Cape Town taxi rank became a War Zone today here in South Africa as SAPS (South Africa Police Service) stepped in to discipline misdemeanant Taxi operators who had beat up a police officer who was clamping an unlicensed taxi. The traffic police was empowered to clamp on cars that are not roadworthy and taxis' have not been spared. However, rowdy taxi drivers and conductors turned resistant and violent which forced SAPS to reinforce and to bring them to order. Taxis had turned into nightmares and daymares on the road as they drove anyhow in disrespect of the traffic laws causing unnecessary loss of life due to recklessness. SAPS' intervention suspended the movement of taxis today and left many people stranded in town. It was however a necessity as rowdy taxis were operating in lawlessness and were terrorising motorists. 

And their Scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, "Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?" Jesus answered and said to them, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." (KJV 5.30 -31) If the scripture above was a quotation from the words of Jesus Christ the Son of God who is the head of the Church then anyone who leads the Church today must abide by what was said. Jesus was responding to the Scribes and Pharisees who had outlined a lot of human principles and had established doctrines that inhibited people from coming to God in repentance. The hospital is not a place for well people and doctors and nurses do not need those people because they were or are trained to attend to the ailing so that they recuperate and intergrate back into the society. This was Jesus' graphic depiction of his Church : a centre of rehabilitation for sin

Manchester City Manager, Pep Guardiola has managed to grab the treble Championships, (FA Championship, English Premiership and UCL) this season, making him qualify to be named the greatest manager of all time. Pep has historically mentored, groomed and shaped players including the World best footballer of all time, Lionel Messi who is able to interchangeably switch positions simultaneously thereby deceiving defenders. Guardiola was able to win championships with big teams like Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Manchester City. This is a feat that he has achieved through being able to transform players to play according to the attacking strategies that he formulates. Such kind of coaching techniques enables the coach to be able to depend on his team rather than star players. In his current Ethihad squad he has nurtured more than three playmakers as examplified by De Bryune and Gundugan thereby forming a formidable and difficult side to beat and a forward goal scoring team. The teams that hav

France's Captain and Paris Saint - Germain (PSG) forward, Kylian Mbappe seems to be the only player in the World that can change the strength of any club team in the coming 2023/2024 season as highlighted by media reports. Coaches and Clubs have been restructuring and strengthening their squads to perform better this coming next season. Liverpool team which finished on the fifth position on the recent 2022/2023 English Premiership League are rumoured to be interested in the French man whom they might likely be wrestled against by Real Madrid who are prepared to spend a whooping 250 million Euros. However, given the stingy record of Liverpool which made them part with Senegalese player Sadio Mane they might easily be defeated in the Mbappe money contest. Mbappe's mother, Fayza Lamari has great love for Liverpool and might be behind pushing her son to move to Anfield. It is now clear that PSG are eager to let the player go for millions rather than letting him go on a free transfe

 Opinion A fact that triple C (Citizens Coalition for Change) leader, Mr Nelson Chamisa correlated was that his deputy,  Tendai  Biti was irrelevant in Parliament of Zimbabwe as it ceased to be a viral platform that could not be juxtaposed to the South African Parliament which can effect changes due to its practicability. The powers that be have the majority in Parliament and could probably direct the country were they see fit an attribution that can be alluded to the African socialist platform which former President Robert Mugabe was an astute student of. In socialism a leader(s) direct the people and not the other way round. If we recede back in time you would not tell Changamire Dombo of The Rozvi people (Zimbabwe's ancestoral leaders) what to do but he would tell his people the direction to take. In other words Biti's perspective is therefore not needed especially with the mindset of the African historical leadership that the powers that be have aligned the political system

With Hannock Ngaru  If anyone would want to talk about God today they have to include the historical Jesus and presence of the Holy Spirit who is in the World  today. The scripture is also an intergral reference that vividly articulates the reality of the Godhead and guides humanity to learn more about Him. Jesus as a person would enter the Synagogue, where doctors of the Law who studied about him but ignorantly missed his position during their time: open the book of the Law and would say this Word/Law has been fulfilled in your hearing referring to himself which would push the blinded learned men to try and stone him to death without much success though. "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” (Luke 4.21, NKJV). This scripture is an epitome of the legendary Jesus who was part of the incarnated God who lived as a Jew but introd

The wet, cold winters' spell has dampened farms in the Western Cape province in Cape Town South Africa as most of the crops especially in the market gardening zone have been shattered by water logging. In Farms around Philipi today, farm managers were struggling to sell cash crop vegetables as they had been disturbed by the rains which characterise the winters this season. Most buyers were complaining of too much sand on vegetables, carrots and on other fresh produce from the farm that threatened to deter their retail businesses. Even though, water logging might be of concern the water table has risen to avert previous droughts that normally hit Cape Town.

