War veterans from Zimbabwe have asked President Emmerson Mnangagwa to resign from office. These veterans belong to the ruling Zanu-PF Party and claim the president shows favoritism to family members, allows corruption, and has failed to fix the country's dying economy. Leaders of the Zanu-PF Party say they aren't taking these demands seriously.
Blessed Runesu Geza spoke at an online press conference. He fought in Zimbabwe's freedom wars of the 1960s and 1970s and sits on Zanu-PF's central committee. Geza demanded the president leave office right away.
He said Mnangagwa hasn't kept promises he made back in 2017 when the army helped him take power. Many fighters who died for the country's freedom don't have proper graves, Geza...
Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa has removed Lt. General Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwe from the Zimbabwe Defence Forces. Martin Rushwaya, the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, made this known in a statement today. The retirement happens immediately.
Sanyatwe moved straight from his job as Commander of the Zimbabwe National Army to become the Minister of Sport, Recreation, Arts, and Culture. The President based these changes on section 216 and section 340 of Zimbabwe's Constitution plus section 115 of the Defence Act. He acted both as President and Commander in Chief when making these decisions.
This marks the second time Sanyatwe has left the military. Back in 2019, he retired and became Zimbabwe's ambassador to Tanzania...
Zimbabwe faces a significant political event scheduled for 31 March. War veterans loyal to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga plan a nationwide protest against President Emmerson Mnangagwa. They call this event the 31 March Movement. The movement's goal is to demand that President Mnangagwa step down due to accusations of corruption and poor governance.
The movement's leaders chose this date carefully. It symbolizes unity and action among supporters of Chiwenga, who feel betrayed by Mnangagwa's leadership. Many Zimbabweans see similarities between the current tensions and the political situation in 2017. Back then, protests led to President Robert Mugabe's removal from power.
Who is Blessed Geza, and Why Does He Matter?

Students at Zhomba High School started acting really strange, and school leaders had to send everyone home. This happened in Gokwe after kids began showing bizarre behaviors that people believed might be caused by spirits.

Mr. Martin Musakanda runs the Gokwe North District and said officials were heading to the school to check things out. The school principal, Mr. Washington Chikunichawa, made the call to send the students away because their actions scared other kids. Local chiefs planned a meeting to figure out what steps to take...
