The government started putting new rules into action that will help local communities share profits from mining companies. These special groups called Community Share Ownership Trusts let people who live near mines earn money from the resources taken from their land. Mining firms used to take valuable metals and minerals without giving much back to the areas where they worked. The new system makes sure communities receive fair payments and better services.
Cabinet ministers agreed to these changes during a meeting on June 3rd. Dr Thomas Utete Wushe works as the top official at the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. He explained that mining companies often took resources and left without helping local people build better lives. The...

Officials from the Agricultural Marketing Authority showed new testing boxes that help judge cotton quality across Zimbabwe. Edgar Mudokwani spoke for the authority and explained that cotton gets sorted into four groups called A, B, C and D.

Most cotton grown during 2024 received poor grades because farmers faced many problems. Only four percent of the total crop earned the top A grade that buyers really want. Weather damage and bad farming methods caused 91 percent...
