Time to step up for fair elections
The next big vote is on September 16, 2025, and everyone needs to play their part right. Both parties and regular people must step up to ensure that voting stays free, fair, and honest across Zimbabwe. When we all vote the right way, our country grows stronger because real democracy works best when nobody cheats the system. Every political group should discuss fixing the economy, improving healthcare, improving schools, and keeping neighborhoods safe. They need to show clear plans instead of attacking each other or stirring up trouble. Smart voters want to hear actual solutions, not angry speeches that divide communities or turn neighbors against each other. All parties must follow the rules set by election officials and respect the...
Zimbabwe at a crossroads again what now
Zimbabwe faces tough choices yet again. People talk about this country everywhere - from news stations to churches, from business meetings to bars. Most speak about bad things happening there. Many experts think another military takeover might happen soon. This reminds everyone of when Robert Mugabe lost power back in November 2017. The funny part? General Constantino Chiwenga and Emmerson Mnangagwa, who helped push Mugabe out, seem to have problems with each other these days. Everyone keeps asking if Mnangagwa should stay president, especially since people want to change laws letting him rule past 2028. They wonder if Blessing Geza and Chiwenga can bring real freedom that Zimbabwe missed for over twenty years. People ask what Nelson...
Transporters on edge in quiet Zimbabwe
Truck drivers working routes into Zimbabwe fear what they might face after an unusual quiet fell across the country Monday morning, March 31. Many Zimbabweans stayed home because they felt angry at President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his leadership team. Members from his Zanu-PF party asked citizens to join large protests last week, demanding he step down from power immediately. News reports both inside and outside Zimbabwe say people hate the failing economy, rampant stealing of public money, and Mnangagwa's plans to stay president past 2028, when laws say he must leave. The Transit Assistance Bureau says Harare streets look empty, with many businesses locked up tight. Different scenes played out in Bulawayo where lots of people walked...
Protesters demand Mnangagwa out under heavy security
Police watched closely as protesters met in small numbers around Zimbabwe's capital Monday. They came because a veteran from President Mnangagwa's ZANU-PF party asked people to demand he step down. This happened after some party members tried extending his leadership past 2028, when his term should end. Armed officers spread across Harare and Bulawayo early in the morning to prevent any crowds from forming. Many people still recall 2017, when Mnangagwa, aged 82, grabbed power from Robert Mugabe, the first leader after independence. That morning, citizens attempted to gather at President Robert Mugabe Square, also named Freedom Square. According to videos posted online, police scattered them with tear gas. A protester told CITE media...
Zimbabwe streets go quiet over protest call
Zimbabwe cities looked empty on Monday, March 31, 2025. Streets in Harare, Bulawayo, and Gweru stayed silent as shops kept their doors locked. Almost nobody used public transportation that day. Most people decided to remain at home instead of heading out for regular activities. The government kept saying everyone should go to work as usual. But the places that normally buzz with shoppers, office workers, and street sellers stayed weirdly quiet all day long. Few taxis ran their routes, and market stalls stood empty across these major urban centers. War veterans from Zimbabwe's freedom struggle had asked citizens to join a national shutdown. They wanted people to protest against President Mnangagwa because they felt angry about money...
Nationwide day off shows Zimbabwe fed up with Mnangagwa
People across Zimbabwe stayed home today instead of going to work or school. This big protest on March 31 hit back at President Mnangagwa, whom many blame for money problems, unfair leadership, and keeping power through force. Everyone calls this the Geza Revolution after war veteran Blessed Geza, who started it. Cities looked empty all day as stores, schools, and government offices shut down. From north to south, places like Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru, Kwekwe, Masvingo, and Mutare saw almost nobody on the streets. Citizens made their point by simply not showing up anywhere. War veterans who support Vice President Chiwenga organized everything. These veterans belong to a different group inside the ruling Zanu-PF party. This marks the...
Zimbabwe is all good, ignore online buzz
Zimbabwe's ambassador to South Africa talked with the public earlier today about his home country. Mr. David Hamadziripi said people should relax because Zimbabwe remains calm right now. He made clear that social media posts paint a different picture than what really exists there. Mr. Hamadziripi explained how social media never shows the complete truth about places. He said the streets of Zimbabwe stay peaceful, with nothing unusual happening anywhere. The nation continues its regular daily activities without problems or disruptions. The ambassador emphasized that anyone looking at social media would see made-up stories instead of the actual peaceful situation across the country.
Police block veteran protest over extra term
Police showed up in large numbers across Zimbabwe's cities on Monday. Their presence stopped most people from joining protests against plans to keep President Mnangagwa in power longer. The ruling party Zanu-PF announced back in January that they wanted to add two extra years to his term until 2030. Mnangagwa took control after Robert Mugabe lost power through a coup in 2017, and he can't run again under current rules. War veterans who once supported Mnangagwa have turned against him. Their leader, Blessed Geza, says the president wants to keep power past his legal limit. Businesses prepared for trouble by boarding up windows and removing valuable items from display. Most shops, schools, and street vendors stayed closed throughout...
Zimbabwe on edge as protesters push for Mnangagwa out
Zimbabwe cities saw heavy police presence as shops and offices shut down when officials warned against Monday protests demanding that President Mnangagwa step down. Security teams walked through downtown areas after telling people not to join demonstrations called by members of ZANU-PF, Mnangagwa's party. The president took control through a coup eight years ago. According to videos shared online, police broke up a small crowd trying to gather at President Robert Mugabe Square in Harare. One protester told CITE online media the march was planned as peaceful, but police started hitting people. She added she would stay put even if it meant dying for her children's future. The protests came from a ZANU-PF veteran following attempts by...