Analysis South African market forces point to a mending economy due to several market indicators that have turned on a green light from an amber light that was flashing preparing to hit the red zone that signaled a plunge into recession. The dwindling of fuel prices which had soared is one of the quickest market indicators that signaled a stabilising economy which seemed to have slipped out of the State's control. Fuel especially petrol's price tag was slowly getting out of hand and affected the prices of daily necessities like bread. Petrol prices fell from around R22.30 to around R21.90 which is a good indication since it is quite unexpected to have a drop in fuel prices. Furthermore, another indicator that put Mzansi into the economic green zone is the availability of electricity which has powered the industrial zone which decried the loadshedding that was taking place even though, the expenditure has been passed on to the  consumers through the hiking of tarrifs. Although,

Welcome to the first segment on the column, Night Spots whereby thegazee magazine will explore and give a detailed narrative on nightspot areas all over Southern Africa and beyond if necessary. Tonight we start with night life in South Africa's Legislative and Tourism Capital, Cape Town. Thegazee reviews Tiffany night bar in one of Cape Town's leafiest and quietest suburbs. The place is very quiet and located in Voortrekker main road and has all the necessary peaceful environments to spend one's money and quality time. Tiffany has no place for violence and is a middle class bar obviously that deserves those who work hard to spend their time without disturbances. It has different categories depending with the taste of revellers who would have visited. The main room is well decorated and designed to accommodate those who consume different types of alcohol and has got a pool table to entertain those who enjoy it. It is sub - divided into a bar room with a television to enterta

Felistas Murata well known as Mai Titi continues to headline the media for the wrong reasons as woes continue to mount on her. The Zimbabwean social media comedian is at the centre of a fraud case according to media reports and social media. Mai Titi it is said has been dragged to court for failing to pay for the services of a vehicle she hired which had attracted a sum of USD 10 000. An amount she unfortunately cannot afford to pay and is at the centre of the courts which are yet to decide on her fate. Her case still holds comical effects as her pleas to be exonerated are a misnomer if found guilty as charged. She is recorded as pleading for mercy as a first offender, that she has children and unveiled her HIV status. However, Mai Titi remains a Zimbabwean caricature whose allegorical folklore will continue to bring comic relief to her country mates in their dire times. 

I welcome you to yet another edition on the column of Religion which is quite wide and big however, I am still focusing on an encompassing topical godly slant that most people hide in.  This topic is the essence of the Godhead which drove God to give his only begotten Son so that he would reconcile Himself with the World that would believe in him (Son). Anyone who attaches himself to godliness is obligated to be encapsulated in Love and has to Forgive. Love and Forgiveness are an oxygen tank to the gods (those who believe in the Son of God, Psalms 82). This is what most people fail to understand and to grasp. According to the bible, " If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother he is a liar : for he that loveth not his brother he hath seen, how  can he love God who he hath not seen?" 1 John 4.20  (KJV). The Devil has taken it upon himself to snare and blind many individuals by burning them with hate and keeping a record of wrongs thereby inflicting them with diseases and

In a hard fought encounter tonight at Ataturk stadium, Instabul, Turkey, Manchester City defeated Inter Milan to win the UEFA Champions' League match which was there only accolade that was left to put in their bag of Championship titles. Man City won by a goal to nil which was scored by the Spanish defensive midfielder Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante in the 68th minute of the second half of the match. Manchester City had never won the UCL Championship before and it was their first time to become Champions of Europe which did not come on a silver platter but they worked hard for it after passing through their major inhibition Real Madrid 5 - 1 on aggregate in the Semi - Final at Etihad stadium. It was as obvious at it sounded that they would sail through basing on their form but today's match on practical level did not exhibit what was on paper or on assumptions by supporters. However, City who lost Kevin De Bryune through injury and had to be replaced by Phil Foden soldeired on to b

