A famous boxer must pay a bank manager US$18,000 for sleeping with his wife. Charles Manyuchi, who won many boxing titles, had an affair with Chengeto Viola Munyaka at his gym in Masvingo.
Tapiwa Munyaka found out about his wife's affair when he looked at her phone in 2021. He saw pictures of her with Manyuchi. The court papers say the wife got pregnant and had an abortion.
The story turns sad because Munyaka trusted Manyuchi. He took his wife to the boxer's gym to train. He even let her help advertise Manyuchi's boxing matches. The group went to nice places like Kariba to celebrate when Manyuchi won fights.
Munyaka told the court the affair hurt him badly. He says he lost his pride and worried about diseases since they did not have...
A singer got in big trouble over something she wrote online. Kikky Badass, who makes Zim hip-hop music, must pay US$18,000 to lawyer Rodney Makausi.
The problem started in March 2023. Kikky wrote on Instagram that Makausi asked her for sex. She told this to her 235,000 followers. Makausi said this was not true and asked for US$500,000 in court.
Kikky made things worse by not going to court when she needed to. She kept the post up even after people asked her to take it down. She tried to say the court couldn't make her pay in US dollars, but the judge disagreed.
Makausi later asked for less money—US$60,000 instead of US$500,000. The court said he should get US$18,000. He told the court that Kikky's words hurt him a lot. He is a church...
Gift Banda went to court about a fake school paper. The court let him go after he paid US$500. He must stay at his home and not bother anyone about the case until January 3.
The court day had funny parts. Banda came in looking happy in nice clothes. The judge got upset when she saw him in chains. She told guards to take them off since Banda came to the police by himself.
Banda used to help run soccer in Zimbabwe and was also a leader in Bulawayo. His lawyer, Everson Chatambudza, says Banda did nothing wrong. The lawyer told the court that Banda takes care of nine children and owns many things, so he won't run away.
The police say Banda made up fake test results from 1986. They say he used test numbers that belong to someone named...
Zimbabwe plans to buy new cancer machines fast. PRAZ, the group that checks buying plans, said yes to this quick purchase. The money comes from taxes on sugar, which has brought in US$18 million.
Health Minister Dr Douglas Mombeshora shared good news. His team asked cancer doctors what machines they need most. They can now buy these machines in just five days instead of waiting long. They want to finish buying before this year ends.
Zimbabwe has two places that treat cancer right now. These are at Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare and Mpilo Hospital in Bulawayo. The old machines there kept breaking down. The government fixed them, but they need more machines.
The health team has big plans. They want to add more machines at the two main...
Harare city leaders face new trouble over housing plots. People say these leaders took fancy house plots for themselves in rich areas. This breaks the rules.
This started happening after Mr. Fani Machipisa died. He ran the housing office and had stopped leaders from taking plots wrongly.
The government has clear rules. City leaders can only get plots in the areas they serve. If their area has no space, they can pick a spot next door. But many leaders took land in rich places like Borrowdale and Mt Pleasant instead.
Some people inside the city offices say only friends of Mayor Jacob Mafume get the best plots. This makes other leaders angry. But finding plots in north Harare is hard because private people own most of that land.

A man from Plumtree has asked Prophet Shepherd Bushiri to punish two church members. The man, Mr. Chiwawa, says his heart is broken. He tells a story about his wife and another man from their church.
Chiwawa says a church leader named Kagande had a secret love affair with his wife. He married his wife in 2022 after living with her since 2010. But he says she started seeing Kagande right after their wedding.
Chiwawa found out about this when he tried to help Kagande move to the UK. His wife told their local church pastor, Samuriwo, about what happened. But Chiwawa feels sad because the church did nothing about it.
He says his wife met with Kagande many times when he was away at work. This has hurt their marriage very badly.
The court has let Neville Mutsvangwa go free. This happened after he asked the court to stop making him come back again and again. His friends Ellis Majachani and Simbarashe Tichingana also got free.
These three men had been in trouble with the law. People said they dealt with money in wrong ways. Their lawyer, Oliver Marwa, told the court that waiting for their trial took too long. The court agreed.
The state kept changing its plans about their case. First, they set a date for the trial. Then they wanted to move the case to a bigger court. Magistrate Apollonia Marutya said this waiting was not fair. She told the state they must send papers to call these men back only when ready for a real trial.
The state says these men did wrong...
Many people want to be the money boss at Harare City Council. A total of 43 people asked for this big job. The city has not had a real finance director since 2015.
Right Mr. Godfrey Kusangaya fills this role for short times. The city just gave him another year to keep working. But some people say he paid bribes to get this job. The city's mayor says this makes no sense because Kusangaya does not even want the full-time job.
The last real finance director was Mr. Stanley Kwenda. He left his job in 2015. He had many fights with the city leaders. Last year, they agreed on how much money to give him to leave.
Mayor Jacob Mafume talked about this at a big meeting yesterday. He felt surprised that so many people want this job. He told...
A man named Isaac Matinyarare took someone's car in Chiredzi. The car's owner, Phillip Mafuta, says Matinyarare grabbed his silver Nissan Sulphy Bluebird. Mafuta told The Mirror that Matinyarare took the car because of money he owed. He also took important car papers and keys.
The stories from both men differ a lot. Mafuta says he only owed US$60. But Matinyarare, who lives at 85 B Curve in Chiredzi, claims Mafuta owed him US$1,000. Matinyarare said he would show proof with signed papers, but he has not shared them yet.
The police have not looked into this case yet. Acting Police Spokesperson Masauso Patinyu needs time to check the facts. People say Matinyarare has taken other cars too. These cars sit at the Chiredzi Police Station...
