Firebombing setup and missing soldiers stir buzz
Hamlet Matavire shared a theory about those property attacks against Kuda Tagwirei, John Mangudya, Tinoda Machakaire, and Wicknell Chivhayo. He thinks everything might be fake. His sources told him FAZ leaders planned these bombings themselves. They needed a reason to declare a seven-day State of Emergency. Their real target? Shutting down the M31 Movement. Matavire warns people to expect more staged events soon. He predicts shop fires will happen next. The authorities will blame all these problems on M31 activists. Reports confirmed that unknown attackers did bomb the properties of these four businessmen last night. They used cars for the attacks. The criminals poured gas on these vehicles afterward and burned them. A separate...
Sibanda in line for VP spot as Mohadi bows out
The military leadership in Zimbabwe faces big changes. General Nzvede will take over as the Zimbabwe Defence Forces Commander, replacing General Valerio Sibanda. Insiders have confirmed this move. Sources say Sibanda won't step down but move up to become Vice President instead of Kembo Mohadi. Recent events add context to these changes. During a weekend ZimEye interview, Marry Mubaiwa Chiwenga spoke highly of Mohadi. She mentioned he saved her life when a grenade exploded beneath her feet at White City Stadium. The same interview included her harsh words for ZANU PF spokesperson Chris Mutsvangwa. She claimed he used her problems for political advantage without ever speaking to her directly. Reports indicate that Mohadi won't just...

Nandutu Summoned Over Iron Sheets Mess
The Anti-Corruption court in Kampala sent criminal summons for Agnes Nandutu, who used to serve as state minister for Karamoja Affairs. She needs to answer for taking iron sheets that should have gone to people who needed them in Karamoja. Justice Jane Okuo Kajuga made this decision Friday after hearing from state attorney David Bisamunyu. He told the court Nandutu skipped her appearance even though medical reports say she can work despite being sick. Earlier, the court asked for someone to check Nandutu's health claims. The prosecution brought a full report from Nakasero Hospital showing she really is sick but can still handle work duties. The report suggested she avoid stress. The prosecution argued that her absence seemed like she...
South Sudan unrest drives refugees to Uganda
At least 85 people from South Sudan came to Uganda yesterday looking for safety. They crossed the border at Busia because fighting had started again back home. Tensions have grown between the two leaders during the past five days. President Salva Kiir claims that Vice President Riek Machar tried to take over the government. Reports say officials arrested Machar and put him under house arrest. These problems forced many South Sudanese citizens to run away, mainly women with their children. Local authorities in Koboko welcomed the newcomers. Emmy Mitala, the residence district commissioner, and Ashraf Mambo, the LC V chairperson, helped receive them. Mitala confirmed that these refugees had arrived but refused to share more details. The...
M23 Running a Bank and Keeping the Fight Alive
M23 rebels plan to create their banking system in parts of Congo they control. This move shows they want to stay put despite peace talks. The Congo government already cut off banking services in Goma and Bukavu after M23 took these cities. Government workers there must use mobile money to get paid because regular banks closed down. On Wednesday, M23 leaders said they're taking steps to build their financial system. Their president, Bertrand Bisimwa, announced several people for top jobs at their new Savings Bank of Congo. Javane Dusabe Sangano will run the bank as director general. Yves Sumbu Kasongo will become deputy director for money matters. Katembo Kanyihata will take charge of administrative and legal issues. They named three...
Forgiveness and Accountability Keep Ghana United
A Justice from the Court of Appeal in Ghana discussed balancing forgiveness with making people answer for their actions. Dr. Ernest Owusu-Dapaa shared these thoughts at a dinner event for Muslim law students last Friday. He expressed concern about growing divisions among Ghanaians and made it clear that forgiving others should not lead to lawbreaking without consequences. The judge explained that we can forgive someone yet still expect them to take responsibility for their wrongs. Forgiveness helps build stronger nations by healing rifts between people. However, he cautioned against mixing up forgiveness with letting bad actions slide. Dr. Owusu-Dapaa emphasized how forgiveness matters both ethically and under Ghana's laws. He noted...

CLOGSAG calls off strike after registrar row
CLOGSAG leaders ended their big nationwide strike last Friday after an emergency meeting. Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo said they stopped the strike to continue talking with officials about fixing their problems. He asked all Civil Service and Local Government staff to come back to work next Wednesday, April 2, 2025. These workers first left their jobs on February 20 after Samuel Adom Botchway became the Births and Deaths Registrar. CLOGSAG wanted someone already working as a civil servant to take this job. They worried about Botchway's close ties to the National Democratic Congress party currently running the country. The group believes that putting party-connected people in these jobs ruins the neutral status of civil service...
