The Movement for Democratic Change today called on Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube to resign for implementing a tax regime which it said was totalitarian, draconian and fascist.
Ncube announced a two cents per dollar transaction tax on 1 October but it was only gazetted yesterday and came into effect today.
The tax, which is aimed at largely roping in the informal sector, is for transactions of $10 and above but there is a cap of $10 000 for transaction of above $500 000.
The tax was strongly opposed by the nation but President Emmerson Mnangagwa stood behind his Finance Minister.
Prices rocketed, fuel ran out and the exchange rate ran amok.
Exchange rates, however, started falling when Afreximbank guaranteed the exchange rate of the bond note at par with the United States dollar and the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries changed its mind to welcome the tax yesterday and exchange.
The MDC, however, said the statutory instrument that Ncube used to regularise the tax was unconstitutional in two ways.
“Firstly Parliament’s primary law making power cannot be delegated and secondly a statutory instrument cannot repeal an act of parliament neither can it be in opposition of an enabling act,” the MDC said.
“Fundamentally, the creation of a robber state which pick pockets the poor is an evil of the highest order.
“Forcing the suffering masses living in abject poverty to fund lives of the political elites who are the sole reason of economic decay is unbelievable.
That Mthuli resigns forthwith for causing economic chaos.
The new taxes must be reversed unconditionally.
Supply side solutions be employed – that is the sane way to expand fiscal leg room.
National dialogue be initiated in line with President Chamisa’s 5 point plan.
An Emergency Economic Recovery program must be adopted and stop the unpalatable suffering of the Zimbabwean people.
Let the sleeping dogs (MDC) lie!!!

15-Year-Old Gunman Charged With First Degree Attempted Murder In Maryland First Day Of School Shooting!
15-year-old Bobby Gladden brought a bottle of vodka with him on his first day of school this year. He also brought a disassembled shotgun and 21 rounds of ammo.
If you haven’t heard already, Gladden is the teen being held responsible for the school shooting near Baltimore Monday that left a classmate fighting for his life.
Police have charged Robert Wayne Gladden Jr., 15, with attempted first-degree murder and assault in connection with Monday’s shooting at Perry Hall High School in Baltimore County.
Gladden has been charged as an adult, police said. He is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center. Police will hold a news conference Tuesday morning to discuss the case.
Daniel Borowy was shot in his back shortly before 11 a.m. in the school’s cafeteria, court documents said. Eyewitnesses described hearing a sound like a bag of chips popping before realizing that someone was shooting.
Bowery, 17, remains in critical condition.
With heightened security and trauma counselors on hand, Perry Hall restarted its school year Tuesday, the day after a student shot in the cafeteria was left in critical condition and another student was taken into custody as the suspected gunman.
The shooting took place on the first day of classes Monday as several hundred students were in the cafeteria, where the sound of gunfire initially seemed like just another piece of the aural landscape.
Instead, it was gunfire, striking Bowery, who was airlifted to Maryland Shock Trauma Center as classmates and strangers offered prayers for him at impromptu gatherings and across social media. Police said they do not believe the victim was targeted by the shooter.
Witnesses said a school counselor quickly grabbed the shooter and pinned him up against a vending machine. The suspect was taken into custody shortly after the shooting.
Students described a day that suddenly turned chaotic during an early lunch break in the cafeteria of the school, the county’s largest with nearly 2,200 students. Rather than the festive atmosphere of a school community returning after summer break, police helicopters whirred overhead, students dove under cafeteria tables and, as the news spread quickly, distraught parents tried to reach their children, in person or by phone or text message.
Throughout the day, a sense of disbelief pervaded.
Jeremy Knavel, 16, said he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw a student emerge from a bathroom Monday morning, taking a gun out from under his shirt.
Sophomore Nick DiPaula, 15, said he and a friend were talking in the cafeteria when they heard a loud bang and turned to see what it was.
“We just see him with the gun, and he’s aiming it at my table,” DiPaula said.
A school counselor he identified as Jesse Wasmer ran over and tackled the gunman as he and other students hit the floor and another teacher started yelling, “Get out of the building, get out of the building!” DiPaula said.
Wasmer was hailed as a hero by colleagues and across the Internet, where a “Thanks Mr. Wasmer” Facebook page was created. He could not be reached to comment, and school officials declined to discuss details of the incident.
The actions of Wasmer and other teachers in the cafeteria who intervened “were really beyond what anyone can be expected to do,” and “made that situation the best it could have been in such a horrible time,” said Matt Smoot, a science teacher in his fifth year at the school.
Dance said Perry Hall High would be open Tuesday with additional security at the school. The Police Department’s Critical Incident Stress Debriefing team will provide support for students and faculty, Armacost said.
Junior Ryan Brady, 15, said he was several feet away from the shooting victim and saw blood on his shirt. As the counselor was tackling the shooter, his gun went off again, the bullet hitting the ceiling, said Brady, who got under a table to hide.
Police officers were already at the school, standard procedure for the first day of classes. County Executive Kevin Kamenetz said police and school officials responded in “terrific fashion” to the shooting.
Students were escorted to the nearby Perry Hall Shopping Center at the corner of Ebenezer and Belair roads, where parents were instructed to meet them, police said. Hundreds of visibly shaken parents and others gathered at the shopping center as police helicopters hovered overhead.
Thank God that guidance counselor moved so quickly!
* He goes by the nickname SuicidalSmile on Facebook.
* Many of his profile pictures show Gladden taking photos of himself while his long hair covers his face. Gladden also claims to like musicians Marilyn Manson and Slipknot and references notorious mass murderer Charles Manson.
* Gladden’s Facebook page first caused concern yesterday when parents of students at the school noticed Gladden’s last status update read “First day of school, last day of my life. t(~_~t), fu*k the world.” .
* Gladden’s classmates confirmed Tuesday to The Associated Press that the page belonged to the suspected gunman.
* Police told The Associated Press that Gladden came to school armed with a disassembled shotgun and 21 rounds of ammunition. He also reportedly had a bottle of vodka.
* Gladden’s father confirmed his son had been bullied prior to the shooting. However, police have not officially released a motive.
* However, a student identified by the name -dazzleme- said Gladden “isn’t a psycho, or a monster or anything that you may think he is,” adding Gladden didn’t mean to shoot Borowy. “I know Bobby and he isn’t the type of kid to just go and randomly shoot people. He’s the kid that makes you laugh. He was bullied often and I believe that he just could not take it anymore,” -dazzleme- wrote on the Tumblr feed.
Sad, the kid sounds deeply troubled. Our prayers are with Daniel Borowy and his family. We pray he will fully recover.

