The taxman finally figured out how to squeeze cash from your late-night streaming habits. ZIMRA defends its digital services levy as a necessary evil to stop offshore platforms from bullying local businesses through unfair advantages. Mathias Chinanayi argues that foreign tech giants serving Zimbabwean customers should face similar fiscal hurdles as domestic operators.
Officials claim this policy promotes fair competition rather than just punishing imports. Local shops pay their dues, yet external providers previously operated tax-free while selling identical electronic services. The authority insists that leveling the playing field prevents an economic imbalance where money flows out without benefiting the national treasury...
Itumeleng Khune finally found a gig that doesn't involve warming the bench or fighting retirement rumors. The Kaizer Chiefs legend teamed up with Ruimsig Football Academy to launch a training scheme called Distribution 101. He plans to teach kids between twelve and eighteen how to stop balls at Avianto Estate Private School. This project supposedly gives young talent a structured route into professional leagues.
The curriculum highlights technical skills and game intelligence alongside the mental toughness needed for elite competition. Khune apparently wants to mix his extensive background with fresh coaching tactics to groom future stars. It sounds like a solid plan to fix the local goalkeeping crisis while helping aspirants reach the...
The rugby factory down south just dropped its hottest new inventory list as five fresh faces grabbed nominations for the 2025 Young Player of the Year award. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu heads this group alongside Ethan Hooker and Canan Moodie, while Haashim Pead and Zachary Porthen complete the selection. They join veterans like Pieter-Steph du Toit and Malcolm Marx competing for the senior prize.
Most people peg Feinberg-Mngomezulu as the lock to win since he already bosses games for the Stormers and Springboks. That dude brings serious versatility with his boot and vision, which makes him a total nightmare. His chill vibe during massive matches suggests he functions well as a dual threat.
Hooker smashed his way onto the radar at the...
Another self-proclaimed savior has landed in town to push for a political group hug that nobody actually requested. Herbert Chamuka from the People's Unity Party touched down recently to market his Inclusive Government Agenda, or IGA. He plans to meet reporters at the media center on Wednesday to explain why scrapping the 2028 voting cycle makes sense. His pitch claims that ZANU-PF will likely rig any upcoming ballot anyway, making a shared power arrangement the smarter play for fixing the economy and smoothing over human rights messes.
This proposed setup purportedly aims to tackle heavy baggage like the Gukurahundi massacres while sorting out payouts for victims. Chamuka argues that pausing the electoral game allows the nation to...
It seems the Harare bourgeoisie are finally getting that concrete playground they definitely asked for. Ken Sharpe from Westprop Holdings claims five residential blocks at Pomona City will see keys handed over around mid-year. These initial structures represent just a fraction of the twenty-two planned buildings. Every four-story stack contains sixteen apartments. The builders currently lay bricks to finish this first batch.
This massive development sits right next to Wingate Golf Club. The marketing team calls the place a hybrid city. They promise the business stands for a shopping complex nearby. Sharpe hypes this area as a micro-urban environment where people live and shop without leaving. The whole concept aims to reshape the...
It looks like being a loudmouth political hype man really pays off these days. Taurai Kandishaya faces heat over claims that his hype for Kudakwashe Tagwirei connects to sweet perks like a fancy ride and rural homestead upgrades. ZANU PF insiders worry that this Youth League bigwig pushes the tycoon excessively while apparently securing personal rewards on the side.
Kandishaya argues that Tagwirei deserves a spotlight at Harare feedback rallies because the guy ostensibly brings unique skills to the Central Committee table. He claims the tycoon simply outshines others when talking about the economy. Critics find it weird that a money man dominates the mic during these political cluster meetings meant for regular updates.

Everyone doubts the state can actually finish this massive highway repair job on time. Fears are rising that the Bulawayo–Victoria Falls road overhaul will miss the deadline because progress is crawling. Crews have only opened roughly forty-five kilometers of the massive stretch, sometimes celebrating tiny five-kilometer completions while the rest remains a disaster.
Jabulani Hadebe from Nkayi South blasted the timeline, claiming officials always miss targets due to shadiness or incompetence. He listed failures on routes like Bulawayo–Nkayi and Bulawayo–Tsholotsho as proof. The legislator vowed to pressure the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Finance to release funds faster since delays usually happen when money dries up...
Vocational classes are literally saving lives in this forgotten district. A government initiative funded by international agencies recently instructed over two hundred residents in the Saba area of Binga how to weld, sew, and install solar panels. The Climate Adaptation, Water and Energy Programme aims to pull women and young adults out of poverty through practical work.
Local boss Chief Saba, also known as Charles Mudenda, appreciates the help but insists academic learning requires equal focus. He pointed out that while kids study English and Tonga, money issues push numerous students to quit early. Polygamous families often cannot afford fees for every child, leaving huge numbers uneducated despite occasional donor assistance...
Locals waited three whole years before the government finally dropped some development cash. Hwange Central legislator Daniel Molokele verified that 1.3 million ZiG hit the specific account last week, aimed at upgrading the area. He clarified that this deposit comes from the 2024 national budget, marking the first time they have seen a dime since 2022.
Parliament admitted that the 2023 allocation was totally skipped, while nobody knows when the 2025 or 2026 transfers might happen. This uncertainty makes planning future improvements a complete nightmare. The local committee intends to jumpstart approved tasks immediately in Wards One, Four, Five, Six, and Fourteen.
Neighborhoods outside those zones must sit tight until the next batch...
