dfcu Bank Feeds 200 Families in Epic Ramadan Food Drive
dfcu Bank recently gave food to more than 200 poor families living in Kasokoso and Katanga Slums during Ramadan. The bank teamed up with Ayitah Charity Foundation and spent 30 million Ugandan shillings on this kind of act. Families received basic needs like sugar, rice, posho, beans, cooking oil and soap. Many more households across Uganda will soon benefit from similar food packages. Workers from dfcu Bank handed out these supplies themselves, talking directly with the people they helped. This matches perfectly with what the bank wants to do—make life better for regular folks and local businesses. The bank believes strongly in helping everyone around it, not just its customers who need money help. Maureen Nagasha from dfcu Bank...

Muturi defends government stay, calls out abduction crimes
Justin Muturi plans to stay in his government job despite speaking out against kidnappings and killings. The Public Service Cabinet Secretary shocked many people when he publicly blamed the Kenya Kwanza leaders for these problems on January 12. His comments started rumors he might quit soon. Back then, reporters asked if he would resign, and he answered they'd address that issue when necessary. During a Citizen TV interview Wednesday night, Ayub Abdikadir asked Muturi the same question again. Muturi explained that he belongs in government because he actively helped campaign for Kenya Kwanza during the 2022 elections. He feels completely entitled to his position. His Democratic Party just told Registrar Anne Nderitu they want to leave...

Harare cracks down on vendors as street showdown looms
Harare City Council plans to clear street sellers from downtown yet again tonight. The council asked the Zimbabwe Republic Police to help remove these sellers from city streets. Housing director Addmore Nhekairo mentioned they discussed zero selling downtown with the local government ministry. He stressed they needed proper resources for success and called it a serious plan backed by police support. Zimbabwe faces huge job shortages that force many educated people to sell things on the streets just to survive. Previous cleanup attempts like Operation Chenesa Harare never fixed the problem. Sellers keep running from city trucks that take their stuff and arrest them. Last year, health services director Prosper Chonzi admitted they failed...

Zimbabweans blast fee as Marondera clamps down on cyclists
Folks in Marondera are mad about paying five bucks every year just to ride bikes. The local government announced on March 11, 2025, that anyone cycling without this new license will face fines.

People want to know exactly where their cash will go before they hand it over. They wonder if any of it will actually help make biking better or safer around town. The anger has spread across social media platforms, with Zimbabweans comparing these rules to old colonial laws. Tatenda Moyo joked they might tax wheelbarrows next. Rufaro Dube complained about taxing poor people...
