Zimbabwe keeps moving forward to fix its late debt payments. The country needs to reshape what it owes and make everything current rather than overdue. By early next year, Zimbabwe should rejoin the worldwide money community in good standing.
The next step involves the International Monetary Fund checking Zimbabwe's books for nine months straight. This ongoing review helps Zimbabwe prove it manages money well. Once it passes this test, it can finish deals with other countries and banks to restructure its overdue payments.
When Zimbabwe clears these late payments, lenders will no longer view the country as risky. This will lead to cheaper loans for regular needs. Plus, Zimbabwe can access super cheap loans from worldwide groups that...
Zimbabwe and Pakistan want to work together more closely across many areas. Both countries aim to make their economies stronger through new partnerships. This became clear when Pakistan's Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Murad Baseer, visited Defence Minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri last Friday in Harare. They talked about many ways to build better relationships between their nations.
These two countries have been friends since before Zimbabwe became independent. Pakistan helped train fighters during Zimbabwe's freedom struggle. After Zimbabwe gained independence, Pakistan assisted with training pilots for the new Air Force of Zimbabwe. Their friendship has lasted through many changes in world politics.

Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education says anyone using fake degrees or false titles must stop immediately. If they continue, they face both civil and criminal charges. Officials found more than 12 fake schools giving out worthless degrees across the country. Remember that Zimbabwe only accepts degrees from 21 registered universities plus two international schools.
ZIMCHE released a statement yesterday telling these fake schools to shut down operations immediately. They must take back all the phony degrees they handed out. Anyone who received these fake qualifications should stop claiming them as real. Many of these places keep breaking the law by enrolling students and printing worthless diplomas despite repeated warnings.

SADC celebrated Southern Africa Liberation Day yesterday, March 23. The President, who currently leads SADC, asked all citizens to protect what their freedom fighters achieved. He said everyone must guard their shared independence and land.

Makerere University has a new student leader. James Churchill Ssentamu just became the 91st guild president after taking his oath. He defeated John Bosco Rukundo, who ran for the ruling NRM party, and Ismaili Basalirwa, who carried the flag for the opposition NUP. The family runs deep in politics here - Ssentamu happens to be the nephew of NUP big shot Robert Kyagulanyi, who most people call Bobi Wine. Yet Ssentamu entered the race as an independent when he failed to grab the NUP nomination earlier.
The campus faces serious problems as Ssentamu replaces outgoing president Vincent Lubega Nsamba. Students struggle with higher tuition prices every semester. They report backdoor dealings, restrictions on academic choices, and limited...
The Crow Hill Company just released another free music tool. Its name is "Vaults: Acid Synth," and it sounds exactly like the famous Roland TB-303 Bass Line—the machine that started acid house music. When you open it, you'll find a clean, easy-to-use screen. The makers built it to quickly create those classic 303 bass sounds we all know.
Two big knobs sit right in the middle for changing filter cutoff and resonance. Next to them, a Mod dial controls how much fake electricity hits the filter, giving you many sound options. The Decay knob affects all sound envelopes. Echo and Splosh buttons let you add built-in effects. Play overlapping notes, and you'll hear that signature "glide" effect the original TB-303 became famous for.