Drivers should take responsibility when they embark on their various destinations on the roads and value the sanctity of life. A fortnight ago several people perished in Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, South Africa after a Bakkie collided with a taxi that was carrying passengers and media reports recorded the death of five school children who were on board which was a very sad development and such disasters must continue to be put on record to caution drivers to remember that the whole idea is to preserve life and arrive safely to your intended destination. It is clear that once an engine of a vehicle idles it should only be switched off on arrival. The story of the Mitchell's Plain disaster succinctly encapsulates the consequences of reckless driving and the pain inflicted on the families of the school children who were unable to go back home. Not only did it end with Mitchell's Plain but the death of a little child (name supplied) in Tembisa and those injured from the fight chase

  Although, it is not possible to conclude on a pre - match outcome a supposition can be posited that Manchester City who bask in the glory of being crowned English Champions may complete the circuit if they defeat Italian club Inter Milan. The two teams, meet tomorrow in the Final match of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) to be played tomorrow at Ataturk Stadium in Instabul, Turkey at 2100 hours. It will be the 68th season of Europe Premier club tournament by UEFA since it's renaming. Man City's Guardiola will probably put his best side as he seeks to bag this accolade that has eluded him for seasons and he is on record that he would resign if he wins it with City. However, football is always a Sport of surprises and a team like Inter Milan may not be easily under estimated as it has gone through the stages to reach the finals especially by urging out rivals, AC Milan at San Siro stadium in Italy in the build up to the finals. Man City took out the best, Real Madrid at Etihad s

 Opinion  The return of Saviour "Tyson" Kasukuwere into Zimbabwean politics is just a proverbial allegory folklore that remains in the history records of Zimbabwean politics and can only be recited to those who missed the contemporarity attached to it. Tyson is a remnant of the ZANU PF G40 faction that was deposed along side the legendary Zimbabwean fallen leader, the late Robert Gabriel Mugabe. He had to flee down South alongside Jonathan Moyo, Walter Muzembi, Patrick Zhuwao and e.t.c. from the second Republic as it is affectionately called. Tyson bounces back to stand in the Presidential challenge race scheduled for this August and will square off with incumbent President, Emmerson D. Mnangagwa and Zimbabwe's main opposition leader Triple C's Nelson Chamisa. Tyson party is called New Alliance Zimbabwe and consists of people who have failed before like Nkosana Moyo. Perchance, he would get a small portion of voters that come with the Mugabe name as his relatives like

 It is obvious that a rich and influencial club in Spain like, Santiago Bernabeu's Real Madrid would move in to rebuild and inject new blood when they fail to win a championship race like the UEFA Champions' League (UCL). Iconic and charismatic Captain, Karim Benzema played his final match during the weekend marking his exit from active and viral international football. The 35 - year - old retired French international heads to Saudi Arabian club, Alttihad : joining his former teammate at Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo. He is set to earn millions  and has the new club as his retirement package. The French man was on a losing side that faced a rejuvenated and determined Manchester City. However, Benzema is not the only one that is leaving as Vinicious Juniour, Hazard, Luca Modric are also set to leave as well. Real Madrid hope on cashing in on French man, Killian Mbappe who feels he is not being appreciated at his current club PSG which is also facing a mass exodus of it's be

Time continue to excelerate especially this winter season as loadshedding acts as it's catalyst with citizens in South Africa and it's neighbour to the north, Zimbabwe are quickly forced to resign to bed. Although, the business community has strategised measures like even working during wee hours still the exhaustion goes back to individuals who are in action. Cape Town still experience unique cool wet winters with drizzle/precipitation highly expected to be experienced this week. The construction industry is affected the most as workers dilly - dally with the rains that characterise the winter season. However, in some parts of South Africa like Johannesburg it's only cool dry winters with temperatures dropping drastically. More so, politically the economy is slowly calming down as the wave of controversies that shook the market die down. In Zimbabwe, the set election dates for August have riled the economy into the abyss as a lot of legislature has been enacted and has sai

