The Zanu PF Politburo kicked out one lawmaker from Parliament and cleared another guy of all blame. Patrick Chinamasa, who handles legal stuff for the party, announced that Benjamin Ganyiwa lost his job as Gutu East representative. Ganyiwa broke party rules by trying to remove six district leaders, starting fights between groups, and holding meetings where folks criticized the President.
The party plans to boot him from Parliament completely, which means people must vote for someone new. Roy Bila, who represents Chiredzi North, walked away free from all charges against him. Calisto Bangu faces more problems, though—the National Disciplinary Committee will deal with claims he damaged the party's reputation. Leaders also approved...

The farming world keeps growing across Zimbabwe thanks to land teamwork deals. Officials gave thumbs-up to 2,701 farm partnerships covering 234,432 hectares. These agreements boost farm output and help build rural businesses. People who want farm space can team up with others who have extra land sitting empty.
No extra land exists for new farmers at present. The government hands out only abandoned plots that nobody uses. Officials must check every partnership deal first to prevent fighting later. Around 10,000 Zimbabweans living abroad and 270,000 local citizens hope for farm spaces.
Professor Obert Jiri from the Agriculture Department believes these partnerships matter greatly. They let people share farming skills and help country...

Zimbabwe coach Michael Nees likes seeing Marshal Munetsi play forward positions with his English Premier League team, Wolves. Munetsi joined the Wanderers last month on transfer deadline day. Coach Vitor Pereira puts the energetic Zimbabwean mostly in central attack roles. Nees believes this helps sharpen Munetsi's skills for national team games.
"I am not surprised to see Munetsi playing those advanced roles. He can thrive anywhere along the central axis," Nees explained. "We played him there before, and he almost scored multiple times for the Warriors. He works as a typical box-to-box player who handles positions 10, 8, or central striker - maybe except the wings. He brings flexibility and effectiveness everywhere, including as...

These national heroes last played in November when they earned a spot at the Africa Cup of Nations, which will be held in Morocco later.

The clean-up program started by President Mnangagwa continues seven years later. Yesterday, four independent groups worked together to pick up trash around town. The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission teamed up with the Media Commission, Gender Commission, and Human Rights Commission for this monthly activity.
