Matabeleland South farmers have started growing tobacco. 122 small growers produce Natural Cured Virginia tobacco across 84 hectares. Atlas Agri Private Limited signed contracts with these farmers to expand production beyond traditional areas like Manicaland, Midlands, and Mashonaland. The Tobacco Industry Marketing Board says this change helps spread farming wealth to new regions. This expansion supports government plans for economic growth across all provinces.
Atlas Agri established a local sales floor approved by TIMB for farmers to sell their crops nearby. Emmanuel Matsvaire from TIMB believes shorter travel distances save money for growers. Natural-cured Virginia tobacco needs no firewood or coal because farmers use sunshades and...
Pope Francis died Monday at 88 years old from a stroke and a heart attack. Catholic leaders decided his funeral will happen on Saturday in St Peter's Square. Many world leaders plan to attend the service for the first Latin American pope, who often disagreed with conservatives and stood up for poor people. The pope had been sick with pneumonia earlier this year but seemed to feel better after returning to the Vatican about a month ago.
The Vatican showed pictures of Francis lying in a wooden coffin inside the Santa Marta residence chapel, where he lived during his 12-year leadership. Cardinals will lead a procession Wednesday morning, taking his body into St Peter's Basilica, where people can say goodbye. President Donald Trump will...
The Zimbabwe government faces a huge scandal about illegal gold payments. Letters show how almost $100 million was paid to Gaingrid Investments, a company with ties to a Zanu PF gold dealer close to President Mnangagwa. Treasury official George Guvamatanga allegedly mismanaged public money through this shady deal. The secret arrangement came after the government hired Gaingrid to purchase gold for national reserves.
War veterans leader Blessed Geza states Gaingrid connects to MP Scott Sakupwanya, who has strong links to the president. Nobody knows who actually runs this mystery company, despite clear payment records existing. The company received a massive contract to buy gold from miners across Zimbabwe. They earned a 5% reward from...

Samsung might not use its Exynos 2500 chip in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 after all. The phone reportedly passed tests with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite instead. This means Samsung may pay more for parts than planned. The company wanted to cut costs with its home-made chip, but its factory seems unable to make enough Exynos 2500 units.
The high demand for Snapdragon chips puts Samsung in a tough spot. If the Z Flip 7 uses Snapdragon, the Z Fold 7 will likely have it as well. This raises questions about how Samsung will handle pricing. They face a hard choice between smaller profits and higher prices for customers. Neither option looks great for the company right now.
We still need to consider this news carefully, as nothing has been...
Meta faces pressure from the FTC as it goes through an antitrust trial. The company showed internal messages from 2022 revealing concerns about Facebook losing appeal with young users. These documents highlight how executives worry about staying relevant in today's social media landscape.
Facebook once ruled social media platforms with its unique format. Today, users prefer content from creators rather than updates from friends. Mark Zuckerberg expressed fears that the "Friends" model seems outdated compared to creator-focused apps like TikTok. The traditional structure might limit Facebook's growth potential.
Even in 2025, Meta struggles to make Facebook culturally important again. During January's earnings call, leaders discussed...
