We have gone for more than 4 months without getting salaries in Shurugwi Town Council.
The new town secretary, Mr Archibald Ncube and the Town Chairman, Mr Machiya have become a very dangerous combination for the town Council.
The new Secretary works in Shurugwi but drives to and from Zvishavane every day, using a council vehicle and at the Council's expense. He has claimed well over $7000 in Traveling and subsistence (T and S) in the few months he has been in office.
He is hardly seen at work. He was in Harare the whole week, at today, he is driving straight to Zvishavane to join Mr Machiya the council chairman. The chairman signed for $1900 today asT and S for the Masvingo trip.
There is a council kombi whose tender processing was done unscrupulously. The Town secretary is renovating a Council house meant for him, for more than $10 000, which was not budgeted for and is enough to pay more than 50 of us.
Our workmates in the plumbing department, have to attend to fauls, walking for several kilometers on foot because their service vehicle is now being used by Ncube.
Most, if not all workers are now fully supportive of the few councilors who wrote to the Minister of Local gvt saying that they don't want Ncube as the T.S because 2 municipalities including Tongogara Dist council refused him.
We used to ask our Financial Director as to when we can be paid; but he has since been far distanced from most of the financial issues. Wotoshaya kuti Financial Director anoita basa rei chaiko.
May the powers that be save us.
Mhuri dzafa nenzara.
Vamwe we are lodgers.
Apa vana kuzvikoro.
These two monsters should go!

Student Loan Refinancing: Smart Financial Strategies for Graduates
Student loan debt continues to affect millions of graduates worldwide, making refinancing an attractive option for borrowers seeking better repayment terms. Student loan refinancing combines existing loans into a single new loan with updated interest rates and repayment conditions. Many borrowers refinance to reduce monthly payments, simplify debt management, and lower overall interest costs.

Private lenders often offer competitive refinancing rates to borrowers with strong credit histories and stable income. Some lenders also provide flexible repayment schedules, autopay discounts, and personalized loan terms designed to support long-term financial planning. Graduates working in high-income professions may qualify for lower interest rates that significantly reduce repayment costs.
rnrn
Borrowers should carefully consider the differences between federal and private student loans before refinancing. Federal loans often include valuable benefits such as income-driven repayment plans, deferment options, and loan forgiveness programs. Refinancing federal loans into private loans may eliminate access to these protections permanently.

Financial advisors recommend comparing multiple lenders, reviewing loan conditions carefully, and understanding long-term repayment obligations before refinancing student loans. Responsible debt management and consistent payments can improve financial health while reducing financial stress for graduates and working professionals.
