Denzel gets heat for ditching his mate
Hip-hop fans across the country have turned against artist Denzel after his friend Mr. Hyper shared a heartbreaking video.

Gospel star gets flak over protest post
Many people on social media have attacked Zimbabwean gospel singer Dorcas Moyo. She wrote on Facebook, asking citizens not to join protests planned for March 31st.

Some think religious singers should avoid all political talk. Even with...
Chinese Embassy Gives Boer Goats to Zimbabwean Youth
Chinese officials gave thirty Boer goats to young farmers in Mashonaland Central Province. The donation helps Zimbabwe's youth start profitable farming businesses. Both countries celebrated this gift at a handover event with Minister Tinoda Machakaire and Chinese diplomat Cheng Yan in attendance.

Young Zimbabwean farmers can earn much more money each year by raising these premium animals instead of traditional breeds. Many young people have started farming because regular jobs have become hard...

Goldbod sticks to regulating its own agents
Yesterday, Sammy Gyamfi shot down rumors about the Ghana Gold Board. He made clear that the board will not act as both a rule maker and a market competitor, as some critics claimed.

The board works as the only company allowed to trade and ship gold out of Ghana, Gyamfi explained. Any rules it makes only affect agents who have already signed up to work under its banner. These rules make sure everyone follows the same standards when they sell gold through official channels. The board has zero power over other companies in the gold business. Gyamfi...
