Sonja Madzikanda recently spoke about her ex-husband, Wicknell Chivayo, and his new girlfriend, Lulu Muteke. After Chivayo posted photos from their Victoria Falls vacation together on social media, Sonja talked to her Instagram followers. She mentioned she once knew Lulu well and even baked scones for her. Sonja described Lulu as stunning and said they might make a lovely couple.
Chivayo has said he plans to pay $100,000 as a bride price for Lulu. This amount doubles the $50,000 he reportedly paid when he married Sonja.

Zimbabwe workers' union ZCTU wants the government to stop going after street sellers. They think officials need to fix the broken economy instead. The labor group spoke up after Local Government Minister Daniel Garwe ordered all selling on streets to stop across the country. Garwe claimed this would help manage trash problems and stop drug dealing.
ZCTU Acting Secretary General Runesu Dzimiri called the minister's two-day deadline harsh and heartless. He pointed out that regular people sell things on the streets because they have no jobs or other ways to earn money. Dzimiri stated that failed government policies caused high unemployment rates, forcing citizens onto sidewalks. He added that creating real jobs, as promised, would make...
Zimbabwe says it planned to run the health system before Trump cut money. The government wants everyone to know it made this choice ahead of time. On January 20, Trump stopped all cash to USAID for three months. He ordered a complete review of every program the agency pays for worldwide.
USAID plays a huge role in helping public hospitals work in Zimbabwe and other African nations. Many worry this could hurt progress against HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria. Health minister Douglas Mombeshora claimed they already wanted all health staff under ministry control. He said they faced problems knowing who reported to whom when NGOs hired medical workers.
The funding block for health programs later ended, but medicines still haven't arrived...
Police started a big crackdown against unlawful transport vans after learning less than 20 percent follow the rules. Zimbabwe Republic Police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said they want these illegal van operators to follow the law instead of making dirty money. The operation targets commuter vans known locally as kombis that run without proper papers across the country.
The numbers show just how bad things have become—Harare alone has around 16,000 kombis, but only about 3,000 have proper registration. The rest keep dodging the law despite clear government rules that help people start legal businesses. These drivers pocket cash directly without caring about safety or paying proper taxes. They skip the systems that help...
South Africa faces rough times. Their mixed government cannot agree on money plans. The budget finally showed up after waiting a month.
Experts say Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana shared ideas many groups hated. Even key partners said no twice.
The African National Congress teamed up with nine parties after big losses in elections last year.
Their main partner, the Democratic Alliance, refuses to help pass money plans. They demand changes, or the ANC needs other friends.
Godongwana delayed his money talk last month. People hated his plan to raise taxes on everyday items, which would have jumped prices when South Africans already paid a lot for basics.
Everyone felt shocked. This never happened since freedom arrived in 1994...
Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League games stop after March 17 because of the FIFA international break. Rodwell Thabe, the acting Chief Executive Officer for PSL, told New Zimbabwe.com that the games would pick up again on March 29.

Tatenda Banga said he broke the law on Thursday when he admitted guilt for sneaking into America with guns and drugs. This 30-year-old man from Zimbabwe crossed through wild forest land between Canada and Washington state. Cameras caught him twice in 2024 near Hozomeen in the North Cascades area. Acting U.S. Attorney Teal Luthy Miller announced that Banga confessed to having firearms as an illegal alien and planning to sell illegal substances.
Judge Jamal N. Whitehead will decide Banga's punishment on June 12. Border cameras first spotted Banga on January 3, 2024, walking into America with a shotgun near Ross Lake. The same day, he damaged another camera near the border. Officers searched, but Banga ran into the woods. They found a...
Obert Gutu from the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission asked officials to be gentle with street sellers. The government wants them out of Zimbabwe's cities fast. These vendors make downtown areas look messy, but Gutu points out that these people lack better choices. He posted online that nobody sells stuff late at night downtown unless they need money badly.
Gutu asked the people in charge to skip harsh methods when clearing the streets. He compared using tough tactics to smashing a fly with a hammer - it's just way overboard. He believes officials should show some heart because these street sellers face real hardships. The government minister, Daniel Garwe, sees things differently, blaming vendors for making cities dirty and...
