A civic organization leader has declined participation in a legal challenge that allegedly aimed to create judicial cover for extending presidential term limits. Mbuso Fuzwayo, who leads Ibhetshu Likazulu, confirmed that attorney Nqobani Sithole contacted him on behalf of Sengezo Tshabangu to file a Constitutional Court case against the 2030 agenda seeking to prolong President Emmerson Mnangagwa's time in office.
Journalist Hopewell Chin'ono disclosed the details after speaking with Fuzwayo, who said he later realized the application was structured to fail deliberately. This would establish legal precedent supporting the presidential extension despite constitutional barriers. Fuzwayo withdrew his involvement after understanding the...
A religious leader has spoken out against criticism directed at several wealthy businessmen linked to the ruling party, praising their charitable work and economic contributions. Reverend Dr Obediah Musindo, who heads the Destiny of Africa Network, defended figures such as Kudakwashe Tagwirei, Scott Sakupwanya, Paul Tungwarara, and Sir Wicknell Chivhayo during remarks to church affiliates and staff over the weekend.
Musindo told more than 200 attendees that these donors have provided meaningful support to ZANU-PF operations and helped improve conditions for citizens previously living in difficult circumstances. He noted that while numerous entrepreneurs have secured government contracts, relatively few have channeled resources back...
Zimbabwe's government plans to convert the recently acquired Monomotapa Crowne Plaza into accommodation for lawmakers, Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube announced on Wednesday during a budget planning session in Bulawayo. The 182-bed property in downtown Harare was purchased in August through the public service pension fund from African Sun. Officials say the arrangement will cut lodging expenses that previously went to private establishments when legislators attend parliamentary business and national gatherings.
Ncube indicated the facility will generate income for the pension fund by accepting paying guests when rooms remain available. He told parliamentarians that officials will develop a management plan allowing the property to support...
A Zimbabwean opposition figure has sparked debate after stating the nation's constitution no longer merits protection, a position critics say abandons the foundation of democratic resistance. Nelson Chamisa recently posted on social media that citizens should prioritize defending their country rather than its governing document. However, commentators argue this stance surrenders hard-won democratic gains achieved through decades of activism.
The 2013 constitution emerged from extensive citizen participation during a unity government period between the Movement for Democratic Change and Zanu PF. Voters endorsed the document by large margins, making it the first democratic charter in national history. President Emmerson Mnangagwa has...

A business owner from Nigeria who invests in the United States has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to defend legitimate property ownership and tackle deteriorating financial conditions with stronger leadership. Stella Ifeoma Okengwu leads WINHOMES Global Services Ltd. and says thousands of citizens living abroad want fairness rather than extraordinary solutions. She contends the administration must rebuild trust by preventing abuse against investors who follow legal requirements.
Her statement centers on claims that authorities demolished the $250 million WINHOMES Estate near Okun Ajah in Lagos for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway without proper procedures. Foreign investors funded the complex, and Okengwu argues destruction...
Nigerian traders are shifting capital toward index markets as a strategy to reduce portfolio volatility and gain exposure to international equities without researching individual corporations. These instruments track baskets of shares from major economies like the S&P 500 or FTSE 100, allowing participants to speculate on collective performance rather than single companies. The approach has gained momentum this year because indices distribute risk across multiple firms and insulate investors from domestic currency swings and policy uncertainty.
Platforms offering contracts for difference and exchange-traded funds have simplified access for local traders who previously focused on foreign exchange pairs. A Lagos investor who...

Japanese development officials teamed up with Nigerian agriculture leaders to teach farmers from two southwestern states about aquaponics, a method combining fish farming with vegetable cultivation in water-efficient closed systems. The Japan International Cooperation Agency and Kakehashi Africa Nigeria Initiative held the two-day workshop in Ibadan alongside the Oyo State Agribusiness Development Agency, showing participants how to build and operate facilities that recycle nutrients between fish tanks and plant beds.
Umar Alilu, a senior program officer at the Japanese agency's Nigeria office, said waste from fish provides fertilizer for crops while vegetation cleans water before sending it back to aquatic animals. The approach...