Only former Israeli President Shimon Peres could pull off something like organizing a friendly football (soccer) match between Israeli and Palestinian children just a week after the latest Gaza war.
And only the Palestinian Authority could be so callous as to condemn such a demonstration of peaceful coexistence.
The game organized by Peres wasn’t between just any groups of Israeli and Palestinian kids. The Israelis came from the rocket-battered town of Sderot, and the Palestinians from Hebron, near to where earlier this summer Hamas terrorists abducted and executed three Jewish teens.
The game marked the start of the current year of the “School of Football and Peace,” a campaign by the Peres Center for Peace that brings together dozens of Israeli and Palestinian children for sports and other extracurricular learning activities.
Israel’s “peace partners” in the Palestinian Authority, however, didn’t seem to feel the same.
“Any activity of normalization in sports with the Zionist enemy is a crime against humanity,” insisted Jibril Rajoub, a senior member of the ruling Fatah faction and head of the Palestinian Supreme Council for Sports and Youth Affairs.
In a post to his Facebook page (which was translated by Palestinian Media Watch), Rajoub said it was official policy to oppose and prevent joint sporting events between Israeli and Palestinian children.
A local Fatah spokesman vowed that the party would “settle the account with these reckless people,” meaning the coach and other organizers who had dared to let Palestinian children commit the heinous crime of playing soccer with Israeli Jews.

Guadalupe, CA, July 23, 2003—A surprising 1,200 applications were handed out by Peoples' Self-Help Housing last week with more requests still coming in for Guadalupe's affordable housing, Riverview Townhomes.
"This is pretty overwhelming," said Roger Barr, of Peoples' Self-Help Housing's rental division. "It's about 3 times more than expected and it really shows the demand and interest in affordable housing in the Guadalupe area-and is also reflective of the need for more affordable housing on the Central Coast," Said Barr.
A lottery process will then determine the order of applications to be reviewed and qualified.
Peoples' Self-Help Housing distributed applications for 80 rental townhomes last weekend at the Riverview Townhomes in Guadalupe. The apartment complex will be completed in the fall, 2003, and the qualified residents will begin moving in at that point.

A Louisiana Taxotere hair loss lawsuit may be an option for chemotherapy patients who took Taxotere and suffered permanent hair loss. Taxotere, a chemotherapy drug used to treat breast, prostate, non-small cell lung cancer, stomach, and head and neck cancers, has been linked to permanent, disfiguring hair loss. Affected patients and their families may be eligible to file a Louisiana Taxotere lawsuit and seek compensation for damages.
Taxotere is a kind of chemotherapy treatment most commonly used to treat breast cancer, head and neck cancer, stomach cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer. The medication may be used on its own or together with other chemotherapeutic drugs to treat specific types and stages of cancer. Taxotere belongs to a class of drugs known as taxanes, chemical compounds originally extracted from the needles of the Pacific yew tree.
Taxotere stops cancer cells from dividing and multiplying, blocking the growth of certain kinds of cancers. Since chemotherapy treatments target all rapidly-forming cells, patients will experience a loss of healthy cells as well as cancerous ones.
In 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued updated safety information noting that cases of permanent hair loss related to the use of Taxotere have been reported.
Loss of hair due to chemotherapy is typically reversible with complete hair regrowth, however, there is increased evidence that certain chemotherapy regimens can cause dose-dependent permanent alopecia (hair loss), according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Miami, Florida. In addition to the Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery’s findings, research presented at the National Cancer Research Institute Conference noted significant hair loss reported by patients who responded to a questionnaire regarding Taxotere and its connection with patient hair loss.
