President Mnangagwa wants Southern Africans to stay alert about dangers facing their freedom and stability. He asks everyone to unite against unfair sanctions and actions that undermine national rights. The SADC chairman made these comments during a speech celebrating Southern Africa Liberation Day on March 23. He reminded citizens to reflect on past struggles aimed at controlling their economic resources.
The President called for increased alertness as independent nations face new threats. He urged all Southern African people to stand together when outsiders try to impose illegal penalties or use force against any member country. Citizens must protect what previous generations fought hard to achieve. Regional peace remains important...
Zimbabwe wants seven different helpers to pay off its old debts. These helpers include countries, big banks, and private money groups. They plan to give cash, make promises, and teach Zimbabwe how to fix its money problems. This marks a big step toward paying what they owe to foreign banks and countries.
First, Zimbabwe will undergo a nine-month test period with the International Monetary Fund, which should start after March ends. During this time, Zimbabwe must show that it handles money wisely. Good behavior unlocks cheaper loans from outside the country. Zimbabwe has already talked to three possible helpers about clearing its $7.5 billion in past-due bills.
Money Minister Mthuli Ncube says they keep talking with possible helpers...
President Mnangagwa will check how well government officials work tomorrow by watching them sign job agreements. These papers hold them responsible for what they promise to do. For the first time ever, assistant ministers, board members, and other high-ranking staff must sign these papers. Before this, only ministers and their top helpers had signed these agreements since 2021.
The President's office says these signed papers show leaders care about making money grow for everyone. They want jobs, wealth, growth, and fewer poor people across Zimbabwe. Since they started making people sign these papers, teams have finished more than 6,000 different projects. The government watched each project closely and awarded the best workers.

Zimbabwe's top prosecutor wants to stop land thieves from stealing empty properties. Justice Loyce Matanda-Moyo asked the High Court for help protecting valuable plots that nobody claimed after independence. Her office discovered these forgotten lands attract crooks who sell fake deeds to unsuspecting buyers. The government hopes this legal move will strengthen its fight against illegal land sales.
Chris Mutangadura from the Asset Forfeiture Unit filed papers targeting specific properties like a nice spot in Waterfalls, Harare. Someone tipped off the prosecutor about shady deals happening there. Officials checked old records and found this land never received proper ownership papers after the colonial rulers left in 1980. The plot sits...
Zimbabwe farmers will meet big-city investors next month at a special farming event. The Entrepreneurs Network plans to bring everyone together on April 11 in Harare. They want to show how farms can make Zimbabwe rich under the national 2030 plan. This gathering focuses on making enough food, finding new money, and creating better products.
Farming runs Zimbabwe's economy right at its core. Farms create almost one-fifth of everything the country earns each year. About seven out of ten people work growing crops or raising animals, especially in country areas. Farming connects to food factories, overseas buyers, and banks, helping many different businesses grow across Zimbabwe.
The meeting matches what Zimbabwe's farming department...
Zimbabwe starts a big trade meeting tomorrow at Victoria Falls. Representatives from every country in Southern Africa will spend five days talking about ways to make buying and selling across borders easier. These meetings happen March 24 through 28 and help create rules for all member nations to follow. The ideas discussed directly shape what government ministers decide later.
As the current leader of the Southern African group, Zimbabwe can push for changes that help local businesses sell more products to neighboring countries. Industry Minister Mangaliso Ndlovu sees this as a chance to grow business throughout the entire region. The minister believes these technical talks lead to real policy decisions that affect everyone who trades...
Zimbabwe carries a special place in the world of music. It has strong roots in traditional sounds like mbira, marimba, and dance rhythms that fill gatherings with joy. Hip-hop arrived in this environment many years back. Today, it is one of the most vibrant elements of the local music scene. Young performers, producers, and fans have embraced rap in ways that blend local language and culture with global influences. This creates a colorful, energetic style.
People often see rap as an import from overseas. Yet Zimbabwe's hip-hop scene has developed its own identity with a spirit of innovation. From the earliest days, local DJs and emcees adapted rap to reflect everyday life in high-density suburbs, small towns, and beyond. That process...
The brand new Mbare Traders Market stands ready for business, with President Mnangagwa set to cut the ribbon early next month. This huge marketplace will welcome over 4,000 sellers and aim to kick out those pesky space barons who once controlled the area. Last October 8, a fire destroyed the original Mbare Musika, burning away about five million US dollars worth of goods and structures.
Department of Civil Protection boss Nathan Nkomo says traders should pack up soon for their move to the new location. Once everyone settles into their spots, workers will start rebuilding the main Mbare Traders Market even better than before. According to Nkomo, April 2025 marks the big opening day. Road crews from Harare City and the Ministry of Local...
Zimbabwe started flying sick people to hospitals just seven months ago. They have already moved 267 patients through the air. This service helps many babies and children who live far from good medical care. The Russian company HeliDrive runs special aircraft that reach places regular ambulances cannot go.
Medical teams airlifted 76 children under the age of 18 this year, including 21 tiny babies, some only hours old. The flying doctors took 75 sick folks to Harare—60 grown-ups and 15 kids. They carried another 30 patients to Bulawayo hospitals—20 adults plus 10 children who needed fast help.
These flying hospitals carry medical gear just like real emergency rooms. Highly trained doctors work inside them during flights. Regular...
