Police caught seventeen people from Malawi who came into Zimbabwe without papers last Sunday. The group must stay in jail until April 16 because officials need someone who speaks Chewa to help them talk. The arrest happened after their bus crashed on March 30. When police came to help, they found these passengers had no travel permits. The bus driver ran away, making police think he might have been moving people across borders illegally.
The National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe said the Malawian bus crashed near the 165 km mark on the Harare-Chirundu Road. Foreign citizens often pass through Zimbabwe trying to reach South Africa, where they hope to find jobs and better lives. Many end up stuck in Zimbabwe jails for years, waiting...
ZANU PF brushed off war veteran, Blessed Geza's plan to boot President Emmerson Mnangagwa from office. The party puts on a united face even as members clearly take different sides.
Geza called for protests that kept many at home Monday. Kicked out of his ZANU PF Central Committee post, he points to widespread corruption under Mnangagwa. Officials call his effort a flop, but experts say empty streets show that public anger runs deep.
"ZANU PF is a mass party," said party spokesman Christopher Mutsvangwa at a Harare event. He explained big parties always include people with different views who sometimes test those ideas. The party stuck together against Geza, he stressed.
Party business keeps moving forward without problems, Mutsvangwa...

Five South African men face 10-year prison terms in Zimbabwe after authorities foiled their plan to kill a local businessman. A Zimbabwean court found Moses Monde, Malvin Manzinde, Malvin Tatenda Nyamuranga, Norbert Muponda, and Joshua Mapuranga guilty of assault and conspiracy to commit kidnapping. The court initially handed down 12-year sentences for each man but reduced them by two years for good behavior.
The case started with a business deal gone wrong. Oliver Tendai Chipindu paid $800,000 to Obrian Mapurisa for liquefied petroleum gas tankers. Between November 2022 and January 2024, Chipindu repeatedly tried to get paperwork for his purchase. Mapurisa avoided these requests until Chipindu contacted the Turkish supplier directly...
