A gang of robbers in Bindura has been caught and punished. Three men who committed armed robberies will serve 38 years in jail. The robbers were Ladma Mutesa, Tapiwa Nyakudya, and Sande Saini. They are all in their 30s.
The men broke into homes and stole things from people in Nyakudya Mazarura Village. They worked with three other men who hadn't been caught yet. The gang first struck on April 21, 2024. They broke into a house at night using iron bars while six people were sleeping inside.
The robbers were mean to the people in the house. They tied up their victims with wire and took their phones. They also stole food, house items, and $350 in cash.
The very next night, they hit another house in the same village. This time, they...
The life of a young Zimbabwean man named Saymore was cut short in a tragic stabbing incident in Leeds, England. The 23-year-old was attacked around midnight on Tuesday in a ground-floor flat in the Belle Isle area of the city. Despite the efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to the hospital.
Police believe three males were responsible for the attack and fled the scene. A search led to the arrest of two suspects, aged 18 and 16, in the nearby Middleton area. They were initially arrested on drug-related charges but were later taken into custody as suspects in the murder investigation.
The West Yorkshire Police Homicide and Major Enquiry Team is leading the investigation and working to support Saymore's...
In a groundbreaking decision, the Zimbabwe High Court struck down a controversial law that allowed immigration officials to hold foreign suspects for up to two weeks without any court oversight. Justice Christopher Dube-Banda ruled on November 12, 2024, declaring that section 8(1) of the Immigration Act goes against the country's Constitution. The judge said this law takes away people's basic rights, like freedom, dignity, and liberty.
Tatenda Chakabva, who lives in Harare, brought the case to court with help from the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR). He argued that the law let officials lock people up whenever they wanted, which goes against Zimbabwe's Constitution and international agreements that the country has signed onto...
Nick Mangwana, the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services, has warned The Mirror, a local newspaper in Masvingo, that it will face consequences soon. The Mirror wrote an article saying ZANU PF helped Zimbabweans vote in Mozambique's disputed elections on October 9. Mangwana said the newspaper broke the law a lot and was irresponsible. He said in The Herald that ZANU PF doesn't get involved in political things in other countries. He said the party sometimes sends officials to the region for meetings, but this doesn't mean they help rig elections.
Things got worse after people from Masvingo were seen on camera saying they voted in Mozambique's elections. This made people think Zimbabwean...
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...
