The Shangwe community is finally getting put on the map after years of being ignored. That massive cultural center project out in Gokwe North is basically finished, causing serious hype among locals who felt left out for ages. The government has transferred the keys from the local government to the arts and culture department, meaning things are getting serious.
This spot had zero ways to flex their heritage before this happened, but things changed. Tasiiwa Munyawu from the Rural District Council claims this fits the national vibe of helping everyone everywhere, while turning history into cash. He thinks this place will definitely create jobs, while giving Zimbabwe tourism a legit upgrade.

Zimbabwe finally fixed its money printer after years of total economic madness. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe claims victory over financial instability because inflation dropped while foreign reserves stacked up. Governor Dr John Mushayavanhu credited tight control over cash supplies and a flexible exchange setup. Their snapshot suggests fiscal discipline fixed the mess.
Official stats show ZiG annual inflation hit 15 percent, remaining way under the 30 percent ceiling. Monthly spikes flattened out to average barely 0.4 percent. The exchange rate hovered near ZiG26 against the US dollar, and the gap with the black market stayed under 20 percent.

Beitbridge just got a STEM upgrade, and it comes with real concrete. The government started rolling out science labs at nine secondary schools in the district, a boost tied to the Presidential Science Laboratories Scheme. Beitbridge Rural District Council is building the labs with the Rural Infrastructure Development Agency, aiming to bring practical experiments and modern spaces to rural schools that have operated without equipped facilities.
Engineer Latani Singo, Beitbridge RDC head of engineering and works, said groundwork has started at every chosen site. Communities have already dug foundation trenches, with RIDA leading implementation. Full construction should ramp up once materials arrive.
The schools set to benefit are Siyoka...
Harare tells idlers to clear out early as floods and traffic pile up. City leaders urged people without errands to leave the CBD before nightfall, citing heavy rains, flash flooding, and jammed roads. Spokesperson Stanley Gama pushed early exits, while officials linked the crisis to neglected drains, vandalism, and wetland loss that magnifies runoff.
Acting town clerk Engineer Phakamile Mabhena Moyo reported frequent flash floods in Mbare, Highfield, Waterfalls, Warren Park, Budiriro, and Glen Norah. The city, working with the Civil Protection Unit, asked residents in low spots to track alerts, stay watchful, and move fast when water rises.
Motorists were told to slow down on waterlogged streets, skip parking under trees, keep litter...
Kwekwe woke up to a rookie club behaving like a heavyweight. Hardrock Football Club hit the transfer window hard, stacking a debut Premier Soccer League roster around coach Kelvin Kaindu, and shifting a city that waited 17 years from survival talk to trophy chatter. The squad-building blitz targets impact immediately, not a patient project.
Names drive the hype, not slogans. From champions Simba Bhora came Junior Makunike, Donald Mudadi, and Boid Mutukure, bringing title rings and Caf Champions League reps. Chicken Inn supplied Xolani Ndlovu, Edward Musena, and Tinashe Mashaireni. ZPC Kariba added cover through Marshall Gavaza and Samuel Makaya.
Key pieces arrived through MWOS. Warriors goalkeeper Martin Mapisa joined, along with...
Government claims cotton is back, wallets first. In Harare, Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development Minister Dr Anxious Masuka said output slid as COTTCO payment headaches drained grower confidence, and he signaled talks with the company to guarantee prompt payouts at internationally accepted prices, a fix expected to lift production while the Second Republic leans on agriculture for growth.
Plans stretch past cash flow. COTTCO will set up an oilseed expression plant in Gokwe, with replicas planned for Checheche and Muzarabani, pushing value addition inside producing communities, where returns can expand beyond selling raw lint.
Government programs promise financial access, modern farming tech, and stronger...
ZIMURA just fired back at rumor merchants, and receipts followed. The association said ex-members and non-members keep spreading false claims, which pushed a public response. Deputy director Henry Makombe urged members to raise issues through social media, radio, and podcasts, and he promised direct replies. He said the Board of Directors holds authority to act for the association between general meetings.
Property chatter took center stage. Viral posts claimed a whole Avondale building belonged to ZIMURA. The association said only two small flats sat on its books, and those units no longer fit growing operations. Management described the premises as run-down, with staff squeezed into makeshift spaces, even kitchen areas.

A buffalo charged, turning fieldwork into a survival scramble. In Middle Sabi near the Save Conservancy, Ms Rosemary Tenisi, 45, from Mkomba Village under Chief Musikavanhu in Chipinge, suffered injuries at Chibuwe Block D Irrigation Scheme. The attack happened while she tended crops, and the scene shifted fast from routine tasks to chaos.
Witnesses said the animal rushed from adjacent terrain as she worked, forcing a run that ended in a fall. The buffalo gored her on the head and back, then disappeared toward unknown ground, leaving shaken villagers to respond.
Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka confirmed the attack and said Ms Tenisi shouted for help, drawing Mr Christopher Mudaira from a nearby plot. Neighbors moved her to...
Government wants ZITF supercharged, chasing exports and sharper matchmaking for industry. Plans sit inside NDS2, the medium-term economic blueprint, with upgrades built for sector-specific pairing that draws targeted investment and strengthens domestic value chains. The annual expo, a flagship stage for business and investment, aims to link local producers with regional and international markets.
Officials plan to carry that playbook into other exhibition platforms such as the Zimbabwe Ag Society and Mine-Entra. Those events pull in varied businesses across agro and mineral chains, giving stages where products get shown, partnerships form, new tech gets tested, and export routes get scouted.
Planners expect focused matchmaking to...
