Africycle in Zomba just dropped 12 bikes worth K4 million to Faith Organization Shine Relief, and the gear is going straight to kids who have to trek forever to get to class. Suzen Zidana from Shine Relief said the donation showed up at the perfect time because orphans and teen moms they support can finally stop walking ridiculous distances to school. She mentioned one bike runs between 300 and 400 thousand kwacha, which is why they never could have bought them without help.
Benjamin Voss from Africycle said they handed over the bikes because they have a solid thing going with Shine Relief, and they actually gave them 20 bikes before this round. A Form 2 student named Bridget Kenneth said getting to Malindi Secondary School on time...
Destiny College of Leadership and Development Studies in Balaka District handed out degrees and certificates to 203 graduates on Monday, and the main message from speakers was pretty clear: stop waiting around for jobs and start making them instead. Principal Bishop Andrew Mankhanamba told the crowd that the training is built around Malawi's Vision 2063 plan, and he said the whole point is turning students into people who create opportunities rather than chase them. He mentioned job openings are basically nonexistent right now, so graduates need to flip the script.
Dr Joe Bonga from International Christian Youthworks-Africa showed up as the guest of honor and praised the students for sticking it out through their programs. Graduate Ivy...
Anthony Masamba from Malawi's Parliamentary Committee on Health told a bunch of policymakers and health people in Salima that the country needs to stop just talking about women's reproductive rights and actually do something about it. The Mchinji North East rep pointed out that Malawi keeps falling behind on maternal mortality targets and getting reproductive health services to everyone, especially poor communities that get left out the most. He said the country made promises under the Maputo Protocol and regional frameworks, but progress has been weak.
Masamba brought up a recent High Court decision on unsafe abortion, calling it a big moment for the country to deal with the health crisis hitting vulnerable women. He made it clear the...
Promoter Patson Chimbodza managed to book both Jah Prayzah and Winky D for a New Year's Eve face-off at the National Sports Stadium's Hockey Stadium, and people are already calling it the show of the year. The two biggest names in Zimbabwean music have hardcore fan armies that constantly argue online about who's actually number one. Chimbodza says he pulled it off because he's got solid working relationships with both artists, and he thinks the collaboration angle is where the real growth happens.
Both musicians have been packing venues lately. Jah Prayzah recently filled Ellis Park Arena in South Africa and drew another massive crowd at the Harare International Conference Centre, while Winky D has been pulling huge numbers at his gigs...
CDEDI just went off about billions of kwacha getting wasted on the Lumbadzi greenhouse project while the country got basically nothing back for it. Executive Director Sylvester Namiwa dropped receipts about how the previous government dropped USD 5 million on an Israeli company called Inosselia to build greenhouses, but only 16 actual units got finished, even though each one was supposed to cost 100 grand. The government kept throwing money at it with another K2.2 billion and K2.7 billion going into a joint venture, plus USD 25,000 monthly management fees that started getting paid out a few years back.
The organization sent letters to government officials demanding they claw back foreign currency sitting with Inosselia and publish six...

She finished her dish first while he was still working on his meal, but Lungani hyped up her fish anyway and said it tasted fire.

Fans started making jokes about when the hangout would happen and kept posting about how unexpected the pairing felt. The exchange blew up fast with people treating it like confirmed plans instead of just internet banter between two celebrities.
Lynn Forbes showed up to court in Durban and locked eyes with the two brothers accused of murking her son AKA and his friend Tibz outside a restaurant nearly two years back. Siyabonga Gezani and Malusi Dave Ndimande got dragged back from Eswatini after getting nabbed at a rental house in Mbabane, and prosecutors claim one of them was the shooter during the hit.
AKA's mom sat in the public gallery watching the whole thing go down, and she kept staring at the accused throughout the hearing. She posted on Instagram when they got extradited about how the process feels like reliving the nightmare all over again, and she said the only real justice would be having her son come home instead of just going through legal motions.
