The Kenyan men's national soccer squad is set to face Zimbabwe in a crucial 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match in South Africa. Like its rivals Kenya, Zimbabwe doesn't have a certified stadium right now, so it had to move the game to South Africa.
Kenya is in a tough situation. They need other results to go their way if they want to make it to the big tournament in Morocco. It's not all in their hands. The Zimbabwe Football Federation, or ZIFA for short, just released the ticket prices for the upcoming clash with Kenya on November 15th.
So mark your calendars! Zimbabwe and Kenya's national team, known as the Harambee Stars, are set to have an exciting showdown on Friday night. You won't want to miss an important Africa Cup of...
The Bulawayo City Council took action on Sunday night. They seized several vehicles in the city's western suburbs, including Emganwini, Nketa, and Nkulumane cars. The vehicles were not parked in the right spots overnight. Some were outside car parks, and others were at shopping centers and gas stations. The city wanted to send a clear message: Everyone needs to follow parking rules.
The Deputy Mayor, Councillor Edwin Ndlovu, spoke about the operation. He said it's about making people follow the rules. These rules have been around for a long time. They're called by-laws. The by-laws say where you can and can't park your car overnight. If you park in the wrong spot, your car might disappear. That's what happened on Sunday night. The city...
The big match-fixing case between Karoi United and Scottland FC must wait a few more days. The hearing will now happen on November 19th instead of today. Why the delay? The Northern Region Soccer League boss, Martin Kweza, didn't send some key paperwork to ZIFA, Zimbabwe's main soccer body. ZIFA needs these records to move forward. ZIFA's top official, Yvonne Mapika Manwa, has told Kweza to hand over the papers today. But here's the catch - if Kweza doesn't send them, the hearing will still go ahead anyway.
Reuben Marumahoko, the former Mashonaland West Minister of State, was arrested on Monday due to fraud allegations. He spent the night in custody after Magistrate Mrs Nyasha Marufu remanded him for a bail application ruling tomorrow. The court agreed with the prosecution to defer the verdict because Marumahoko could be a flight risk and might interfere with witnesses.
It was also considered that he took time to hand himself over to the police after they wanted to interview him. Marumahoko's wife, Andy Maririmba, was arrested on Saturday for similar allegations. He allegedly applied for and received inputs from the Government's Agricultural and Rural Development Authority's (ARDA) commercial farmers' joint venture program to plant 200ha...
There has been much confusion and disorganization in Harare regarding the giving out of permits for building service stations and cluster houses. Councillor Takudzwa Dzumbunu, in charge of the city's works and town planning, made this surprising announcement on Tuesday. She spoke before the Commission of Inquiry, which was set up to investigate how Harare City Council has been run since 2017.
President Mnangagwa appointed the commission in May. It comprises five people and is led by Justice Maphios Cheda, a retired judge. The commission investigates how the city is governed, how money is handled, and how things are generally run.
Cllr Dzumbunu told the commission that cluster houses are popping up everywhere, but sometimes, they're...
The rainy season has caused problems for residents in Bulawayo. Heavy downpours have damaged homes and vehicles in the last three days. The Bulawayo Fire Brigade has identified 14 areas in 10 suburbs likely to flood and chosen safe places for residents to go in an emergency. The Fire Brigade is getting ready for the worst.
The Meteorological Services Department warned on Sunday that heavy rains, thunderstorms, hailstorms, lightning, and wind gusts would occur in the country's southern parts. The heavy rains started on Monday evening.
The Bulawayo Fire Brigade helped residents in several suburbs who were in trouble because of flash floods. Their homes were partly underwater. In Mahatshula North, the fire brigade helped six homeowners...
In a surprising turn of events, James Chigwende, the CEO of Dorowa Minerals, has found himself in legal trouble. He is accused of forging a contract document and now faces charges in court. Magistrate Dennis Mangosi granted Chigwende bail for US$300 but ordered him to stay away from Chemplex Cooperation offices for two weeks. This is to give the State time to record witness statements at his workplace.
The story began on February 20 when Courage Katiyo, the Director of Coursim Investments, started a 90-day fix-and-supply contract with Dorowa Minerals, Murambinda. This was done through Chemplex (Pvt) Ltd, the parent company of Dorowa Minerals. The contract was for building a greenhouse shade at Dorowa Minerals, and Katiyo was supposed...
Zimbabwe has reported new cholera cases just months after they said a previous outbreak ended. That outbreak was really bad. It killed over 700 people in 18 months.
Now, there's a new cholera outbreak in Kariba District. Twenty-one people have gotten sick, and one person died.
A doctor named Godfrey Muza works for the government in Kariba. He said they're trying to control the situation.
Another doctor, Norman Matara, is part of a Zimbabwe Doctors for Human Rights group. He thinks the government needs to fix the problems that cause diseases like cholera to spread through water.
In August, the government said the big 18-month outbreak was finally over. It had made almost 35,000 people sick and killed more than 700.
Sadly, this isn't...
Moses Chunga, a Zimbabwean football legend, has shared his thoughts on the new rules for becoming the chairperson of the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA). ZIFA now says that candidates must have passed at least five Ordinary Level (O-Level) exams. Chunga doesn't think it's fair to call footballers who don't meet this rule "madofo." Madofo is a mean word in the Shona language that suggests someone is dumb or slow.
Chunga says that many footballers and former footballers don't have five O-Level passes. But this isn't because they're not smart. Teenagers had to choose between focusing on football or attending school. Many young players chose to put their time and energy into becoming professional footballers, which often meant they...
