Chivayo Disses Geza and Stands with Mnangagwa
Businessman Wicknell Chivayo slammed Blessed Geza about his Monday protest plans. Chivayo posted on Facebook, telling Zimbabweans to stay away from demonstrations set up by the former Zanu PF committee member. He called Geza a failure at politics who runs with criminals and angry opposition members. Chivayo insisted these actions go against what Zimbabwe stands for. According to Chivayo, Zimbabwe prides itself on peace and smart citizens who follow Christian values and obey laws. He claimed calls for illegal protests clash with the true Zimbabwean spirit. Chivayo labeled Geza as someone who lost respect, became useless in politics, and ran from justice. He said Geza tries to cause trouble from another country after being kicked out of...
Zimbabwe leadership showdown Mnangagwa vs Chiwenga
Zimbabwe faces a major crisis as President Mnangagwa reportedly wants to stay in power after his final term ends in 2028. Citizens across the country worry about what might happen next. Many groups plan to protest against his staying longer than allowed. The resistance comes from regular people, political opponents, and even former war heroes. These war veterans once helped Mnangagwa take over from Robert Mugabe in 2017. They have changed sides and back Vice President Constantino Chiwenga instead. They blame Mnangagwa for making the economy worse and not fixing serious money problems. Thousands will likely join the protests planned for tomorrow. The current situation looks similar to when Mugabe lost power six years ago. Professor...
Old power games in Zimbabwe, nothing new
The army helped Emerson Mnangagwa grab power in Zimbabwe back in 2017. He kicked out his old boss, Robert Mugabe, and kept control through two shaky elections with help from the armed forces. These days, he fears someone might do the same to him. He recently fired his spy chief, police boss, and army commander to protect himself from any takeover. His second-in-command, Constantino Chiwenga, wants the top job badly. Earlier this year, people suggested changing laws to let Mnangagwa stay longer than allowed. Chiwenga hated that idea. Former freedom fighters and political big shots have turned against the president and called for street protests on March 31. These people can easily find unhappy citizens - about two-thirds of Zimbabweans...
Murkomen wants more control over unruly youth
Kenya's Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen wants tighter limits on what young people can do. He spoke out Sunday, saying the Gen Z generation cannot simply act however they please.

Murkomen shared these thoughts during a church event celebrating AIC Makueni's eighth anniversary in Meru County. He complained about young people mocking leaders online. President William Ruto made similar comments back in January when youth activism against his administration increased on social media.

Copenhagen and Aarhus protest US stance on Greenland
People filled the streets of Copenhagen and Aarhus this weekend with signs saying Denmark should keep control of Greenland. They came together because U.S. Vice President JD Vance had just visited Pituffik Space Base the day before. During his trip, Vance blasted Denmark for failing at Arctic safety and not helping Greenlandic citizens enough. The angry crowds wanted to send a clear message that Americans should back off. Mogens Lykketoft stood before the Copenhagen crowd and fired them up with a speech. As a big name in Danish politics who once led the United Nations General Assembly and served as foreign minister, his words carried weight. He pushed for taking the issue to the UN, where most countries would slam what he called...
Trump shrugs off price hikes as tariffs hit foreign cars
Donald Trump says he does not care if car prices go up after his new 25% tax on cars made outside America. He told NBC News that higher prices for foreign cars would push people to buy American-made vehicles instead. Trump believes America makes plenty of cars already. His taxes on imported cars start April 2, with charges hitting businesses the next day. Taxes on car parts come later in May. Trump told car company leaders they should feel happy about his plan. He said companies making cars in America will earn lots of money. Those who don't build here might need to move their factories. Recent polls from CBS News say 72% of Americans think prices will rise because of these taxes. Over half say Trump isn't focusing enough on making...
ODM election chaos hits grassroots ahead of votes
Raila Odinga faces big trouble inside his Orange party as members complain about upcoming elections.

These areas include Ndhiwa, Rongo, Nyando, Nyakach, Embakasi West, Mathare, Ruaraka, Langata, Suna West, Matayos, and Kwale County.

He claims many listed delegates never won any election at polling stations. Another local...
Zanu PF infighting as plot to remove Chiwenga surfaces
The Standard reported that a team in Zimbabwe's ruling Zanu PF party tried to kick Vice President Constantino Chiwenga out of his job. The Sunday paper said big fights inside the party stopped this plan. These battles show growing problems as different groups want control before the 2028 elections. Chiwenga helped bring President Emmerson Mnangagwa to power during a 2017 military action. He seems to have hopes of becoming president himself. This makes many party leaders nervous, especially after Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi talked about Mnangagwa staying president until 2030. The Standard claims some party members see Chiwenga as dangerous to their plans. They want to push him aside through changes in party jobs and government...
