Chamisa back to take on Mnangagwa 2030 scheme

Health Ministry tackles medicine delays with new system
Zimbabwe's health officials want to fix medicine problems at government hospitals. They found that NatPharm has plenty of drugs but red tape stops them from reaching sick people.

Health bosses decided they need better ways to move medicines from storage areas to patients. Doctor Aspect Maunganidze runs the health department and says they're starting new computer systems to track medicine deliveries. The electronic system will replace old paper methods that slow everything down. Officials also plan to spread out storage centers and make money flow better...
High Court throws out eviction for 19 settlers
A judge threw out eviction orders against 19 families living on Clipsham land. Justice Sunsley Zisengwe made this decision at Masvingo High Court after finding out the government never officially declared the area as state property. The families had been staying there since 2002 when they first moved onto the farm. Local officials tried to kick them out earlier this year but the court stopped it. The ruling protects these settlers who thought they were breaking the law. The trouble started when Magistrate Farai Gwitima found the families guilty of living on government land without permission back in February. He told them they had one week to pack up and leave their homes. The families fought back and asked the High Court to give them...
