Minister Mhona feels sad about the five people who died when a bus flipped over near Gweru. A small child aged four lost their life among others when the driver missed a traffic circle Wednesday morning. The bus from Hungwe Coaches crashed because the driver went too fast through the roundabout. Road officers think speed caused the driver to lose control before the terrible accident happened. About twenty-one riders suffered injuries during this crash near the Fairmile Hotel.
The transport leader said this crash brings horrible pain to many families across the nation. He sent caring words to people who lost loved ones during this awful event. The survivors saw scary things that might trouble them for a long time. Mhona called it the...
Berry farming leads Zimbabwe crop success, with money jumping from $11 million to $50 million since 2020. Dutch buyers paid the most last year, taking 29 percent of all berries sold outside the country. Hong Kong came next, buying $10.9 million worth because they paid higher prices per fruit. The country started testing small berry plants in 2008 but only began selling them worldwide after 2017. Experts say next year, farmers will grow 10,000 tons as older plants make more fruit.
High bank loan costs hurt berry growers who want to sell more overseas. Zimbabwe berries taste better than others, with perfect growing times that beat other countries. Farmers hope to ship 30,000 tons yearly by 2030 if rules stay clear for business growth...
Harare City keeps taking new money from people without showing where the old cash went. Five months have passed since they started charging three extra fees, but the streets still stay dark with broken lights. Water problems continue across town despite folks paying more each bill time. The leaders opened a special bank account for these fees, but nobody sees any fixes happening around town.
Regular homes pay three dollars extra for water, with more charges for street lights. City meetings last week heard angry questions about missing services after all these payments. People from Warren Park feel cheated, paying for lights that never work on their streets. A Mabvuku woman buys water from trucks because pipes stay dry despite her...
Five warfighters ask courts to stop money deals with white farm owners. They claim President Mnangagwa made secret plans worth $3.5 billion without proper legal support. Joseph Chinguwa leads the group, saying all deals need approval from lawmakers first. The fighters wonder how officials counted the money owed for things built on seized land. The law team asks what exactly counts as farm improvements worth a cash payment.
Last month, officials gave $3.1 million to 378 farmers as the first payment from the 2020 promise. Most money comes through bonds that pay back over many years instead of cash right away. Some foreign land owners from Europe have already received $20 million because their home countries signed special papers with...
Zimbabwe health leaders tell lawmakers their patients feel happy with medical care, but many signs point otherwise. Young people leave for other countries, trying to find better jobs as nurses, where they earn higher pay. One hospital visitor tells about waiting days for cancer treatment as her sick sister suffers. Minister Machakaire posted online, asking the president to see these problems himself after visiting a sick relative. He says public outcry comes from the real hard times people face daily.
The government spends less money each year on health programs despite promises made to African Union members. Health groups report that only about ten percent of the national money goes toward medical needs instead of fifteen percent as...
Zimbabwe just marked its statehood day as young people left for other lands. The country kept good factories after the war ended, but leaders let them fall apart. Mugabe took over a strong economy but kept harsh laws against his rivals. He used these rules to hurt ZAPU members through jail time. The first leader cared more about staying powerful than making life better for regular folks.
Money spent chasing enemies could have built roads, farms, or schools. The ruling party seems busy trying to keep the president past his term limit rather than fixing broken systems. Old train tracks sit unused as trucks avoid bad roads across the nation. Other freedom fighters like the ANC or SWAPO run their countries without fighting themselves all...
Zimbabwe Steel makes a comeback as Zisco teams up with Dinson Iron to boost local metal-making. Both companies signed papers agreeing to make different products instead of fighting for sales. Dinson makes pig iron for other countries but has promised to let Zisco create certain steel types. The plan creates many jobs for local people across the Midlands area.
Minister Ndlovu told lawmakers the partnership helps both old factories like Lancashire Steel through shared work. Zisco plans to restart making burnt lime from limestone, which removes dirt from steel during making. The theft of factory parts stopped after new leaders took charge at the steel plant. Dinson already makes the raw materials that Zisco once produced before closing...
Iran plans to host Zimbabwe officials soon for trade talks in Tehran. Both nations want past agreements turned into real actions through embassy teamwork. The labor minister sent happy wishes to Zimbabwe President Mnangagwa for 45 years as a free country. He pointed out how both nations back each other during world meetings with shared views on key issues. Their friendship remains strong despite outside pressure from America.
The countries see great opportunities to collaborate in medicine, mining, farming, and health care. Both nations faced harsh rules from Western powers but learned to solve problems through home-grown skills. They moved ahead using help from nearby friends instead of rich nations. The trade meeting aims to create...
New Pope Leo spoke about world war fears Sunday from his Vatican window. The first American pope waved at huge crowds below as people cheered loudly. He reminded everyone about World War II, killing sixty million people eighty years ago. He begged world leaders to stop fighting today. He asked for peace in Ukraine and Gaza with freedom for all hostages.
People traveled far to see this Chicago-born church leader who spent years helping poor people in Peru. Groups sang songs, waiting for him to appear on the famous balcony. Leo prayed near Saint Peter's tomb before talking to the crowds outside. He told church workers he needed their help badly during these hard times. His simple ways match those of Pope Francis, who died last month at...
