Parliament might soon look into businessman Wicknell Chivayo over election money problems. A Kwekwe activist asked lawmakers to check how Chivayo handled cash from a $100 million voting materials deal. Emmanuel Moyo sent his request to Speaker Jacob Mudenda, pointing to rules that let Parliament watch public money use.
South African money watchers have already raised concerns about possible crimes. Their report shows Chivayo got about $40 million from R1.2 billion paid to Ren-Form CC for Zimbabwe election supplies last year. He moved this money through many bank accounts very fast, making it hard to track.
The cash went toward fancy clothes, cars, houses, electronics, and trips abroad. Several major South African banks held these...
Dynamos FC wants a top South African league coach to fix their bad season. The Zimbabwe team just added former Orlando Pirates striker Takesure Chinyama as their scoring coach on May 6. They started 2024 well with a cup win, but fell apart after league games began in March. Their record shows only two goals scored through ten matches, with just one win.
The club hopes to bring in Kaitano Tembo, an ex-Dynamos player who coached SuperSport United. Tembo works with youth teams at Sekhukhune United after head coach Lehlohonolo Seema lost his job. Talks move slowly, but club leaders still want him most. Current head coach Lloyd Chigowe keeps his job for the moment with full backing from the team.
Dynamos once ruled Zimbabwe football but...

A judge gave bail to both men accused of raping Mai Jeremaya. Thabo Blessing Dube and Martin Charlie paid $200 each to leave jail. They told the court this case came from a money fight, not rape. They claimed socialite Ashley Masendeke wanted $500 but received only $20.
The court heard how Mai Jeremaya knew their plans for the lodge visit. Defense lawyers showed how the men have stable homes, making them stay for future court dates. The state found no reasons to keep them locked up before trial. Neither man has past crimes or other current cases against them. Both must give up their passports as part of the bail terms.

Holiday Inn staff ran a surprise bomb drill yesterday morning that scared guests at the Bulawayo hotel. Alarms rang at about 10 AM, making everyone leave their rooms fast.

Many guests felt angry about not being told ahead of time. Safety experts questioned whether the hotel should have warned people before...
Prosecutors explained why they brought only rape charges against two men accused of attacking socialite Mai Jeremaya. The court asked them about missing aggravated indecent assault charges despite claims that the men forced oral sex acts. Thabo Blessing Dube, 27, and Martin Charlie, 25, came before the court Monday after weekend arrests.
The state agreed oral acts could qualify as aggravated indecent assault, but argued everything happened during one event. They said the main aim seemed to be rape, making it logical to treat all acts as a single offense. Adding more charges would make the case harder to handle, prosecutors told Magistrate Marewanazvo Gofa. The same evidence would prove both crimes, they noted. They believed separate...

People expressed anger after Deputy Health Minister Kwidini dismissed complaints about Zimbabwe hospitals. He claimed the health ministry has done amazing work since 2018 despite criticism.

Many citizens fired back with sarcastic comments online.
Social media users rejected these claims with fierce responses. One person wrote that common sense runs faster than the minister can catch it. Another asked which citizens felt happy with health services that nobody else knows about. Someone joked that patients in comas cannot speak about hospital quality. His statements...
