People feel strongly about Scottland either way, but nobody can deny they mean business. These newcomers to the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League have already made waves just two games into the 2025 season. Though early predictions might seem premature, this star-packed team from Mabvuku brings exactly what Zimbabwean soccer needs—genuine excitement. Fans have flocked to their matches in impressive numbers.
CAPS United confirmed that 11,000 paying customers showed up Sunday despite ticket prices jumping to $5 for regular seats and $20 for premium spots. With talented players like Khama Billiat, Walter Musona, Peter Muduhwa, Tymon Machope, and Lynoth Chikuhwa on their roster, Scottland creates fresh rivalries every week. Their matchups...
Detective Cassandra Hove went home to rest yesterday at Mataruse Village in Mberengwa District. Her family buried her after she died last Thursday during what police call a shootout with robbers in Bulawayo. But serious questions hang over exactly how she died, casting a shadow across her funeral services.
Family members believe something fishy happened that night. They directly challenged police officers during Sunday services at Nyaradzo Funeral Parlour. Instead of blaming robbers, they pointed fingers at fellow officers. They asked police straight up whether a colleague shot her by accident or on purpose.
Police reports tell a different story. They claim Howe took bullets to her upper body around 8:40 pm when gunfire broke out with...
According to a cabinet minister, Zimbabwe plans to take over mining areas where prospecting efforts failed. The government checked these areas last year when it stopped handing out new prospecting permits. The government aimed to prevent people from holding land without mining it and make the mining business more transparent. By 2023, Zimbabwe had given out 38 active prospecting permits across the country.
Mining matters a lot to Zimbabwe since it employs thousands of people and makes up about 12 percent of all the money the country produces. The nation has over 60 different minerals, though companies only mine about 10 for profit. Mining Minister Winston Chitando told Parliament that the government-run Mining Promotion Company will...
Musicians across the country will remember Samson Mtukudzi on March 15, 2025, marking 15 years since his tragic passing. Both Sam and his friend Owen Chimhare, who worked as his sound engineer, died together in that terrible car crash. Fellow musicians from his time still carry vivid memories of him today. His life ended suddenly, like when someone blew out a candle before its time.
His family still struggles with the heartbreak of losing him early. His famous father, Oliver Tuku Mtukudzi, carried that pain for years after Sam died at just 21 years old as he made his way through the music scene. Even though Sam has gone, his music continues to touch listeners, with certain songs seeming almost like they predicted his fate. People will...
The World Bank usually looks at economies through dark glasses, always talking about problems. Last week, however, it was a surprise when Victor Steenbergen, their senior Zimbabwe economist, gave Zimbabwe business leaders an upbeat talk. He almost sounded like he was selling the country, but with the usual banker cautions mixed in. His key point? Zimbabwe has loads of untapped potential, especially when businesses organize and invest alongside what's already happening.
Lots of Zimbabweans like to complain or think they deserve rewards for making bad business choices rather than working hard. It's refreshing when someone from outside who knows their stuff can look at our country fairly and see all the possibilities. He focused on three...

A farm security guard has described what happened when the Bandama Farm dam broke in Chipinge on Sunday. Officials have confirmed five people died, and teams are still looking for two missing persons.
Mr. Samson Masirande, age 70, first saw dirty water flowing in the Dandoni River around 8 a.m. Sunday morning. He didn't worry much about it at first, thinking perhaps children were playing upstream. He walked up the river to check but found nothing unusual.
By noon, the water had risen to knee height, then later reached his waist. Masirande went upstream again to investigate. That's when he heard a loud noise similar to a helicopter. He tried warning some children who were playing near the stream, but they ignored his cautions.
The...
Transport watchdog group PAZ has spoken up about foreign buses breaking the law by running on local routes. They want stricter rules to shield Zimbabwe's bus companies.
PAZ leader Tafadzwa Goliati claims these outside buses create unfair competition and might put passengers at risk. He made it clear they support regional transport connections but insists foreign buses should only travel on their approved paths.
Local bus businesses face tough times because foreign operators might not pay the same taxes or follow the same safety checks as Zimbabwean companies. Goliati warns that letting foreign buses take over local routes threatens both jobs and road safety.
He asked police and other officials to work harder to ensure that foreign...
Builders have started work on the Munhumutapa National Housing Scheme areas across four districts in Mashonaland West. The provincial Zanu PF chairman, Tapiwa Masenda, shared this update with Youth Minister Tino Machakaire during his visit to Chinhoyi last Saturday. Machakaire came to launch the Munhumutapa 10-hectare plots program, which gave land to 870 young people from Mashonaland West and Harare Provinces.
Young citizens will receive free residential stands in Makonde, Hurungwe, Chegutu, and Sanyati districts. Masenda expressed gratitude to President Mnangagwa for creating policies that help empower the country's youth.
