TV actor and comedian Ebenhaezer Dibakwane has died at 31 years old. His agency, Pickedginger, shared the sad news in a statement. They mentioned how many people considered him a friend who brought joy across South Africa with his unique humor.

His career took off big time after he won the important Newcomer's Award at the...
Maize means everything to Ranganai Shonhiwa from the Murehwa district in Zimbabwe. At 56 years old, she depends on this crop to feed her family and pay for school and medical care. But growing weather problems have made farming harder than ever before. The rain comes at the wrong times or not at all, which hurts her crops badly.
Scientists worked for many years to create better corn seeds that can survive dry weather. These special types of maize stand up against the harsh heat caused by our warming planet. Ranganai knows firsthand how tough farming has become, with bad weather patterns making each season a gamble for her livelihood.
Thousands of acres of corn across Zimbabwe have died during recent dry spells. Many farm families fell...
Tourism plays a huge role in Zimbabwe's money matters these days. This business beats farming and mining as an earner, making up 12 percent of the country's total money pile in 2024. Leaders hope tourism will bring $5 billion each year through their National Tourism Recovery and Growth Strategy.
People recognize how tourism creates jobs, attracts foreign cash, brings in outside investments, and helps places grow. The World Tourism Organisation agrees that this field spreads money around better than most, giving folks different ways to earn their living. Benefits include more investments, tax money for the government, new jobs, foreign money coming in, and lasting growth.
You can see why tourism matters more to Zimbabwe's financial...
About two dozen crypto-industry bosses will visit the White House Friday for a big meeting. President Donald Trump already prepared something special for them. He signed an order Thursday night to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and another pile of digital money. Trump's helpers, David Sacks and Margo Martin shared this news on X.
The order allows money departments to find ways to buy more Bitcoin without spending extra tax dollars. The government won't purchase additional crypto beyond what they grab through legal cases for the other digital money pile. This shows a complete switch from what President Biden did before. Biden's team went hard against crypto after the FTX company crashed.
Big names like Coinbase boss Brian...
A court recently cleared ZANU PF's Cde Knowledge Kaitano of all charges against him. The MUDZI West MP faced two counts of indecent assault but walked free after his full trial ended. His lawyer proved the accusations lacked solid proof. The case started when an 18-year-old student claimed he touched her inappropriately.
This young woman, who receives school money from Kaitano, told officials he caressed her thigh, touched her shoulder, and kissed her without her permission. These claims led to his arrest and the court case that followed. Mr. Kudakwashe Masiyenyama fought for Kaitano during the legal battle. He argued that enemies made up these stories to hurt the MP's image.
Several people spoke at the Marondera Magistrates Court...
A Harare man asked the courts for protection against his wife because she took control of their houses and important papers. His request failed completely when the judge told him he had come to the wrong place. Magistrate Meenal Narotam explained that fighting about who can use which house belongs in different courts entirely. The husband needed totally different legal steps for his property fight.
Hillary Madzvimbo claimed Caroline Madzvimbo grabbed their two properties by force and blocked him from entering them. Caroline fired back with her side of the story. She said these houses existed before he quit working at Econet. She rented them to tenants because she needed money to raise their kids after he stopped bringing home...
The World Bank group called Climate Investment Funds planned to decide last Friday about giving South Africa $500 million. This money would help the country move away from using coal for power. The payment could start a much bigger deal worth $2.6 billion total for green energy projects. The extra $2.1 billion would come from development banks and other groups that want to support cleaner energy.
Officials delayed this decision earlier because South Africa changed its mind about closing some coal plants. The country wanted to keep three dirty power stations running longer than they first promised. American officials asked for extra time to think about the deal, and Friday became their final day to decide. Every country involved must...
