minister and his deputy are going to tell Mugabe that if he is genuinely interested in an inclusive government, he has to either transfer the civil servants to less influential jobs or fire them. Last week, the prime minister spoke about the need for the country to stop land invasions, only for Mugabe to come out in public and say land invasions would continue,” said the aide.
“As long as Mugabe listens to these civil servants, who happen to be his advisers, then we are going nowhere with the unity government. “Mugabe’s language at his birthday bash is clear testimony that he is being used by some unscrupulous people who are against change in government,” the aide said.
Last week Charamba was forced to drop his weekly column written under the pseudonym ‘Nathaniel Manheru’ in The Herald after he learnt that Joint Monitoring and Implementation Committee (JOMIC) – established under the framework of the inclusive Government was going to issue an statement demanding that the column and all other ‘biased and inflammatory reporting’ to stop.
i find what charamba writes and says very articulate and makes a whole bundle of dollars not cents.the villifications he gets from the so called independent media is bcoz he hits the nail on the head.you want us to blive that charamba will b made irrelevent by cde mgabe,no.charamba is a pen cadre of zanu pf,sometimes wen you want to get insight into gvt issues read his articles.we have him as one of the most partiriotic zims with the pen like reason wafawarova,and others.so for u to make us think that mugabe can discard charamba bcoz the puppets r in gvt is mere hallusination on yo part.charambaeven if he moves ,he will find another role to play.his articles hit to the core of the maweres,nyarotas and even the stupids who write this blog of makuhwa.nezuro maiti ndigono nhasi manyepa futi.all yo articles r made to pliz the babas ,gusenis of this world.but the truth is zanu wil prevail lk we did for more than ten yrs,with al the support you got from the worst bt failed to dislodge us from power.hanzi naana baba zanu yapera.dream on.zviroto izvi.ICHOOOO!!!!!!
Charamba is actually one of the brains behind the fall of ZANU(PF) and in partiucular Mugabe himself. Remember he was one of those who masterminded the Tsholotsho Coup. Charamba is a con man and he overdoes things to cover himself. He was busy getting money from CIA selling state secretsif you don’t know. As to the claim that he is patriotic, thats nonsense. Patriotism is not measured by the amount of noise that one makes but actions. How can a patriotic citzen sell state secrets to foreign agents? Morever, Charamba was never anywhere near the war for independence. These are the mafikizolos like Chiyangwa, Border Gezi, Eliot Manyika (may their souls rest in peace) who were using the confusion in ZANU(PF) to make money, cheating Mugabe that they are patrioti. Con men
If we charge Bennet with possession of arms of war, what do we charge the government of Robert mugabe with since they abused the arms of war, which they procured on behalf of the people of Zimbabwe, to commit murder and acts of war against the citizens of Zimbabwe?If we can not pardon Roy bennet because he was a rhodesian soldier, how do we pardon Robert Mugabe and his people who committed worse crimes against the people of independent Zimbabwe through the abuse of power?
Please zviroto ngazvive zviroto. Cde Charamba is NOT going anywhere.
guys mugabe does not need to be charged by anyone -for what? Those who died , died in battle during a war against imperialists.Anyone killed in June died because they were part of a regime change agenda designed to destabilise our country.Those mdc terrorists now perpetrating violence will soon be made to pay..we are watching you. charamba ishumba. Even that ganster george w bush failed to remove us from power -what makes you think anyone will? Mr brown is a coward of mega proportions.He is even afraid to call an election in his own country.The fact of the matter is he will lose…period.He is unelected.
Morgan tsvangirai is a dreamer but on becoming president one day , he must forget.It will remain what it is , a dream.Thats why i am dreamer-everything is so nice when im dreaming…remember that song? Farms must be given to the people-yes the black people. These whites abused us during rhodesia and i will never forget.They never even apologised for their mass murders and poverty they caused.Now bennet acts like a born again christian.Rot in chikurubi you mother ****..er. I hate those Rhodesians with a passion.If i was mugabe i would do much more than take farms, i would make them pack their belongings and chuck them in the zambezi to feast with crocodiles.ichooooo!!! bastards!!!! let brown collect all those old white ladies and leave us alone.he knows they ar suffering as a result of the so called targetted sanctions.targetted my foot!!! In mugabe we trust.
Scarface and nicol you are worse than the devil, we lost people we loved who were killed by mugabe using our resources, we always mention that mugabes turn to answer for all this is coming mark my words. Your language really proves why you are not scared to kill just for power, shame on you. Your day to answer to this is coming.
