Impeachment in Zimbabwe is the legal method for removing high officials from office when they are found to have behaved badly or are unable to perform their jobs. The process follows strict constitutional rules and applies to the President, Vice Presidents, judges, and government ministers. The system is set up to protect democracy and ensure that those in power are accountable for their actions. It involves thorough debates, investigations, and formal votes in Parliament. The process is difficult to trigger and requires wide support among elected officials. This text explains how impeachment works in Zimbabwe, offering details on each step and real-life examples to show how the system has been used in the past.

Fans drove rapper HOLY Ten from the stage during Bling 4's album launch Saturday. The crowd in Chitungwiza threw objects at him after growing restless. They demanded hometown favorite Voltz JT instead. This forced HOLY Ten to leave early when he realized he might be in danger.
The incident follows other public rejections. He recently fled a Kariba performance when angry fans threatened him for arriving late. During the Chitungwiza event, people threw cans at the controversial artist who has recently supported the ruling Zanu PF party. The audience chanted "NOP Makoni" - the title of his rival Voltz JT's award-winning album.
HOLY Ten has stirred up numerous controversies lately. He gave an interview criticizing many public figures...
The interior ministry announced that military leader Gen. Brice Oligui Nguema won Gabon's presidential election with more than 90% of the votes. His closest challenger, former Prime Minister Alain Bilie-By-Nze, received just 3%. Officials reported a high voter turnout of 87% among the nearly 920,000 registered voters across 3,000 polling stations.
This marks the first election since Oligui Nguema led a 2023 coup that ended the 50-year political dynasty of the Bongo family. The election holds major importance for Gabon's 2.3 million people, many of whom live in poverty despite the nation's oil wealth. Bilie-By-Nze claimed Oligui Nguema used government resources unfairly during his campaign, though officials denied these accusations...
The EU stopped funding Zimbabwe's governance programs for next year after President Mnangagwa approved a law many say threatens civil groups. The government officially published the Private Voluntary Organizations Amendment Act last Friday, making major changes to how non-profits operate.
The new rules let authorities monitor civic groups more closely. Officials can check who runs these organizations, where they receive money from, and their connections. The law creates stricter definitions for who counts as running these groups. People breaking these rules might face jail time.
Government officials can shut down organizations, take their assets, or completely dissolve groups that break these new rules. A special board with government...
Officials cleared George Russell to keep his second-place finish at the Bahrain Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver faced possible punishment after opening his rear wing outside allowed zones. Race stewards decided against penalizing him because he gained no real advantage.
Data showed Russell picked up just 0.02 seconds from using DRS but lost 0.28 seconds when he slowed down at the next corner. This self-correction likely saved him from time penalties. The investigation revealed that Russell activated DRS accidentally when trying to use the team radio, pressing the wrong button during the race.
Technical problems forced Russell to control his DRS manually after the automatic system failed. His car experienced brake troubles throughout...
Officials are investigating George Russell for using his DRS system outside designated zones. The Mercedes team had to adjust his car after discovering problems with the drag reduction system. Several other drivers faced similar rear-wing issues during the event.
Russell also experienced problems with his transponder not functioning properly. These technical difficulties might affect his final standing. The race stewards will decide after the competition whether he keeps his podium position.
Despite these challenges, Russell managed to hold off competitor Lando Norris. He crossed the finish line in second place at Bahrain International Circuit, giving Mercedes a provisional podium spot. The team anxiously awaits the official ruling...
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso claims their loss to Kaizer Chiefs stems from South Africa's lack of Video Assistant Refereeing technology. He believes the Chiefs fought hard, but the match deserved extra time since replays show Ashley du Preez appeared offside during his last-minute winning goal.
Sundowns led at halftime thanks to Teboho Mokoena's impressive free kick. Amakhosi rallied with second-half goals—Wandile Duba capitalized on Lucas Suarez's defensive error before Du Preez scored late. Cardoso acknowledged the mistake that allowed Chiefs to equalize but emphasized his team's continued composure afterward.
During his press conference, Cardoso displayed cell phone images to highlight the offside incident. He lamented...
Zimbabwe has a system for making laws that many people follow to ensure fairness and order in society. The process involves the work of two important groups of lawmakers and the President. The system gives citizens a chance to have a say in decisions that affect them and helps make sure that rules are clear and well thought out. The process starts with an idea and ends with the President signing a Bill into law.
Zimbabwe's Parliament and Senate
The law-making process begins in the national Parliament. Parliament has two parts that work together to make laws. One part is the National Assembly, and the other is the Senate. The National Assembly is where most ideas are discussed and debated. The Senate checks the work of the National...
According to US Customs, Trump spared Chinese electronics from new tariffs. The exemption covers smartphones, monitors, chips, electronic parts, and high-performance GPUs arriving after April 5.
Tech companies can breathe easier about potential cost increases. Apple makes about 90 percent of iPhones in China and keeps six weeks of inventory stateside. Consumers would have paid more when that stock ran out without this exemption. Framework already paused sales of some laptop models and cut prices on others after a separate 10 percent tariff on Taiwanese parts affected their profits.
GPU manufacturers found another tariff workaround through the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Research firm SemiAnalysis noted that graphics cards...
