People are excited about the big party coming to Nembudziya soon. The whole town buzzes with energy as everyone prepares for April 18, which marks forty-five years since Zimbabwe became free from colonial rule. The main events happen near the Mutora area, just outside Nembudziya Growth Point in Gokwe North. This celebration travels to different places each year because the government wants all regions to share important national moments.
The government picked a special message for this year: "Zim@45: Devolve and Develop Together Towards Vision 2030." Workers rush to finish building stages, paths, and viewing areas at three key spots—the main arena, music show location, and children's event space. About 100,000 visitors might travel...
South Korea's Ambassador Mr. Jae Kyung Park explains that Zimbabwe and South Korea fight corruption together because they trust each other completely. Their anti-corruption teams agreed last week to share their smartest methods and train their staff to catch dishonest officials better. They plan to exchange special skills and teach each other what works best against bribes and theft from the public. This partnership lets both countries become stronger against people who steal money meant for roads, schools, and hospitals.
Zimbabwe's anti-corruption team proved their worth last year when they rescued over $30 million from thieves who took public money. They convinced judges and juries in almost three out of four cases that the accused...
Gold prices shot up to $3,167.84 per ounce Thursday after Donald Trump set new taxes on goods from many countries. When world trade feels shaky, many people rush to buy gold as a safe place for money. The price has jumped more than 19% since January. Zimbabwe sells lots of gold, making this price rise very good news for their country.
The first two months of 2025 brought Zimbabwe $240.1 million from gold sales. Last year, during those same months, they made $221 million. Gold brings more money to Zimbabwe than any other product they sell to other lands. Deputy Mining Minister Polite Kambamura told The Sunday Mail that higher prices mean more cash comes in even when they dig up the same amount of metal as before.
Zimbabwe plans to dig...
The head of Namibia welcomed a special sports leader to our country last weekend. Kirsty Coventry from Zimbabwe came to visit President Nandi-Ndaitwah at State House on Saturday. Coventry runs the International Olympic Committee as its first female boss ever. She picked Namibia for her first trip around Africa since she became president back in March. The two leaders talked about many important sports matters.
President Nandi-Ndaitwah thanked Coventry for coming to Namibia and told the sports chief how much our nation cares about growing different sports. The president believes games help change society for better living. Sports also bring money into our country through jobs, tourism, and events. Our president said sports go beyond...
Sara Mutondoka wants yard owners to pay cash for backyard shacks. The lady running Walvis Bay as deputy mayor talked about this plan at many open talks last month. She thinks people must pay more money when they pack more small houses behind their homes. Her reason comes from all the fires that burn down these packed areas. After fires ruin everything, people need help fast - they want places to sleep, blankets, food, and more. Yes, many groups help these fire victims, but Sara believes yard landlords should chip in cash ahead of time.
The exact price tag remains unclear right now. Sara asked the town's townspeople what they thought fair prices might look like. People are split on whether this idea makes sense or hurts poor families...
North Korea talked about South Korea expelling its president. They shared this news on Saturday through their KCNA newsgroup. The South Korean court threw President Yoon Suk-Yeol out of office on Friday. He tried to use army rules back in December, which shocked many people. Every single judge voted against him—all eight said he must leave his job right away. Big news groups around the world rushed to tell this story as fast as they could.
Yoon always acted tough when dealing with North Korea during his time as leader. The north often said bad things about him because of this. Yoon led South Korea for just a short time before losing his job. During those months, North Korea made huge changes to how they see the South. They rewrote...
Floods broke the water system at Opuwo yesterday, and heavy rain last night wrecked NamWater pipes. The company told everyone about this problem on Saturday. Lot Ndamanomhata from NamWater said water cannot flow through their damaged pipes anymore. These pipes normally carry water from holes dug deep underground to the main collection point.
NamWater has already sent repair workers to Opuwo. The team will check how bad things look when they arrive and plan to start fixing broken parts right away. The water company brought a big truck filled with water to help people until the pipes worked again. This truck lets families grab enough water for basic needs during repairs.
More flooding occurred across the northwestern area where NamWater...
Deputy Mayor Sara Mutondoka wants people who rent space for shacks to pay extra money. She talked about this idea at public meetings last month. The plan makes yard owners pay fees for each backyard shack. More shacks mean higher fees. This works like a fine because many shacks catch fire often. After fires burn everything down, victims need help fast with tents, blankets, and food.
People across Namibia help during these troubles, but Mutondoka thinks the ones letting shacks stay should help pay for disaster needs. The city wants to build up cash savings ready for when bad things happen next time. Leaders have not picked the exact fee amounts yet. They first want to hear what regular people think about the plan. The deputy mayor asked...
Bernadus Swartbooi from the Landless People's Movement asked why our country spent just N$12.8 billion on building things. He talked at his party meeting last Saturday in Windhoek. Our nation needs at least N$25 billion for real growth, he said. The current money falls way short of what helps citizens find work.
Swartbooi believes we should put N$30 billion toward making new things instead of just N$12.8 billion from the big N$106 billion budget. The finance boss, Ericah Shafudah, brought this plan to lawmakers recently. Her budget includes N$200 million for two sports fields and another N$200 million for basic needs like roads and water pipes.
The party leader slammed the government's attempts to fix job problems. He does not think...
