Almost nobody showed up at Robert Mugabe Square for the big protest. Police sent away the few people who came. They had already warned everyone that the gathering was against the law and would be treated as illegal.
People talked to Reporters off camera about why they stayed home. Many said they wanted President Emmerson Mnangagwa gone but were afraid to join the protest. Past protests ended with violence, looting, and people getting shot or arrested. One person mentioned not wanting to be caught between angry crowds and armed forces like what happened on August 1, 2018.
Many citizens just did not trust Geza, the man who became famous after he cursed at President Mnangagwa in an interview. They think he only wants power for himself...
Lawyer Wilson Manase has landed in fresh legal trouble. Mining company Zimasco accuses him of helping someone illegally take over their business. They filed papers with the Law Society of Zimbabwe and Judicial Services Commission about this. The papers name Manase, lawyer Valentine Kwande, and Judge Joel Mambara as people who helped businessman Shepherd Tundiya try to grab their company.
Judge Mambara signed an order that wrongly handed control to Tundiya's company, Avim Investments. The order had a big mistake - it mentioned "Sinosteel Zimasco," a company that doesn't exist, instead of the real Zimasco Pvt Ltd. Even with this clear error, Manase and his friends tried to take Zimasco's bank accounts and run the company themselves...
A judge in Harare let two private school workers go free after they were charged with stealing $7,500 from parents. The court said this money problem needed to be handled in civil court instead. Thomas Mutsvene and Tariro Patsikadova faced fraud charges because they took fees from 60 students at their school, which lacked proper papers back in 2023. Government lawyers claimed these two people pretended to be important school leaders when they collected money from families.
Prosecutors also said they kept taking cash even though they knew authorities would shut down the school. Parents later had to pay another $70 per kid for city registration fees. The judge decided there wasn't enough proof to call this a crime. Magistrate Ishmael...

Dallaglio earned $223 million last year, up 43% from the previous year. This gold mining arm of Padenga Holdings dug up 17% more gold than it did a year earlier. Higher gold prices around the world helped boost the money coming in. Mining activities bring in most of the cash for Padenga these days, making up 86% of all money the company earned.
Padenga put $20 million into its mines during 2024. The company plans to spend another $28.5 million during 2025 to make its mines even bigger. Since 2019, Padenga has spent $107 million on mining equipment and digging deeper. The company runs two gold mines - Eureka in Guruve and Pickstone near Chegutu - both seeing big increases in how much gold they produce.
The numbers show great progress...
Heavy police forces filled Zimbabwe cities Monday as shops stayed shut. Officials warned people not to join protests against President Emmerson Mnangagwa. The plan came from members of his political party who wanted him out of office. Mnangagwa took control through military action eight years ago.
Security teams walked through downtown areas after telling citizens to ignore calls from a group inside Mnangagwa's ZANU-PF party. A few brave souls tried to gather at President Robert Mugabe Square in Harare, but cops quickly broke up their meeting. Videos across social media showed the scene unfolding.
"They promised we could march peacefully, but police already started hitting people," one protester told CITE media online. "We refuse to...
President Ruto discussed why his former deputy lost his job. He said problems started right after they took office. Gachagua fought with blogger Dennis Itumbi and some lawmakers, like Ndindi Nyoro and Kimani Ichung'wah. Ruto asked him why he picked these small fights with his team members.
The President explained that Gachagua threatened lawmakers who refused to follow his orders. These same lawmakers decided to act first by voting him out. Ruto claimed he never personally pushed for Gachagua's removal. He said the process followed all legal rules. Those who removed Gachagua did everything correctly.
Ruto shared that Gachagua wanted 10 billion Kenyan shillings to build support for him in Mt. Kenya areas. Gachagua reportedly warned he...
President Ruto brushed off worries about political fights ahead of his Mt. Kenya visit starting Tuesday. He talked with local radio stations Monday about his plans. He feels sure people there still like him even after he kicked out his assistant Rigathi Gachagua. "I've gone to Mt. Kenya for over 20 years. We didn't just become friends yesterday or last month. We built this friendship across decades. A few months of political changes can't break that," Ruto said.
His trip covers nine counties where voters helped make him president. He wants to show them what his team has done since taking office. "The people of Kenya put me in charge, including voters from Central Kenya. Starting tomorrow, everyone will see if I kept my promises," he...
Rigathi Gachagua wants President Ruto to start brand-new projects instead of showing off work that Uhuru Kenyatta began earlier. The former Deputy President said this just before Ruto heads to Mount Kenya for five days starting Tuesday. During his trip, Ruto plans to open finished projects, check on current work, and kick off new plans across nine different counties in the area.
Gachagua lost his job through impeachment last October. He claims Ruto has barely done anything worth showing people who live in the Mount Kenya region. He called the President a constant liar and told local folks not to believe what he says. When speaking at Wangige in Kiambu County during an unplanned stop, Gachagua insisted all the region's projects came...
