Geoffrey Nyarota died Saturday at 74 after fighting colon cancer for a long time. He made his name as a brave reporter who dug deep into corruption cases in Zimbabwe. His biggest story came in 1989 when he showed how government officials bought cars cheaply and sold them for huge profits. Five ministers had to quit because of what he found out. The bosses fired him from his job at The Chronicle for telling this truth.
Trevor Ncube called him a pioneer who faced cancer with courage. Even government spokesman Ndavaningi Mangwana praised him as a media giant who changed how journalism worked in Zimbabwe. Former editor Brezhnev Malaba pointed out that some crooks Nyarota exposed back in the 1980s still act like leaders today. He said this...
Fuel costs hurt many families in Zimbabwe these days. Almost all sellers want USD payments, making cheaper RTGS fuel nearly impossible to find. More drivers turn to gas-saving cars to stretch their dollars further. Smart car choices help people manage in tough economic times.

Actual drivers report numbers between 25-30 kilometers per liter during everyday use. Regular oil changes, proper tire pressure, and smooth driving habits make these numbers possible.
Several generations of Honda Fit have existed in Zimbabwe since the late 2000s. The first models (2001-2007)...
