Zimbabwe police announced they would seize any car driving around without license plates. The national police spoke up on March 28, saying this breaks the Vehicle Registration law. They plan to hold these cars until the owners finish proper paperwork with the right offices. This rule affects everyone—regular people, businesses, buses, and even government vehicles.
The police want drivers to follow this rule to keep roads safe. They noticed many people never finish paperwork when buying used cars. They found cars sold to five or seven different people, yet papers still show the first owner as current. Police mostly catch these problems when something bad happens with the car. They promise to track down every single car with the wrong...
Zimbabwe named a new army leader last Thursday. President Emmerson Mnangagwa bumped Major-General Emmanuel Matatu up to Lieutenant-General and gave him the top job running the entire Zimbabwe National Army. Matatu takes over after the previous boss, Anselem Sanyatwe, was moved to handle sports and arts for the country.
Matatu worked his way up through military ranks over many years. He started as a freedom fighter back in 1976 when he left high school in Plumtree. He trained at a camp called Mwembeshi in Zambia alongside 1,200 other young men who wanted to free Zimbabwe. The military picked him as one of just 95 special recruits for officer training at the Zambian Military Academy.
The military chose Matatu because he had already...
Zimbabwe police shared new information about car attacks at businesses linked to rich men Wicknell Chivayo, Kuda Tagwirei, former bank boss John Mangudya, and Minister Tinoda Machakaire. Police leader Paul Nyathi talked about these events Friday afternoon. He said people threw gas bombs at cars parked near company offices in different parts of Harare plus the nearby Goromonzi area. These attacks happened early Friday between midnight and four in the morning.
Police figured out how these attacks worked. Unknown people drove cars right up to these business places. They set the vehicles on fire themselves. Then they jumped into other cars waiting nearby and sped away from the burning wrecks. This happened the same way at every location...
Someone set fire to several cars last night near businesses owned by big shots Wicknell Chivayo and Kudakwashe Tagwirei in Zimbabwe. These attacks happened across Harare after dark when nobody was around. People nearby saw three different vehicles covered with gas and burned up outside important business buildings. The flames sent smoke high into the night air all across the capital city.
One attack happened right outside Chivayo's new Intratek company headquarters. Another car burned at a place connected to Tagwirei. A third vehicle went up in flames at a DA gas station that many people say belongs to Tinoda Machakaire. All three business owners have strong connections to the government party running Zimbabwe.

ZIMASCO just told the Judicial Services Commission they think Judge Joel Mambara helped steal from their mining company. The CEO, John Musekiwa, wrote them on March 21, saying the judge made a ruling without telling ZIMASCO first. This weird ruling gave power to businessman Shepard Tundiya and his friend Denny Marandure through their company Avim Investments. The judge later changed his paperwork without letting anyone know, which breaks legal rules.
ZIMASCO feels pretty mad about how fast everything happened. They say the whole case finished in just three hours from start to finish. The mining company believes this speed shows that something fishy happened. Musekiwa wrote that proper courts need to include all parties when changing...
Rich businessman Wicknell Chivayo spent R4.2 million buying fancy cars for workers outside his home country. He gave six brand-new Polo GTi 2025 vehicles to his security team members who work in South Africa. According to reports, each car costs about R700,000. He bought these rides from a car dealer called Vogue, located in the rich neighborhood of Sandton.
Someone captured the whole car handover on video. Social media user Jnr Flacko shared this clip later on X. Many Zimbabwe citizens felt unhappy seeing this display of wealth. They left angry comments asking why he publicly showed his protection team. Several people questioned where he earned all this cash from.
One user named lodpunter wrote that nobody smart reveals their...
Zimbabwe Home Affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe told everyone not to join protests on March 31. He called these gatherings unlawful and said they hurt public order. The government stands against these demonstrations planned by Blessed Geza, a war veteran who ran away from authorities. Kazembe feels worried about people using social media to gather crowds for these events.
The minister labeled these efforts as harmful activities that could wreck peace across the country. He stated the government noticed certain individuals trying to convince peaceful citizens to join illegal gatherings through online posts and fake announcements. Kazembe emphasized that protecting national security remains their duty under the constitution, making no...
President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe just appointed retired Major General Emmanuel Matatu as his new army boss, right before a big anti-government protest planned for Monday. Many people fear this staff change might signal a possible coup soon.
A group of war veterans called for the March 31 protest. These former fighters once backed Mnangagwa but have turned against him, demanding he step down from office. The newly appointed Matatu comes from the same Midlands province as the president, but few Zimbabweans know much about him. Political expert Eldred Masunungure told the BBC that Matatu's background and advanced age of 72 suggest he was chosen just to fill the position temporarily during unstable times.
Masunungure pointed out...
Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa faces his biggest test since he grabbed power eight years ago. His ruling party fights among itself as people feel angry about the awful economy. A former ZANU-PF member named Blessed Geza has asked everyone to protest against the president on March 31. Geza, nicknamed Bombshell, appeared on social media wearing army clothes, saying he had already started working to kick out Mnangagwa.
Police answered by strengthening their positions across the country and promising to punish anyone who told others to act violently. Most people might stay home because the political opposition remains weak after years of harsh treatment. Many Zimbabweans remember how mass protests helped the army remove Robert...
