PSL takes break for Warriors international games
Zimbabwe soccer fans can mark their calendars—no local league games will happen between March 17 and March 29, 2025. Rodwell Thabe, the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Premier Soccer League, told NewZimbabwe.com about this plan yesterday. He explained how this break matches FIFA's official international game schedule. The Warriors, Zimbabwe's national men's team, need this time for their upcoming matches. Knowledge Musona recently returned as head coach after ending his retirement. He already picked which players will represent the country during these important games. These matches matter because they bring Zimbabwe back to international soccer competition. Local players from Zimbabwean teams can join the national training camp...
Only Banks Set Zimbabwe Exchange Rates
Zimbabwe's central bank just clarified who decides the official exchange rate. The RBZ stepped in because travel industry groups misunderstood what "market-determined" meant in their policy statement. These business groups thought they could create their own rates for currency exchange, which led some sellers to ignore the official rates completely. Dr. John Mushayavanhu from the Reserve Bank explained how things really work. He said Zimbabwe uses a floating system where banks set the rate through actual buying and selling transactions. The official "market-determined rate" comes only from this interbank trading system. This rate should be what businesses use when they price everything they sell. The central bank boss stressed an...
Ex-wife Leaves DJ Fantan's Drama Behind
Gamu Nemukuyu fled to South Africa with her kids last Wednesday after years of mental strain from her former husband, DJ Fantan. He later posted that he was searching for her and their children because they had vanished. She left because she couldn't handle the daily emotional pain he caused her anymore. He kept calling her at weird hours, like 6 AM, claiming he wanted to help with homework for the children. DJ Fantan would appear without warning at her house, pretending to check on the kids but actually starting fights instead. Even though he ended their marriage, and she never bothered him afterward or made social media comments about him, he still controlled parts of her life. He hated that her new boyfriend helped care for the kids...

Pamela mentioned she lives without any calm since he attacks her whenever they meet. When facing the judge, Tawanda admitted what he did but defended himself by pointing out how much cash he...

Judiciary Staff Salary Hike Under Review
Abdou Conteh spoke up Thursday about rumors spreading around the country. As Judiciary Secretary, he addressed talk of staff planning to sit down and strike because their paychecks didn't show the 30% raise that other government workers received. He confirmed the Judiciary Service Commission plans to tackle this salary issue next Monday. The Secretary General's office had sent out a letter telling the personal management office to bump up salaries across the board by 30%. But Conteh explained President Adama Barrow's salary increase announcement excluded independent groups like the Judiciary, Gambia Revenue Authority, National Assembly, National Audit, and Ombudsman. "If that was the case, there is nothing that the judiciary can do,"...
Suspended Ex-Collector Blames Audit Fiasco
Alagie I. Sowe says he did nothing wrong after the Banjul City Council suspended him from his job as a revenue collector in 2018. People claimed he stole money—over 850,000 dalasis—but he denies it completely. His case has started a big argument about how fair the audit process really is and whether the financial problems were handled right. The accusations against Sowe say he failed to put 172,000 dalasis in the bank. National audit reports from 2017 and 2018 also questioned another 678,540 dalasis. Sowe recently spoke to the Local Government Commission of Inquiry and told them these problems came from simple audit questions, not from him stealing any money. Sowe explained that audits happened every six months, and mistakes often...
