Masowe4ED just kicked off a tree-planting push in Glen Norah B to flip the script on apostolic sites causing deforestation.
The group teamed up with Zimbabwe's Forestry Commission and the Environment Ministry to turn worship spots into reforestation zones. Leaders from all 10 provinces showed up for the planting session last week, and they're already plotting to hit four more prayer locations around Harare. The whole move lines up with National Development Strategy 2 and Vision 2030 goals under President Mnangagwa, hitting climate resilience and sustainable living targets.
Chairperson Onwell Vengesa said the organization's shooting for 1 million trees planted across 246 prayer sites scattered throughout every province. That's a pretty...
Bulawayo just dialed back its water cuts from 130 hours weekly to 96 after rain bumped up dam levels.
The city council slashed the shedding schedule because reservoirs are finally catching some relief from steady rainfall hitting the region. Combined dam capacity hit 43 percent last week, which beats the roughly 30 percent they were sitting at during the same stretch last year. Mtshabezi Dam is doing the best right now at 75 percent full after pulling in 17 percent worth of fresh inflows this season.
Bulawayo's been dealing with water drama for decades because of busted old pipes, climate shifts, and more people needing supply than the system can handle. Six dams feed the city, Umzingwane, Inyankuni, Upper Ncema, Lower Ncema...
Mihlali Ndamase just dropped a serious safety warning about some dude allegedly stalking her for months.
The YouTube creator and Treasury Designs founder posted a long statement on Instagram saying she's genuinely scared for her life and her family's well-being. She made clear this wasn't about clout or sympathy, but about staying alive after silence stopped being an option. Ndamase wanted people to know the truth in case something happens to her.
She claims Michael Brits, who goes by Mike online, has been harassing and threatening her ever since she turned down his romantic interest. The situation apparently spiraled after she rejected him, and his behavior crossed into obsessive territory that's freaking her out. According to her...
Limpopo's begging drivers and walkers to quit trying to cross flooded roads after people drowned in Mopani and Vhembe.
The Transport and Community Safety Department dropped warnings after nonstop rain turned roads into death traps across multiple districts. Water's rushing over low bridges and streams, making routes that look passable way more dangerous than they seem. Officials said the flooding had already claimed lives when folks gambled on crossing and lost.
MEC Violet Mathye said the province is seriously worried about casualties piling up from people attempting to wade or drive through flooded areas. She hammered home that getting somewhere fast isn't worth dying over, and floodwaters don't care if you think you can make it. The...
The Brown family is dragging Ammara before the elders over her messy sister beef from three years back.
Tatenda Mashiringo, who performs as Queen Mashie, just confirmed that her niece still needs to face the family court after that public blowup with Chengeto wrecked their reputation. The mbira musician and Andy Brown's old backing singer said nobody's forgotten about how Ammara aired everything out instead of keeping it between relatives.
Ammara went on Star FM back in 2023 and straight-up admitted she had zero relationship left with her younger sister. She told listeners the situation broke her heart because Chengeto used to mean everything to her, but she couldn't get into specifics on air. The whole confession shocked people...
TEMESA just yanked its Ilunda to Luchelele ferry off the water after nets wrecked its guts.
The Tanzania Electrical, Mechanical, and Electronics Services Agency put out word that MV TEMESA is sitting idle because fishing nets got tangled up in the boat's systems mid-morning and trashed critical components. The vessel normally hauls people between Sengerema District's Ilunda spot and Luchelele over in Nyamagana District, but that route's dead until further notice.
Repair crews showed up and started tearing into the technical problems right away. The agency's saying they're hustling to patch everything up fast and get the ferry back to moving passengers without safety risks. No timeline has been dropped yet for when service might...
Tanzania's pushing hard to crank out its own meds and medical gear domestically.
Health Minister Mohamed Mchengerwa dropped the news while hosting a bunch of pharma investors from different countries in Dar es Salaam. He said the government's already moving on this plan to get local factories pumping out drugs and devices at serious volume. The whole thing's supposed to juice up healthcare and drop some cash into the national economy.
The government built specialized manufacturing hubs out in Mloganzila and Kibaha, both sitting in the Coast Region. They threw 10 million bucks at lab equipment and facility upgrades to get these centers ready for actual production. Mchengerwa explained that dropping that cash helps companies skip...

Deputy Permanent Secretary Abeida Rashid is leading the group that includes people from the Ministry of Community Development, Gender, Women, and Special Groups, their Zanzibar counterparts, the Prime Minister's Office for local government, and World Bank reps. They stopped by the Tanzanian Embassy to check in with Ambassador Habibu Kambanga before diving into the research trip. The whole mission's about learning Rwanda's community-level tactics for stopping violence at home.
Felister Mdemu came along as another Deputy Permanent Secretary, and the delegation packed in department heads Badru Abdunuru from Gender Development and Victor Nkya...
Morogoro just locked down a fat water deal worth about 81.41 billion shillings.
Minister Jumaa Aweso showed up to watch the contract get inked, and he brought backup with Regional Commissioner Adam Malima and Engineer Mwajuma Waziri from the water ministry. Local residents packed the signing ceremony at the Municipal Council to see this thing go down. The money's going toward cleaning up the water supply and getting it flowing to more households across town.
Tanzania teamed up with the French Development Agency to make this happen. AFD is throwing cash at the treatment and distribution side of things, which should help people get safer drinking water without all the hassle. The whole point is making sure Morogoro Municipality...
