ZIFA and the Moroccan FA just teamed up for the next two years. ZIFA head Nqobile Magwizi signed the papers on Saturday with his Moroccan friends. Both soccer groups aim to help each other succeed and strengthen football in Zimbabwe and Morocco.
The deal packs plenty of benefits for everyone involved. Coaches will learn new tricks through special training sessions. Kids and women who play soccer can look forward to more help. The national squads will play practice games against each other.
Staff members from both countries will swap visits and put on events together. Morocco agreed to welcome any ZIFA people who travel there. Zimbabwe made the same promise about hosting Moroccan visitors. ZIFA believes this partnership changes the...
Media organizations have grown from simple information outlets into powerful opinion shapers across society. Their influence extends from business advertising to political campaigns, where they now play a critical role in directing public attention and determining which politicians gain prominence.
Politics changed dramatically with media evolution. In the early 1900s, only newspapers could influence elections. By mid-century, radio transformed campaigns. Television later revolutionized political communication - as seen during the famous 1960 Kennedy-Nixon debates, where Kennedy's better television appearance gave him an advantage over Nixon among TV viewers, while radio listeners thought Nixon performed better.

Kenya has taken strong steps to include minority and marginalized groups in national life. The government wants to meet international standards from the United Nations that protect minorities' rights to practice their religion, enjoy their culture, and speak their language without discrimination.
The roots of marginalization in Kenya go back to colonial times when certain areas received investment while others were ignored. After independence, problems continued through centralized government control that favored larger ethnic groups and never properly fixed land ownership issues. These patterns left many communities excluded from economic opportunities and decision-making roles for decades.
President Ruto created the Minorities and...
Kenya Power plans to turn off electricity this Sunday around the country. They need time to fix some stuff on their system. Four counties face outages from morning until evening. Folks in Nairobi, Machakos, Kisumu, and Tana River can expect darkness between 9 AM and 5 PM.
People who live near Babadogo Road or run businesses at Impala might need flashlights. Several companies, such as Kiwi Brand, Regal Pharmaceutical, Dawanol, and Dogra, will have no electricity all day. Premier Industries, Premier Food, Chandaria, Jubilee Tissue, and Police Logistics must prepare for darkness. The same goes for Aztec, Razco, Pepsi, and Lysons Maid, plus everybody who lives close by.
If Machakos people live around Apex or Athi River Makadara, they...
Russian attacks killed at least 25 people across Ukraine recently. Officials reported 11 deaths plus 40 injuries from missiles hitting Dobropillya town in Donetsk Region. The strikes damaged homes, shops, and key buildings throughout multiple areas, including Kharkiv and Odesa. These attacks happened right after America stopped sharing military help and intelligence with Ukraine following a heated meeting between President Trump and Zelensky last week.
Polish leader Donald Tusk responded by saying, "This happens when someone appeases barbarians. More bombs, more aggression, more victims." President Zelensky claimed Russia deliberately targeted rescue workers who arrived after the initial blasts at Dobropillya. Nine additional people...
Musalia Mudavadi asked lawmakers to hurry up and pass a new bill on presidential transitions. He wants formal rules for changing power after elections. This proposed law includes safeguards against problems during leadership changes that might harm Kenya's economy and security. The Prime Cabinet Secretary believes these measures would protect citizens during uncertain times between administrations.
Parliament should learn from what happened during the heated 2022 elections, according to Mudavadi. He specifically mentioned how former election chairman Wafula Chebukati faced challenges running that vote. The bill would make sure future election officials have protected space to do their constitutional duties without interference...
Three Cabinet bosses told a Senate group that budget cuts would hurt important government programs. Alfred Mutua warned that older folks might see their monthly cash drop from Sh2,000 to Sh1,000 because of money problems. The government set aside Sh24.48 billion but needs Sh44.33 billion - leaving a huge gap. One Senator argued seniors should actually get Sh4,000 each month instead.
Salim Mvurya explained that less money over the past three years has made it harder to create jobs for young people. His department needs another Sh4.146 billion to run key programs properly. Justin Muturi shared similar concerns since his ministry only got Sh9.896 billion when they needed Sh24.17 billion. This shortage might block plans to grow the...
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki flew to Namibia last week on behalf of President William Ruto to attend former President Sam Nujoma's funeral. During his three-day visit to Windhoek, he talked with Namibian officials led by Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah about ways both countries could trade more goods and bring their people closer together. Kenya hopes to sell Namibia its tea, coffee, farm products, and worker skills. Namibia plans to send Kenya its minerals, wines, and other drinks in return.
Kindiki later met with 78 lawmakers from regions that grow coffee across Kenya, including areas in Rift Valley, Central, Eastern, Western, and Nyanza. They talked about how to improve the coffee business to help farmers earn more money...
Khama Billiat plays forward for Scottland FC and makes more money than any other player in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League this year. Before coming back home, he played for big South African teams like Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns. Nobody knew exactly how much he earned at Chiefs after moving there from Sundowns back in 2018. He started earning big paychecks when he joined Yadah FC, taking home about $5,000 each month during last season.
His Yadah contract ended last December, but moving to Scottland FC only made him richer. Reports say he earns around $6,000 monthly these days, keeping his top-earner status. The second highest-paid player happens to be his teammate Walter Musona, who makes $3,500 per month. Walter comes from...
