A jailed-then-bailed opposition figure is still stuck across the border, now passing the hat for six figures in legal fees while waiting for his South African court date to roll around.
Why the appeal is happening now
Legal bills have started stacking up, and patience does not pay attorneys.
The situation traces back to an arrest that happened last year, not something freshly unfolding.
The ask is framed as urgent because the next court phase is close.
What led to the arrest
Former opposition MP Job Sikhala was arrested in November 2025.
South African Police reportedly found explosives in the vehicle he was traveling in.
The arrest took place in South Africa, immediately shifting his legal fight outside Zimbabwe.

What allegedly went down in Bulawayo
A 22-year-old man from Nkulumane, Bulawayo, ended up in police custody after a very bad run of decisions.
The money at the center of it all totaled more than US$10,000 and did not belong to him.
The cash reportedly disappeared into an online gambling game called Aviator.
Where the money came from
The savings belonged to his mother, a 48-year-old self-employed woman.
More than ten years went into building that stash, with a future building project in mind.

Zimbabwe’s streets are swimming in unregistered sex enhancers, and health officials are worried that desperation, easy access, and zero regulation are quietly lining up the next public health mess.
Why health officials are uneasy

The concern is less about morality and more about safety.
Where the drugs are coming from
Many of the products are reportedly imported from Zambia.
Others are said to originate in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
None of the products cleared through formal medical channels.

A poor street vendor ended up fined for indecent exposure after police grabbed her skirt, prosecutors rolled their eyes at the charge, and the internet dragged the system until politicians stepped in with a house.
Why prosecutors shut this down fast
The Masvingo Magistrates’ Court heard the charge and basically waved it off.
Prosecutors called the indecent exposure case frivolous.
The view was simple because this did not deserve full court time.
Whose case was it about
The accused was 41-year-old Gladies Madhlame.
She survives as a street vendor selling tomatoes and fruit.
Housing has not been part of her reality.
What the police said happened
Officers from the Zimbabwe Republic Police tried to arrest her.
During that attempt, her...

Zimbabwe’s land reform paperwork is finally moving, with thousands of A2 farmers cleared for title deeds and A1 farmers slowly getting bundled support, after years of delays, cash hiccups, and legal growing pains.
What the government says is ready now
Obert Jiri says surveys are complete for 13000 A2 farms.
Those farms are officially cleared for title deeds.
The bottleneck shifted from land surveys to admin follow-through.
How many farmers are actually lined up
Out of the surveyed A2 farms, 7756 have been fully matched to named farmers.
Those farmers can now collect title deeds.
Officials are actively calling them to speed things up.
Why did A2 farmers move faster
A2 farmers tend to be commercially focused.

After 25 years on the front lines, one of the Republic of Zimbabwe’s loudest democracy coalitions is hitting pause, shutting down its current structure, and admitting the political environment finally made the old playbook unsustainable.
What just ended
Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition announced it is shutting down.
The decision takes effect immediately.
The current organizational structure is being dissolved, not quietly shelved.
How the decision was made
The call was taken during the coalition’s 16th Annual General Meeting.

Each staff member gets 90000 US dollars.

Zimbabwe’s central bank has been propping up the ZiG with over a billion dollars in forex firepower, and while officials are calling it stability, economists are split on whether this is strength, strategy, or just borrowed time.
What the central bank actually did
Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe pushed 1.34 billion US dollars into the forex market.
The intervention covers roughly the past two years.
The goal has been to keep the Zimbabwe Gold currency steady.
How the money moved
Support flowed through the Willing-Buyer Willing-Seller system.
Companies accessed foreign currency through formal channels.
The approach aimed to sideline the parallel market.
Where the numbers came from
The data sits in the fourth-quarter monetary and...
