Prosecutor General Loyce Matanda-Moyo visited Victoria Falls Magistrates' Court and pushed for spreading out drug-testing facilities across the country since the current centralized setup keeps creating massive delays that tank prosecutions. She told prosecutors their welfare matters for building a professional operation that actually attracts legal talent instead of losing people to better gigs.
The PG wants courts hitting criminals with sentences harsh enough to scare off potential offenders while protecting communities from serious crime. Prosecutor in Charge Bheki Tshabalala walked her through local issues like caseload pressure and resource gaps that keep the court from running smoothly.
Matanda-Moyo doubled down on making the...
Yvonne Tivatye just got bumped up to official Station Manager at Capitalk 100.4 FM after running the place as acting boss since the summer. She started as Chief Producer before the promotion and earned recognition as Africa Gospel Show Presenter at the CLIMA Africa awards that went down in Johannesburg.
Tivatye hosts The Gospel Greats every week on both Star FM and Capitalk, which basically made her famous in media circles. Outside of radio work, she does MC gigs and runs the Sisters' Keeper ZW podcast, where she tackles family drama topics like sibling beef and blended households on social platforms.
Minister Monica Mutsvangwa hit up Allied Timbers Zimbabwe in Mutare during the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV event and basically said the country needs to stop losing people to violence, especially the digital kind that keeps getting worse. She gave props to the company for building better workplace reporting systems and stressed that preventing abuse needs to become standard business practice instead of an afterthought.
Allied Timbers board chair Keuemetsi Mupandawana told attendees that employees represent the most valuable asset the company has, and threats to their safety tank productivity whether the violence happens at home or online. The board rolled out zero-tolerance policies backed by confidential reporting channels and...
Jaycee Rappadict scored two nominations at the Bulawayo Arts Awards and told everyone that this marks his first recognition from a Zimbabwean ceremony. The rapper landed spots in Outstanding Kwaito/House/Gqom and Outstanding Song of The Year for his track that basically launched his career, and he said the whole thing feels surreal for someone repping Insiza District.
The musician thinks winning would prove that kids from villages can actually make it if they stick with their talent instead of giving up when nobody notices them for years. He framed the nomination as hope for other artists grinding from rural areas who keep trying despite zero recognition.
Promoter Manu Mahaso went on local radio to apologize after South African vocalist MaWhoo's gig at Nexus nightclub turned messy when performer Noluntu J complained about getting mistreated. Mahaso said the drama started because Noluntu and her crew ditched their assigned performer seating to crash VIP tables that paying customers had already bought.
The promoter pointed out that Noluntu never gave him a proper performer contract laying out what extra stuff she wanted for her people, and he thinks she should have handled this privately instead of blasting the venue on social media. Mahaso said his door stays open if she wants to settle things face to face, and he stressed that every show runs on calculated business decisions with...
Kohler got caught lying about privacy features on its Dekoda toilet camera after security researcher Simon Fondrie-Teitler exposed that the company uses basic TLS encryption instead of real end-to-end encryption, as they advertised. The distinction matters because Kohler can fully access customer waste photos on their servers, and the company admitted it feeds this data into AI training algorithms after stripping identifiers.
The device costs $599 upfront plus a mandatory monthly subscription, and customers who bought it thinking their bathroom habits stayed private basically got scammed. Real end-to-end encryption means only the sender and recipient see the data, but TLS just protects stuff while traveling over the internet before...
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman straight-up called r/popular garbage and said the company is killing it off to replace the default feed with AI-powered personalization that actually matches what different users want to see. The feed has been around since 2017, but Huffman says it creates a fake impression of one unified Reddit culture that turns away new people instead of welcoming them.
The platform is testing personalized feeds and bringing back news filters while admitting the whole thing is still an early stage. Starting in March next year, moderators can only run up to five communities with over 100,000 weekly visitors, which targets power mods who currently control dozens of major subreddits.
The company is basically betting that...
Samsung teamed up with Amazon Prime Video, Microsoft Xbox, and Bethesda to turn its TVs into the main spot for everything Falltoo related, and the whole thing launched around Season Two, dropping on Prime Video. The company is giving away the entire first season for free on Samsung TV Plus through Christmas while letting people play Fallout 76: Burning Springs through Xbox Game Pass directly on the Gaming Hub without extra hardware.
The expansion lets players interact with The Ghoul from the show, and Walton Goggins actually voiced the character for the game version. Samsung is running co-branded marketing with Prime Video and pushing this as an anti-fragmentation play where everything happens on one screen instead of bouncing between...
Micron decided to axe the Crucial brand after decades of selling budget RAM and SSDs to regular people because AI companies keep throwing insane money at memory chips. The shift frees up supply for enterprise customers like OpenAI and Microsoft, who apparently need way more high-bandwidth memory modules than any gaming rig could ever use.
PC builders are already getting wrecked by memory shortages, and losing Crucial just makes everything worse since the brand was reliable middle-ground stuff that people actually trusted. CyberPowerPC had to raise prices on gaming systems, Framework stopped selling standalone RAM entirely, and even Raspberry Pi bumped costs up.
Micron will honor warranties and keep shipping products through February...
