Next month, Japan will host Expo 2025, where countries show off their best stuff. Zimbabwe plans to make a big splash at this famous world fair. The country wants people to see its amazing culture, growing business opportunities, and friendly citizens. Experts think this event will help Zimbabwe make more money through new business deals.
When Zimbabwe participates in the Osaka event, it expects tourist numbers to jump by 15 percent. It also believes trade deals will increase by 10 percent every year after the expo. New investment agreements should also boost tourism by 10 percent. All these benefits come from simply showing up at this massive global gathering.
Commissioner General Allan Majuru leads the Zimbabwe team with help from...
Zimbabwe just put 313 big harvesting machines to work as crops are nearly ready. The government wants to cut losses after harvest time for what looks like an amazing year of farm products. They plan to add 18 more machines very soon under phase 3 of their farm equipment program.
Engineer Harrison Bhasikoro from the Department of Agricultural Engineering said they aim for 400 machines eventually. Each machine can harvest about 10 hectares every day, which means it can handle roughly 4,000 hectares daily across the country. If they work for 150 straight days, these machines could harvest nearly 700,000 hectares of farmland.
Not every farmer needs these big machines - many will pick crops by hand. The government offers help with shelling...
The High Court just stopped working on the bail case for reporter Blessed Mhlanga. Nobody knows when they'll start again. Judge Gibson Mandaza paused everything because the defense team asked for more details about the case. Both sides will hear from the court when the judge decides what happens next.
Chris Mhike leads the defense team's request for extra papers since prosecutors never showed the videos they claim exist. Mhike says these videos matter because they need to check if written claims match what appears on the screen. He believes the court needs this information to make the right call about bail.
Prosecutors fought back, saying Mhike should have asked earlier during the first court visit. Mhike responded that they had...
Police across the country grabbed more than five tons of drugs from dealers. They took marijuana and crystal meth called mutoriro off the streets. Many drug sellers went to jail recently. Some of these criminals helped police learn more, but others faced judges and court cases right away.
Cops set up checkpoints on roads everywhere. They stop cars randomly to search them and raid companies they think sell drugs. Commissioner Paul Nyathi from the police said his officers caught five drug dealers last weekend. Two people in Masvingo had 200 kilograms of marijuana when police found them.
Officers arrested Limbikani Mwanandi, age 36, and Speakmore Mhonda, age 39, as they moved drugs from a broken bus into their Nissan Caravan. In Harare...
A court found Tafadzwa Martin Munyawarara guilty of stealing $48,000 from someone who wanted to buy mobile toilets. The Harare businessman tricked Mandy Mvukwe by claiming he could bring these portable bathrooms from another country. Ms. Munashe Banda, who served as a magistrate, decided prosecutors Tafara Chirambira and Takudzwa Jambawo successfully proved their case against him.
Mvukwe trusted Munyawarara enough to hand over her cash based on what he promised. After taking her money, he never brought any toilets. The court papers show Munyawarara actually admitted he received all those dollars from her but never explained where the money went. This admission helped push the case toward a guilty verdict.
The fraud happened when...
Zimbabwe farmers doubled their sweet potato growing areas from last season. The total space jumped from 10,413 hectares to 20,108 hectares thanks to government programs that boost food security and help rural families earn money. This big increase shows how important this crop has become for many people across the country. The government gives away free sweet potato vines to farmers who need them.
The Presidential Rural Development Programme started in 2021 and continues to help everyday farmers grow more food. Ms. Hilda Manditsvara from Agricultural and Rural Development Advisory Services recently talked about why this matters. She pointed out that sweet potatoes help families eat better, add variety to what farmers can grow, and...
ZRP spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi warns that fake products threaten the existence of local businesses across Zimbabwe. He shared this message at a National Economic Consultative Forum meeting about counterfeits held yesterday in Harare. The event focused on fighting fake goods and helping economic growth through government-wide efforts.
Commissioner Nyathi pointed out that counterfeiting affects every part of the economy. Fake fertilizers, seeds, and farm chemicals flood markets nationwide. People even import ox-drawn plows from other countries despite local companies' ability to make them here. Counterfeit medicines create major health risks for citizens.
Some individuals sell drinks they falsely claim can heal people without...
