Workers from many jobs met at ZCTU offices in Bulawayo yesterday to mark Workers Day. People came from food groups, guard unions, tax workers, vendors, energy staff, and school unions. ZCTU leader Ambrose Sibindi asked for better talks between workers, bosses, and the government. He said that when these groups fail to work together, problems start for everyone.
The event used the theme of fighting corruption and worker abuse. Sibindi pointed out that unhappy workers put less effort into their jobs. He complained that many companies pay workers less than they need to live on. The gap between what managers earn compared to regular workers makes no sense, he added.

Zimbabwe aims to put its farm goods on the world map through special labels. A meeting about these product markers started yesterday in Victoria Falls. Foreign Affairs Minister Amon Murwira will stand in for President Mnangagwa at the event today. The president will attend a funeral for Air Marshal Mandeya in Harare instead.
Local items like Mazowe Oranges and Mutoko Tomatoes could earn more money with these official marks. Justice official Vimbai Nyemba says the labels help rural communities profit from their special goods. Zimbabwe plans to join a group of 55 nations that protect each other's local products. This move lets farmers stop others from copying their unique items.
Justice Minister Ziyambi wants to update laws that protect...

Gweru City Council aims to boost Go Beer Breweries' output to 450,000 liters monthly. The brewery runs at 65 percent capacity but makes just 70-75 percent of its target. After ten years closed, the company returned with two—and five-liter packages for happy customers. The council spent $2.3 million to restart this former money-maker, which shut down in 2014 because of poor money handling.
PR manager Marie Anne Matandirotya says they want to make more beer as people ask for it. She admits they sometimes run out during busy times. The company plans better schedules, new partners, more workers, and extra packaging help. They hope to make work run smoother with these changes. They want new machines, more storage space, and a second work...
Zacc found 33 corruption cases across Midlands Province last year. Officials finished looking into 11 cases and sent them to prosecutors. Courts convicted two people, let one person go free, and threw out four cases because they lacked proof.

Gweru Residents Association leader Cornelius Selipiwe worried about how small offenders face punishment, but powerful people escape justice. He called corruption a cancer spreading through society. His group invited experts to teach people how to spot and...

Blizzard shared new plans for Overwatch 2 Stadium Mode, which players enjoy more than other game types. Fans played 2.3 million matches during launch week, twice as many as when OW Classic started. Players earned 900 billion Stadium cash and picked 206 million items. Lucio became both the most successful and the least popular hero choice.
The mode began as an eight-team contest with random upgrades for PvP Team Deathmatch or PvE against AI. Players lost health after losing rounds. Blizzard changed focus from variety to balance, letting players create powerful builds through smart choices based on everyone in the match.
An upcoming patch will adjust Stadium Mode balance after player feedback. Freya will join the mode next, with Sigma...
