Former Zimbabwe Under-19 captain Dumisani Mankunzini blames poor coaching for the national cricket team's failures. The ex-Matabeleland Tuskers leg-spinner says Zimbabwe has more talent than South Africa but wastes it through bad development programs. Young players learn basic skills but never master advanced techniques that separate good cricketers from great ones. Coaches teach children how to hold a bat but cannot show them how to score centuries consistently. The country produces talented youth who struggle when they reach first-class cricket because their foundation remains weak.
Mankunzini uses Wesley Madhevere as an example of wasted potential after the player developed well through South African systems. He questions whether...
Tinotenda Mutyambizi earned the nickname Dhiziri during his school days at Ruvheneko Primary School because he loved cars and always arrived late. Other students walked to school each morning but young Mutyambizi waited for the groundsman's vehicle every day. His classmates teased him for this strange habit but he never got angry about the nickname. The boy from Glen Norah always laughed off their jokes and accepted the name Dhiziri with good humor. His childhood obsession with vehicles created a lasting identity that followed him through his soccer career.
The 26-year-old midfielder transforms Mwhile into a Premier Soccer League force during their debut season under coach Lloyd Mutasa. Mutyambizi anchors the team's midfield with smart...

Zimbabwe tobacco farmers earn close to one billion dollars from selling their golden leaf crop during the current marketing season. Sales figures show farmers have made 903.8 million dollars from 268.5 million kilograms sold since the season began.

Zimbabwe starts building a new electronic passport office for citizens living throughout the United Kingdom. Workers will finish construction before 2025 ends and the center will help thousands of people apply for passports without traveling back home.

Home Affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe says the UK office will open before the year finishes. He explains that government teams finished the South African location first and learned from that experience. The minister believes passport services should reach people where they live rather than force...

Zimbabwe has witnessed several cases where church leaders have betrayed the trust of their congregations and communities. These religious figures, expected to be moral beacons, have instead found themselves on the wrong side of the law. The pattern shows that religious authority can sometimes mask criminal behavior.
Courts across the country have addressed various cases involving pastors, church officials, and leaders of the religious community. These convictions encompass a range of crimes, from financial fraud to official misconduct. The cases reveal how some people use religious positions to commit crimes.
The legal system has had to strike a balance between respecting religious freedom and the need to prosecute criminal behavior...
Zimbabwe has some of the strictest anti-gay laws in Africa. Same-sex sexual activity between men is illegal and punishable with a fine, a prison sentence, or both, with a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment and a fine. The law only targets men, meaning same-sex relationships between women remain legal. The constitution bans same-sex marriage, and no explicit legal protections exist for LGBTIQ people.
The government has maintained a hostile stance toward LGBT rights for decades. Vice President Constantino Chiwenga has reiterated his strong opposition to LGBTQ rights, recently stating that Zimbabwe is a Christian country and therefore does not have room to accommodate those who identify as LGBTQ. This official opposition creates an...
