Oyakhilome Fast Flop as Angel Goes Rogue in Zim
Nigerian preacher Pastor Chris Oyakhilome wants people in Zimbabwe to skip meals and pray this Sunday, March 31, 2025. He says the devil threatens the country because of protests planned that same day. He thinks these protests will cause trouble and create chaos across Zimbabwe. His message appeared in a video shared by Zimbabwe government talker Nick Mnangagana. Many find his words surprising since his student Uebert Angel has caused problems with violent religious acts and possible crimes. Pastor Chris speaks up as Zimbabwe faces hard times with money problems and bad leadership. He asks Christians to pray and fast to stop what he calls an evil plan to hurt the nation. He warns against letting the devil take control and claims people...
Machinga Nabs Bishop Gig as Zimbabwe Church Gets a Shakeup
People in Zimbabwe picked Rev. Gift Kudakwashe Machinga as their new United Methodist bishop. He won the election on March 15, when church leaders met in Johannesburg. He needed 40 votes to win, and he got 41 out of 60 on the twelfth round of voting. After winning, he thanked the other candidates from Zimbabwe and asked church members to work with him. The church held a special ceremony for Machinga on March 16 and sent him to lead Zimbabwe. He took over for Bishop Eben Nhiwatiwa, who retired. Machinga will guide both the east and west parts of Zimbabwe for the church. Bishops start with a four-year job, but they can stay longer if people vote for them again. Machinga became the third bishop chosen that day. The church also picked...
Rev Muzorewa calls out West on gay church rules
Former church leader Reverend Gwinyai Muzorewa asked the current United Methodist Church Zimbabwe bishop to let church members vote about homosexuality. He sent Bishop Eben Nhiwatiwa a letter pushing for a special meeting where Zimbabweans could make their choice. This comes after the main church decided to accept homosexuality starting May 3. The Book of Discipline paragraph saying homosexuality goes against Christian teaching has split the church into different camps. Muzorewa wrote on October 21 that African churches never got the chance to speak up. He called this a forced change by Western churches that hurts African spiritual values. He wrote that the days of colonial rule had ended, and Africans should choose practices that...

Geza gets lit as his house is bombed and cars burn
Someone threw petrol bombs at Blessed Geza's house last night. Reports say attackers hit his farm in Sanyati with firebombs. Many sources confirm this happened, though officials haven't made any statement yet about the attack. Geza worked as a top spy and fought in Zimbabwe's war. He plans to lead other veterans in a big protest on March 31. They want President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa kicked out of power right away. Just yesterday, Geza admitted he arranged the burning of cars. Those vehicles belonged to several rich businessmen—Wicknell Chivayo, Tino Machakaire, Kuda Tagwirei, and John Mangudya—who have close ties to the president. The attack on Geza's home comes shortly after he publicly challenged Mnangagwa. Violence seems to...
Govt mocks clown show car burn on rich pals
Nick Mangwana laughed at people who burned cars near businesses tied to President Mnangagwa's friends. As Zimbabwe's main government talker, Mangwana made fun of these fires, calling them badly planned stunts. He posted online about how silly he thought these acts were. His message spread fast, reaching over 205,000 people who saw it. Police said four cars burned in different parts of Harare early Friday morning. These attacks hit places in Avondale, Highlands, Newlands, and Goromonzi between midnight and 4 AM. The people who did this drove cars to each spot, set them on fire, then jumped into other waiting cars to escape. Commissioner Paul Nyathi shared these details with the public after reports came in. The fires targeted...
Chitungwiza gang bags 74k in wild Marondera farm heist
Five new robbery suspects went to court yesterday. The police say they robbed Mr. Wicknell Chivayo's in-laws and took $74,000 from their farm. All five live in Chitungwiza. Their names are Garikai Shangwa, Temptation Gerald Dinhidza, Arnold Tafirei, Tawanda Mushayatu, and Mike Mhaka. Each person faces two robbery charges. They stood before regional judge Mrs. Marehwanazvo Gofa. Regular courts can't let these guys out on bail—only the High Court handles that for robbery cases. The judge sent them back to jail until April 10. These five join three others caught earlier for the same crime. The police say eight people did this robbery. The prosecutor, Mr. Lancelot Mutsokoti, told everyone what had happened. He said eight people plus...
Geza House Burned in Politician Turf Tiff
Someone threw petrol bombs at the house of Blessed Geza last night. People see this as politically driven terror against him. Geza fights against corruption and served as a war veteran in Zimbabwe.

They cut through wire fencing to reach his property. Photos show burned walls, destroyed roofs, and scattered debris across his land. Messages spreading since early morning confirm that nobody got hurt during the attack. Geza stands out as a major voice against President Emmerson Mnangagwa. He plans to lead big protests on March 31, asking for the president to step down. Many...
Your Daggers Are Dead in Zimbabwe
The police in Zimbabwe just banned people from carrying certain weapons in public. This change affects four districts: Beitbridge, Gwanda, Plumtree, and Umzingwane. The ban starts March 27 and runs until June 29, 2025. Police made this decision because violent crimes have increased significantly lately. You can't carry items like catapults, machetes, axes, knobkerries, swords, knives, or daggers during these three months. The police based their decision on Section 2(4) of the Maintenance of Peace and Order Act. They want to stop crimes such as murder, assault, robbery, domestic violence, break-ins, theft and rape. Anyone who breaks this rule faces serious trouble. The law says you might pay a level five fine or spend up to six months...
