Zimbabwe wants drivers to take new road tests soon. A car testing official named Bumhira shared this plan with police last Thursday. The country gave out plastic license cards last year instead of metal ones. These new cards last five years, but the old metal ones never ran out. Officials worry that people look different as they age or need glasses they never used before.
All drivers must prove they can still drive safely through fresh tests. Your face might change over time from the picture on your card. You might wear glasses you never needed when you first passed. The testing office runs everything on computers these days. Drivers should take new tests before their cards expire to avoid problems later.
The plastic cards work across...
Six people went to court for lying about T-shirts to avoid taxes. They told officials that cloth shirts were farm water pipes instead, which helped them skip almost $79,000 in taxes. The group included two tax workers, two business owners, a truck driver, and a shipping helper.
They changed papers to make 17 tons of shirts look like farm gear. The shirts came from Slovenia, but papers claimed China sent water pipes. Farm tools, unlike clothes, enter the country tax-free. Tax officers never checked inside the boxes when they arrived. The shirts went to a farm, where workers took them out without paying any money to the government.
A judge locked all six people up until next Tuesday. Police said they worked together to fool the system...
A judge let the wife and brother of businessman Moses Mpofu pay $800 each to leave jail. The court held Moses, who faces charges about a failed waste gas project worth $415,000. Their company, Synlak, must answer for what happened at the Mbare site. All three will return to court on June 20 for normal check-in. The town claimed Synlak lied about selling special gear from Camda Energy.
Harare received money from Europe in 2015 to build gas generators and a power machine. Court papers say Moses worked with city leaders Phillip Pfukwa and Josephine Ncube to grab cash before finishing work. These city staff are already sitting in jail cells for the same case. The group put money into bank accounts where Vusumuzi and Nobukhosi could sign...
School head Lovemore Chabaya went to court for fraud after helping a school inspector claim money twice. The case involves Chabaya and Evershine Ndongwe, who both claimed cash for the same trip to pick up a bus. Magistrate Mkwananzi let them go home because papers were missing. The pair will return when officials send them papers.
Chabaya used to run Ngundu High before moving to another school. He arranged for nine people to travel to Bulawayo for a new bus. Chabaya stayed as a bank signer for Ngundu after he left. He approved $1,983 for the trip, with $525 set aside for himself and Ndongwe. They each took fuel money but drove just one car.
Anti-corruption officers found that Ndongwe had asked his office for the same travel money...
People with no cash face death at Parirenyatwa Hospital. One woman paid almost two hundred dollars for basic tests during her mother's stay. Hospital beds break apart. Wheelchairs barely roll. Staff ask elderly patients for seventy dollars to enter. The place seems empty of care or hope.
The same happens at Sally Mugabe Central Hospital. Family members wait in dark hallways. They watch as doctors walk past patients who cannot buy medicine. Many depend on relatives for money since hospitals offer nothing for free. Medical staff show no kindness anymore.
Government claims sound false compared to what happens inside. Deputy Health Minister Kwidini says things improve daily. He told lawmakers that citizens feel happy about hospital care...
Bulawayo faces big problems with street sellers who work without permits. These vendors spread from downtown into neighborhoods, making many areas dirty with trash. Councillor Moyo feels upset about how messy the city looks these days. She spotted garbage piles next to food sellers at the market. People sell food, cut hair, or deal with alcohol in the same spots without any rules.
Mayor Coltart wants better markets where sellers can work properly instead of just pushing them away. He says the city must give sellers good places with roofs for rain protection, clean floors, solar power for lights, fresh water, and bathrooms. The stalled Egodini Mall project needs to restart soon to help fix these issues. Bhaktas market shows promise but...
Zimbabwe wants all drivers to take new road tests. The change aims to check if people look different or need glasses since they first passed. VID official Onesimo Bumhira shared this plan at a meeting with police and transport companies. The country started using plastic driver's cards last year instead of metal ones. These new cards last five years and work across southern Africa.
Bumhira told drivers to prepare for tests before their cards expire. He said waiting until the last minute might cause problems. The VID has gone digital and updates its records daily. City planners faced questions about not having enough space for all vehicles. Police thanked bus companies for giving them a system that tracks speeding drivers. Assistant...
Milan coach Conceicao wants his players to fix mistakes before next week. His team beat Bologna 3-1 on Friday, but he saw problems to address before they meet again. The clubs face off on Wednesday in Rome for the Coppa Italia trophy. Milan already won the Supercoppa this season. Conceicao stayed quiet about his job future after the match.
Bologna boss Italiano felt his team played well except for a bad stretch late in the game. His players controlled much of the action until they fell apart near the end. Milan scored all three goals during what Italiano called a fifteen-minute blackout. He liked how his starters performed against Milan. Italiano plans to review what happened with his substitutes, who must step up for the final.
Santiago Gimenez scored twice after coming off the bench as his team defeated Bologna. He netted the equalizer at minute 73, followed by a game-winner just before time expired. His performance might earn him a starting spot against the same team in next week's Coppa Italia final.
The Mexican striker replaced Luka Jovic during the match at San Siro. When asked about starting in the upcoming final, Gimenez said he accepts whatever role his coach, Sergio Conceicao, assigns him. He believes his recent goals reflect the hard work he put in throughout the season.
Gimenez spoke humbly about his contribution, emphasizing that all squad members must stay prepared for their opportunities. He noted how every substitute can make an impact when...
