The Midlands area houses rich mining deposits with gold, platinum, diamonds, chrome and several other valuable minerals. This region has raised many politically active citizens who shaped Zimbabwe through their contributions. Early freedom fighters who helped make Zimbabwe independent came from these lands. Among the many heroes, President Mnangagwa stands out as the most famous figure from this part of the country.
Many great leaders from the Midlands sleep eternally at National Heroes Acre memorial grounds. Lieutenant-General Sibusiso Moyo rests there after serving as Foreign Affairs Minister. Cephas Msipa lived from 1931 to 2016 and worked as a teacher, philanthropist, and government official after independence. He started with the...
In early 2025, superstar rapper Drake took the surprising step of suing Universal Music Group (UMG), the major label responsible for releasing much of his music. Drake claims UMG damaged his reputation by promoting Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Not Like Us," which he says falsely dangerously portrayed him.
Drake specifically accused UMG of defamation and harassment because the song suggested he engaged in inappropriate behavior. He claims this portrayal endangered him and his family, causing security issues like break-ins and threats at his home.
The Diss Track That Triggered the Suit
In May 2024, Kendrick Lamar dropped "Not Like Us," directly targeting Drake. The track accused Drake of highly inappropriate actions, causing outrage and...
Zimbabwe just bought 800 new farm machines from Belarus to help farmers work better. The big purchase includes 700 tractors, 80 combine harvesters, and 30 grain carriers. All these machines will arrive throughout the current year. Farmers can choose from different tractor sizes ranging from 81 to 155 horsepower.
The government plans to sell these tractors to farmers through a very farmer-friendly payment plan. You only need to pay over three years with a low 7.5 percent yearly interest rate. No extra property is needed as backup for the loan. Any farmer, farm business, or farming group can apply to buy these machines.
Mr. Leonard Munamati from Agricultural Advisory Services talked about these plans with reporters. He said these...
Zimbabwe plans to hold public talks starting next month about past violence in Matabeleland and Midlands. These talks mark a breakthrough for unity efforts by the current government.

These discussions will tackle why the violence happened years ago. The government hopes to bring closure through various helpful programs. Since becoming president, Mr. Mnangagwa has promised complete openness about the country's difficult history. He remains committed to addressing these historical problems directly.
Mrs Virginia Mabiza, who serves as Attorney...
Drake keeps fighting Universal Music Group through legal channels about the song "Not Like Us." At the same time, Kanye West tries to start trouble with him and many other music stars. Drake recently put out a new album called "ome $exy $ongs 4 U" but seems more worried about older music problems. UMG asked courts to throw out his defamation lawsuit about the Kendrick Lamar song that attacked him. His lawyers quickly answered back, pushing harder on their claims that the company tried to avoid responsibility.
Drake's attorney, Michael Gottlieb, wrote in court papers that they know about illegal money paid to outside groups promoting the West Coast song. His legal team says UMG did sneaky things like secretly paying a popular podcast...
Wack 100 fired back at Eugene "Big U" Henley Thursday after serious claims. He jumped on Clubhouse on March 20 to clear his name just one day after Henley gave himself up to face federal charges. These charges included murder plots, forcing money from people, plus fraud schemes.
Henley called Wack an informant before turning himself in. He said Wack helped the FBI build cases against him and his friends. Wack mocked these claims during his talk. He asked how Henley failed to see the raids coming when everyone else could. He flatly denied sharing court papers about illegal activities anywhere online.
The rap manager laughed at being blamed for the massive police operation. "This has nothing to do with Wack!" he yelled during his heated...
Zimbabwe army leaders spoke up against people wearing military clothes or pretending to be soldiers. They made this statement after war veteran Blessed Geza appeared in a viral video wearing a full army uniform. Geza wants President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down right away and demands police arrest his friends, who he says steal huge amounts of money.
Many social media channels shared the video in which Geza calls for mass protests on March 31. He hopes these protests will force out Mnangagwa, who still has three years left as president. Geza feels angry because Mnangagwa wants to change the Constitution for personal benefit. Some party members want him to stay until 2030, even though the law says he must leave by 2028 after serving...

This recording spread across internet platforms yesterday. Wack pointed fingers at different people who should raise concern for Eugene. He challenged Eugene directly about street credibility and...
