Zimbabwe Denies Marange Diamonds Allegations

HARARE (AFP) — Zimbabwe on Monday denied it was violating international regulations on conflict diamonds, as a Kimberley Process team started a probe of the country's eastern Marange diamond fields.

Mining secretary Thankful Musukutwa told journalists in the capital that complaints against Zimbabwe for trading in rough diamonds and violating human rights were not true.

"Under the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), conflict diamonds are rough diamonds used by rebel movements or their allies to finance conflict armies at undermining legitimate governments," he said about the scheme against "blood diamonds".

"There is no armed conflict or any involvement of a rebel army or movement in Zimbabwe; therefore Marange diamonds do not fall within KPCS definition of conflict diamonds."
A Human Rights Watch report out Friday accused Zimbabwe's armed forces of using torture and forced labour to control the Marange fields, saying more than 200 people had been killed last year.

Zimbabwe last week denied any killings by security forces.

"What we have in Marange are illegal panners who from time to time evade security forces and engage themselves in illegal digging and trading of diamonds," said Musukutwa on Monday.

The Kimberley team's visit was announced on Friday after a three day conference in Namibia where chairman Bernard Esau said the group had no proof of rights violations in Marange but had noted the HRW report.

Musukutwa said Monday's visit is the third by the scheme. "During the last two visits, they found Zimbabwe fully compliant with KPCS rules and regulations," he said.

Zimbabwe Obtains $950 Million Credit Line From China

(Bloomberg) -- Zimbabwe will receive $950 million of loans from China, nearly double the amount raised during Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s three-week trip to the U.S. and Europe.

The southern African country received “pledges” worth about $500 million from the U.S. and Europe, Tsvangirai said today in an e-mailed statement from the capital, Harare.

“In our drive to rebuild Zimbabwe, we are not limited to a ‘look west’ or ‘look east’ policy, but rather we are committed to engaging our friends in all parts of the globe,” he said.

Zimbabwe needs funds to rebuild its economy after a decade- long economic and political crisis led to famine, disease and hyperinflation. An impasse between Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change and President Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front ended in February when the two parties agreed to form a coalition government.

Since the accord was signed, the MDC has had disputes with Zanu-PF, including Mugabe’s appointment of central bank Governor Gideon Gono and Attorney-General Johannes Tomana.

The MDC accuses the two men of supporting Zanu-PF. Yesterday, the MDC threatened to pull out of the unity government unless it is treated as an “equal partner” by Mugabe’s party.
Tsvangirai said today more loans may be forthcoming if the differences are resolved.

MDC MP Criticises Leader Tsvangirai Over Hypocrisy

MASVINGO – Harrison Mudzuri, the legislator for Zaka Central representing the MDC, has attacked his party’s president, Morgan Tsvangirai, saying he is pretending all is well in Zimbabwe when violations continue despite the establishment of the inclusive government.

Addressing journalists in Masvingo, Mudzuri said Tsvangirai, now Prime Minister in the inclusive government, was not listening to complaints from party members over harassment and political violence.

“Our Prime Minister and party leader is just pretending that things are right in the country when nothing has changed,” said Mudzuri.

“In fact our members are being harassed and arrested everyday, and when you try to tell the Prime Minister, he will say that such complaints will undermine the inclusive government.
“Our people, particularly in Zaka, are being beaten up everyday, and we have nowhere to complain because the Prime Minister says such information undermines the spirit of inclusiveness.”

Mudzuri is the younger brother of MDC national organising secretary Elias Mudzuri, who is also Minister of Energy and Power Development.

Turning to the issue of national healing, Mudzuri said those who killed people during the run-up to the June 27 presidential election runoff should all come out in the open in order for them to be forgiven.

Zaka district experienced some of the worst violence during the run-up to the presidential election runoff boycotted by Tsvangirai because of widespread violence against MDC supporters.
In one of the incidents three MDC supporters were burnt beyond recognition at Jerera Growth Point after the safe house in which they were living was set ablaze by known Zanu-PF supporters.

Five other MDC supporters in the house were seriously injured during the inferno and are still in hospital, almost a year after the incident.

“It is true that we want to forgive,” said Mudzuri, “but who do we forgive? Those who know that they need to be forgiven should first of all come out in the open and admit that they need forgiveness; then we will forgive.”

Mudzuri’s criticism of Tsvangirai comes about a week after the Prime Minister was booed in London for urging Zimbabweans living in the Diaspora to come back home.

The audience, which forced Tsvangirai to cut short his speech, dismissed his call and told the Prime Minister that they would only return after the removal of President Robert Mugabe from power.

Tsvangirai told US and European leaders during his international tour that he had a good working relationship with Mugabe, and that Zimbabwe was on an irreversible path to recovery and democratic reform.

Critics say his optimism was premature.

Back at home, events presented a contrast to Tsvangirai’s positive message. On Monday, his ministers boycotted a cabinet meeting, arguing Mugabe had moved the date of the meeting forward to prevent Tsvangirai from chairing it on Tuesday.

Tsvangirai returned from his tour on Monday as Mugabe was preparing to leave for an African Union meeting on Tuesday, the traditional day of the cabinet meetings.

Japanese Skincare

I'd always been fascinated by those Japs who are so advanced in producing their cosmetics and skincare items... They could always think up of all sorts of ingredients or create all kinds of chemicals to enhance the beauty of us gals who desperately needed it...



And I happen to stumble upon an ebay site that sell them and deliver to the UK (Malaysia is very very "hangat" (popular) in having various blogshop and friendster accounts selling them precious products but they do not provide shipping to the UK).



And, at a go, I'd bought 5 items.

Kanebo Kracie MOISTAGE Essence Cream 50g Moisture Rich for day use.

DHC Platinum Silver Nanocolloid Whitening Cream 45g with nano modified platinum and silver for skin whitening. Planning to use it during night time...

Kose Happy Bath Day Precious Rose Hair Cologne Fragrance. This would be absolutely useful whenever I wanna eliminate the oily smell of my hair.


DHC Diet Supplement to enhance the smell of the body (it stated as ROSE). Woah, I'd heard of this product before and so wanted to get my hands on it. Hopefully after a month, my scent will be as attractive as a White Rose (or is it Red!?)

My Beauty Diary Black Pearl Mask for Whitening. You may had realized by now, I'm a whitening freak. Almost everybody bloody thing I possess must kinda have this whitening effect. I don't care about those tanning loh, I mean, why wanna make yourself look dirty with the dark skin effect (or rather orange skin for those fake tan)?

And the best part of all these is they cost £50 (delivery included).
