Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume just roasted residents for treating the city like a giant trash can. He lectured everyone at Town House about how the filth in the Central Business District and suburbs is entirely their fault. The official questioned why people walk around clutching garbage instead of leaving it at home or work where it belongs.
Mafume basically asked why anyone needs to carry maize cobs or groundnuts while strolling down the street. He thinks it makes zero sense for individuals to exit a house or car while holding waste. The politician argued that society has a fundamental issue because locals assume they possess the right to drop junk wherever they please.
He rejected the idea of placing bins on every corner since that...
Four travelers perished when a van slammed into a luxury sedan along the Harare-Masvingo highway. The wreck happened near the one hundred seventy-three kilometer peg involving a Nissan AD and a BMW. Both drivers died alongside their passengers during the chaos. One victim expired immediately at the scene, while three others failed to survive their injuries at Mvuma District Hospital.
Detectives in Midlands Province launched a manhunt for a coward who fled a fatal strike. A foreign-registered Nissan NP300 plowed into two pedestrians disembarking from a bus on the Kwekwe-Gokwe road. The driver simply kept driving without stopping to help the people bleeding on the ground.
One pedestrian died right there on the asphalt. Responders rushed...
Lovemore Madhuku just dragged the top judge for blaming court failures on staffing shortages. The law professor argues that clunky rules actually cause the endless delays instead of empty seats on the bench. He claims the country holds enough judicial officers for sixteen million people, despite what leadership suggests. Madhuku insists the real problem lies within outdated methods that drag everything down unnecessarily.
Chief Justice Luke Malaba previously warned that the legal system faces total collapse without more hires immediately. He described the current workload for eighty judges and roughly two hundred fifty magistrates as completely impossible. Deputy Chief Justice Elizabeth Gwaunza backed him up while claiming the pressure...
Harare turned into a total party zone last year with non-stop legendary events everywhere. Curators Kudakwashe Gwatidzo and Tsungai Madzingira compiled a massive list of eleven bangers that defined the scene alongside Tafadzwa Madzika and Sandra Garwe. Nigel Tha Slick Pastor absolutely crushed his comedy tour, which many called the best laugh of the year. Girlfest brought out the fancy summer dresses, while Tamy Moyo and ExQ handled the stage.
The I Love Mbare Festival saw DJ Maphorisa and Sylent Nqo dominate the crowd with pure talent. Jacaranda Music Festival took over Thornpark Polo, featuring Kamo Mphela alongside heavy hitters like DJ Tira. Joe Thomas finally returned after seventeen years to bless fans with a nostalgic concert...
Hosiah Chipanga claims radio stations ghosted him despite his massive career spanning decades. The veteran musician feels totally ignored while preparing a fresh album release at age seventy-four. He struggles to grasp why broadcasters seemingly blacklisted his entire catalog lately. Chipanga insists his tracks support development rather than pushing specific political agendas.
He argues that listeners misunderstand his lyrics completely. The artist claims excitement about seeing Manicaland grow with new infrastructure everywhere. He believes he earned way more respect than the industry currently gives him. The singer genuinely wants answers regarding why the airwaves went silent on his work.
Promoters still get love for booking him...
Zimbabwe just dodged a massive weather bullet with that new cyclone spinning uselessly offshore. The local weather office confirmed that Cyclone Dudzai poses zero threat to the country despite the scary label. Forecaster James Ngoma promised his team would keep watching the system while it drifts harmlessly away. This system marks the fifth major storm of the current rainfall season but lacks the energy to make landfall.
Most of these storms barely did anything this year anyway. The first three systems, dubbed Awol, Blossom, and Chenge, all fizzled out in the ocean before causing real trouble. Even the fourth one, called Grant, started near Australia and died before it could reach the mainland. Ngoma noted that none of those previous...
Gerald Gumede scammed a lecturer while pretending to be an intelligence officer and got busted. The twenty-four-year-old from Highlands tricked his victim into providing free housing and upkeep for months. He claimed he needed space for defense personnel and promised to help the teacher get hired by the military. Gumede even dragged the poor guy to Josiah Magama Tongogara Barracks to sell the lie.
Police raided his spot earlier this month and found a Zimbabwe National Army camouflage blanket he had no business keeping. Prosecutors proved he used the fake rank just to leech off the victim between late last year and this month. The scam involved collecting educational certificates and name-dropping contacts in the President's Department...
Two dudes got busted after a brutal trap killed a driver in Limpopo. Police grabbed the pair linked to stabbing Philip Mabusha while he sat in a red Ford Ranger near Westenburg. Officers discovered him slumped behind the wheel with nasty chest wounds on a gravel road around the Ivydale area. Paramedics arrived fast but pronounced him gone immediately.
Spokesperson Hlulani Mashaba hinted that the attackers lured Mabusha there to discuss price quotes before things went south. Nobody knows exactly what happened right before the violence started. Angry locals actually caught one suspect and beat him up pretty badly before cops showed up to intervene.
That injured guy remains stuck in a hospital bed under guard, while the second dude got...
Luke Malaba refuses to quit working despite his time almost being up completely. The Chief Justice decided he stays put in Harare until he absolutely has to leave office. He reportedly skipped his scheduled break because walking away means his reign effectively ends immediately. He even led the recent legal year opening ceremony himself instead of letting anyone else take the spotlight.
Rumors suggested Supreme Court judge Rita Makarau stood ready to replace him for that big event. Malaba seemingly ignored that plan to keep his seat warm a little longer. He hits the mandatory age limit pretty soon and officially steps down then. Staying active prevents the transition from happening before the clock officially runs out on his extension...
