Zimbabwe battles high bills for third line HIV drugs
Zimbabwe faces big money problems buying special HIV drugs for 603 patients each month. These advanced medicines cost thousands of dollars when normal HIV drugs cost only about $8 monthly. The country struggles even more because help from other nations keeps going down. Tests that check which drugs will work for resistant HIV add extra costs. Patients need to take their first medicines correctly every day. Many people skip doses because they heard wrong information about traditional healing or spirits causing their illness instead of HIV. Others simply forget to take pills or lose them. This causes the HIV to change and fight against the drugs. Unlike other health problems where missing medicine occasionally might not matter as much...

Zimbabwe regulator eyes mobile registration for cyber safety
Zimbabwe's phone watchdog group, POTRAZ, wants the government to require people to register their phones with their SIM cards. They believe this will make online activities safer and fight internet crimes. POTRAZ's tech expert Hasha Myambo says linking phones to the current SIM card list would boost security for online payments and help people trust digital services again. He also points out that we need better rules to tackle bad behavior online. Right now, companies must keep records of all SIM cards they give out. POTRAZ hopes for a new rule creating a main phone database where all service providers share information. This system would let them shut down stolen or missing devices across every network soon after someone reports a...
Death penalty ends in Zimbabwe as inmates get new sentences
Zimbabwe has changed its law about punishing people who commit very serious crimes. The president signed a new law that stops courts from giving people the death penalty. This means that people who were going to be executed will have their punishments changed. About sixty people were on death row before the law changed. The courts will look at each person's story carefully. They will think about how long these people have been in prison and what happened in their cases. The new law means people who commit murder will go to prison for 20 years or longer instead of being killed. Zimbabwe has a long history with the death penalty. The country first started using this punishment when the British ruled the land many years ago. The last...
