Mnangagwa Gets Real with Zanu PF on Future of Zimbabwe
President Mnangagwa talked to his Zanu PF buddies at their main office Wednesday during a big party meeting. He told everyone they needed to care more about regular Zimbabweans. "We must walk alongside the people, understand their challenges, and work towards uplifting their livelihoods," he said. He wants party members to pay attention to what regular citizens actually need. He made it clear that Zimbabwe would stick to its constitution and stay independent. "Zimbabwe will forever be a constitutional democracy and sovereign nation," he declared to the room. He talked about everyone living together peacefully. Then he switched languages and added something that basically means troublemakers will fall behind as Zimbabwe keeps moving...
President Fumbles as Army Chief Takes a Cabinet Seat
President Mnangagwa broke the law on March 25 when he appointed Army Commander Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwe to run the Ministry of Sport. This action went against what Zimbabwe's Constitution allows presidents to do. Legal experts say this transfer happened without following the right steps. The Defense Act requires Parliament to know about military retirements before they happen. By March 27, Parliament leaders had not received any paperwork about Sanyatwe leaving the army. No one has been named to take over his military job yet, which means he still holds his army position legally. The Constitution clearly says active military members cannot hold government jobs or do political work. This rule exists to keep the military separate from...
Farm heist nets 74K lobola cash
Police arrested two men linked to a big cash robbery at a farm connected to businessman Wicknell Chivayo. Peter Maramba Vhiya, 43, and Takudzwa Maisvoreva, 24, from Chitungwiza, faced robbery charges in court. Regional Magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa told them only the High Court could free them on bail. The judge kept them locked up until April 10, waiting for police to catch a third suspect. The robbery happened March 18 around 1 AM at Alfa and Omega Farm in Marondera. Prosecutor Lancelot Mutsokoti said the thieves came armed with rifles, pistols, machetes, iron bars, and bolt cutters. They beat up security guard Petros Mabunhu, kicked him many times, and tied his hands and legs with cable ties. They forced him into the farm area, where...
Mavetera in Hot Water Over Musvo Dubious Cabinet Ties
War veteran Blessed Geza pointed his finger at Zimbabwe ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera during an online speech heard across the nation. The political whistleblower known as Cde Bombshell claimed Mavetera struck some kind of secret deal with President Emmerson Mnangagwa to secure her Cabinet job. He hinted at something questionable between them without giving specifics. Mavetera came from a media background before joining politics under the ZANU PF political party. She remains silent about these claims despite several attempts by reporters to contact her for comments. The accusations form just one part of Geza's broader attack against government leaders. Geza accused many high-ranking officials of stealing government resources and...
Preacher Cancels Service Dodging Whistleblower Heat
Uebert Angel, a preacher and diplomat from Zimbabwe, just canceled his "Prophetic Service" event hours after changing the date. Many people think he did this because of what Blessed Geza, an army veteran and political informant known as Cde Bombshell, said about him. Geza made some hard-hitting claims against Angel. Angel has links to the Al Jazeera Gold Mafia investigation. He says he fears that coming back to the UK might put his life at risk. Earlier, Angel posted on X (formerly Twitter) that his event would move from Thursday to Friday, March 28, at the Harare Hippodrome. Just hours later, the same poster appeared again with a big red "CANCELLED" stamp across it. A social media user named @LynneStactia shared this and wrote: "Ichi...
Army chief out, Sanyatwe takes over sports role
President Mnangagwa fired army boss Sanyatwe Tuesday night and removed him from military service completely. Next, he named Sanyatwe the new person running sports across Zimbabwe. This fills the empty seat left when Kirsty Coventry won big at the Olympic Committee. The president made these changes right away—no waiting around. A newspaper called The Standard already knew this might happen. They printed a story about it last weekend. People say Sanyatwe hangs out with Vice-President Chiwenga's group. Martin Rushwaya officially told everyone about the switch. Political expert Eldred Masunungure thinks Mnangagwa feels scared someone might try to take his job. "This seems like the president wants to stop anyone planning to push him out,"...
Mnangagwa tells vendors to ditch night trading
President Mnangagwa asked street sellers to watch out for "bad guys" who want everyone to protest against him next Monday. He talked with these sellers at his big house on Wednesday. He told them not to sell things after dark anymore and wanted them to run their small shops cleanly and tidy. The president warned street sellers to keep their eyes open and warned them about crooks calling for big protests on March 31. "We must have order," he said. He believes the country should stay neat, not messy, with sellers everywhere. Earlier this month, the government asked all sellers to move away from streets where they shouldn't be. Many sellers ignored these words. Mnangagwa promised his plans to make selling more official would not hurt...
Mnangagwa shifts army head to sports role
President Mnangagwa fired his army boss on Tuesday and sent Lieutenant General Anselem Sanyatwe to run the sports department instead. Nobody knows exactly why he made this change. Political fights are heating up years before the next big election, planned for 2028. The president immediately fired Sanyatwe from the military. Martin Rushwaya, who works directly under the president, announced this news. Sanyatwe must leave his job as Zimbabwe National Army commander. His new assignment puts him far from military power. Sanyatwe once led the special guards who protect the president. The 69-year-old served as Zimbabwe's top person in Tanzania previously. America punished him back in 2019 for human rights problems. They blamed him when...
Mnangagwa reassigns top military in power tussle
President Mnangagwa kicked out his top army leader and made him run sports instead. He moved Lieutenant General Anselem Sanyatwe away from military power after Kirsty Coventry left to head the Olympic Committee. This move heated the fight inside Zimbabwe's ruling party. Sanyatwe strongly supports Vice President Chiwenga, making this change look personal. The army helped Mnangagwa grab power back in 2017 when they forced old President Mugabe to leave. Vice President Chiwenga, who used to command soldiers himself, led that takeover. Many believe he wants to become president next. Some party members are pushing for Mnangagwa to quit before the next big vote in 2028. Experts say Mnangagwa fears the military might turn against him just...
