The government just axed retesting rules for bus and taxi drivers. Officials removed the mandatory retesting requirement for public service vehicle operators. Transport Minister Felix Mhona announced the change, informing law enforcement agencies that the rule is no longer enforceable. PSVs include buses, taxis, and shuttles that carry paying passengers on set routes.
The state also reviewed fees charged by several transport agencies. These include the Central Vehicle Registry and the Vehicle Inspection Department. Mhona urged all drivers and transport operators to still follow every other road regulation. He stated the government wants a modern and business-friendly regulatory framework for transport.
Operators can now use a revised...
Flashy spending without explainable income leads to money laundering charges. Regai Chipanga, a forty-five-year-old Harare man, faced court for allegedly financing an extravagant lifestyle through suspicious means. He received bail set at three hundred US dollars, represented by lawyer Moffat Makuvatsine, before magistrate Jesse Kufa. Investigators focused on him after observations of multiple vehicle purchases and major renovations at his rural home in Rusape.
Authorities also noted an overly lavish wedding celebration at his residence. The CID Asset Forfeiture Unit conducted a raid, led by Detective Sergeant John Dunatuna. Officers seized a Honda Vezel, a Toyota Probox, and seven hundred dollars in cash during the search. Chipanga...
That midfielder is bouncing from the Premier League to France on a straight loan. Marshall Munetsi is set to join Paris FC from Wolverhampton Wanderers, an agreement reached without a purchase option. The Zimbabwean player fell out of favor at his English club, prompting the move. He brings significant Ligue 1 experience from his prior stint with Stade de Reims, where he made numerous appearances and contributed goals.
Paris FC sought a powerful box-to-box profile, which Munetsi fits. Coach Stéphane Gilli values his athleticism and ability to drive play forward. The newly promoted French side outmaneuvered FC Nantes, which had also negotiated for the loan. Some formal documentation must still be completed between the clubs before the...
A chief is totally blocking a new school over some major procedural drama. Chief Murinye, born Ephias Munodawafa, has challenged the operation of Riverton Academy Murinye Extension, a private boarding school in his area. He wrote to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, arguing the facility was built without proper approval. The chief made headlines after physically preventing learners from entering, calling the school illegal and unregulated.
The school is owned by Masvingo businessman Philemon Mutangiri. Chief Murinye claims he faced intimidation from military personnel over his protest. He stated that an army commander aggressively ordered him to close his copy of the Constitution during a meeting. Mutangiri alleges the traditional leader...
The state just seized a sweet ride and some property from a bunch of guys tied to a telecom parastatal. A High Court in Harare granted a civil forfeiture order against former NetOne cashier Daniel Kalira and four other individuals. The Prosecutor General's application argued the assets were proceeds of unlawful activities. The court agreed, forcing the forfeiture of a Toyota Hilux Double Cab and a share in a Mandara Township stand.
The National Prosecuting Authority outlined the case, linking Kalira directly to the government-owned mobile network operator. Other respondents were connected through property ownership and registration details. The judgment orders those involved to sign documents transferring the assets to the state. If...
The exam results are finally dropping, ending that nerve-wracking wait. Officials announced the release of the ZIMSEC Ordinary Level results. The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Torerayi Moyo, confirmed the update, commending the examination council for its professionalism and transparency. He described the release as a key moment for the academic calendar and a sign of a strengthened education sector.

Traffic is a total nightmare because a second bridge is still not done. Officials in Masvingo Province admit motorists and residents are furious over the unfinished crossing over the Mucheke River. Permanent Secretary Addmore Pazvakavambwa acknowledged the frustration, blaming weather delays and promising pressure on the contractor, Masimba Construction. Only one bridge currently connects the central business district to the southern and western suburbs, also serving as the main route to Beitbridge.
Police have to direct vehicles for extended daily periods to manage severe congestion. Thousands of cars use the single route each day. Masvingo Urban MP Martin Mureri accused the company of sleeping on the job and cited a total lack of...
Harare's trying to get people to pay up by offering a discount. The city announced that ratepayers could see their bills cut by twenty percent for clearing outstanding balances during a limited period. Mayor Jacob Mafume stated the goal is to boost revenue, which he called essential for basic services. The municipality is apparently owed over ZWG 8.4 billion, with residents responsible for most of that debt.
This massive shortfall has cratered service delivery. Mafume noted recent performance metrics averaged just fifty-two percent, far below acceptable standards for a capital. To encourage payment, the city will also give extra benefits for settlements made in foreign currency. Loyalty points and account credits are on the table for...
Heads up to parents about some sketchy baby formula getting recalled. The Consumer Protection Commission issued a warning for NAN Special Pro HA Infant Formula, specifically the 800g cans with batch code 51660742F3. They found it might be contaminated with Cereulide, a nasty toxin from bacteria, which is a major food safety risk for infants.
