War veteran Blessed Geza called for Zimbabweans to stay home during the Easter holidays. He wanted President Mnangagwa to resign and for corrupt officials to be arrested. His message accused top leaders of stealing national resources through shady deals. Despite these serious claims, cities remained busy on April 22, the first planned protest day. People went about their normal business as if nothing had changed.
Many might think Zimbabweans accept their suffering. The real issue was that Geza targeted the wrong audience. His YouTube videos reached only those with smartphones and data. These people still have something to lose from missing work. They have learned to live with hardship and focus on daily survival. Opposition leaders...
Rain cut short day three of the first Test between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh in Sylhet. The home team reached 194 for four at stumps, leading by 112 runs after just 44 overs of play. Blessing Muzarabani sparked Zimbabwe's attack when play finally started in the afternoon.
Muzarabani dismissed Mahmudul Hasan Joy for 33 with a short ball caught at first slip. Zimbabwe almost grabbed another wicket when Shanto edged Madhevere, but keeper Mayavo missed his second catch of the match. Victor Nyauchi later removed Mominul Haque for 47 using the short ball effectively. Captain Craig Ervine brought back Muzarabani, who troubled Mushfiqur Rahim before catching him at first slip.
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto held firm through these...

Sean Williams marked 21 years of international cricket when he played against Bangladesh in the first Test at Sylhet on Sunday. The Zimbabwe all-rounder first represented his country in February 2005, playing an ODI against South Africa. His debut proved modest—he bowled three wicketless overs for 16 runs and scored just 12 runs before being run out.
Williams started playing T20Is in November 2006 but waited until March 2013 for his Test debut against the West Indies. He has competed in 18 Tests, 162 ODIs, and 81 T20Is. His career length stands at 20 years and 55 days through April 21. Williams boasts impressive Test statistics, with a batting average of 45 and five centuries.
His ODI batting average reaches 37 with eight hundreds...
A Harare judge has freed Mai Dhuterere from court attendance requirements in her fraud case. Mr Tapiwa Banda ruled that prosecutors must use formal written notices if they want to continue the legal action against her. Mai Dhuterere, wife of famous gospel singer Mambo Dhuterere, faced claims she tricked a politician out of $16,000 last September.
Court papers say she worked with her brother to deceive the victim. She allegedly promised to buy a Toyota Hilux truck from Botswana for the politician who had saved up $16,000 for the purchase. The politician later found out no vehicle was coming his way after paying the money. The case might still go forward if prosecutors decide to issue an official summons against Mai Dhuterere.
Zimbabwe athletes are making their mark early this outdoor season with top performances that have thrilled athletics director Phakamile Lisimati.
"Our athletes have shown quite impressive performances," Lisimati said from Gwanda. Vimbai Maisvoreva ran the 400m in 50.25 seconds last weekend, ranking eighth worldwide this year. Her time beats the World Championships qualifying mark of 50.75 seconds. She might become the first Zimbabwean woman to run under 50 seconds with the national collegiate finals approaching next month.
Makanakaishe Charamba leads the world in the 200m after clocking 19.99 seconds in America on April 18. South African Sinesipho Dambile follows at 20.01 seconds. Other notable Zimbabwean sprinters include Tapiwanashe...

Pope Francis started his reign differently on March 13, 2013, picking a name that honored Saint Francis, who helped poor people. He greeted crowds with simple words: "Brothers and sisters, good evening." He wore just a white cassock instead of fancy clothes, which showed he wanted to be close to regular Catholics. He asked people to bless him before he blessed them.
Francis often taught through actions rather than words. Early in his leadership, he hugged a man with severe body deformities. He visited migrants at Lampedusa island between Tunisia and Malta. He always met with poor communities during his travels. He spent time with fellow Jesuits wherever he went. His teachings felt more personal than those of previous popes.

Actress Patricia Musafare says comedians need training workshops for success. She spoke at comedian Charles Mupalume's funeral Monday, noting he almost received a pauper's burial before a funeral company stepped in. With 40 years of experience, she believes training would help performers manage money better. She wants national arts groups to help provide learning opportunities for entertainers.
Musafare appeared in many Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation shows over her career. She remains hopeful about the future if artists work together. The actress urged comedians to earn money from their performances instead of struggling. Many talented performers never reached their potential because of piracy before social media existed. The large...