  Cape Town, South Africa - A flat in Kensington suburb in fifth street Avenue caught fire when electricity was restored yesterday afternoon with witnesses saying electrical gadgets were left on. The Gaze Magazine reporter was on the scene and interviewed witnesses. "The fire began through an electrical iron which was forgotten on the plug when scheduled loadshedding took place. But when electricity was restored the iron exploded which caused the fire to start, " said a witness who spoke on condition of anonymity. Fire brigade managed to put down the fire and brought things to normalcy. However, The Gaze was unable to get entrance into the flat because it was private property and under guard.

 Controversial Zimbabwean comedian, Mai Titi who is at a high level comic nudity scandal refused to speak to The Gaze Magazine yesterday when given a chance to give her side of the story pertaining her flooding social media in nude pics. She ignored a list of questions that we send her on her what's app message. It can be asserted that there is no - one who might be behind the leaking of her not so appetising birthday suit pics splashed on social media the day before yesterday. Media reports say her perceived ex - husband has vehemently denied any connection with the leaked snaps as he commented from his United States base. He argued that they never took each other nude pics and if it were so then Mai Titi would also publish his in retaliation. However, Mai Titi going quiet on the issue and ignoring media outlets raises a lot of eyebrows.

In this article I am going to use different techniques as I try to get into the mind of such abominable personalities who have the mindset of rape and try as much as I can to put measures on how to deal and distance oneself from people of such a calibre. Rape is forcefully having sex with someone against their will through unorthodox means. It can only be perpetrated by a person or a people who are anti - social and who are ungodly, whose minds are seared with a hot iron in terms of biblical terminology. A man or a boy who has self worth knows how to respect and differentiate women and girls according to their status and social standing. Whereas a deranged psychopath cannot distinguish between a relative and a non relative he would rather go after a sister or cousin because of uncontrollable lust that is demonic and aligned to cultism. Cases of Fathers raping their own daughters which are on the rise are a sadistic demonic kind of influence that are aligned to cults and abominable crim

Zimbabwean socialite, hilarious comedian Mai Titi (real name Felistas Murata) has gone too far by washing her dirty linen in public and claiming that she is being subotaged by an imaginary ex - husband who is in the United States. Zimbabweans just woke up yesterday to pornographic pictures of Mai Titi flooded on the internet. But the pics did not expose the nitty gritties. The pics however, generated different comic comments from followers who took turns to argue among themselves. The Gaze can exclusively deduce that the pornographic splashing of not so apetising nude pics on social media are a facade of phony doctoring that has racked in non existing enemies and have been put to garner hits on the social media platform. The pics show a pale Mai Titi covering her privates and exposes her unpleasant back side and a partial part of her saggy breasts. Mai Titi is known for controversy and her appetite for brewing comedic impossible imaginary stuff for the purposes of remaining relevant to

By Hannock Ngaru   If there is any artist I would recall from the dead back to life, it would be Sam Mtukudzi, son to Zimbabwe's legendary Superstar, the late Oliver Mtukudzi. I remember, Sam as an artist who propelled me into the media industry as we were just a little at par in terms of age. That day I wanted to do an interview with him, I submitted him in my schedule diary in our newsroom which was located in Belvedere, Harare, Zimbabwe's Primate City. Sam was in Norton: a domitory City that detached from Harare and I had given him a call the day before and so all was set for our meeting. It was an exciting day of my life as I loaded myself with every journalistic armament all ready for my first biggest interview way back in 2006. I liked the hectic atmosphere that came with boarding public transport at Coppercabaurner rank to Norton. Well, ZUPCO was available and I went right ahead to Norton to meet Sam who I was communicating with along the way and I listened attentively t

  It's actually pouring rain in Cape Town as Winter is wet, humid, windy and dark with power cut woes worsening the situation in South Africa's Legislative Capital. Temperatures have fallen drastically to around 13°C with locals not only needing to walk around with heavy jerseys but with umbrellas as well if it's not windy. In a city such as Cape Town it is very difficulty to stay in one place but business is commencing even in the middle of the night as electricity has become a precious treasure to utilize when it's available. It's actually best to work with the meteorogical office and ESKOM schedule to be in sync with their patterns so that one is in uniformity with what will be happening. Uber, In drive and etc are normally busy in this wet, dark and windy, Winter as thieves are also operating, so boarding taxis saves a lot. The current showers are expected to approximately persist till Sunday stretching into next week with low temperatures and darkness accompany

