JZ Moyo High School Adopts Transformative Education Model
JZ Moyo High School changed everything about how it teaches kids. It created a fresh approach to staying strong among other schools in Zimbabwe. The head teacher, Mr. George Ndlovu, says this matches what the Heritage-Based Curriculum wants—students ready for jobs that require creative thinking. The school sits on Majoda Farm, just 12km north of West Nicholson Service Center. Back in 1982, they started this school for young people coming home from Zambia after Zimbabwe became independent. They chose a farm location because they believe in mixing book learning with hands-on skills. The Zimbabwe Foundation for Education with Production runs the place. They can hold 850 students but currently have 371 enrolled. They recently added 85-day...
ZRP Joins Crackdown on Illegal Vendors in Cities
Zimbabwe police plan to join forces with city guards to kick street sellers off public sidewalks. The Local Government Minister gave these vendors just two days to pack up and leave their spots. More people started selling at night recently, making the streets crowded and dirty and causing problems for regular stores downtown. Police spokesman Commissioner Nyathi made things crystal clear - they'll help cities make this happen fast. Nobody sits above the rules, and officers will make sure everyone follows them. Past cleanup tries turned into wild chases between police and vendors through city streets in places like Bulawayo and Harare. Every town faces the same rules with zero special treatment. Police teams will partner with local...

Solar-Powered Boreholes Transform Water Access in Lower Gweru
Lawmaker Brown Ndlovu changed lives across Lower Gweru by setting up ten solar-powered water pumps. These pumps help more than 3,000 families access clean water every day. Before this project, local people drank dirty water from the Gweru River. Many walked long distances just to find any water at all. The solar pumps work without electricity, making them perfect for rural areas. They run on sunshine instead of fuel or power lines, which is better for the environment and cheaper to operate long-term. Families can finally count on having clean water close to home. Minister Owen Ncube officially launched these pumps during a ceremony at Nsikeni Village last Thursday. He spoke to villagers about how water matters for everyone's daily...

Harare Vendors Clash With Authorities Over Eviction Crackdown
Everything went crazy in Harare after Mayor Jacob Mafume flipped his position on kicking street sellers out. He suddenly started fighting against the government's plan that force vendors to leave within two days. This shocked many because Mafume actually helped create this same plan earlier. His switch put him against the exact officials he worked with to bring police into the situation. Local Government Minister Daniel Garwe first announced the removal order. He claimed they needed to clean up the downtown area where unlicensed sellers crowd sidewalks. Mafume shocked everyone by attacking the plan publicly. He said city officers acted like "glorified bouncers" when they roughed up regular people just trying to make money. The gap...

Measuring Success Keeps Businesses Competitive and Thriving
Companies hurt themselves when they stop pushing forward. Past success makes many businesses lazy, letting competitors zoom ahead by trying new things. You need clear ways to track your progress if you want to keep growing. Smart businesses check their progress regularly and make changes based on what they find out.
