Oripa Ngibe's affair photos humiliate Kudakwashe
An 11-year marriage collapsed after the husband discovered explicit photographs of his wife with a colleague identified as Hora. Kudakwashe Ngibe confronted his wife, Oripa Chapwanya Ngibe, about the affair, and she apologized following church mediation. The relationship continued despite her promises, prompting Kudakwashe to leave their home last month. Kudakwashe later confronted Hora and his wife Mona, who sought the photographs to pursue adultery damages against Oripa. Oripa admitted the affair but said her husband began openly communicating with another woman as retaliation. Kudakwashe said the betrayal devastated him after more than a decade of marriage, and he described his wife's behavior as inappropriate for a mother and spouse.
Mugabe legacy crumbles as son Robert is arrested
Robert Mugabe Junior was arrested on Tuesday in Harare after officers allegedly discovered drugs in his possession. Police found two sachets of dagga and a substance suspected to be cocaine hidden among cash carried by the 33-year-old son of the late former president. He was detained at Harare Central Police Station by the Drugs and Narcotics section and appeared in court on Wednesday. The arrest marks another legal setback for Mugabe Junior, who faced charges in February 2023 for property damage and assaulting an officer at a party. His younger brother Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe was arrested on July 1 over allegations of leading an armed attack on mine workers near the family estate in Mazowe. Observers noted such arrests would have...
Burglars humble Zimbabwe minister Kazembe Kazembe
Authorities are investigating a break-in at the office of Home Affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe that occurred over the weekend of Sept. 28, 2025.

In a separate case on Sept. 27, fire damaged Elephant Lodge in...
ZIFA chief Magwizi tells fans to unify in failure
Zimbabwe Football Association President Nqobile Magwizi has called for unity among supporters as the Warriors navigate a challenging period in international competition. The national team has secured just one victory in its last 10 matches and was eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers without recording a single win. Magwizi told Soccer24 that passion from fans remains valued but urged collective effort over division to restore the program's standing. Supporters have expressed mounting frustration with ZIFA leadership and demanded accountability from both Magwizi and coach Michael Nees. Critics argue the association has failed to deliver adequate infrastructure and meaningful progress despite repeated assurances. Fans on...
Nvidia's Jensen Huang cancels your college degree
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues that trade qualifications may surpass university degrees as pathways to success in the artificial intelligence era. The tech billionaire predicts demand for electricians, plumbers, and carpenters will surge as data center construction accelerates globally. Huang stated these skilled workers will need to double annually to support infrastructure expansion, and McKinsey projects global data center investment will reach $7 trillion by 2030. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and Ford CEO Jim Farley have echoed concerns about worker shortages hampering development plans. The United States currently lacks 600,000 factory workers, and 500,000 construction workers, according to reports. Construction of a single large data...
Combs' victims watch as mogul begs for mercy
Sean Combs will learn his sentence on Friday after being convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Each count carries a maximum of 10 years in prison. A jury acquitted the music mogul of racketeering and sex trafficking charges in July. Prosecutors requested a minimum sentence of 11 years, but Combs's attorneys argued for a sentence of no more than 14 months. The defense portrayed him as a reformed man who needs to care for his seven children and elderly mother. A probation office recommended five to seven years. Cassandra Ventura submitted a letter to the judge requesting justice and accountability. She stated she moved her family from New York City because she feared retaliation. Prosecutors argued that...
South Africa's Malema caged after gun stunt
Julius Malema was convicted on gun charges on Wednesday, one month after a separate court found the South African leftist politician guilty of hate speech. President Trump attacked Malema at an Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing him of inciting violence against white South Africans. Trump played footage of Malema leading chants of Kill the Boer, a protest song from the apartheid era. Malema's party blamed the verdict on imperialist and right-wing influence, while South Africa's National Prosecuting Authority rejected claims of foreign pressure. The gun charges stem from a 2018 rally where Malema appeared to fire an automatic rifle. He faces up to 15 years in prison when sentenced in January. The...
Three die for Morocco's World Cup stadiums
Three people have died at anti-government protests in Morocco, and the prime minister confirmed the fatalities on Thursday. The demonstrations began last weekend when Gen Z 212 activists called for improved schools, hospitals, and broader freedoms through social media. Protesters oppose heavy government spending on the 2030 soccer World Cup while public services remain inadequate. Police defended their actions after protesters attempted to storm a building, and authorities arrested more than 400 people. Young Moroccans face a 35.8 percent unemployment rate for those under 25 years old. Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch offered dialogue, but demonstrators demanded his resignation instead. The protests reflect a global pattern of youth...
Torched and terrified, Mliswa flees to SA
Former legislator Temba Mliswa left Zimbabwe for South Africa after publicly challenging Vice President Constantino Chiwenga's presidential ambitions and accusing him of corruption. Mliswa named businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei as President Emmerson Mnangagwa's probable successor in leaked audio recordings. The former lawmaker claimed Chiwenga overestimates his military influence and pursues personal vendettas rather than genuine anti-corruption efforts. Arsonists destroyed Mliswa's Shurugwi homestead on Wednesday, causing damage exceeding $120,000. Witnesses reported hearing a vehicle before discovering the bedroom hut engulfed in flames. Mliswa connected the attack to his transparency campaign within the ruling party. Authorities...
