Police officials just canceled the big 21km race they planned to hold. The marathon would have marked its 14th year running at Mkoba Teachers College. Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko from Midlands Police told everyone the news but kept quiet about why they made this decision.
He simply said they pushed back the Commissioner General of Police marathon without setting any new date. This left many runners hanging who had trained hard for weeks. The yearly event usually brings together athletes from every corner of Zimbabwe and helps promote exercise among police members and regular citizens.
Nobody knows exactly why officials canceled the race. Some people think money problems caused it. Others believe security issues might explain the sudden...
Zimbabwe police shared news about safety across the country today. Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi spoke as the main police representative and told everyone they could relax about security concerns. The police promised normal activities would continue throughout Zimbabwe without interruption. Citizens remain free to travel downtown, walk anywhere they want, and head to their jobs without any police stopping them.
The United Methodist Church split apart in Zimbabwe after they decided to let gay people join. Former church boss Reverend Forbes Matonga quit along with several church elders who felt the same way. Last year in America, church leaders voted to welcome gay members starting May 3.
Matonga told reporters in Harare that accepting gay people breaks important Bible rules. "We think being gay goes against what Christians teach. Most African countries make it illegal, and all African cultures see it as wrong," he explained. "Wrong acts stay wrong everywhere. They cannot be bad here but fine somewhere else in the same church. Bad behavior affects everyone regardless of race or country. God remains holy, and humans cannot change divine...
Kenyans still hate President William Ruto even after he crushed the Gen Z protests nine months ago. These days, people yell the phrase "Ruto Must Go" almost everywhere—big crowds, sports games, dance clubs, and parties. Security leaders have noticed this trend happening more and more often.
This public anger came right when Ruto planned to visit the Mt Kenya area. The people there feel negative toward him since he removed Rigathi Gachagua from office. Fans at the Kenya versus Gabon soccer match recently shouted anti-Ruto messages inside Nyayo Stadium. The same thing happened earlier at Gusii Stadium, where young people booed Raila Odinga because he backs Ruto.
These angry chants happen regularly when people hang out at nightclubs or...
According to fresh predictions from weather experts, rain will continue falling across many parts of the country. They expect heavy downpours to hit areas east and west of the Rift Valley highlands, around Lake Victoria Basin, throughout the Rift Valley, and across the southeastern lowlands. The wet weather should also affect coastal regions and northeastern and northwestern Kenya.
Mary Githinji, representing the Meteorological Services director, released this forecast. She mentioned that daytime temperatures would climb above 30 degrees Celsius along the coast and throughout the northeastern and northwestern regions. Nighttime readings will drop below 10 degrees Celsius across certain highland areas east of the Rift Valley and within...
Hassan Joho thinks every deserving Kenyan belongs in the larger government. The Mining and Blue Economy leader spoke about how important it feels for all people to see themselves represented. He made these comments during Muslim prayers at Tononoka Ground, right here in Mombasa. When President Ruto added more departments by hiring extra Principal Secretaries, many citizens worried about paying higher taxes just to cover salaries.
Joho claims Kenya suffered from exclusive politics for years until Ruto changed things completely. He explained our country used first-past-the-post politics where winners took everything, leaving others without any voice. Anyone who lost an election had zero chance to help their nation going forward. This new...
David Maraga plans to run for president in Kenya come 2027. He made this clear after church on Sunday in Kisii when he told people he wanted the top job because he could make changes from there. He claims he stands on his merits rather than backing from powerful interests. The former Chief Justice stated that voters will decide if they believe him or think someone is pulling his strings behind the scenes.
Maraga hopes honest people end up on the election board to ensure fair voting. This differs from what other Kisii leaders want, as Senator Richard Onyonka declared Fred Matiangi should represent their area against President William Ruto. These leaders also plan to create a fresh political party with Matiangi as their main candidate...
Donald Trump feels mad at Russian President Vladimir Putin after trying for weeks to reach a ceasefire deal in Ukraine. Trump said he became angry when Putin criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He warned he might charge a big 50% tax on any country that buys oil from Russia if Putin refuses to stop fighting.
These comments show Trump talking about Putin differently than before. Many European officials worried Trump seemed friendly with Putin during peace talks. For six weeks, Trump pushed Zelensky hard for many changes and mostly gave Putin what he wanted. This marks the first serious threat from America against Russia for slowing down peace efforts.
During a short phone call with NBC News, Trump expressed that he felt...
Tenderpreneur is a term that has become familiar in many communities across South Africa. It describes business figures who gain wealth through government contracts awarded in questionable ways. Many people use this word when speaking about corruption or unethical dealings in public procurement. It reflects a mixture of frustration and concern among citizens who feel that honest practices are being undermined.
Some South Africans see this situation as part of a larger challenge. They believe that nepotism and personal favors contribute to the rise of tenderpreneurs. Connections with powerful individuals can tip the scales and allow certain people to secure state contracts unfairly, generating debates about the system's fairness. The...