  Marvelous Nakamba was a stone that was rejected by Unai Emery who was the new manager for Aston Villa in the hope of beefing up his squad, little did he know that by offloading the Zimbabwe Warriors talisman mid - fielder, he would actually beef up Luton Town squad his next headache in the English Premiership League 23/24 season. It turned out to be the rejected stone becoming the corner of the building as Nakamba's penalty conversion became the stepping stone for Luton Town during the weekend in their triumph over Coventry City in a Sky Bet Championship Play - Off final. The Zimbabwean mid - fielder is actually the man of the moment as he is trending and topical not only in England but in his country Zimbabwe as well. He is a marksman that even the great Brazilian gun man, Neymar praised for his accuracy in marking the ball. Luton Town's qualification into the 23/24 season actually means Nakamba will rub shoulders with his former teammates and will be out there to prove Emer

It does not need a doctor of Economics to advise that South Africa's economy needs attention as it is too visible for even a layman can comment and recommend solutions. Factor number 1 that has affected SA's economy is the electricity crisis that has exhibited a more visible harm to business than anything else. The electricity crisis has inhibited the construction industry in a big way as substitution of  electricity with generators is expensive and it has led to massive job cuts leading to an increase to unemployment figures. Other industries that heavily depend on electricity have also been hit hard especially the technology sector and security sector. Factor number 2 that has made an impact on the SA economy was the printing of new money even though authorities have argued that it is in sync with international standards it is clear that putting or printing new notes spirals inflation. The Rand is slowly losing value against the Greenback which definitely does not look good f

South Africa is set to plunge more into dark Winter as ESKOM introduced stage 5 this week highlighting that electricity is set to be switched off between 4pm to 5 am commencing today onwards. Media reports quoted Julius Malema the leader of South Africa's third biggest party Economic Freedom Fighters, saying the grid is likely going to collapse which may cause total darkness thereby likely to instill a revolution in the Southern African country. However, the new Minister of Electricity, Kgosientso Ramokgopa argued that South Africa will improve on its electricity generation and is likely to be on a better position in December. Ramokgopa said the country will import 4000 Megawatts from Mozambique and internally generate 2000 (MGW). Malema argued that the government was not maintaining it's existing grids and also pointed out on corruption as a major draw back. Inspite, of this electricity crisis the format ESKOM has implemented on loadshedding is at least better as it is now out

  With Henry D. Magodo          “What is faith? It is the confidence, assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.”Heb 11:1 (NLT). “faith is the confidence, assurance.”  This is a state of being fully convinced, this is when satisfaction comes to its totality that nothing will change your mind no matter what may even happen if somebody point at you with a gun and being fully convinced in your spirit no one can change it. This goes far beyond hope and trust. The scripture says again “the evidence of things we cannot see yet” this is a state were you totally know that the thing you want is yours and you don’t need someone to tell you because you already know that you have it. On the other hand, at this moment you don’t need a prophet to give you a prophecy about it because you are fully aware that it belongs to you. These are moments when the spiritual man receives the message of faith and embrace it fully. The highest level of faith

 Columnist: Hannock Ngaru Welcome to the second edition of The Gaze Magazine, the Religion column: which we will continue to flight hoping it will enlighten you, the reader on different aspects about religion that we will expose. Today I will talk about a topic that religious strongholds in Jesus' day found hard to embrace or comprehend which is the Truth and I will juxatapose it with this contemporary era. Jesus said, "I am ...the truth" (John 14.6) this was a simple statement which learned men of his time like the Pharisee and Sadducees found hard to grasp. The Master was saying that he was the answer that they were looking for but these hot headed men did not get it they fought Jesus till they killed him because he just talked the Truth and he was it's personification. The Truth that Jesus was during that time was forgiving sins and freeing people who were under the yoke of deception as examplified in my previous article last week on the healing of the paraplegic,
