Uganda's youth cricket team suffered back-to-back losses in Nigeria at the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup qualifiers. First, they fell to Tanzania by 73 runs, and then Kenya beat them by 7 wickets. These defeats nearly crushed their hopes of qualifying, making every upcoming game a must-win situation.
Tanzania scored 189 runs for eight wickets against Uganda in their 50-over match. Karim Kiseto hit 51 runs, and captain Laksh Bakrania added 60 more. Uganda tried to fight back with Musa Majid and Abdul Aziz Tandia, each taking three wickets. When Uganda stepped up to bat, they crumbled under pressure, scoring just 116 runs before Tanzania bowled them all out in 39 overs.
The second match went even worse for Uganda's Baby Cricket Cranes. They...
Uganda just named Dr. Gerald Banaga-Baingi the new boss of its national mining company. He starts his job on May 1 next year. The company board made this official yesterday morning through its chairman, James Mukasa Sebugenyi.

The board picked him as part of their plan to help Uganda...
Mnangagwa plays chess, not checkers. He first kicked Tendai Biti out of Parliament because Biti ran the Public Accounts Committee that exposed big corruption deals. The criminal groups linked to Mnangagwa wanted Biti gone badly. Next came his strategy to block General Constantino Chiwenga from taking power after him. They created backup plans just in case the first one failed.
He plans to install someone who will shield him and his family from future investigations - that person is Kuda Tagwirei. Mnangagwa made it crystal clear that Chiwenga would never become president. This explains why Tagwirei and General Sibanda are being prepared for leadership positions alongside him. They all belong to his clan by blood.
Anyone who fought...
Two men from Chitungwiza faced a judge yesterday after police said they robbed the in-laws of businessman Wicknell Chivayo. Peter Maramba Vhiya, 43, and Takudzwa Maisvoreva, 24, allegedly stole $74,000 from a farm in Marondera. They appeared before regional magistrate Mrs Marehwanazvo Gofa on two robbery charges. Their lawyer, Mr Kudakwashe Munyoro, represented them during the hearing. The court told them only the High Court could grant bail in their case. They must return to court on April 10 to join their case with a third suspect.
Prosecutor Lancelot Mutsokoti described how the men and their friends attacked Alfa and Omega Farm on March 18 around 1 am. They brought three rifles, two pistols, bolt cutters, machetes, and iron bars...
Kuda Tagwirei plans to enter Zimbabwe politics. The rich businessman might join the Zanu PF Central Committee soon. Masvingo leaders have asked party officials to add him. They also want former lawmaker Josiah Sithole included. These changes may completely reshape regional politics.
Provincial chairman Robson Mavhenyengwa told TellZim News about their formal request. He believes both men can help the party succeed because they come from Masvingo. The national leadership must approve these additions first. Reports say Secretary General Obert Mpofu likes the idea but needs to check with National Chairperson Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri.
Tagwirei grew up in Gutu and became famous for making money and helping others. He regularly gives cash...
The US Treasury Office placed sanctions on Kudakwashe Regimond Tagwirei because he helped Zimbabwe government leaders. They also sanctioned his business, Sakunda Holdings. This happened exactly two years after Zimbabwe's government violently stopped citizens who protested flawed elections. At least six people died during those protests on August 1, 2018.
Treasury Deputy Secretary Justin G. Muzinich said Tagwirei and other rich Zimbabweans hurt their country's growth and harmed regular citizens through corruption. He added that America supports the financial well-being of Zimbabwe's people and will target corrupt acts by politicians and their money-backers.
Tagwirei runs businesses with close ties to Zimbabwe's ruling party and...
