Some random twenty-four-year-old dude just found out that faking military credentials carries heavy consequences. Gerald Gumede from Highlands got dragged before the Harare Magistrates’ Court for pretending to be a Zimbabwe National Army intelligence officer. The state proved he totally faked his status to scam people while hoarding illegal gear at his crib.
The scam involved lying to a local lecturer about securing housing for Zimbabwe Defence Forces personnel. Gumede bragged about having links inside the President’s Department that could help the victim get recruited. He even took the poor guy to Josiah Magama Tongogara Barracks and collected his school certificates just to sell the deception even harder.

Zimbabwe finally slashed vehicle number plate prices after dragging its feet for four whole months. Statutory Instrument 10 of 2026 officially dropped the cost to US500 fee that drivers hated. Officials promised this relief back in September 2025, yet everyone kept paying the old rates because the paperwork never actually existed until recently.
Drivers registering cars, motorcycles, or trailers get the fresh fifty-dollar rate immediately. Anyone swapping ownership needs to shell out US15 to keep their current ones. Losing public service tags costs US35. Personalized vanity plates still cost a fortune, ranging between US5,000.
Ministers Jenfan Muswere and Mthuli Ncube originally hyped this move to boost business competitiveness. Ncube...
Zimbabwe Cricket just embarrassed the entire nation with their new cringeworthy marketing campaign. They dropped a promo video featuring comedian Madam Boss to hype the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2026, yet the internet hates it. The organization posted the clip on X expecting excitement, but the comments section immediately turned into a roast fest because the influencer clearly knows absolutely nothing about the sport.
Critics argued that hiring a social media personality who grips the willow like a hockey stick makes the country look ridiculous. Viewers pointed out she spun around yelling about passing the ball and scoring, which proves she lacks basic knowledge. The thread filled up with angry supporters demanding that the...
Your Netflix subscription just became a luxury item thanks to the government’s greed because Nick Mangwana confirmed eight fresh tax laws hitting everyone immediately. Digital services like Spotify, Starlink, and Bolt get slapped with a 15% withholding fee that banks deduct automatically during transactions. Regular shopping hurts worse since Value Added Tax jumped to 15.5%, while tourists lose their zero-rating perks on accommodation or safaris.
The administration decided to squeeze the mining sector with a 10% export duty on lithium ore and antimony, alongside a separate 3% levy on coal sales. Gamblers face absolute ruin seeing their winnings tax rocket from 10% to 25%. Betting operators endure a massive hike as well, since their...
Getting stabbed for telling a driver to chill out is absolute peak insanity. Innocent Tinashe Mtepeya Hwata died after Border Tatenda Muringayi allegedly attacked him at Nyava Growth Point in Bindura. The victim simply asked the suspect to quit skidding his car near a crowd, but Muringayi responded with a knife and supposedly licked the blood off the blade like a total maniac.
Stanley Hwata confirmed his sibling passed away before they could even reach a medical facility. He mentioned that the killer threatened witnesses immediately after the attack, while the family remains restless knowing this guy stays free. They already buried Innocent back in Nyava Village last Saturday without seeing any justice served for the senseless...
Bev Sibanda claims she built the entire dance industry, and everyone else just copies her. She thinks fading performers start fights just to get attention because their skills dried up. The Sexy Angels leader warned that she reached a level of maturity where she ignores the noise, but she promised to report anyone trying to cyberbully her for clout. She feels totally done with copycats stealing her moves.
Bev mentioned she has been grinding since 2007 and basically forced everyone else to upgrade their game. She bragged about a successful run of shows outside Harare recently, thanking promoters who actually respect the brand. She honestly believes she sets every trend in the club scene while others just ride her wave to survive.

Prison labor is getting a tech upgrade that actually helps society for once. The Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service decided to flip the script at Ruchanyu Farm near Shurugwi, turning dusty semi-arid dirt into a legit agricultural powerhouse. They ditched the old jail model for a business mindset, employing climate-smart farming to grow food while teaching inmates skills that might keep them out of handcuffs later.
This spot sits twenty kilometers down Zvishavane Road and somehow defies the dry region curse. They dedicated ten hectares to the Pfumvudza and Intwasa method, which works efficiently to beat droughts. The team expects five tonnes of maize per hectare, proving that human effort can squeeze results out of bad soil if...
Bulawayo schools are completely screwed right now because nobody bothered printing the actual textbooks. Local shops confirm they have zero stock for indigenous languages like isiNdebele or tjiKalanga, despite parents desperate to buy them. Witness Dingani runs a bookstore there and admits they simply cannot supply what families need. Paul Masuku from the sellers association claims that talking to publishers accomplished absolutely nothing.
The teachers' union is obviously furious about the incompetence impacting lesson plans. Dr Sifiso Ndlovu from Zimta argues that missing resources destroy learner outcomes, and the administration should have solved this mess before the term started. He points out that artificial intelligence offers...
The accused killer of DJ Warras is claiming the cops completely framed him. Victor Mthethwa Majola told the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court that investigators faked evidence connecting him to the fatal shooting of Warrick Stock outside the Carlton Centre. He faces premeditated murder charges after being grabbed by officers on December 22, yet he insists he was actually chilling in Soweto when the crime happened near the CBD.
Majola swears he is innocent and merely a taxi boss supporting twelve kids who need him home. His lawyer read an affidavit stating police seized his licensed firearm alongside seven phones without explaining his rights or finding forensic proof. He argues the real public opinion supports his innocence, calling this...
