Parliament wants Zimbabwe's tax office to fix its online system fast. The Public Accounts Committee told the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority last week that better ways for people to pay taxes on time are needed. This helps the government collect all the money it should. The committee spoke up after reading reports from 2021 and 2022 that showed problems with the tax website since 2016.
The tax website keeps breaking down when many people try to use it at once. Back in 2021, the system couldn't handle all 364,011 tax returns people tried to submit. The website crashed much more often than it should have. Regina Chinamasa, who runs the tax office, admitted that the online system totally failed in 2021. Her team had to create emergency...

Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume called out the city's top managers for failing to fix run-down district offices. He pointed out that these managers live in huge homes that make the district offices look tiny. Reports say the town clerk pulls in over $30,000 monthly, and even the lowest-paid executive earns about $15,000 each month. These big earners keep quiet about their wealth. They drive used cars to work and sit on beat-up furniture, trying to hide how much money they make.
At a recent push to collect more city money, Mafume highlighted how small district offices looked compared to the fancy houses where city managers live. He said his house was small, but many managers had houses bigger than entire district offices. Mafume suggested...

Kenya faces growing problems with its plant exports. Industry experts worry that more shipments are being stopped at borders due to pests and rule violations. This happens just as the farming sector keeps expanding rapidly. Agriculture leader Kiprono Rono points out that fruit and vegetable growing remains one of Kenya's fastest-advancing farm businesses.
The industry struggles with market access and health requirements and needs better roads and storage facilities. Climate change hits Kenya hard, creating problems for water-hungry plant processing operations. Small farmers face extra challenges like limited seeds and fertilizers, difficulty meeting regulations, finding buyers, securing loans, and accessing farming information. They...
When the United States stops helping HIV/AIDS patients, Malawi will face big problems. Our country has always needed outside money for healthcare, especially in fighting HIV/AIDS. UNAIDS leader Winnie Byanyima warned on March 24, 2025, that HIV would rise again worldwide. She said people might die like they did years ago. Her words made me remember losing friends and family to this disease back then. People became skinny from what locals called "kawondewonde" during the 1990s and 2000s. Free medicine later stopped many deaths.
Malawi will likely see more HIV infections because prevention programs will shrink. Many patients might lose access to life-saving drugs, causing more sickness and death. Our public hospitals could become...
