NamWater spent N$15 million fixing water pipes across southern Namibia during the past financial year. Residents around Keetmanshoop, Lüderitz, and Bethanie continue to face water headaches from broken pipes and pump station breakdowns.
Water utility spokesperson Lot Ndamanomhata admits the corporation battles aging infrastructure everywhere. They work hard replacing pipelines and scrambling to patch up critical water systems before total collapse. Local communities suffer constant interruptions that mess up daily life.
Sam Barnard from Keetmanshoop complained about surprise water cuts, which left people scrambling. Elderly residents struggled to climb hills to grab water from municipal trucks. No warnings came through when the water...
Two suspected criminals terrorized Bulawayo during a wild night of crime. Clifford Nare and Mandlenkosi Munangati shocked local courts when prosecutors detailed their brazen robbery rampage. Their criminal crew targeted multiple locations around the city starting on 22 March.
The gang first hit Pure Gas Funeral Parlour using serious firepower. They wielded two pistols, a rifle, and a knife, disarming guards, beating them, and tying them up before stealing a valuable shotgun. Their second target became an unlucky motorist whom they carjacked and trapped inside the vehicle's trunk.
Their final stop involved the DA Garage, where they robbed three fuel station workers of cash. Authorities quickly arrested Nare and Munangati, who were...
Most businesses across Zimbabwe continued operations yesterday, effectively ignoring war veteran Blessed Geza's call for an indefinite national shutdown demanding President Emmerson Mnangagwa's resignation.
Economic analysts predicted the stayaway would struggle due to Zimbabwe's highly informal labor market, where approximately 70% of workers operate outside traditional employment structures. The government strengthened its position by mandating civil servants attend work and complete attendance registers, characterizing participation in the shutdown as unpatriotic and insubordinate.
Retail organizations like the Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers emphasized their commitment to uninterrupted service delivery. They urged citizens to...
A prominent journalist's legal battle has been delayed after state prosecutors revealed critical gaps in their case documentation. Blessed Mhlanga from Alpha Media Holdings faces charges related to allegedly inflammatory online videos posted earlier this year. Court proceedings were adjourned until April 30 due to missing witness statements and the investigating officer's current deployment outside the local jurisdiction.
Prosecutors claim Mhlanga recorded and shared YouTube videos on January 27 and February 11 that potentially aimed to provoke public disorder. Mhlanga has consistently denied the accusations against him. The case will resume at the end of the month pending the completion of necessary court file documentation.
Swapo landed itself in hot water as it held its 65th birthday bash. Political watchers are calling out the party for failing to address major citizen needs. Housing shortages continue to plague ordinary people despite decades of promises. The liberation movement that once fought for freedom now struggles to deliver basic services to Namibians.
Government leaders claim they have made progress, but citizens tell a different story. Unemployment remains sky high, and economic opportunities look slim for young people. Some party members admit they have fallen short of their ambitious development plans. Critics argue that inherited apartheid systems continue blocking meaningful transformation.
Party youth leader Ephraim Nekongo tried...
Local hero meets tragic end after short battle with mystery illness. Kembo Mohadi showed up at the funeral alongside hundreds of mourners who came to say goodbye to Mina Mine Mbedzi from Beitbridge. The respected leader passed away at United Bulawayo Hospitals at just 57 years old, leaving behind a powerful legacy of community service.
Tribal leaders praised him as a champion for environmental protection and community development.

During his short five-year leadership, he managed to upgrade a school, build a community hall, and create a special shelter for mothers at the local clinic...
A bitter custody battle erupted between ex-spouses Paul Makonesi and Nomazulu Ndlovu after Makonesi allegedly kidnapped their child from a boarding school. The Harare Civil Court dismissed Makonesi's application for a protection order against Ndlovu, emphasizing he must first address kidnapping charges.
Ndlovu emotionally testified that Makonesi has tormented her since their divorce 12 years ago. She claimed he took three children to his rural home and kidnapped their youngest from a Bulawayo school. The mother accused her ex-husband of potentially subjecting their children to mistreatment and ritual harm.
Makonesi countered that Ndlovu was harassing him and his new girlfriend. He alleged she created a scene at his home, assaulted his...

Cardinal Kevin Ferrell announced Francis returned to the Father at 7:35 that morning, marking the end of his spiritual leadership.
