Party officials say Brian Munyoro cheated during the Chiredzi East voting last month. Four people wrote to leaders claiming he brought boxes with votes already marked for Austin Phikelele, who won with 633 votes. Munyoro refused to talk when asked about these claims. He said reporters should call his boss instead. The group leader, Mavhenyengwa, denied seeing any complaint letters from voters.
Voting ran for just three hours, starting at 11 am, which left many people unable to cast ballots. Officials rushed the process, saying they needed to attend a trade fair that day. The letter claims Munyoro carried extra papers already filled out for Phikelele. Some poll watchers reportedly left their stations during this time. The complaint went...
The government warned about high pay at the National Social Security office. Leaders turned down most money offers for Dr Charles Shava, the new head boss. He has been running things since July 2022, among six people trying for the top job. The Corporate Group sent feedback about his pay to the main work office. They plan to make new rules about workers' money at this place.
The office wanted to give Shava $15,730 each month, almost half in US money. Officials ordered lower pay because rules say a worker's money cannot exceed certain limits of the company's cash. The board asked for bonus pay worth $47,280 yearly, but faces limits. Leaders also said no to free houses, school money for three kids at top schools, TV bills, home workers...
Three jailed town leaders still earn money from the Zvishavane Council after two years behind bars. These directors have been facing prison time since October 2023, but have never officially lost their jobs. The council must pay them about $108,000 when they leave jail because they remain employed. Only one real director runs the money office, while others sit locked up.
Town boss Takarangana Keta claims these criminals are on forced leave with no pay. But job experts laugh at this idea because those rules work differently in their case. Each director makes between $1000 and $1250 monthly, which adds up fast over three years. The council plans job hearings next week after waiting for court appeals to finish.
Law experts say criminal...
Gwanda people feel upset about town leaders buying fancy cars during poor service times. The local council wants six new cars, such as Toyota Fortuners, despite broken sewers, street lights, and garbage sites. Town groups asked officials to buy just two cars instead of six because of money problems. The town clerk said they plan to spread car buying across the year as cash becomes available.
She claimed these cars help workers do their jobs better for the public. Every worker has job rights that sometimes come with cars, she added. But local group leaders point to seven years without working sewage plants as proof of bad choices. The dump sits near homes where people breathe bad air each day. Workers wait for late pay packets as...
Fake body scanners trick people across the country despite health alerts. A news team found operators at a school charging five dollars per scan. These sellers claimed their machines spot diseases through hand contact with the device. Many unhappy customers end up buying useless herbs after seeing scary results. One woman told reporters the problems listed had nothing to do with her actual health.
The scan teams push people to buy treatments costing twenty to hundred dollars right after showing results. When reporters asked about booking later, sellers said they would leave for Dubai tomorrow. Health officials warn that some operators offer free first scans to frighten people with false problems. Legal medicines need proper forms...
Apple needs hundreds of tiny parts for its folding iPhone, planned for late 2026. The company works day and night testing samples from many suppliers. Samsung might make the screens based on earlier news from February. Other part makers wait for Apple to decide if their samples pass testing. One unnamed Chinese partner has already sent pieces for Apple to check.
When it arrives, this future phone will cost between $2,000 and $2,500. Apple expects fewer sales because of this high price. The mystery supplier wants these orders because they help them win future folding phone jobs. The test process goes through something called the New Product Introduction steps. Samsung prepares special screen tech that even their next Galaxy Z Fold 7...
SpaceX moved its Starship upper stage to the test area for final checks before Flight 9. The company ran two tests last month, but might have seen problems during the second one. They never shared results about that test on social media. Blue flashes appeared at the end with possible engine trouble as shown in local video footage. The ship went back to the factory for fixes after those tests.
Engineers just sent it back to test grounds much faster than expected, suggesting any problems were easy to repair. The rocket features new fuel tanks with better engines than older models. It failed during two past flight attempts, which explains why SpaceX takes extra care this time. Coast Guard notices say May 20 marks the earliest launch date...
US official Dorothy Shea warns that President Kiir might lose his right to lead South Sudan. She told UN leaders that the peace deal from 2018 faces danger. Armed groups attack ground targets with bombs, even hitting a medical center on May 3. The government keeps Vice President Machar locked up at home with other party officials. President Kiir attacks areas where the Nuer people live.
The UN Security Council voted to keep peace troops there until April 2026 as fighting grows worse. America offered the plan with support from 11 countries, but Russia, China, and Pakistan stayed neutral. Peace soldiers can use force if needed to protect regular people. They must also help deliver food and medicine to those who need it. The current...
MTN Group leaders came to Uganda for talks with top officials. Chairman Mcebisi Jonas met President Museveni at State House along with CEO Ralph Mupita. During the trip, they gathered board chairs from different MTN areas. They also hosted a dinner with government workers, rule makers, and business heads.
President Museveni asked MTN to help create jobs through farming, making things, services, and tech work. He said people with jobs buy more phones, which helps MTN sell more services. Uganda holds special meaning for MTN as its first market outside South Africa back in 1998. MTN started growing across Africa from its Uganda start.
Jonas thanked Uganda for the years of good teamwork with MTN. He said rule makers treated them fairly...
