President Mnangagwa visited National Foods and praised their new factories that make pasta, cereals, and biscuits. The company spent 13 million dollars building modern plants that use local crops from Zimbabwe farmers. Workers at the pasta factory produce 1,200 tons each month using wheat grown at home. The cereal plant will make 800 tons monthly from local corn. Government leaders want more companies to build similar facilities across the country.
Zimbabwe used to buy most pasta from other nations but the new factory changes that situation. The pasta line uses 1,500 tons of local wheat every month and saves foreign money. National Foods sells products to South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana already. The president challenged the company...
Dynamos football club spent 126,000 dollars on traditional healers during 126 games over 32 months. The team paid 1,000 dollars per match to sangomas who promised to help them win. FIFA banned the club from signing new players because they failed to pay two Ghanaian footballers. Emmanuel Paga and Frederick Botchway never received 18,500 dollars that Dynamos owed them. The club chose to pay traditional healers instead of settling player debts.
Officials at Dynamos still visit the stadium at midnight before games to perform special ceremonies. The sangomas claim they prevent worse defeats even when the team loses matches. Club supporters question why money goes to traditional healers when players wait for their wages. Dynamos won only...
President Mnangagwa opens the new Trabablas Interchange today after years of construction work. The project cost 88 million dollars and replaced an old traffic circle that caused daily jams. Zimbabwe paid for the entire project without help from other countries. Local companies built the massive road system that connects three major streets. The government chose this location to improve traffic flow between Harare and surrounding areas.
The interchange features 15 bridges that carry vehicles over busy intersections. Workers finished the final preparations after Transport Minister Mhona visited the site earlier this week. The new road system links Zimbabwe directly with South Africa for better trade. Drivers will spend less time stuck...
Vice President Chiwenga visited a huge water power plant that Tajikistan built. Energy Minister July Moyo and government engineers joined him on the trip. The country makes almost all electricity from water power. Tajikistan sells extra power to nearby nations. The Rogun plant will make 3,780 megawatts when workers finish building it.
Chiwenga saw how Zimbabwe engineers help build the massive project. About 18,000 people work at the construction site each day. Only 1,400 workers come from other countries. Local people learn valuable skills that help them build future projects. The VP believes Zimbabwe can copy what Tajikistan achieved.
Zimbabwe has many rivers that could make electricity the same way. The country plans to add 2,690...
President Mnangagwa visited National Foods and praised their new factories. The company spent millions building plants that make breakfast cereals, biscuits, and pasta. Zimbabwe wants to make more food at home instead of buying from other countries. Local farmers will sell their crops to these new factories. The president said this helps the country become stronger and more independent.
The pasta factory can make 1,200 tons each month using wheat from Zimbabwe. Before this, the country bought most pasta from abroad. The breakfast cereal plant will use 15,000 tons of local corn every year. Workers at the biscuit factory can produce 1,300 tons monthly. These factories create jobs for people and save money for the nation.

Mzimba District Council leaders approved a K233 billion development plan for 2025 through 2030. The blueprint covers infrastructure, education, health and farming projects for local residents. District Commissioner Rodgers Newa called the plan a roadmap for growth. Council members voted without any lawmakers present at the meeting. The absence follows a recent Constitutional Court decision about local government powers.
The court ruling removed MPs from Constituency Development Fund decisions and Water Resources Fund control. Judges said lawmakers cannot vote during full council meetings anymore. MPs also lost their power to pick and watch over CDF projects. Many politicians see this as weakening their local influence. Several Mzimba...
