ZAS backs big scholarship push for new farmers
The Zimbabwe Agricultural Society signed a deal with the government to help farmers grow more crops. They agreed to run two main programs together. The first is training for active farmers who need better skills. The second is college money for new people entering farming careers. The agricultural society thinks this could be the biggest farm scholarship program ever seen in Zimbabwe. They want to support farm colleges because these places teach important lessons. Students learn how to manage farms through hands-on practice instead of just reading books. This creates real farmers ready for field work. The Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Rural Development represents the government side of this partnership. Both...

Small miners cash in on five percent gold bonus
The government created a 5 percent reward for gold miners to stop smuggling and help formalize more than one million small operations. Political expert Dereck Goto said on X that people misunderstood the letter from Finance Secretary George Guvamatanga dated September 4, 2024. He explained that this payment to Gaingrid Investments represents official policy rather than corruption. The company buys gold from miners to deliver to Fidelity Gold Refinery. These actions aim to strengthen Zimbabwe's gold reserves, which support a stable local currency. Officials recently changed rules to let smaller miners join the program. They lowered the amount needed from 20kg down to just half a kilogram of gold. This change allows even tiny operations...
Rev Musindo says ignore Geza shutdown call
Pastor Obadiah Musindo from Destiny for Afrika Network attacked Blessed Geza, who wants people to stay home today. He called Geza crazy for asking everyone to join a nationwide shutdown. Musindo thinks normal citizens should ignore this call completely. He says Geza admitted to killing people before, which makes him dangerous. Musindo reminds everyone that Geza has no right to tell Zimbabweans what to do since he doesn't feed them. He wants all shops to open because many people work for themselves. Most families need money after spending during the Easter holidays. Musindo believes foreign countries like America control Geza. He claims these nations found someone new after other opposition leaders failed. Musindo compares Geza to...
