President Emmerson Mnangagwa's ruling Zanu PF party is up to something big. They're holding meetings all over the country. They want people to support their plan to keep Mnangagwa in office until 2030. That's a long time!
These meetings aren't just about getting support, though. They're also about finding out who's against the idea. That could cause some real trouble in the party.
Mnangagwa's term is supposed to end in 2028. But some people close to the situation say he's secretly backing this campaign. His loyal supporters, like Owen Ncube and Daniel Garwe, are pushing for it.
Not everyone is happy about this, though. Some people in the party who support Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga don't like the idea. They think Chiwenga...
A sneaky Zimbabwean accountant named Edward Mwanandimai is in hot water for stealing a jaw-dropping R17 million from his old job at a Johannesburg non-profit called Education and Training Unit (ETU). He pulled off this crazy heist over six long years! The juicy details came out when the ETU took Mwanandimai to the North Gauteng High Court to try and get their money back.
Even though Mwanandimai is a fancy UK-certified accountant, the ETU says he swiped a ton of cash right under their noses. They only figured it out after he quit in May 2020. At first, Mwanandimai owned up to stealing about R6.8m in September 2020 and even paid it back. But later, the ETU found out he'd actually stolen way more - over R17.1m!
The high court heard that...
In a jaw-dropping turn of events, cops recently nabbed a gang of five bold thieves who've been brazenly stealing fuel from the Feruka pipeline. This shocking crime spree has put the country's infrastructure and economy at serious risk. The startling revelation came out last Friday at a big event where over 40 detectives from all sorts of Criminal Investigations Department (CID) sections got awards for catching some of the most wanted and notorious criminals around.
These brave detectives came from all over the place, like the CID Homicide section that handles the really violent cases, and from cities like Bulawayo, Mwenezi, Norton, and Marondera. But the real heroes of the day were the fearless team from Marondera who managed to take...
The Zanu PF party wants President Mnangagwa to stay in charge until 2030. They say he needs to finish the projects he started to make Zimbabwe a better place. The party had a big meeting to discuss this. They said all the provinces agreed that President Mnangagwa should stay as leader for longer.
Some critical party members, like Cde Tavengwa and Cde Masimirembwa, said President Mnangagwa is doing well. They think he should stay in office past 2028 when he's supposed to stop being president. They say they might have to change the rules to let him stay longer.
Another party leader, Cde Garwe, said everyone at the meeting wanted President Mnangagwa to stay until 2030. He said President Mnangagwa has a vision for the country and needs...
Folks won't believe what's cooking in Bulawayo! Deputy Mayor Edwin Ndlovu is sitting in jail, and boy, is he mad about it! He says the whole thing smells fishy. The cops nabbed him and his buddy, Councillor Mpumelelo Moyo, saying they tried to squeeze $20,000 from some Chinese business folks who wanted to build a cement factory.
The Crazy Arrest Story
Get this - Ndlovu says he was just being a good friend when he got caught up in this mess. The town clerk rang him up about his pal Moyo being in hot water. Like any decent person would do, he rushed to the police station to check on his friend. But surprise, surprise - the anti-corruption cops slapped the cuffs on him too! They didn't even tell him why!
The Plot Thickens
Here's where it...
Big trouble is brewing in the CCC party! Poor Mr. Tshabangu got a nasty shock when he found out his rival got loads of cash from the government. Word on the street says Welshman Ncube hit the jackpot with money from something called the Political Parties Act.
When folks asked Ncube about the money, he played it cool. He didn't say yes, and he didn't say no. But he did brag about being the real deal in CCC. "This money belongs to us - we're the true CCC," he told everyone who would listen.
Things got even spicier when Tshabangu tried to get his hands on that sweet government cash. He wanted to be one of the people who could sign for the money at the bank. But Ncube wasn't having any of that! He shut down Tshabangu's plan faster than...
Jaison Muvevi, the man accused of going on a killing spree, has dropped a bombshell revelation about his personal life. He says he has not one, not two, but three wives who had no idea about each other before he allegedly went on a rampage.
It turns out that Muvevi was living a triple life, with a wife and kids in Zvishavane, another family in Kadoma, and yet another spouse and children in Harare. He claims he did right by all of them, paying the traditional bride price and being a good dad. Somehow, he managed to juggle his three lives without any of his wives catching on.
As a gold miner, Muvevi was often away from home for long stretches, which made it easier for him to pull off his balancing act. He would tell two of his wives he...
The government is cooking up a new plan for how people can own and sell farmland in Zimbabwe. They want to make it easier for farmers to use their land as collateral when they need to borrow money from banks. But there's a catch - if you want to sell your farm or transfer it to someone else, you'll need to get the government's okay first.
The same goes for banks that take over a farm if the owner can't pay back their loan. They'll have to check with the government before they can do anything with the land. And forget about selling your farm to a foreigner - that's not gonna fly under these new rules. The government wants to keep most of the farmland in the hands of Zimbabweans.
Right now, a lot of farmers have these 99-year leases or...
So, get this: the government's cooking up some new rules for TV and radio stations. They want the big shots with lots of channels to show more homegrown stuff. Like, 75 percent of what they play has to be made right here in the country. And if you've got a sports channel, half of what you show better be local teams and games.
But that's not all, folks. Those social media stars who like to livestream big events, they'll have to sign up with the broadcasting watchdogs now. No more freelancing for them.
And here's the kicker: if you want to insure your ride, you better have paid your radio license fee. Yup, the insurance companies won't even look at you unless you're all squared up with the ZBC.
The cable TV guys are in for a shake-up...
