Highlanders coach irked by soft goals
Bosso coach Kaindu is upset about his team's letting in easy goals. He thinks their defense must improve before facing CAPS United this Sunday at Barbourfields Stadium. The team wants to win its first championship since 2006, when club legend Methembe Ndlovu led them. They score well but keep making mistakes at the back, which costs them points. Defender Andrew Mbeba might miss the upcoming match after being carried off injured during their last game against Triangle United. The coach waits for medical updates, as Mbeba hasn't returned to training. Both teams need a win badly since neither started the season well. Highlanders collected six points from five games compared to CAPS United's four points. These rivals played exciting...
Africa Must Step Up to Shape its Future
Africa must step up for itself instead of waiting for others. The continent holds almost every mineral, grows all crops, and has four huge rivers plus massive energy resources. Countries across Africa keep improving their education systems as people eagerly seek better skills. Everything needed already exists there—raw materials, farming potential, and energy sources—but they are often left as unprocessed exports. Many talented Africans head overseas seeking opportunities they should find at home. No single African nation has everything needed for fast growth since most countries remain small. President Mnangagwa highlighted this at a recent development forum, where he said progress won't just happen automatically. Climate change...

VP Chiwenga Lights Flame for 45th Independence Day
VP Chiwenga lit up the Independence Flame yesterday at Mtapa Hall in Gweru. The flame will tour the Midlands districts before reaching Nembudziya Open Grounds for April 18 celebrations. He called the flame a lasting symbol of Zimbabwe's struggle. This major event marks the 45th independence anniversary under the theme of developing together for Vision 2030. The Vice President talked about Mtapa Hall, where Zanu held its first Congress in 1964. He reminded everyone that Zanu formed earlier, in August 1963, at Enos Nkala's home after splitting from Zapu. They later joined together again under the Unity Accord in December 1987. The VP stressed that people from all parts of Zimbabwe must stay united as one nation. Chiwenga described that...
UN deputy says Africa must walk the talk
According to UN Deputy Secretary General Amina Mohammed, Africa needs action instead of just talk. She spoke at the Africa Regional Forum meeting about opportunities facing the continent. With only five years left to reach UN development goals, African countries must step up. The UN leader praised Africa's leadership and innovation across many areas. Despite challenges, she believes Africa stands at a moment filled with massive possibilities. Mohammed pointed out that Africa had nine of the world's fastest-growing economies last year despite global problems. She highlighted progress against HIV/AIDS as proof that things improve. Zimbabwe reached important targets, with 98 percent of people knowing their status. But debt weighs down...
MPs snag residential stands as one time perk
MPs from recent parliaments started getting residential land under a government plan created for their welfare. These legislators must pay for the stands but at reduced prices. The benefit happens only once as part of their service package. This program began back in 2013 through teamwork between Local Government Ministry officials and Parliament leaders. The stands come from urban areas plus places just outside cities. The government has given MPs other benefits beyond just land parcels. These include car loans and better office equipment for constituency work. Additional support comes through development funds that help local projects. Zanu PF chief whip Togarepi mentioned that this saves money because fewer MPs need hotel stays...
Mnangagwa says accountants key to Zimbabwe progress
President Mnangagwa told accountants they must guard national resources. He spoke at the Chartered Accountants Conference in Harare yesterday. The President said these number crunchers help businesses grow through accurate record-keeping. He wants them to support digital changes across Zimbabwe. Their financial know-how should make companies more competitive. The President warned that every dollar spent needs proper tracking. He called accountants "architects of economic transformation," not just record-keepers. He demanded stronger rules for the accounting profession. Any loopholes allowing money tricks must disappear completely. Zimbabwe cannot handle financial report manipulation or tax dodging. Mnangagwa stressed that only...
Samsung bets on 1nm chips to catch up with TSMC
Samsung wants to make super tiny 1nm chips starting in 2029. They're skipping ahead despite problems with their current 3nm and 2nm tech. A special team will handle this next-gen technology when production begins six years from today. Their recent GAA processes haven't worked as well as expected, causing delays for the 2nm node until 2025. Rival company TSMC already accepts orders for 2nm chips, putting Samsung under pressure. Earlier this year, rumors suggested that Samsung had abandoned its 1.4nm process plans to focus on 2nm development. But apparently, they're charging full steam ahead toward 1nm instead. The company needs to buy advanced EUV equipment as part of this ambitious project. Success could mean Samsung produces some of...
