Kelvin Kaindu just wrapped the wildest coaching year after bouncing from Highlanders to Dynamos mid-season and somehow pulling off a cup win. The guy started with Bosso but ditched them when things got messy, and everyone figured his career was cooked. Instead, he kept Dynamos from getting relegated on the final matchday with a draw against FC Platinum, then beat Triangle United to snag the Chibuku Super Cup and a Confederation Cup spot.
His contract is running out, and Simba Bhora, plus some other teams, are already sniffing around. Kaindu admitted the off-season will be chaotic with coaching vacancies opening up all over the place, but he said God guided his controversial club switch, and it worked out even though Dynamos finished...
Chicken Inn is riding high after three of their players made the Warriors provisional squad for the Afcon camp. Captain Xolani Ndlovu, vice-captain Donovan Bernard, and midfielder Joseph Tulani got the nod alongside other home-based talent like Andrew Mbeba, Washington Navaya, and Kevin Moyo. Club spokesperson Nkululeko Nkala said the call-ups validate their program and wished the trio luck in securing spots on the final 23-man roster for Morocco.
Meanwhile, the draw for the Caf Under-17 Girls tournament dropped, and Zimbabwe will host the event with Mpopoma Sports Academy representing the nation. Eight academies from Southern Africa will compete at Ngoni Stadium in Norton. The tournament aims to give young female players proper...
Chief Mtshane Khumalo shut down claims that traditional leaders were asking for crazy money and gear to help with the Gukurahundi hearings. The National Chiefs Council president said if any chief actually had welfare complaints, they know the proper channels to use, and running to reporters is not one of them. Private media outlets had alleged that chiefs wanted monthly payments of up to 4000 dollars, Starlink kits, and tons of fuel vouchers.
The hearings that President Mnangagwa started have collected almost 10,000 submissions from Matabeleland provinces, with 70 chiefs participating in the online platform. Women made up about 60 percent of the total submissions, and the two Matabeleland regions contributed roughly equal numbers...
ZITF Company is gearing up for another packed calendar after launching three fresh shows this year: a livestock thing, an education expo, and a climate-focused business event. The organization runs the biggest trade shows in Zimbabwe from its Bulawayo base, and marketing guy Thandolwenkosi Nkomo says they want to build on what they started while keeping their flagship events relevant.
The main annual showcase happened in April with an industrialization theme, and it pulled in businesses and government people from across Southern Africa and beyond. ZITF has basically grown from a local fair into something that gets attention from Asia, Europe, and the Americas, giving companies a chance to network and cut deals that could help the economy.
The Zimbabwe National Army just graduated 174 new soldiers after they wrapped up three months of training at a base in Bulawayo, and the group was mostly women at 96 compared to 78 guys. Two people out of the original 176 recruits bailed before finishing the program that covered everything from shooting and map navigation to first aid and military law.
The ceremony got overseen by a major general who told the fresh graduates they had better stay disciplined since they represent a force that has deployed to help out in Mozambique, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. He reminded them that their job is protecting the country's borders while following the constitution, and that the army does not mess around when it comes to...
Some legal expert dropped a whole essay about how families fall apart after parents die without making a plan, and the main fix is setting up a trust through a notary who can register it officially. The piece walks through a scenario where four kids inherit a house and a small business but end up fighting over who pays bills versus who collects rent, eventually selling everything just to split the cash and bail on each other.
Trusts basically let someone appoint managers called trustees who handle property for beneficiaries according to written rules that prevent chaos and protect assets from divorces or bad decisions. The document gets registered at the Deeds Office in Zimbabwe and can cover anything from one house to massive...
Clothing makers and retailers are begging the government to pump the brakes on a massive tariff hike for imported fabric until researchers finish studying the whole cotton industry situation. Finance officials want to jack up duties from 10 percent to 40 percent plus an extra charge per kilogram, but people running garment factories say local mills cannot pump out enough variety or quality to meet what shoppers actually want to buy.
The clothing association boss pointed out that slapping huge taxes on fabric treats it like a finished product when it actually feeds into making clothes, and the retail chain executive warned that this move will just push prices up while smugglers cash in. One agriculture specialist said the government...
The ruling party candidate running for a Bulawayo seat is blasting the opposition for allegedly ghosting constituents after getting elected and letting basic services fall apart over the past twenty years. The guy promises to drill new boreholes with solar power, fix the broken street lighting that he says enables crime, and build a youth center if he wins the December vote that got triggered when the previous legislator died in a car crash back in October.
He said neighborhoods like Sekusile have been drowning in garbage for months because nobody picks it up anymore, and he wants to set up community watch groups with better equipment to handle drug dealers. The candidate claims he will run a non-partisan operation by working with...
A woman from Mufakose got diagnosed with kidney failure after taking medical tests for a cruise ship gig she ended up not getting, and her younger brother ended up donating one of his organs to save her life. The 32-year-old patient needed dialysis sessions multiple times per week while her family launched a fundraising campaign that pulled in 25 grand from people online after her kid made an emotional appeal on social media.
Her 20-year-old sibling volunteered to be the donor after their parents got disqualified despite having matching blood types, and the whole crew flew to India for the procedure. The surgery went fine, and both of them made it back home while their mom urged other families dealing with similar health problems to...
