A Bulawayo woman received a community service sentence for possessing drugs. Doreen Matongo, thirty-four, was convicted on two counts related to crystal meth and cocaine found at her Makokoba suburb home. The combined street value was over seven thousand dollars.
Prosecutors said police acted on a tip about her house being a drug haven. A search uncovered meth hidden under her bed and cocaine in a jacket pocket. Matongo had previously avoided arrest by hiding after a prior drug case stalled due to paperwork delays.
The magistrate sentenced her to a year in prison, but suspended half of it on condition she completes two hundred ten hours of community service at a local police station. The other six months were suspended for five years.
President Mnangagwa has declared a state of disaster after a crash killed ten people. The accident happened on the Harare to Nyamapanda road when a Honda Fit collided head-on with a truck. All ten occupants of the smaller vehicle died at the scene near Suswe.
Acting Minister Felix Mhona stated the government will provide support for funerals and other needs. Preliminary reports indicate the Honda Fit crossed into the opposite lane. The four people in the haulage truck survived.
Mhona linked the tragedy to illegal transport operations and reckless driving, pledging stricter enforcement of road laws. He called for all road users to exercise greater caution to prevent further loss of life.
A Beitbridge woman had her Toyota Hilux GD6 stolen at gunpoint outside a funeral home. Three armed men approached her and her two sisters as they returned to the vehicle after making burial arrangements for a relative. The suspects, described as medium built, with one wearing a purple shirt, demanded the keys while pointing a pistol.

The thieves drove off with the vehicle, which contained a handbag holding a driver's license, vehicle papers, a Samsung phone, and three thousand rand. Police spokesperson Inspector Chiratidzo Dube confirmed the carjacking occurred in the evening and that an investigation is ongoing. The stolen truck is registered...
A chef in Victoria Falls got busted for filing a fake police report. Elias Ncube, forty-eight, told cops he was robbed of twenty-two hundred dollars, money that was actually part of a communal savings pool. His wife later revealed to detectives that he lost it all on sports betting.
Ncube pleaded guilty to providing false information. He told the court he panicked after losing the group's funds, leading him to invent the robbery story back in December. The case fell apart once his spouse, Angela Chuma, gave investigators the real story.
Sentencing is set for Saturday. The prosecutor noted the report triggered a full investigation before the truth came out. Ncube expressed regret over the incident.
A new timber drying kiln just opened in Gwaai Forest Land, Matabeleland North, marking a step toward rural industrialization. The facility, commissioned with officials like Environment Minister Eveline Ndlovu and Forestry Commission Chairman Mahomed Jassat present, aims to boost local forestry by processing indigenous hardwoods into higher-value products.
Officials stated the kiln allows for proper wood drying, which meets export standards, creates jobs in furniture and construction, and cuts waste. Operated on a cost recovery model, it should be accessible to local entrepreneurs. Matabeleland North Provincial Minister Richard Moyo noted the region's hardwood resources, adding that the kiln's location near Lupane State University will...
A new poll shows most Kenyans think the country is seriously off course. The TIFA survey found sixty-eight percent believe things are headed the wrong way, with only seventeen percent feeling positive. Dissatisfaction is highest in the Mt Kenya region, where eighty-three percent hold a negative view.
Economic pain is the main driver. Big majorities in every area say their household finances have gotten worse since the last election. Mt Kenya and Nairobi report the most severe declines. This gloom even impacts views of the broad-based government, with over half of its own supporters saying the national direction is wrong.
Regional splits are stark. While Northern and Central Rift zones are slightly less pessimistic, negative ratings...
Ruto defended a massive five trillion shilling plan, saying Kenya's old economic model just isn't working anymore. He stated the country needs drastic changes to avoid falling behind, framing the new strategy as a break from six decades of traditional methods. The plan's backbone is two new funds: a National Infrastructure Fund and a Sovereign Wealth Fund, recently approved by the Cabinet.
The government wants to use these funds to move away from heavy borrowing and taxes. Instead, the idea is to attract private money from places like pension funds and development banks. They plan to monetize existing public assets, with every shilling from privatizations going straight into infrastructure projects. This approach aims to pull in up to...
