ZIM GOVT WEBSITE UNEDITED

BULAWAYO- The Zimbabwe government's website does not tell the world of the existence of a new political dispensation in the mould of a government of national unity.

The homepage of site that was last updated on 18 November 2008 has Executive President Robert Mugabe's potrait sandwiched by those of his two deputies Joseph Musika and Joyce Mujuru.

An updated site would have Mugabe flanked by two Prime Ministers; Morgan Tsvangirai and Arthur Mutambara. Below each of them would be their deputies. The revised site would have restructured cabinet posts.

The site is very slow in opening while pictures that were fortunate to be loaded take ages to load. Below the banner Deputy Minister of Education, Sports and Culture is a picture of a female teacher and her students.

Through the country's site, the world still identifies Aeneas Chigwedere with the ministry of Education, Sport and Culture. Chigwedere is remembered for attracting controversy and criticism as minister for suggesting that all students should wear one uniform; for attempting to rename schools that still bear colonial names, and for pushing an act that empowers him to regulate the fees charged by government and private schools. He claimed some of his suggestions were attempts to dampen the effects of hyperinflation on the education system.

Chigwedere upheld a primary school headmaster's decision to expel a 7-year old Rastafarian boy because he felt that the boy's dreadlocks did not conform to the school dress code. The decision was overturned by the Supreme Court.
