Police caught three more people tied to MP Were's killing. They grabbed a government board member off a Nakuru road after others named him. The driver and bodyguard also face questions because their stories did not match up. Tests proved that one gun found in Tuesday's raids shot the lawmaker. These people should have kept him safe, said Minister Murkomen.
Officers raided homes in Kayole and found the murder gun, with shoes and a bag seen on camera. The weapon left five bullets in Were, ripping through his heart. Before killing Were, someone used this same gun in three area crimes. The MP died April 30 near City Mortuary when stuck in traffic. Both the driver and guard lived through the attack without harm.
The shooter ran to a...
CCC head Welshman Ncube asked courts to help him take back control from Sengezo Tshabangu. He wants judges to cancel a ruling that said party leaders stayed past their time. Tshabangu went to court saying all CCC leaders should leave because their terms ended last May. He also tried to stop the party from kicking him out. The case named several party officials as targets.
Ncube claims Judge Zimba-Dube gave Tshabangu a win just because of paper filing errors. The court acted like nobody showed up to defend the party, even though lawyers came. Ncube said he made mistakes with his court papers because he felt rushed from other cases. He told the court his team worked hard but missed some steps because they were busy. He thinks he can win...
A Harare court granted Tapiwa Chasumba protection from his ex-wife, who wants physical relations despite their 13-year separation. Margaret Mayemeka insists they remain legally married and should resume intimate relations. Chasumba told Magistrate Meenal Narotam he had already started another family and sees her demands as abuse.
Chasumba expressed shock at Mayemeka claiming they never divorced after such a long time apart. He stated he cannot betray his current wife and asked the court to stop his ex from forcing herself on him. He mentioned Mayemeka had remarried and divorced again since their separation, making her claims to be his wife invalid.
Mayemeka denied disturbing his peace or visiting his home. She did not oppose the...
A Kwekwe activist asked Parliament to investigate businessman Wicknell Chivayo over a $100 million ZEC tender. Emmanuel Moyo sent his request to Speaker Jacob Mudenda, asking lawmakers to check how Chivayo's companies used public money. He based his request on parts of the Constitution that let Parliament watch over state resources. Moyo pointed to a South African Financial Intelligence Centre report that raised concerns about possible illegal money moves.
The South African report shows Chivayo got about $40 million from the $66 million paid to Ren-Form CC for election materials used in Zimbabwe's 2023 vote. According to the report, he moved money through many accounts with fast transfers at FNB, Standard Bank, and Absa. The cash went...
Two masked men stole over $5000 from a Bulawayo shop on Monday morning. They entered the busy Kelvin Industrial supermarket around 11 am with a gun, forcing everyone to lie on the floor. The armed pair took $4600 from the registers before heading to the office. They made a manager hand over safe keys, taking another $417 and R250 before escaping.
Police spokesperson Inspector Msebele said the robbers left in a silver Honda Fit without license plates. The local community feels scared after this daytime attack. Officers ask anyone with helpful information to contact the police stations nearby. Authorities also warn businesses against keeping large cash amounts on site. Police continue searching for these dangerous suspects who remain...
Officials finished judging which companies will fix the Victoria Falls Road. The government plans to name these companies soon as part of its open process. Workers will repair the 435km Bulawayo-Victoria Falls Road that leads to the famous waterfall. Eight construction firms will share the job, with each one handling about 50km of road. They expect to complete all repairs within 13 months at most.
Transport Minister Felix Mhona promised that the government wants to solve road problems across Zimbabwe with clear methods. He talked about other road projects happening right now throughout the country. These projects include work on the Harare-Beitbridge Road, which connects major cities. The Mbudzi traffic circle in Harare also needs...
Sources say President Mnangagwa put friends in top security jobs to keep his power. He picked former spy chief Tapfumaneyi as army leader, with a rank boost coming soon. Tapfumaneyi once ran secret groups that helped Mnangagwa win votes but scared people at polling places. He does not like Vice President Chiwenga at all, making him perfect for Mnangagwa's plans.
The president also named new spy chiefs throughout the government. Paul Chikawa will handle foreign spies as Benadate Mandongwe takes over office tasks. The old office manager became an ambassador far away in Cuba instead. Another spy leader lost his job completely, moving to a much smaller drug control office. Mnangagwa already replaced the main spy chief with Dr Mangwanya...
Holiday Inn guests fled the Bulawayo hotel on Wednesday when staff announced a bomb threat. Police officers rushed inside as workers guided people outside, where an ambulance waited. Army bomb experts came quickly to search for danger throughout the building.
Manager Nkosi Moyo later told reporters it was just a planned test. The hotel must run these safety drills every six months to meet safety rules. Staff cleared all rooms within ten minutes as they practiced what to do during real emergencies. The entire process lasted just 23 minutes before everyone returned indoors. Moyo thanked everyone for helping make the exercise successful.
The drill tests how staff handle fires, bombs, or other problems that might happen. Many guests felt...
A Harare court gave two men bail of $200 each after rape claims from Ashley Masendeke. Magistrate Gofa decided they might not run away, based on what the state said. The pair, Dube and Charlie, must come back to court June 5 as police finish their work. Lawyers for the state did not fight against letting them out on bail during the hearing.
Dube tells the court he never raped anyone at all. Charlie says they had sex because she agreed to it for $20. The state claims Masendeke later asked for $500 instead, which both men said no to. People know Masendeke as Mai Jeremeya among her friends. The case stays open as police gather more proof about what really happened that night.
