The trade showcase, which is about integrated economic landscapes, runs from April 21-26. This marks the 65th edition, which has been extended from five to six days to accommodate more business opportunities.
Hospitality Association representative Beauty Bhulu defended the prices, saying hotels depend on ZITF income to cover yearly expenses. She asked...
A will serves as a legal document that directs how a person wishes their property to be distributed after death. The individual who creates the document earns the title of testator. Their property covers possessions, tangible and intangible assets, real estate, investments, collectibles, and furnishings. A separate person is selected to manage the estate while another receives a portion of it. The discussion covers legal rules, capacity matters, freedom over property, care of dependents, instructions for signing and witnessing, making changes, effects of marriage, and secure storage.
The Wills Act governs the creation of the document and covers written testamentary instructions as well as oral statements and later modifications. The...
Dr. Loveness Ndebele from Ingutsheni Central Hospital discovered alarming drug abuse rates in Bulawayo. Her research shows that one in three men and one in five women actively abuse substances in the region. The study of 1,000 youths revealed that 63.5 percent identified as Christians from traditional churches like Baptist, SDA, and Roman Catholic. Only one participant belonged to the Apostolic sect, which typically promotes strict moral standards.
Dr. Ndebele highlighted energy drink misuse among students and drivers as a growing concern. These caffeine products disrupt sleep patterns, damage memory, and harm concentration abilities. Alcohol causes even more serious brain problems, especially in the hippocampus, where memories are...
Nigerian officials banned Eedris Abdulkareem's song "Tell Your Papa" from radio and TV stations across the country. The National Broadcasting Commission called the lyrics "inappropriate" after Abdulkareem criticized President Bola Tinubu and his son Seyi. The ban happened as many Nigerians struggled with economic hardship following reforms that started in May 2023. These changes sent food prices soaring and pushed inflation above 30 percent.
The controversial song tells Seyi Tinubu to inform his father that "people are dying" from financial problems and a lack of security. This marks the second time authorities silenced Abdulkareem's music after his 2003 track "Nigeria Jaga Jaga" faced similar restrictions but became widely popular...

EQ curves play a huge role in vinyl records despite remaining mysterious to many music enthusiasts. These standardized recording characteristics ensure that records sound great when played through stereo systems. The process involves adjusting the volume of different sound frequencies during recording and playback. Record companies apply one curve when making records and use the opposite curve during playback. This balancing act improves sound quality, allows more music per record, and reduces damage to the record grooves.
The technical terms for these opposing curves are pre-emphasis and de-emphasis. Pre-emphasis refers to frequency adjustments during recording and mastering. De-emphasis happens when the recording plays through...
Former Kakamega senator Cleophas Malala faced trouble at a Nakuru club Friday night when unknown people attacked him. His Toyota Land Cruiser suffered heavy damage during the incident. Police brought the vehicle to Nakuru Central station as they began their investigation. Witnesses say club-goers started singing anti-government songs after the DJ announced Malala's presence.
The attack happened amid controversy surrounding Malala's play, Echoes of War, which addresses Kenya's governance issues. The play became a hot topic after being disqualified from regional drama festivals, only for a High Court ruling to reinstate it.

Police officials warn Kenyans about fake recruitment posts spreading on social media. The National Police Service declared a notice about hiring constables completely false. They posted this warning on Saturday on their official X page after seeing the fraudulent announcement targeting several counties, including Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, Tana River, Garissa, Taita Taveta, Wajir, and Mandera.
The fake notice claimed to need 5,000 new police constables. It asked people with ID cards to apply through a process that seemed official. The scam notice even referenced real laws, like Article 240 of the Constitution and sections of the National Police Service Commission Act, to appear legitimate. It also tried to scare people with warnings about...
