Zimra Cracks Down on Flashy Celebs Skipping Taxes
Zimbabwe tax officials have started watching rich people who show off online. The revenue agency targets social media stars, musicians, famous people, and government leaders who display wealth.

The agency studies Facebook posts, tweets, and newspaper stories about expensive purchases. Revenue staff member Gladman Njanji said these wealth investigations happen regularly. The tax office uses both the internet and...
Harare Water Crisis Filth Hits Dangerous Highs
The water in Harare faces serious pollution problems, according to local officials. EMA staff gather water samples every month from 24 different places around the city. They test these samples in their labs to check how dirty the water has become. The tests show high levels of phosphates have built up in the main dam. Oxygen levels have also fallen in the water. People cause most of these water problems through everyday activities. Farming practices add chemicals to the water supply, and household waste makes the situation worse as it flows into streams. These issues create health risks for residents and harm local wildlife. EMA hopes its testing will help them find ways to clean up the water supply.
