Xolani Maphanga from Moja Love broke his left leg and almost drowned after falling into his pool while doing chores at home. A neighbor spotted him struggling to stay above water with his busted leg and called paramedics before things got worse.
The X Repo host got surgery and has another one scheduled to put steel in his foot, with doctors saying he might head home soon, but recovery is basically a coin flip. The show is on pause for about nine weeks while he heals.
Maphanga said he wants to get back to work even if he has to use crutches because helping people matters more than his own situation, and he doesn't get why the accident happened at home instead of on set.
Tinashe Mutarisi shut down Nash TV after his music business totally wrecked the reputation he built as a young entrepreneur from Hwedza who sits on the BancABC board. The guy told Misred that Google searches for his name bring up beef with Ndunge Yut over unpaid performance fees instead of his actual business wins, and he started the whole music thing during lockdown just to help stranded artists.
He said the artists under his label, like Nisha Ts, Saintfloew, Ninety Six, and Raymer, are ready to go independent with their separate management teams. Mutarisi is bouncing back to his main hustle, running Nash Paints and Nash Holdings, which covers manufacturing and furniture.
Some fans on social media are mad that he built up these...
Zimbabwe's legislature just backed a plan to slap down more tollgates across the country after Speaker Jacob Mudenda spent November telling officials to jack up fees on big trucks. Knowledge Kaitano, who chairs the transport committee, told parliament that drivers keep dodging existing toll points by taking back roads, and the government needs that cash for road maintenance and general revenue.
The committee already has a hit list of routes they want to monetize, like the Bulawayo to Victoria Falls highway and the Harare to Domboshava to Bindura road that truckers use to skip payments. Mudenda previously got super specific about wanting five tollgates on the Hwange route instead of three, plus he kept repeating that they should charge...
Couples can get divorced without fighting in court when they see eye to eye on everything from who keeps the kids to how they split their stuff. The person filing has to prove the marriage is dead, and both sides need to agree on child custody, visitation schedules, monthly support payments, and asset division. A process server has to physically hand the papers to the other spouse, but if nobody knows where they are, you can ask a judge to let you publish the summons in a newspaper instead.
After the divorce papers get delivered, both people sign a consent form laying out their agreement. The person getting divorced files paperwork saying they won't fight it and don't need updates about court dates. The person who started everything...
TelOne fired up its Omni Contact Centre in Harare, and ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera says the facility consolidates customer communications across voice, email, social platforms, mobile apps, and AI chatbots into one system that meshes with Vision 2030 development goals. The government pitched it as job creation infrastructure that builds digital skills while positioning the country as a player in global outsourcing markets.
Mavetera wants the hub to grow beyond basic tech into a full-blown national movement pushing digital transformation across government agencies, businesses, schools, and civic groups. She told TelOne leadership their investment strengthens telecommunications capacity and fits the broader National ICT Strategy...
Magamba Network dropped UKWELI, an African-built toolkit aimed at fighting climate lies that fossil fuel companies and tech giants keep spreading across the continent. The resource launched during an online event pulling together activists, fact-checkers, and journalists from multiple countries, and organizers say it gives communities practical ways to spot manipulation campaigns and debunk fake climate narratives rooted in local knowledge.
The whole thing builds off their Log Off the Lies campaign that exposed coordinated disinformation networks operating throughout Africa. Researchers behind the project say climate falsehoods function as weapons that exploit weak spots in African information systems, and this toolkit flips those...
Zimbabwe's High Court shut down a decades-long corporate name battle by confirming that Balwearie Holdings, registered back in 1977, got legally dissolved in 2020 and can't be brought back from the dead. Justice Joel Mambara ruled the original company lost all legal standing after multiple courts agreed it ceased to exist, and any claims about it still being alive hold zero water. Former directors led by Kurt Louis Heyns tried arguing their old entity survived, but the court sided with Believe Guta's crew running a newer company that grabbed the same name after the dissolution became official.
The judgment pointed out how several judges already confirmed that the 1977 version got wiped out, and the Supreme Court backed that decision...
The Gwanda Anti-Stock-Theft Association threw props to cops and farmers for teaming up against cattle thieves after they got back 21 donkeys swiped from Botswana. GASTA Diaspora chairman Victor Vodloza Sibanda said security got way better this year, but rustlers switched tactics by grabbing huge herds and turning them into meat before anyone notices.
The group wants government backing since livestock matters more than crops across Matabeleland South, and it represents the main wealth source for communities there. GASTA intelligence teams work nonstop, tracking criminals who blend into neighborhoods as regular people.
Cross-border cooperation with Botswana anti-theft units helped shut down smuggling operations along shared boundaries.
Bulawayo mayor David Coltart said sorry to residents after trash pickup got wrecked because the city's four brand-new garbage trucks all went in for service at the same time, while the older ones sat broken in the shop. People who missed collection got told to haul their bags back inside instead of leaving them out for dogs to rip apart, and Coltart admitted some high-density neighborhoods went almost a month without water from busted pumps and power outages.
Council members want littering fines cranked up to match Victoria Falls' $100 penalties since illegal street vendors keep trashing the place, and one councillor pushed for ward-level enforcement squads to handle the mess.
