Since last August, the Presidential Community Fisheries Scheme has handed out more than 2 million free baby Nile tilapia fish across Zimbabwe. At this rate, they'll probably hit their 2.2 million goal before May rolls around. Fish farmers typically add new fish during warmer months, starting in August, but stop when winter cools things down in early May. Experts consider tilapia the best fish for growing in a small space.
This program helps boost food production, reduces hunger, and creates jobs, especially for rural families. Officials approved 1,220 dams for raising these fish. The benefits reach irrigation groups, youth organizations, schools, villages, and individual fish farmers who sign up. The United Nations Food and Agriculture...
Tinashe Pswarayi and his buddy Tauya Masunda faced a Harare judge last week because they took rental money from a dead guy's properties. The cash belonged to Dr. Edward Pswarayi, who died years back. We're talking big bucks here - over fifty-two thousand US dollars disappeared from the family business.
These two guys appeared before Magistrate Sharon Rakafa-Matsika but didn't have to say if they did it or not yet. The court locked them up until today, when they'll find out if they can post bail. Everything started when Takunda Pswarayi, who lives far away in England, told police his brother and friend were stealing money. Takunda deserved some of that cash as part of his dad's inheritance.
Tinashe has no job but acts as a trustee for...
The High Court has again said no to bail for Thulani Munetsi, who has spent two years locked up waiting for trial. Munetsi faces charges of joining five other men in four armed robberies around Harare. The court heard claims that he waved guns, made threats, and hurt people to steal money, stuff, and personal items. Judge Esther Muremba decided Munetsi couldn't have bail because he lied and had no real home address.
Judge Muremba talked about how truth makes justice work. She caught Munetsi lying about where he lives, which made her doubt everything else he said. Police checked and found out his address didn't exist. Even his family members told the court he works as a small-time miner who moves from place to place. The court worried...
Parliament wants Zimbabwe's tax office to fix its online system fast. The Public Accounts Committee told the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority last week that better ways for people to pay taxes on time are needed. This helps the government collect all the money it should. The committee spoke up after reading reports from 2021 and 2022 that showed problems with the tax website since 2016.
The tax website keeps breaking down when many people try to use it at once. Back in 2021, the system couldn't handle all 364,011 tax returns people tried to submit. The website crashed much more often than it should have. Regina Chinamasa, who runs the tax office, admitted that the online system totally failed in 2021. Her team had to create emergency...

Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume called out the city's top managers for failing to fix run-down district offices. He pointed out that these managers live in huge homes that make the district offices look tiny. Reports say the town clerk pulls in over $30,000 monthly, and even the lowest-paid executive earns about $15,000 each month. These big earners keep quiet about their wealth. They drive used cars to work and sit on beat-up furniture, trying to hide how much money they make.
At a recent push to collect more city money, Mafume highlighted how small district offices looked compared to the fancy houses where city managers live. He said his house was small, but many managers had houses bigger than entire district offices. Mafume suggested...