Charamba that guy should go and I am glad that the permanent secretary will be coming from MDC we will sort zanu out too much manipulation. He can concetrate on writing the hate spe****s against whites for mugabe as that is his specialisation. We will never miss him, this is a time to reconstruct and unite and our President speeks fieces like he did on his birthday celebration. I feel embarrased to be Zimbabwean when that idiot speeks.
scarface wabaya dede mumukana sha ,no court wil ever try any zanu cadre ,wether greenbomber,excombatant for any loss of life while defending the sovereignity of the motherland ,zim.we cn give examples of tandare,mkoko,and all the mdc sellouts that were casualities of the regime change agenda.vakafira mahara ikozvino tsvangirai is nw in zanu and al those fans died in vain.until we make all the bennets account for the loss of our liberators anachimbwido,ana mukoma,ana mujibha we will nt rest .zimbabwe yakauya neropa.mdc casualities sld have taken also baba ,guseni,****zanu and all.tomana has bn sworn in today as non voting member of parliament toda kuti arambe akasona bennet kusvika aenda kuchikurubi and also to bring to zim mari dzaana tsvangirai dzaaibata.tidzidye kuzim.mdc has dreamers in abundance from top to bottom,tsvangirai to baba,guseni.ICHOOOOO!!!!
Dream on nicol and really you think with your buttocks like mugabe, all permanent secretaries appointed by your mad president were fired by the PM, and now there is a new system of appointing the permanent secretaries. You can be in denial forever but your people will answer one day for their actions against Zimbabweans whom they claim to be their leaders. You are such an embarasment to humanity. I really urge you to enjoy while it lasts. That idiot who seems drunk all the time the attorney general will not be in that position very soon. Continue being denialist you zanu fools.
nicol you slut. When are you going to get educated and learn to spell you piece of trash.
All those mdc sellouts died in vain.its now time for reconciliation because morgan is now one of us.he is now busy carrying out the president’s orders. Zanu pf always make the first move and then mdc run around trying to correct the situation, by then it will be too late. Remember those extra mps? we still got them in -we just played with your minds. Mati madini wafana wami-this is zimbabwe and we will be in charge till the end of days.
pamberi ne zanu-we have swallowed the opposition already.
Eh actually Nicol, all a lot of those green bombers and some brainless war vets who stole, raped or murdered are been prosecuted as we speak. Mugaybe is very good at manipulating the uneducated as yourself, Scarface and the rest of the rent-a-mob. He is proving true to his nature by completely ignoring your pleas for mercy. Haikona kushandiswa nemhondi iya, muchamanya chete.
p.s. why aren’t you at home enjoying the fruits of the ‘revolution’? Your hypocrisy knows no bounds……
whether Charamba or not he has already been brought to order by Morgan no more Nathaniel Manheru. Morgan is not being swallowed actually he is winning the swallowing game ZANU will soon be history look at the publicity that will come to Morgan in a better Zim that is already showing. Even the Jonathan Moyo has already admitted that in 2 years time Tsvangirayi will be the most powerful man in our Land and with hands down under a new constitution will win and ZANOIDS shall be history even Prof Mutambara will do better than ZANU in the next elections remember Mugabe will be on a walking stick by then and Munangagwa bad name too many killings and diamond corruption who will be the engine then
Charamba is a true hero of our times and anyone who thinks he is going anywhere is thinking with his/her hormones. Charamba ishumba zveshuwa! We need more people like him. ICHO!!!!!!!!!
And Morgan has just got his Zanu party card back! ICHOOOOOO!!!!!
Oh yes Morgan is doing it, I thot he was going to mess up but you know what things are starting to change slowly. Vana Chihuri vekuwana mabasa epamusoro becoz vakakwirirwa vakadzi na Mugabe vachamusaluta Morgan. I am so happy for MDC. Even if Mugabe calls for elections he will not win a thing now, its even worse considering the kind of leadership Tsvangirai has shown. It touched my heart when Morgiza went to Harare central hospital to visit patience when Mugabe was doing his birthday do. Mugabe does not care does he. Your time is up mr Bob just like Smith, Muzorewa, and all the others prepare to go.
Mr Charamba is a true party cadre wether you like or not he represents the intrest of the people of Zimbabwe and must remain focused .That is wishful thinking my bro wake up and face the reality ok
mh@ta dzese dziri kuita noise ne cliche ye’sovereignty’ ngadzinyarare mhani. your noisy rhetoric does not bring food to my hungry family. just shut up you sluts!
ICHO!!!!
mugabe’s time is over indeed you can say that again. There are workers that were paid US1600.00 hard currency this month and this is a fact. This shows the kind of change Morgan our Prime Minister is bringing. It means a lot that when mugabe had that ugly cake on Sartuday Morgan was seeing patients in hospital. It is time up for mugabe. Lets get rid of three people for progress sake now: Gono, Charamba and the idiot who was sworn in with our Prime Minister.
We cannot let this continue in zimbabwe, how can these prosecutors fight all the way to the supreme court just for a remand. The high court judge has ruled and these mad prosecutors following orders of mugabe are pursuing this route vakomana when it is pay back time muchandifunga. Mwari be with you at that time.
Gono is not just an idiot. Here is what he is a:
1. Looter (looted poeple’s forex).
2. Womaniser (dozens of small houses).
3. Most uneducated (doctorate from AIU).
4. Hypocrite (says he takes home US$100-00) when he looted my uncle’s FCA.
5. Desperate (Does not want to leave RBZ).
6.Very uneconomic (printed money till all machines broke down, bought cars, double cabs for office bearers who don’t travel, heavy vehicles for all grades and
7. Can’t reason (How can he buy prados for people who take home US$100-00 per month?
