Mutare City Council plans to remove all street vendors from unofficial spots starting tonight. The cleanup targets sellers around downtown areas who lack permits. Street vendor groups actually support this city action because these unofficial sellers avoid paying fees to the local government.
Mr. Blessing Chafesuka, the Mutare City Council Town Clerk, explained that they want cleaner streets and need to prevent health risks like cholera outbreaks. The head of the Mutare Informal Traders Association, Mr. Itai Kaparirr, praised the decision as something they had hoped would happen for years. He mentioned that people cannot expect good city services when they sell from random spots without contributing anything back to the city.

The Southern African Development Community plans to make life better for everyone in the region.

Zimbabwe officials added another month of food help because many people planted late due to rain delays. The government usually hands out food from January through March, but will keep going until April this year. Officials want nobody to starve before farmers harvest their crops. Even after April ends, hungry communities can visit local welfare offices for emergency supplies.
UN teams plan to work better together and bring businesses aboard for hunger relief projects. Good rainfall this season means fewer Zimbabweans will need assistance next year compared to recent times. The UN food program works closely with Zimbabwe's Food and Nutrition Council to figure out exactly how much aid different areas need. They focus both on immediate...
Sengezo Tshabangu pulled back his urgent request from the High Court. He had asked the judge to stop CCC party president Welshman Ncube from kicking him out of Parliament. Attorney Lewis Uriri told Judge Mary Zimba-Dube they wanted to cancel the case. Ncube later said Tshabangu made a mistake by filing two urgent court papers at once.
Ncube believed Tshabangu should have first challenged his dismissal from the party. The other legal matter could then move forward at normal speed. A related case, numbered HCH875/25, was pushed back until March 21. The court papers came late from the clerk, making it hard for everyone to follow along.
CCC spokesperson Willias Madzimure explained the situation in a statement afterward. He said Tshabangu...

Senegal keeps falling into the same bad habit. Political leaders take revenge on each other instead of running the country well. This back-and-forth hurts everyone as rivals attack each other through courts and accusations. The nation struggles because officials focus more on fighting enemies than solving real problems.
Senegal once stood out as a shining example of African democracy. The country enjoyed peaceful power changes and steady politics for many years. But personal grudges between powerful people have taken over public life. These fights come from old rivalries, different beliefs, and battles to control the government.
President Abdoulaye Wade ruled from 2000 to 2012. During his time, his son Karim became very powerful. Many...
A Banjul judge approved an arrest warrant for Abdul Kamara yesterday. Principal Magistrate Muhammed Krubally signed the order after police said Kamara fled back home to Sierra Leone. The Sierra Leonean man faces charges for killing retired banker Reuben Andrews. This murder happened at Brufut Heights last Monday.
Police Prosecutor ASP E Sarr told the court that Interpol already knows about Kamara's escape. Sierra Leone police asked for official paperwork before they could grab him. They need this warrant to arrest Kamara and send him back to The Gambia. The accused goes by the nickname Rahmadan.
Magistrate Krubally completely agreed with the police request. He ordered Interpol agents from both countries to find and arrest Kamara as...
