Businessman Tagwirei set for top Zanu PF role
The Zanu PF leadership in Harare wants businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei to join their Central Committee. The Central Committee serves as the party's top decision-making body when Congress isn't meeting. It handles implementing policies and directives passed by the larger group. Tagwirei stands out as a heavyweight business player with investments sprawling across energy, mining, transportation, construction, and agriculture. He founded and runs Sakunda Holdings Group, a major petroleum company that has steadily expanded its reach across Zimbabwe's economic landscape. During a provincial meeting, Godwills Masimirembwa explained that party members recommended Tagwirei for membership. They view him as a strategic thinker who could boost...
Govt Takes Over Idle Land After Court Ruling
A landmark High Court ruling just revealed how land barons and institutions have been snagging unclaimed land across Zimbabwe since independence. The decision basically gives the government a powerful weapon to reclaim idle properties. Justice Pisirai Kwenda dropped a bombshell that could totally reshape land ownership. The ruling forces the Surveyor General to hand over maps and diagrams of land parcels when the state requests them, making it easier to register titles under the Deeds Registry Act. Prosecutor-General Loyce Matanda-Moyo initiated the legal action after a whistleblower tipped her off about a suspicious plot of land in Waterfalls, Harare. Her investigation revealed that the property was registered in 1977 but never...

Women Score Free Health Checkups in Harare
Over a hundred women, including media professionals, scored free health screenings targeting critical conditions like endometriosis, diabetes, hypertension, and breast cancer. The comprehensive health initiative emerged from private sector efforts supporting government wellness programs.

The screenings happened at ZIFM Stereo Gardens in Harare last Friday. Dr. Admore Jokwiro, ZimSmart Villages' chief medical officer, explained that their mission was to democratize healthcare through cutting-edge telehealth and artificial intelligence...
Simba Bhora Coach Stays Cool as Team Slips
Coach Joel Luphahla isn't hitting the panic button despite Simba Bhora's rough football ride. The defending champs look nothing like last season's powerhouse after stumbling to a frustrating one-nil loss against Dynamos at Rufaro Stadium. Four matches into their season, Simba Bhora sits in twelfth place with a measly five points out of twelve possible. Their offensive game looks completely broken. Thanks to Namibian forward Isakar Gurirab, they've only managed to score a single goal. Luphahla believes his team will bounce back. He knows some players joined late after a South African pre-season tour, and they're still finding their rhythm. The coach admits their goal-scoring problems are serious. Their fans traveled from Shamva and...
Manicaland stays chill, protests fail to stir trouble
Manicaland stayed rock-solid calm on Monday, with businesses and everyday life cruising along normally despite some wannabe troublemakers trying to spark protests. Their attempts to trick people into hitting the streets totally flopped. Major towns like Mutare, Rusape, Chipinge, Nyanga, and Murambinda kept humming along. Shops, markets, and public services ran without a hiccup, showing just how tough the province's people can be. Locals basically gave those protest callers a big collective shrug. ZANU PF Central Committee member Getrude Mutandi rolled through Mutare and confirmed everything was chill. She emphasized how Manicaland stands firm against anyone trying to mess with their peace and progress. Transport hubs buzzed with...
Zimbabwe Chooses Chill Over Protest Fuss
Peace matters a lot. It's the rocket fuel that powers national growth and keeps everything running smoothly. When life stays calm, businesses boom, and people can actually make progress. Yesterday's protest attempt crashed and burned completely. Sure, people have the right to speak up, but causing chaos helps nobody. Right before Zimbabwe's 45th independence celebration, stirring up trouble feels like a slap in the face to everything the country fought for. President Mnangagwa wasn't having any of it. He basically told everyone to chill out and ignore the troublemakers. Most Zimbabweans listened. Businesses stayed open, workers showed up, and life rolled on like normal. The whole country basically gave those protest organizers a...
