ZANU-PF big boss Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri told party people to stop using Conference Resolution Number 1 as a weapon against their friends. At a special party meeting yesterday in Harare, she worried about how members misuse this rule. The group voted for this rule to keep President Mnangagwa working until 2030. She said everyone agreed on this together, and nobody should use it to cause fights or make up fake reasons to punish others.
"Any leader who starts silly fights that split our party should feel ashamed. This kind of behavior helps our enemies," Muchinguri-Kashiri told the crowd. She liked what the Information team did with new rules about social media because many members post bad things online. She pushed leaders to talk more...
Gweru city leaders are unhappy with the Zimbabwe National Road Administration regarding money and fuel. They say Zinara gives them much less than promised, which prevents them from fixing roads full of holes. The city can't start needed repair projects because of this shortage, and road conditions keep getting worse across Gweru as a result.
Mayor Martin Chivhoko spoke at a council meeting Tuesday. He said their roads look terrible because Zinara doesn't provide enough support. The mayor wants answers about fuel for 2024. They promised 30,329 liters but delivered only 4,000 - just 13 percent. Other cities received their complete fuel amounts.
The city had planned for more than ZiG10.7 million but received just ZiG5.6 million - about...
Richard Moyo from Matabeleland North has put local authorities on notice. He says they block investors despite all the hard work done by the government to bring money into Zimbabwe. Moyo talked straight with local leaders yesterday in Bulawayo. He made it clear he feels disappointed about the roadblocks investors face when they deal with certain councils.
These local groups need to help reach Vision 2030, which aims to make Zimbabwe richer as a nation. But Moyo pointed out some councils actually work against this goal. They create paper jams and red tape that scare away people ready to invest their cash. He told them directly, "We hear endless complaints from investors we send your way. Many of you travel with us abroad looking for...
The Zimbabwe government just handed over 50 motorbikes to Mberengwa Rural District Council councilors. These bikes came from both devolution funds and money the council earned itself. Because of these new motorbikes, councilors will travel more easily to meet the people they serve. They can deliver better services and speed up growth projects across all 35 areas they manage.
Rural communities face major travel problems that make running things difficult. The motorbikes solve this major headache for local leaders. Chirumanzu Rural District Council members also recently received similar bikes. This shows how much the national government wants to make things work better at the local level throughout the country.

Travelers from abroad increased from 592,567 in 2023 to 751,483 during the first six months of 2024.

Vendors want to talk with officials about the recent 48-hour order to leave illegal selling spots. The government started this nationwide effort to stop unregulated trading because of health, safety, and money concerns.

Zvishavane Town will soon see big changes as the $29 million Midlands Park Housing Project nears completion.

Team Europe promised $280 million to help women in Zimbabwe between 2021 and 2027. Swedish Ambassador Per Lindgärde shared this news at International Women's Day events in Mutare. The group recently added another $7 million to strengthen its support. Their work matches Zimbabwe's laws about treating men and women equally, including better education rules and marriage laws that protect women's rights.
Young women aged 15 to 24 can read at a rate of 92.7 percent, which shows real progress. The country lets pregnant girls keep going to school instead of forcing them to leave. Last week, the European Investment Bank teamed up with Stanbic Bank to create a $20 million fund for women business owners. This money helps female entrepreneurs get...
