Harare City Council paramedics are running a scam, pocketing ambulance fees from patients and then submitting fake receipts to the city for the balance. These crews, exploiting desperate people in medical emergencies, convince patients to pay a partial fee without a receipt, then invent names and addresses for phantom debts the council later chases. This scheme is tanking municipal revenue, dropping monthly ambulance income from around twenty thousand U.S. dollars to under fifteen hundred.
Multiple residents, like families in Waterfalls and Glen View, have been hounded for payments for services they never received or already partially paid. In one case, a woman trying to settle a remaining balance was told her receipt was counterfeit...
The government is launching a major holiday crackdown on dangerous driving, promising to offload passengers from packed buses and tow any vehicle with defects or missing paperwork. The Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe is leading the push, deploying more patrol teams and new tech like smart enforcement vehicles and breathalysers to cut down on road deaths. TSCZ head Munesu Munodawafa confirmed the campaign involves the Transport Ministry and the Zimbabwe Republic Police, with extra officers from vehicle inspection units.
Enforcement will be aggressive, with no exceptions for overloading or faulty documentation. Authorities will check for valid insurance, roadworthiness certificates, and compliance with road administration and...
The President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa called for a national grind, telling citizens they all need to pitch in for the country's development plan. He made these comments during a funeral service for a retired Brigadier General named Mark Charles Chimwaza, who passed away from lung cancer at his house in Kuwadzana, Harare. The President stated the National Development Strategy 2, which is the country's five-year economic blueprint, requires everyone's hard work and a unified direction.
He argued that the same collective effort used during the liberation war should now be applied to transforming the economy and society. The President framed the next half-decade as a key phase for reaching something called Vision 2030, which aims for...
A maternity ward in Zimbabwe at Masvingo Provincial Hospital just had seven nurses dragged into a disciplinary hearing for shaking down pregnant patients. These nurses, reportedly connected to some high-level Zanu PF officials and local medical bigwigs, were demanding fifty bucks in U.S. currency from women in labor just to do their basic jobs. The hospital big shots, like Superintendent Noel Zulu and Provincial Nursing Officer Cresencia Maphosa, ran the hearings, where the accused nurses basically copped to everything, saying the whole bribe scheme was standard practice for years.
The story gets darker. They mentioned a case from Gwanda Provincial Hospital where a woman named Molline Madziyire from Beitbridge allegedly died after not...
Zadar was the only major city in Dalmatia to record growth in tourism during November, according to data from the eVisitor system. While most regional hubs saw their numbers decline during the month, Zadar registered 45,828 overnight stays, which is a 1.36% increase compared to the previous year. Although total arrivals for November were slightly down at 18,500—a dip of nearly 7%—the rise in overnight stays indicates that visitors are choosing to spend more time in the city during the late autumn season.
The overall performance for 2025 remains strong, with Zadar County reporting a 1% increase in both arrivals and overnight stays from the start of the year through mid-December. Most other large Dalmatian cities experienced growth...
Zagreb has experienced a massive surge in winter tourism recently, with local hotels reaching eighty percent capacity. During the initial weeks of the festivities, occupancy rates for accommodation in the capital even climbed above ninety percent. Officials expect the roughly one hundred forty stalls selling gifts and food to generate around half a million euros in total earnings. Global publications like Forbes and National Geographic have highlighted the city as a top seasonal destination. The local tourist board and Croatia Airlines have teamed up to offer special travel packages for visitors coming from cities such as Sarajevo, Dubrovnik, and Skopje.

HŽ Infrastruktura has finalized a massive plan to link central Zagreb directly to the airport using a high-speed railway and a new underground tunnel. According to a detailed report from officials, the project involves a six-kilometer line starting from the Odra interchange and ending at a brand new station beneath the passenger terminal. The most complex part of the work includes a 2.8-kilometer tunnel that will pass under the Velika Mlaka area to avoid disrupting local traffic. This infrastructure upgrade is intended to slash travel times to the city center down to just a few minutes while adding two dedicated stations at the airport site.
The analyst noted that this construction is part of a larger strategy to overhaul the national...
Blaž Pezo, the Dubrovnik-Neretva County Prefect, recently confirmed that local citizens will have the final say on the path of a new expressway to the airport. While the project aims to cut down travel times during the busy summer months, it has faced pushback from residents worried about the environmental and social impact. Pezo mentioned that officials from Croatian Roads have been meeting with engineers to address these concerns. He claimed that a new state law will help speed up the paperwork once everyone agrees on a specific route. The leader emphasized that the regional view and public opinion are mandatory parts of the planning process.
The southernmost area of Konavle has already settled on its portion of the road, but other...
Blakk Rasta recently claimed that Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, the woman better known as Nana Agradaa, has started a new religious group while locked up at Nsawam Prison. The media personality visited the facility and heard from both workers and inmates that the former priestess turned evangelist is already leading services. According to his report, she spends her time preaching and speaking in tongues to other women in the cell block every weekend. This development comes after an Accra Circuit Court handed her a fifteen-year sentence for running a scam involving fake money-doubling ads. The radio host noted that her presence behind bars has caused a massive spike in people visiting the jail.
The broadcaster mentioned that many outsiders...
