The Oshana Regional Council snagged a military helicopter to rescue drought-stricken communities trapped by massive flooding. Namibian Defence Force aircraft will zoom into hard-hit zones like Uuvudhiya, Ompundja, and Okatyali, delivering lifelines to stranded farmers and cattle herders.
Regional governor Elia Irimari emphasized the chopper's critical mission across northern Namibia. Devastating rains transformed landscapes into impassable waterways, cutting off vulnerable populations from essential supplies. Entire villages face dire humanitarian challenges, with communities marooned by swelling water pans.
Farm owners can help by stashing emergency food parcels at the Uukwangula warehouse. The helicopter stands ready to airlift...
Namibia might lose cheap access to the US market after President Trump slapped a 21% tariff on local products. Namibian goods like beef, lamb, fish, grapes, and blueberries currently sail into America duty-free under the African Growth and Opportunity Act. The new tariffs could jack up prices for IT equipment and burden Namibian shoppers.
The US cranked up import tariffs across all trading partners, leaving Namibia facing a stiff 21% reciprocal charge. Namibia fights back with a hefty 42% tariff on US imports. The trade arrangement looks shaky with AGOA scheduled to expire come September.
Former trade minister Calle Schlettwein says negotiating with the US feels like hitting a brick wall. Past attempts at trade talks crashed and...
Zimbabwe's latest money makeover is crashing and burning. The brand-new ZiG currency barely limps along, proving yet another failed attempt to remove the US dollar from the economy's driver's seat.
Born with fanfare on April 8, the Zimbabwe Gold currency quickly revealed its weakness. Banks struggle to keep it alive despite throwing massive financial firepower at the problem. Slashing interest rates, pumping gold reserves, and desperately trying to stabilize exchange rates haven't rescued the struggling cash.
Economic experts paint a bleak picture. The currency hardly works anywhere meaningful. People can barely buy bread with the highest denomination note. Utility payments and partial government wages represent its only lifeline...
A local lawyer landed himself behind bars after allegedly pocketing cash meant for a property settlement. Martin Chirwa faced court charges for snagging over $15,000 from a client's divorce deal. Authorities say he scooped up the money through multiple collections from his client's ex-wife's legal team.
Chirwa grabbed funds from Sansole and Senda legal practitioners across several pickups, eventually amassing $16,400. The money originated from Isabel Mpala, who wanted to buy her ex-husband's portion of their shared Emganwini home. Magistrate Maxwell Ncube remanded the lawyer until April 8, setting the stage for a legal showdown.
Prosecutors revealed the scheme began during a November 2021 divorce settlement meeting. Denford Gwizi...
Some renegade ex-Zanu-PF officials are trying to overthrow Zimbabwe's legally elected government. But a top official says their plans will fail big time.
Zanu-PF Mashonaland East Provincial Chairman Daniel Garwe gave a speech at a rally on Wednesday. He was drumming up support for Zanu-PF Glen View South Constituency candidate Tsitsi Tranquillity Tawomhera in Harare. Garwe said efforts by some former Zanu-PF officials to go against the constitution and undermine or remove the elected government would crash and burn.
He made it clear that the ruling party and government fully support President Mnangagwa. "President Mnangagwa won the election in 2023. He's in his second term now. But some people are already scheming, saying they can't...
Blessed Geza is an old war veteran who goes by "Bombshell." He's been taking to social media in his military uniform, talking straight to his followers. He starts each message with a Maoist anthem from when the armed struggle was at its peak in the 1970s, and people are listening. He's become a symbol of resistance against Zimbabwe's authoritarian government, especially with the political opposition in shambles.
Geza called for protests on March 31st, telling President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down. Even with a low turnout, the police were worried enough to come out in force. They arrested over 100 people just for showing up. Many businesses and offices closed for the day. Some say that was like a silent protest.
Not long before...
Blessed Geza, a former member of the Zanu-PF Central Committee who has fallen from grace, is trying to introduce a motion in the National Assembly to impeach President Mnangagwa. However, the government says his attempts are bound to fail because he lacks support from other political parties, and the reasons he gives for the impeachment are nothing but lies.
Last Monday, Geza organized an unsuccessful attempt to stir up a rebellion and overthrow Zimbabwe's democratically elected government. After that failed, he followed it up with a document that's been making the rounds on social media and other online platforms. In this document, Geza claims he's going to lead an impeachment process in Parliament to remove President Mnangagwa from...
Mike Chimombe and Moses Mpofu, two businessmen connected to the Zanu PF party, are facing corruption charges. However, Prosecutor General Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo has landed herself in a difficult situation regarding their case. The Zimbabwe Litigants Association, a group, has filed an application requesting the court to invalidate her decision to indict Chimombe and Mpofu to the High Court.
The association wants the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and the Justice Minister to make sure that the decision is followed. They believe that the Prosecutor General's choice to bring charges against the two businessmen in the High Court is not valid. The group has taken legal action to challenge this decision.
If the court agrees with the...
