Elder returns to ruined Khartoum home
The early light spread across the city as Abdulilah Mohamed walked back to where he once lived in Sharg Elnil, Khartoum. He came home after running away from the civil war that tore through Sudan. Broken streets led him to what remained of his house, barely standing after two years of fighting between Sudan's army and the RSF forces. The sight made his heart heavy. "They took everything. They broke everything," he said about the RSF as he looked at his damaged walls and scattered family items. Mohamed explained he came first to check if his loved ones could return safely. He wanted to see the truth before his family arrived, unprepared for what they might find. The war had changed everything about the place they once called home...

Mutsvangwa calls out Muswere for early party results
ZANU PF boss Christopher Mutsvangwa just slammed Information Minister Jenfan Muswere for talking out of turn about party election results. Mutsvangwa sent an angry message to Muswere on April 7 because the minister went on TV and told everyone who won the Women's League vote in Manicaland province. The big problem? Nobody permitted him to share those results before party leaders checked them first. Mutsvangwa made it clear that government ministers cannot discuss internal ZANU PF business unless his department says it's okay. He wrote that Muswere's announcement broke the rules and tried to skip important steps in how the party handles election results. The statement basically said Muswere wanted to bypass normal talks with party...
Mnangagwa eyes Kasukuwere in crackdown on dissent
President Mnangagwa has stepped up his fight against political rivals, with former Cabinet minister Saviour Kasukuwere at the top of his hit list. The president fears a plot to push him out of power might succeed if he doesn't act fast. Secret sources say Mnangagwa believes Kasukuwere helps run something called the "March 31 Movement" from behind the scenes. War veterans leader Blessed Geza speaks for this group in public, but insiders claim Vice-President Chiwenga actually pulls the strings. Mnangagwa thinks Chiwenga wants his job. The president sees former allies like Kasukuwere as dangerous planners who must be stopped right away. Security teams loyal to Mnangagwa have orders to find Kasukuwere no matter what. Kasukuwere lives in...
Parliament on pause as impeachment looms
Zimbabwe faces a major political storm after President Mnangagwa closed Parliament completely. Many people think he did this because lawmakers planned to start removing him from office. The trouble began Tuesday when the Deputy Speaker rushed into Parliament and stopped all work before anyone could even read what they planned to discuss that day. She seems very loyal to Mnangagwa and his future plans for the country. According to people who were there, she pushed aside the acting Speaker just in time to block talk about kicking the President out of his job. The secret bill came from both unhappy members of the ruling ZANU-PF party and opposition politicians working together. No one has seen exactly what it says, but sources claim it...
KLM Cargo trims Africa freighter service, drops Harare route
KLM-Martinair Cargo has cut back its Africa flights for the 2025 summer season. The Dutch airline stopped all trips to Harare and reduced weekly flights to Johannesburg and Nairobi from five to three. Their big Boeing 747 cargo planes no longer land in Zimbabwe at all. The company made these changes because very few goods moved through Harare airport, plus they faced constant repair and support problems there. Tiger Freight boss Pim de Wit discussed the many problems they had with Harare flights. He mentioned that two-day delays happened often, schedules kept changing, and flights got canceled at the last minute. All these issues made regular service almost impossible for customers who needed their goods moved on time. The airline...
Ex Deputy says Ruto runs RSF gold game
Rigathi Gachagua has recently made big claims against President Ruto. The former Deputy President says Ruto secretly controls Sudan's Rapid Support Forces through gold deals with RSF leader Mohamed Hemedti. Gachagua told KTN viewers that Ruto helps clean money from gold sales to buy weapons for the group. The RSF has fought Sudan's army for two years, causing massive suffering across the country. Gachagua shared how Ruto first asked him to invite Hemedti because presidents can only welcome other presidents directly. He signed the first invitation but later found out about hidden business deals between them. When asked to set up a second visit, Gachagua refused because many countries have banned Hemedti for starting a war that killed...
Biti Denounces Mnangagwa Plan as Crony Driven Corruption
Tendai Biti said no to what President Mnangagwa calls his "2030 agenda." He sees this plan as just a way for thieves to keep their stolen money safe. War hero Blessed 'Bomshell' Geza points out many bad people around the president who push for him to stay past normal terms. These friends include Kuda Tagwirei, Wicknell Chivayo, Obey Chimuka, Scott Sakupwanya, plus top money men Mthuli Ncube, George Guvamatanga, and former bank boss John Mangudya. Geza thinks Mnangagwa wants Tagwirei to become president next. This goes against what Deputy President Chiwenga hopes for himself. Tagwirei has started climbing up the party ladder after Harare leaders named him for the Central Committee - a very powerful group inside Zanu PF. Biti stands...
Zimbabwe Cuts Diesel and Petrol Prices Slightly
Gas prices in Zimbabwe went down a tiny bit this month. The energy boss, ZERA, said diesel costs 3 cents less, and petrol dropped 2 cents lower. These new prices started April 4 and last until May 4, 2025. ZERA uses something called M-1 rules when it changes prices each month. You can buy diesel for 40.65 ZWL per liter or 1.52 USD. The E5 blend petrol sells for 40.92 ZWL or 1.53 USD per liter. Shops can charge less than these top prices if they want. They must show their prices clearly where everyone can see them. These rules help keep things fair for buyers. The petrol mix stays at the E5 level, which means every drop contains 5% ethanol mixed with regular gas. The mix matters because it affects how cars run and what prices shops can...
