He expects this big win when they meet in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League. Their game happens at Barbourfields Stadium on March 30, after players return from international duties. The confident club boss sent clear messages to the Bulawayo team before their upcoming match.
He firmly stated they would travel to Bulawayo and definitely win with a 4-0 score.

His predictions show extreme faith in what his expensively built squad can achieve both soon and later. Looking even...
Kirsty Coventry, 41, just became the next President of the International Olympic Committee. She works as the Sports Minister in Zimbabwe. Seven people wanted this job, but she won through a secret vote held today, March 20, in Greece. The members picked her up during their big meeting in Costa Navarino.
She will run things for eight years starting soon. Thomas Bach led the Olympics before her, starting back in 2013. He won again in 2021 but must step aside for Coventry. She breaks new ground as both the first woman and the first African person to lead the world's biggest sports group.
The handover happens on June 23, which Olympic fans know as Olympic Day. Bach stays boss until then. After that, he left his membership spot and became...
G.Skill just released new DDR5 memory that packs 96 GB total with two 48 GB sticks running at DDR5-6000 speeds and CL26 timing. They made it, especially for AMD AM5 systems. This memory handles big jobs like content creation and 3D modeling, and AI works really well. The company tested it with AMD Ryzen chips and found it works great under pressure. They also offer smaller 48 GB kits (two 24 GB sticks) with similar CL26-36-36-96 timing. Both options give you lots of memory that responds quickly, which helps everything run smoothly on newer AMD computers.
Thanks to AMD EXPO support, you can easily boost performance. This support lets you change memory settings right in your motherboard's BIOS, allowing you to adjust your setup for...

Armed thieves attacked a village in Kathare, Meru County, stealing dozens of farm animals and shooting a man. These criminals threw a live grenade at a home during their raid, but it fell on soft ground and failed to blow up. Police later found the unexploded grenade and safely removed it for testing and disposal. The group of bandits hit a farm on Monday, March 17, making off with 16 cows, 14 goats, and one sheep.
These same attackers then moved to another home nearby, where they stole 25 more cows and 34 additional goats. During their crime spree, they shot a local man, injuring his lower left leg bone. The thieves loaded all the stolen animals onto a truck that drove away toward the Burat area. The injured victim received medical...
Gold prices hit new highs as world tensions heat up before the Federal Reserve makes its interest rate call. The precious metal jumped past $3,039 per ounce, breaking the record set just a day earlier. Donald Trump asked for a 30-day pause in the Ukraine war, but Russian President Putin said no to this request. Safe money flows increased as Israel broke its Hamas agreement with bombs across Gaza that killed hundreds of people.
The Fed will likely keep rates unchanged when they meet today. Investors will pay close attention to what the bank predicts for the economy and listen carefully to Chair Powell's news talk for hints about future money rules. Although gold typically suffers when rates stay high because it pays no interest, fears...
Zimbabwe and Switzerland just signed a deal to stop taxing the same money twice. This agreement helps businesses from both countries avoid paying taxes twice on identical income. When companies face double taxation, they hesitate to invest across borders. Minister Mthuli Ncube explained this agreement removes the barrier between the two nations.
Swiss companies already buy many products from Zimbabwe. Nespresso purchases coffee beans from the Eastern Highlands region, and Nestle makes Cerevita breakfast cereal right in Harare. Other Swiss businesses operating locally include ABB, Syngenta, Organic Africa, and Schindler. The agreement will likely attract even more Swiss investment into Zimbabwe.
The new tax deal blocks sneaky moves by...
Michael Smith faces court hearings again for allegedly cheating Mr Cruiser's car company out of $38,000 US dollars plus R124,000 South African rand. The government recently brought forward two important witnesses against him. Smith stands accused of stealing trust property twice, committing fraud twelve times, and hiding twenty-five transactions from his boss, Michael Scott Asher. Mrs Ethel Chichera presides as the Harare magistrate for this case.
Sophia Mupariwa took the stand first. She worked under Smith at MA Auto Suppliers as a customer service advisor. Her job included helping customers, booking vehicles, checking cars, and creating price quotes, among other duties. Mupariwa testified that Smith ran daily operations as director...
Gold prices reached a record $3,000 per ounce, making Kavango Resources much more hopeful about their gold projects in Zimbabwe. The London company sees big promise in their Hillside gold project near Bulawayo after recent exploration. The price of gold shot up 13.6 percent past $3,000 last week, boosting the outlook for Zimbabwe operations. People buy gold as a safe place for money during global uncertainty and worries about Trump's trade policies.
Kavango believes a former owner may have hidden the true value of the Hillside mine at Prospect 1. This previous owner wanted to keep future mining opportunities for themselves. Recent mapping work and fixing old shafts uncovered gold deposits nobody knew existed. These discoveries show the...
