War hero scores a new home ahead of Independence
The Zimbabwe government has stepped up programs to help war veterans as the country nears its April 18 independence celebration, marking 45 years of freedom. Last Saturday, they gave liberation fighter Cde Murambiwa Mujuru the keys to a new three-bedroom house in Murehwa. President Mnangagwa started this home-building program through the Presidential War Veterans Fund to improve the lives of those who fought for freedom. This fits into what the government calls its Second Republic plans—they want to honor the people who risked everything for Zimbabwe's independence. The upcoming Uhuru celebrations in Gokwe highlight how important these fighters remain to the country today. Government and Zanu PF officials attended the ceremony where...

Zimbabwe power squabble could turn ugly
Fighting has broken out between groups in Zimbabwe's ruling party, ZANU PF. These groups clash over who should lead next—one side wants President Mnangagwa to stay longer than allowed, and the other backs Vice President Chiwenga to take power. The public fights have drawn in military veterans, security forces, and angry citizens, raising fears of possible civil war if left unchecked. President Mnangagwa's team hopes to push the elections back from 2028 to 2030. This would give him an extra two years beyond the ten-year limit set by Zimbabwe's constitution. Recent days have seen dangerous power moves from both ZANU PF sides - military leaders changed, security troops were sent out, and protests were planned for March 31. Then, on March...
Gomwe Criticizes Mnangagwa's Plan to Extend His Rule
A major shake-up hit Zimbabwe when Gifford Gomwe spoke against President Mnangagwa staying in office longer than allowed.

This national plan aims to boost Zimbabwe into an upper-middle-income economy before the decade ends. Many citizens worry that keeping Mnangagwa as president past his legal time would create more problems for the country. People rarely hear disagreement inside ZANU PF ranks...

Gwayi Neighbors Seek Clinics Roads and Wildlife Peace
People living near the Gwayi River in Ward 26 of Lupane District need better services. They want clinics, roads, and bridges from the government.
