Knowledge Musona makes an exciting comeback to Zimbabwe soccer at age 35. Coach Michael Nees finally fulfilled his wish by bringing the retired striker back into the Warriors lineup. Musona stepped away from international play in 2022 but returns with an impressive record of 24 goals across 49 national team appearances. The team must face upcoming World Cup qualifying matches without their regular captain, Marvelous Nakamba because he suffered an injury.
Zimbabwe plays against Benin first on March 20 at a stadium in Durban. Fans wanting to attend that match need to pay R50 for tickets, with kickoff scheduled for 6 p.m. Just four days later, the Warriors travel to Uyo for their second match against Nigeria on March 24. These games...
Many farmers might want to forget the tough, dry spell at the start of the farming season. Smart farmers should instead learn from these challenges to prepare for future problems. Those who planted early crops with October and November rains hoped to beat the predicted below-normal rainfall caused by La Nina weather patterns. Most farmers these days try to plant crops at different times to save something when the weather turns bad.
Early planting helps test what kind of season lies ahead. Sometimes, these test crops become the main food source for families when rain only falls at the beginning before stopping completely. No smart person stands still when danger comes their way. Farmers must act to protect their work and investments...

Officials have also set up 214 traps for the African armyworm, which has caused the worst outbreak in twenty years across Zimbabwe.
The Agriculture Ministry bought sixty trucks, one for each district, to help combat these pests quicker. They also gave out 639,809 backpack sprayers to farmers who received seeds through the Presidential Input Scheme. These measures aim to protect crops from damage during the growing season...

Themes at national events shape how people identify with their country. They bring citizens together regardless of background, helping everyone feel connected to the same goals. The government picks these themes to match its plans for the nation.
For many years, Zimbabwe's leaders have chosen themes that match their goals. They connect these ideas to celebrations like Independence Day, supporting plans in the National Development Strategy 1. This approach turns celebrations into chances to promote growth and unity.
This year's Independence theme focuses on sharing power with local areas. It shows how the Second Republic wants to spread decision-making across regions. Local communities gain more control over their development needs...

Both Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently made statements suggesting...
JP Morgan dropped South African stocks from a positive to a neutral rating yesterday. They worried about slow economic growth and questioned if government changes would work. The bank said South Africa seems attractive to investors because of planned reforms. Yet they believe these changes will not push growth above 2 percent in the next two years.
South Africa has struggled to create strong economic growth since the 2008-09 financial crisis. The country needs faster expansion to help reduce massive unemployment and the gap between rich and poor. South African Reserve Bank leader Lesetja Kganyago spoke to Reuters in January about future expectations. He suggested the nation might see growth near 2 percent when 2025 arrives.

Donald Trump plans to buy a brand new Tesla to support Elon Musk. He made this announcement right after Tesla stock dropped badly. The former president posted his message just past midnight from Washington. He called Musk a truly great American and questioned why anyone should face punishment for helping make America great again. Trump never mentioned which Tesla model he wanted.
Musk spent millions to help Trump win the election and currently leads efforts to shrink the federal government. His simple response to Trump was thank you. Tesla shares fell 15 percent on Monday because analysts lowered their delivery expectations. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk has lost more than $130 billion of his wealth since January...
