Zimbabwe needs one agency to oversee all digital matters, says the telecom watchdog chief. Dr. Machengete told a Harare meeting that old rules cannot handle new tech changes. He wants to combine control of TV, phone, and web services under a single group.
Zimbabwe has already built 120 fast 5G towers, but country parts still lack good service. The meeting brought together tech makers, officials, and business leaders to discuss going digital faster. Many asked for quick law changes and ways to help everyone join the digital world.
The current setup has many different offices handling separate parts of tech with rules that clash or miss new problems. The proposed plan would cut wasted work and make things clearer for companies that want...
Zimbabwe firms struggle with money reports as the government pushes the Zimbabwean currency. First Mutual needs until May 31 to finish its 2024 money papers. Their auditors must review all dollar figures changed to ZiG amounts.
The central bank told all market companies in February to use ZiG for reports right away. Many businesses had switched to US dollars because most people pay with them. The bank claims ZiG deals are growing, but companies find the change hard to manage.
Delta Corporation and other large firms must redo their math despite doing most business in dollars. Auditors need extra time to check these numbers. The bank also cut the amount of foreign cash exporters can keep, causing more problems for businesses that pay...
Zimbabwean car owners need to check their Mercedes SUVs for safety problems. The Consumer Protection Commission warns about a fault in certain GLE models made between 2022 and 2025. The issue affects the vehicle's electric starter system and might cause the car to lose power without warning when driving.
South African officials flagged this problem on April 7, noting that cars went to Zimbabwe and nearby countries. Anyone with this Mercedes model should visit an authorized dealer right away for free repairs. The dangerous flaw happens when the car's computer wrongly thinks something is broken and shuts off an important part.
Car owners can call Mr. Mudereri at 0719176506 or Mr. Sibanda at 0719176473 for more details about fixing their...
Zimre Holdings made $10.33 million in profit last year, up 471% from 2023. The company did well because it spread its business across different countries and made smart insurance choices. Their insurance money jumped 24% to $61.86 million thanks to life insurance, local backup coverage, and work in Mozambique.
Their total cash flow hit $88.02 million, with most of it in US dollars. The company switched to using US dollars for all money matters in January 2024 to avoid problems with Zimbabwe's money troubles. Their assets grew to $208 million, and they gave shareholders a bigger dividend than last year.
Zimre plans to expand to Africa, list one company on the Botswana stock market, and start a real estate trust this year. They also...
Police officer Gloria Chikoko handed her Toyota Noah to a Harare businessman who never delivered the promised Mercedes-Benz. Nicholas Misodzi, 42, from Gunhill, Chinhoyi, faces fraud charges at the Harare courts alongside his company, Niro Asset Group. Two men acting as sales agents convinced Chikoko to trade her $4,100 vehicle for a luxury car that would arrive within two months.
The deal happened on May 4, 2016, when Chikoko met with Misodzi at his Harare office. After the waiting period passed, Misodzi claimed border issues held up her Mercedes at Beitbridge. He stopped answering her calls soon after, leading Chikoko to report the matter to authorities when she realized she had been tricked.

Police arrested a 54-year-old man for stealing work gear from his former job.
Howard Moyana, who lives in Eastview Phase 12, Goromonzi, faces theft charges after taking $300 worth of uniforms from Elegant Age in Harare. A court hearing left him in custody without bail.
The theft was discovered when store assistant Veronica Mapererenzano received a tip about missing items on April 5. She then went with police officers to search his home.
They found four pairs of safety shoes, two ZETDC rain suits, three work pants, and a motorcycle rain jacket at his house. Moyana allegedly took these items while working at the company.
A top South Korean expert, Lee Young-hee, just started working at Wuhan's Hubei University of Technology. He studies quantum materials there after failing to land a good job back home after retirement. The university brought him aboard last November.
