Former money chief at Banjul City Council says Mayor Rohey Lowe broke rules when she ended the city project team without asking others first. Momodou Camara told a government group Monday that the mayor acted alone in 2021 after he refused to sign a D900000 check for activities he thought seemed wrong. The team managed D3 million meant for city growth plans through money from outside sources. Camara admitted members took over D300000 as loans during holidays, which never came back to the council after the mayor disbanded their group.
The lawyer, Patrick Gomez, pointed out that skilled workers did not help choose who served on committees. He claimed this showed poor leadership throughout the system. Most contracts went to single...

Farms around Matabeleland should grow more fruits for selling beyond borders as demand keeps rising. The plant-growing business brings lots of money into Zimbabwe each year through sales abroad. Farmers raise grapes, nuts, blueberries, avocados, and citrus trees across the country. They also plant tomatoes, cabbages, leafy greens, onions, and potatoes for people to eat. Special crops like peas, beans, garlic, and hot peppers go to local markets or other countries.
Business leader Louis Herbst says growing plants matters greatly for farm growth. It helps farmers try different crops instead of just corn or tobacco, making them stronger against weather problems or price changes. The work creates many jobs throughout rural places, earning...

Police searched her bedroom last March, finding loose drugs inside plastic bags.

Flower farming helps farmers make money, says ZimTrade, the business group for trade growth. People grow plants for their pretty blooms rather than food. As the weather works well for flowers, more farmers show interest. Many countries with cheap workers choose this path. Small farms can succeed at growing flowers just like large farms do.
Small farmers usually plant corn, peanuts, beans, tomatoes, or cabbage. Food crops face problems from bugs, dry weather, or price changes. Flowers bring better pay for less land used. A small greenhouse makes more cash than an acre of corn when selling to other countries. Farms harvest flowers many times each year instead of once, like corn.
Europe buys the most flowers worldwide, with Dutch...
