Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor John Mushayavanhu dismissed worries about the 92.1 percent inflation rate for the Zimbabwe Gold currency. He told reporters Tuesday that the high numbers come from comparing prices against an artificial starting point. The ZiG launched during April 2024 without proper historical data for accurate calculations. September 2024 brought unusual price increases that make current figures appear worse than reality. Banks call this problem the base effect when new currencies create misleading statistics.
Mushayavanhu expects inflation rates to drop significantly after September 2025 passes. The central bank leader said citizens should wait for more reliable measurements once full year comparisons become...
Harare residents pay 90,000 dollars daily for waste collection that rarely happens. The city signed a 162 million dollar contract with Geopomona Waste Management without public bidding. Delish Nguwaya runs the company and was previously cleared of COVID medical supply charges. Government officials force monthly payments of 2.7 million dollars regardless of actual garbage pickup. Streets remain dirty and illegal dumps continue growing across neighborhoods.
Geopomona claimed workers removed 80,000 tonnes of rubbish during one month. Local residents say the company cleared some areas once and never returned. Community leaders report visible cleaning happened only during February before operations stopped completely. International partner...

Social media users criticized the decision after seeing airport photos of Mutasa wearing national team gear. Critics claim his famous mother...
Mike Mpinga faces new fraud charges after police discovered his car theft scheme. The same man whose dogs killed a neighbor allegedly stole vehicles worth 26,000 dollars from a Harare resident. Mpinga approached the victim in August 2024 asking to rent a car for business purposes. He later returned with plans for a joint car rental company partnership. The suspect convinced the car owner to provide more vehicles and customs papers.
Mpinga promised to register the business properly through government offices. He secretly put all the vehicles under his name instead of creating the rental company. The victim checked with Vehicle Theft Squad officers and learned about the deception. Mpinga sold every car and stopped answering phone calls...
Zimbabwe government paid 4.2 million dollars to Betterbrands Petroleum last week. Scott Sakupwanya owns the fuel company and serves as a Member of Parliament for the ruling party. Finance Ministry official George Guvamatanga approved the payment instruction on May 30th. The Treasury transferred money from government accounts to Sakupwanya's business bank account. Investigative reporters published the payment document on social media Monday.
Citizens questioned the transaction because the state operates Petrotrade for fuel purchases. Many people criticized the deal as favoritism toward politically connected businesses. Neither Sakupwanya nor Guvamatanga responded to media requests for comment about the payment. Government departments...
Tawanda Nyambirai wants to hire engineers and designers for his research team. The businessman controls Ecocash Holdings and Steward Bank.

Some people accused him of age discrimination against experienced candidates. Critics suggested he wants to pay lower salaries to younger employees. Others questioned why he advertises jobs on social media instead of professional websites.
One person asked about skilled...
Mike Mapinga faces court charges after his dogs killed a man walking past his Bluffhill home. Four dogs escaped from Mapinga's property Saturday night and attacked Samuel Machara on the street.

Machara died from severe wounds caused during the attack.
Police arrested Mapinga Monday on culpable homicide charges for leaving dangerous dogs unattended overnight. One Pit Bull had blood stains on its fur when authorities found the animals. The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals took all four dogs away from the property. Court officials gave Mapinga's lawyer until Thursday to prepare...
Zimbabwe needs companies to process raw materials into finished products rather than export them unprocessed. National Competitiveness Commission leader Phillip Phiri spoke about this at a recent banking conference. He said factories should turn minerals and farm crops into valuable goods before selling them abroad. The country loses money when it ships lithium ore instead of making batteries. Processing creates more jobs and brings higher profits to Zimbabwe.
Current mineral exports earn 6 billion dollars but could reach 35 billion with proper factories. Tobacco sales make 1 billion dollars each year but processing could increase earnings to 5 billion dollars. Pharmaceutical companies use tobacco plants to make insulin for diabetes...
