King Honors Loyal Women With Song for Womens Day
Julian King just dropped his fresh track, Chinjira Life, which shows love to women who stay loyal through thick and thin. He teamed up with hot rapper Bagga for this release, which was timed perfectly with International Women's Day celebrations. The song sends a clear message about recognizing all the amazing stuff women bring to our lives. King believes people should honor these special contributions every chance they get. The US-based Afro-pop star talked with The Herald Arts about his music. He strongly feels men need to stick by the ladies who supported them during rough patches. King said straight up: appreciate that woman who met you at your lowest point but never walked away. He thinks guys should reward faithful partners by...
Chegutu Pirates Struggle as Municipality Denies Fee Aid
Chegutu Pirates face major problems playing football this season. The team recently lost its spot in the Premier League after struggling against tougher teams. They asked their local government for $6,000 to join the Northern Region Division One League. Unfortunately, the city council refused to pay these fees because it lacked money for sports funding. The council sent a letter on February 28, 2025, explaining they couldn't afford the registration costs at the time. Their message came from Munyaradzi Sanangurai, the Community Service Officer, who acknowledged the team's efforts but delivered bad news. He explained that previous rules state the football club belongs directly to local citizens under their executive committee leadership...
Pereira Praises Munetsi for Spark in Wolves Comeback
Coach Vitor Pereira and player Nelson Semedo shared their thoughts about Zimbabwean midfielder Marshall Munetsi following his first goal for their English Premiership football club against Everton. Saturday saw Wolves earn a 1-1 draw with Everton, pushing them six points clear from the relegation zone at league bottom. The team missed their star attacker, Matheus Cunha, during the match, which limited their attacking options going forward. Despite facing this challenge, Wolves played decent football and showed character coming from behind after Jack Harrison scored first for Everton. Munetsi equalized thanks to an excellent through ball from teammate Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. Many supporters believe Bellegarde might become the...
New ZIFA Board Strikes Fashion Deal for Warriors
ZIFA operates smoother than ever before. The fresh leadership team headed by Nqobile Magwizi started just two months ago yet has already secured several corporate partnerships. Last week, they signed two agreements focused on improving their digital systems and developing technical skills. Yesterday, ZIFA announced another partnership: 4 May International will provide formal clothing for the Warriors during every game over the next three years. This deal starts right away, with the Warriors wearing these fancy outfits for upcoming World Cup qualifying matches against Benin on March 20 in Durban, South Africa, and later against Nigeria in Uyo five days after. 4 May previously supplied similar clothing back in 2018-2019. Their CEO...
Zimbabwe Counters Child Labour Claims in Tobacco Sector
People around the world have recently heard stories claiming Zimbabwe makes kids work on tobacco farms. These stories miss the mark big time. They ignore how Zimbabwe actively protects children, respects family traditions, and enforces tough laws against anyone who tries to exploit kids. The truth looks very different from what these reports suggest. Zimbabwe families teach their children important skills through household tasks and farm activities. This practice passes knowledge between generations and builds strong family bonds. Many outside observers mistake these valuable learning experiences for something harmful. They fail to see the difference between exploitation and cultural traditions that help kids develop responsibility and...
Harare Gardens Falls Into Crime and Neglect
A beautiful piece of history disappears little by little every day. Over the past century, families used to enjoy picnics, kids played happily, and couples walked hand-in-hand through Harare Gardens. The park has become a deadly trap where one misstep might cost your life. Fear and danger hide the natural beauty that once made this place special. Fear, crime, and shame have replaced the old face of this iconic landmark. Bad guys, thieves, drug users, and prostitutes hang around this small yet packed park. Going there puts you at risk, especially after sunset when darkness brings a creepy feeling across the grounds. Evening transforms everything about the gardens. Kids laughing has changed to thieves talking quietly. Leaves rustling...
Women Lead Fight to End Child Marriage This Month
March celebrates women everywhere but hides a terrible problem. Many young girls across the world marry before turning 18. These child brides lose their childhood, education, and future chances. The practice happens most often because families need money or follow old traditions. We must stop child marriages to help girls reach their dreams. The problem affects communities everywhere, not just the girls themselves. When we fight for women this month, we need to remember these young victims who never had a chance to grow up before becoming wives. UNICEF tells us more than 12 million girls marry as children every year around the world. That equals one out of every five girls globally. Some places see much higher numbers. West Africa...
SADC, EAC Act to End Conflict and Heal DRC Wounds
SADC and the East African Commission want to end the fighting in Congo for more than just peace. They aim to fix the problems caused by old colonial borders that split African people into groups fighting each other. These borders led to ethnic wars like the one happening right across the resource-rich DRC today. The M23 rebel group started on March 23, 2009, when an agreement was signed between Congo and certain Tutsi fighters. M23 fought against the Congo government in 2012, claiming broken promises about putting Tutsi members in the army and sharing resources fairly. Last January, this group took over the mineral-rich Goma area after starting new fights in 2022. They first grabbed North Kivu, where valuable coltan mines exist. The UN...
Government and Industry Tackle Counterfeit Trade in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe officials, business leaders, and key partners plan to meet tomorrow to tackle problems caused by fake and smuggled goods. They hope to find lasting answers that will protect the economy and help it grow. The meeting comes after a nationwide sweep that grabbed over $2.4 million worth of illegal imports and fake products. These items hurt not just money matters but also public health across the country. The meeting focuses on fighting counterfeit items and helping economic growth in Zimbabwe. The government has made it clear it wants to defend local makers from unfair competition and keep consumers safe. Minister of Industry and Commerce Mangaliso Ndlovu will deliver the keynote speech. The National Economic Consultative Forum...
