Chiefs in Gokwe District feel special because the government picked their area to host the main independence party this year. They say this choice breaks the old idea that everyone ignores Gokwe and shows it matters just as much as other places in the country. Zimbabwe marks 45 years free from colonial rule at Nembudziya Growth Point in Gokwe North. The celebration uses the phrase "Zim@45: Devolve and Develop Together towards Vision 2030."
About 60,000 people will come from every corner of Zimbabwe. The current government moves these big national parties around the country instead of keeping them in one place. Chief Chireya thanked the leaders for letting Gokwe host such an important event. He said he saw amazing changes happening when...
People feel emotionally tired from bad relationships and repeated heartbreak. This hidden problem stops many from enjoying healthy connections with others. They stay stuck instead of moving forward. Emotional tiredness sneaks up slowly, taking away joy and closeness between partners.
You feel completely worn out, not from missing sleep but from trying hard every day. You keep giving and pretending everything works great when it doesn't. Someone might think at night: "I'm tired of trying, hurting, and staying strong." Yet nobody talks about this elephant in the room - this truth we hide even from ourselves.
Being emotionally exhausted shows your humanity, not weakness. Remember, feeling bad sometimes happens to everyone. You need...

James Mupfupi fights for his life at Matope Clinic in Mount Darwin. The 27-year-old miner lies weak on a thin mattress, his body ravaged by cholera. He drinks from a shared well near his mining camp. "I never understood cholera until it hit me," he says quietly. Many miners use the bushes as bathrooms because one toilet serves countless workers.
The cholera crisis has struck 340 people across Mashonaland Central. Eight have died already. More than twelve patients remain in treatment centers. Health officials worry as this marks the fourth straight outbreak in the province. Miners along Mazowe River face the highest risk due to their living situation.
Gold draws thousands of people to Mazowe River and its branches. They come searching...
Police want people to solve problems peacefully after they recorded over 1,100 killings last year. Many deaths happened because of small arguments about things like chairs or just one dollar. The national police spokesperson talked about this at a lunch where a local security company wanted to discuss ways to fight crime. He shared information about crime patterns across Zimbabwe and gave tips to help people avoid becoming victims.
Commissioner Paul Nyathi explained that murder numbers went up compared to 2023. Police first check every killing as a murder. Courts often change this to culpable homicide when they learn the person did not mean to kill but acted dangerously. The police recorded 1,085 murder cases in 2023. This number rose...
Private businesses will help run important public services throughout Zimbabwe as the government looks for new ways to fix problems like not enough water in Harare. The Local Government Ministry teamed up with Harare city officials to sign a deal with Helcraw Electricals and Hangzhou Laison Technology Company, which will bring smart water meters. These meters make sure money keeps coming in to fix broken pipes, keep everything running well, and make water systems bigger - plus, they stop bills from going to homes that never see a drop of water. Minister Daniel Garwe explained on Wednesday that letting private companies handle Harare's water doesn't strip away city authority but instead makes every step of water delivery work better...
Fans who dislike Scottland celebrated wildly yesterday at Rufaro when Ngezi Platinum Stars handed the Mabvuku team their first-season loss. Many supporters at the stadium backed Ngezi despite having no previous connection to the team. These fans, mostly from Dynamos and CAPS United, allied against Scottland. They cheered loudly when Kudzai Chigwida scored a penalty kick during the second half, deciding the highly contested match.
The victory pleased this fan alliance because it marked the first time anyone broke through Scottland's defense or defeated them. Scottland apparently angered rival PSL club supporters by using money to take their best players after gaining promotion this season. They started strong with wins against Triangle...
