Four top Zimbabwe Media Commission employees showed up in court Friday charged with stealing millions of dollars worth of fuel. Executive Secretary Godwin Phiri, accountant Tafadzwa Chikwiti, administrator Mercy Hondo, and Revai Madire all stood together before Harare Magistrate Marewanazvo Gofa. The court hit them with two fraud charges but didn't ask them to answer yet. Each paid $600 US dollars in bail money and will come back on April 28.
Prosecutor Lancelot Mutsokoti said these crimes happened from May 2023 through February 2024. The four worked with fugitive Petros Mudhokwani to steal from their workplace. Mudhokwani requested fuel purchases from PetroTrade first. Then Chikwiti entered these requests into the commission's...

President Trump kicked out South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool from the United States. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted online Friday that Rasool wasn't "welcome in our great country" anymore. Rubio called him a "race-baiting politician who hates America and hates POTUS." He linked his message to a right-wing Breitbart article quoting Rasool, saying Trump used "supremacist instinct" and "white victimhood" as a "dog whistle" during the 2024 elections.
This expulsion adds to growing tensions between Trump's administration and South Africa. The African nation has backed Palestinian rights and led a case at the International Court of Justice claiming US ally Israel committed genocide in Gaza. Since Trump took office, Rasool hasn't...
A secret recording caught ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa badmouthing Vice President Constantino Chiwenga. He called him cruel, impossible to elect, and poorly educated, even claiming Chiwenga "has failed to grasp the difference between letters R and L." The UK group Dug Up released this audio as part of their latest investigation, showing growing fights between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Chiwenga.
Chiwenga, a former army general who helped remove President Robert Mugabe in November 2017, became very popular in Zimbabwe. His desire to become president has put him against former friends, including Mutsvangwa and Mnangagwa. Their main disagreement focuses on the upcoming Zanu PF party meeting, where Chiwenga apparently...
Elon Musk plans to send his Starship rocket to Mars before the end of next year, even as SpaceX investigates why several test flights ended with explosions. He posted on X that people might land on Mars as early as 2029, though he thinks 2031 seems more likely. At 123 meters tall, Starship is the biggest rocket ever built and plays a key role in Musk's dream to start Mars colonies.
The rocket has run into problems during tests. Just days ago, one blew up minutes after launching from Texas. This marked the second failure this year after a similar unexpected explosion happened back in January. SpaceX will check all the data to find what caused the latest problem. They noted it happened after they lost control of multiple engines.

MP Gathoni Wamuchomba says politics caused her firing as head of the Constitutional Oversight Committee. The outspoken lawmaker thinks her strong stand against money bills led to her removal. She stays loyal to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
"I expected this would happen because I refused to back harmful finance bills that hurt people," Wamuchomba stated after leaving her position. She claims she blocked bad guys from stealing 400 acres of land in Kiambu County. This land protection effort made powerful people mad at her.
"They kicked me out, but I have zero regrets about my service," she declared firmly. "These big shots may feel mighty today, but we will make them answer for what they took. Just wait." Wamuchomba believes...
Trump likes his chat with Putin about stopping the Ukraine war. He called their meeting good and helpful. Putin and US helper Steve Witkoff spoke Thursday in Moscow. After that talk, Russia said they felt hopeful about peace, just like America does.
