Deputy minister eyes stronger HBC rollout as parents lag behind
Education bigwigs are finally realizing that nobody actually gets this new syllabus. Deputy Minister Angeline Gata rolled up to Kuredza Technical Government Primary School in Kadoma recently to demand that teachers and parents stop sleeping on the Heritage-Based Curriculum. She insisted that everyone needs to get on the same page to fix the massive disconnect in how this program is being rolled out. Gata noticed a serious gap between educators and guardians when it comes to executing project requirements. She stressed that the whole point is arming students with hands-on abilities they can use even if they walk away from academics early. The official pushed for better communication to ensure the strategy actually works, noting that...
Harare woman out on bail after trust loses US$137k in house scam
Boomers are totally fleecing people for massive stacks while acting innocent in court. Virginia Maida allegedly scammed the Mash Family Futures Trust out of nearly one hundred forty thousand American dollars. Magistrate Donald Ndirowei released the sixty-two-year-old on one thousand bucks bail after she appeared for tricking victims with a house in Marlborough. Prosecutors claim she pretended to manage her deceased brother's estate last July. She flashed papers saying she could offload the residence for one hundred twenty grand. The buyers dropped the full amount in hard currency, believing her story. It turned out she lacked permission from the Master of the High Court to trade the asset. Real heirs threw a fit and sued, causing a...
Chiredzi MP nabbed as CDF funds morph into shoes and beer
It seems some politicians treat taxpayer cash like a personal piggy bank. The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission detained Darlington Chiwa from Chiredzi West on accusations of draining Constituency Development Funds. Spokesperson Kindness Paradza verified the bust, noting that the lawmaker allegedly manipulated the bank accounts to become the only person capable of signing checks. Investigators claim Parliament wired roughly 1.3 million ZWG to the district in April 2025. That cash immediately went into his private stash rather than helping the community. Reports show he blew nearly one million on building supplies, groceries, shoes, and booze. Only a tiny fraction supposedly went toward actual projects. He allegedly faked paperwork...
Harare mayor blames ZiG 8B debt as city sinks into service rut
City Hall is crying broke while trash piles up and wallets stay shut. The Harare City Council claims operations are choking because ratepayers are ghosting an eight billion ZiG debt. Mayor Jacob Mafume insists services are tanking because locals refuse to clear balances, with residents holding eighty percent of that heavy bag. He warned that this financial drought makes the city unlivable. Town House launched a promo giving a twenty percent discount to anyone clearing tabs during the upcoming amnesty window. Mafume says this limited opportunity helps citizens avoid harsher collection methods later. Those paying with foreign currency or sending cash from the diaspora get extra perks. A recent crackdown on commercial sectors apparently...
Rusape man nabbed for flexing while the real big fish glide
Regular dudes get wrecked for balling while elites loot freely without consequences. Regai Chipanga from Rusape learned this the hard way after upgrading his digs in Village A, Nyahukwe. Cops raided his place following a flashy wedding and the purchase of a Honda Vezel alongside a Toyota Probox. They seized seven hundred dollars and the cars, charging him with money laundering. Authorities claimed he failed to explain the sudden wealth. Chipanga told the judge he dug up gold in Bindura to pay for everything, eventually walking out on three hundred dollars bail. Observers claim this bust proves the system is rigged. Reuben Mbofana argues that links to the ruling party grant immunity, while normal guys get harassed for flexing. This...
Malaria cases climb in Mash West as health officials sound alarm
Mosquitos are absolutely wrecking people again because the rainy season is brutalizing immune systems. Mashonaland West province just logged nearly two hundred forty infections alongside three fatalities as the wet weather drives transmission wild. Government data shows Hurungwe taking the hardest hit with eighty-six victims, while Makonde trails closely behind, having seventy-two sick residents. Zvimba recorded forty-one patients, but numbers dropped significantly for Sanyati, Mhondoro Ngezi, Kariba, and Chegutu. Sadly, the data reveals twenty toddlers under age five caught the parasite, which makes up over eight percent of the total. Four pregnant mothers also tested positive, proving that high-risk groups remain totally exposed to...
Chief Justice Malaba set to retire as JSC swats rumors
Everyone assumed this top magistrate was squatting, yet he is actually dipping out. The Judicial Service Commission confirmed Chief Justice Luke Malaba permanently clocks out in May 2026, silencing gossip that he refused vacation days beforehand. They clarified his tenure absolutely concludes at midnight, marking the finish line for a career lasting over forty years. This exit matches section 186(1) of the constitution, which forces judges out at seventy unless they grab one five-year extension. Malaba reached that milestone in 2021, prompting Zanu PF to controversially patch the laws. That edit allowed him to stay until seventy-five, a play which opposition groups claimed was rigged to maintain his influence. Legal bosses threw shade...
England hand Zimbabwe U19 a bruising at Takashinga
Zimbabwe's young cricketers got absolutely crushed at home during the World Cup. The hosts took a massive beating from the English squad at Takashinga Cricket Club recently. England opted to field first and immediately wrecked the batting lineup. Disaster struck immediately when Nathaniel Hlabangana walked back with zero runs in the opening over. Captain Simbarashe Mudzengerere remained unbeaten with forty-five runs while Dhruv Patel and Kian Blignaut added some decent scores. Tatenda Chimugoro tried to speed things up late, but it hardly helped. Manny Lamsden tore through the order and snagged three wickets to keep the total low at just over two hundred nine down. Chasing that target looked laughably simple for the visitors. Although...
Chatonzwa magic wasted as the Dutch sink Zimbabwe
The Lady Chevrons just threw away a winnable game against the Dutch. Zimbabwe Women flopped at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground after failing to chase a low score. They opted to bowl first and restricted the opposition to one hundred twenty-two. Yet the batting order crumbled instantly, handing the Netherlands a victory with a twenty-three-run gap in this qualifier match. Christabel Chatonzwa absolutely carried the team on defense. She snagged a career-best five wickets while leaking minimal runs to dismantle the European lineup. Lindokuhle Mabhera and Audrey Mazvishaya helped with one scalp apiece. Their work kept the target decent even though Phebe Molkenboer and Sterre Kalis managed to post scores in the twenties...
