Robbers broke into the home of Robert Edwin and Lyn Coventry, taking items worth about $90,000. The criminals tied up the couple using shoelaces before searching through every room of their house. The parents of famous swimmer Kirsty Coventry lost three hunting guns plus jewelry estimated at $60,000 during the attack.
The thieves also grabbed an expensive hair dryer valued at $5,000 and $15,000 in cash from somewhere inside the residence. They didn't stop there - they even stole clothing that Kirsty had worn during Olympic competitions. The entire family feels violated after this terrible crime happened on their property.

Shadaya Tawona has spoken out against people who trust religious leaders way more than they should. He made these comments right after Bushiri landed in jail. Shadaya mocked the whole situation and claimed these preachers or prophets didn't break any rules - they just took advantage of how gullible some believers can be.
He went further by saying anyone who follows faith blindly deserves whatever bad stuff happens to them because they depend on these leaders excessively. Many people agreed with what Shadaya said about this issue. They backed him up by pointing out that being stupid isn't against the law - when someone decides to give all their cash to a smooth-talking faker wearing expensive clothes, that mistake falls on their...
Someone criticized Wicknell Chivayo's sisters' dress, and he quickly fired back. The critic wrote online that his sisters made their fancy lifestyle appear cheap and tacky. Chivayo defended his family by explaining how their background shaped their style choices. He stated they came from humble roots rather than wealthy upbringings.
Chivayo pointed to his childhood in Chitungwiza as the reason behind their fashion sense. He reminded the critic that he did not grow up in affluent neighborhoods with privileges many others enjoyed. This defense came after the woman complained she found it hard to watch how his sisters presented their luxury lifestyle.
Zimbabwe teams up with nearby countries to fight fake products better. Industry and Commerce Minister Mangaliso Ndlovu believes sharing information works best. His deputy, Raj Modi, spoke for him at a recent event.
The minister said fighting fake goods requires everyone's cooperation through groups like SADC and COMESA. Without teamwork, fake stuff continues to cross borders easily. Yesterday, the government met with business leaders to discuss problems caused by fake products.
The Ministry and National Economic Consultative Forum organized this meeting about stopping counterfeits to help grow the economy. Minister Ndlovu pointed out that smugglers bring fake products across borders, making this a problem for the whole area...
The Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund has started its second phase, helping about 450,000 families across the country. This team effort links Zimbabwe's government with the United Nations Development Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization. They want to strengthen rural areas against changing weather, create lasting ways to earn money, and better handle disasters when they hit.
Seven rural areas will see improvements from this work: Binga, Kariba, Mbire, Hurungwe, Mwenezi, Chiredzi, and Beitbridge. The plan runs until 2028 and is funded with $17.24 million from European Union funds and other partners. The first phase has already helped more than a million people face climate problems, with most being women and a quarter...
Warriors coach Michael Nees has an amazing way with former players. He drives everywhere to check on athletes, even at night. For safety reasons, he earned a Zimbabwe Defensive Driving certificate. He puts serious effort into finding the right talent for his team.
Six months ago, he talked Khama Billiat into coming out of international retirement. This move paid off big time when Billiat helped Zimbabwe qualify early for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Nees also brought back goalkeeper Washington Arubi when the team needed reliable hands between the posts. That choice worked perfectly, as the Marumo Gallants veteran made key plays during qualification.
His latest win happened when former captain Knowledge Musona agreed to rejoin the...

This case grabbed public attention when news came out that Hove might have been shot by another officer during police action against criminals in Pumula South, Bulawayo, last Thursday. The first reports claimed robbers shot her during a secret operation. Questions only surfaced after her family started asking exactly how she...

Starting tonight, Mutare City Council plans to remove all vendors from unofficial selling locations, especially near downtown areas. The city acts on instructions from the national government to address this issue. Local vendor groups actually support the clearance efforts. They believe merchants at unofficial spots gain unfair edges by avoiding city fees.
Blessing Chafesuka, the Mutare City Council Town Clerk, explained that the cleanup helps restore order to city streets. He added that this measure might prevent health problems like cholera outbreaks. The president of Mutare Informal Traders Association, Itai Kaparirr, expressed approval for the government's decision. He mentioned that they had long hoped for such action from...
