Kirsty Coventry made history Thursday as members picked her to lead the International Olympic Committee. The Zimbabwean swimmer became both the first woman and the first African to grab this major sports position. She talked about her win saying it proves the Olympics truly reach across the world.

The 41-year-old will run the organization until 2033. She might face early challenges meeting with Donald Trump about the LA 2028 Olympics. When asked about visiting the White House, she mentioned her experience dealing with tough men since age 20. She believes talking clearly will matter most when working with powerful people...
Zimbabwe picked Marshall Munetsi to play during the March international football break. He represents one of several Wolves players chosen by their countries for these matches. Wolves brought the 28-year-old Zimbabwean midfielder aboard at the last minute of transfer deadline day. He quickly became important under coach Vitor Pereira at his new club.
The Portuguese manager plays Munetsi higher up the field as an attacking midfielder. This position gives him the freedom to move forward into the box and make plays. Munetsi put his name on the scoresheet for Wolves against Everton about two weeks ago. The strong midfielder then joined his national team for World Cup games against Benin and Nigeria.
Thursday night saw Munetsi play deeper...
I often wonder how many married people can truly answer why they tied the knot. Did they marry for love, perhaps companionship, or perhaps they just followed what seemed like the next step?
Regardless of the reasons, marriage demands effort from both partners. Most couples hope to build something beautiful that lasts despite the challenges they face along the way. Modern life moves fast, leaving little space for romance between daily tasks.
Careers demand attention, family needs pile up, money worries appear, and social pressures mount—these all strain even strong relationships. It's no surprise that many marriages break apart under pressure. Previous articles mentioned date nights as connection opportunities for busy couples.

Armed suspect Luke Zinyengerere broke free yesterday at Harare Magistrates Court in a dramatic escape that shocked everyone present. He pulled out a gun when prison officers were taking inmates to a transport van. The officers froze when he aimed his weapon at them, completely surprising the security team. He then forced a driver out of a car and raced away from the courthouse.
People watching said someone from the jail might have sneaked the gun at him before the escape attempt. His partner, Tafadzwa Marondera, tried to run away but failed. Officers caught Marondera right away as he attempted to follow the same escape plan. Both men were already facing charges related to armed robbery before this latest incident happened.

The money supply of ZiG matches what the government wants for lasting money stability that buyers need, according to a Cabinet official. The Finance Minister, Professor Mthuli Ncube, described how the Treasury and the central bank keep strict control of spending. He said the current stable exchange rates, where official and street prices almost match, represent real stability that will continue for many months ahead. Some shoppers and business leaders worry about not having enough ZiG available, which they believe hurts economic activity.
Critics claim ZiG shortages create fake inflation levels that would jump if more local money entered circulation. Monthly inflation for the local currency equaled US dollar rates during January after...
The government plans to open new offices across neighborhood suburbs to speed up the title deeds program. People living in packed city areas will soon find it easier to submit their information. Justice Minister Ziyambi talked about this when lawmakers asked him how the program was moving forward. He explained they started with Epworth first to learn the best ways to help homeowners.
President Mnangagwa began this project back in 2023 to help people protect their homes. Many families lived in places that weren't officially recognized as proper housing areas. The title deed papers give them legal rights to their property that nobody can take away. These important documents make sure everyone knows exactly who legally lives where.
"We...
The Zimbabwe Defence Forces raised red flags yesterday about people wearing their uniforms illegally and posting personal views on social media platforms. These posts often contain individual thoughts about politics and money matters from regular citizens and ex-military personnel. Military leaders want everyone to know these messages never represent official military positions. The ZDF reminded the public they communicate through specific official channels only, not through any social media websites.
Military leaders pointed out that it remains illegal for anyone to wear their uniforms without permission. According to Defense Act laws, wearing military clothes when you're not an active member breaks Zimbabwe's rules completely. The...
