$500 000 for Budiriro demolitions victims
AS residents of Budiriro, Harare, start to pick up the pieces following the ill-timed and callous decision by the MDC-Alliance led council to demolish their houses, several Zimbabweans, who include Impala Car Rental chief executive officer and music promoter, Mr Thompson Dondo have stepped-in to offer assistance to those in need.
On Wednesday, Mr Dondo, whose company is into charity work, braved the wet weather and travelled to Budiriro where he donated $500 000 to Mr Nhamo Magwizi whose house was razed to the ground during the recent demolitions which sparked national outrage.
Seated in his wheelchair and soaking in the rains, the 42 year-old Mr Magwizi was clearly at a loss for words as he described how his house was demolished with no alternative accommodation as per the instructions from central Government.
“My life is now upside down. I don’t even know what to do. I am thinking of building one room and a toilet, but you never know, maybe they will come back again to destroy our houses. I am hoping if we can’t stay here, authorities will find somewhere to put us. Our situation is terrible”.
On Tuesday after the Cabinet meeting, Local Government and Public Works Minister July Moyo said while the Government fully upholds the rule of law and does not interfere with the Judiciary and its orders, council should be sensitive on its timing when implementing the orders such as the demolition of houses in Budiriro.
For Mr Mangwizi, who paid for his house and was even paying bills to the MDC A-controlled council, his aim was always to ensure his family had a roof over their heads, but now that is all a dream. Mr Magwizi, who is married and has two children, said after the demolitions, he has been staying with one of his friends in Budiriro while his family has moved to Kadoma.
Touched by the plight of Mr Magwizi, who is disabled, Mr Dondo donated $500 000 to Mr Magwizi’s so that he can have somewhere to start.
“I saw your story on social media and I was touched. It’s raining and you are a disabled man with a family. My heart sank and I said I have to do something for you in the immediate. I will transfer 500 000 into your account tomorrow” he said.
He, however, dissuaded Mr Magwizi from building another house in the same location where many structures now lie in ruins following the callous action by the MDC-A council.

Best Car Insurance Quotes: How to Save Money
Car insurance is necessary, but that does not mean you should overpay. Comparing car insurance quotes can help drivers find better rates and coverage. Prices can vary widely between insurance companies, even for the same driver.
To find cheap auto insurance, compare at least three to five quotes. Look at liability coverage, collision, comprehensive, uninsured motorist coverage, deductibles, and policy limits.
What Affects Car Insurance Rates?
The best car insurance rates depend on your age, driving history, vehicle type, location, credit history, annual mileage, and coverage level. Drivers with clean records usually pay less.
Bundling home and auto insurance, increasing your deductible, maintaining good credit, and asking about discounts may lower your premium.
Full Coverage Insurance
Full coverage insurance usually includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage. It costs more than minimum coverage but may provide better protection after an accident, theft, storm damage, or vandalism.
Final Thoughts
The best way to save on auto insurance is to compare quotes regularly. Even if you already have coverage, shopping around may help you find a better deal.
