Trinidad claims its gas deals remain safe despite Maduro's being snatched. Roodal Moonilal slapped down rumors that regional chaos wrecked energy arrangements. The Energy Minister insisted that current agreements regarding the Dragon gas project are still active regardless of military actions next door. Operations continue without losing any cash.
Moonilal confirmed that the specific American license permitting this project remains valid. This authorization allows exploration to proceed even after Venezuelan officials previously threatened to revoke approvals last year. Work apparently keeps moving forward along lines agreed upon before everything went sideways recently.
Relevant stakeholders are supposedly still talking with their...
Buying a golden passport just got way harder thanks to intense new security hurdles. Prime Minister Terrance Drew told reporters that his administration is enforcing mandatory residency requirements alongside global biometric data collection for every applicant. This marks a massive shift for the local CBI Programme.
The government is desperate to fix the battered reputation attached to this cash cow. Critics previously slammed the scheme for selling passports too cheaply and ignoring red flags. Drew insisted these changes prove they remain serious about keeping standards high while attracting legitimate investors rather than shady characters.
This crackdown follows earlier attempts to clean up the industry since 2022. Leaders hiked...
A med school in Belize collapsed and left students completely stranded. The Ministry of Education finally spoke up regarding the closure of American Northwest University School of Medicine. That charter expired previously because the administration failed to meet the mandatory renewal terms. Officials admitted roughly twenty-five locals are worried about their degrees.
Bureaucrats have started talking with the University of Belize to see if displaced learners can transfer there. Authorities want to ensure everyone switches tracks without ruining their academic progress. They promised to help these kids find options that keep their doctor dreams alive.
The government even hinted they might pay some financial costs tied to transferring...
St. Kitts is basically becoming a holding pen for deportees on the American dime. Terrance Drew confirmed his government signed a deal letting the States ship certain Caribbean nationals straight to the Federation. This fresh agreement explicitly covers people from the Caribbean Community currently stateside while leaving out Haitians entirely.
The Prime Minister swore that violent offenders or sex criminals would remain strictly banned from entry. He also claimed the Federation keeps full power to reject any specific transfer requests whenever it wants. American taxpayers are footing the entire bill for logistics and implementation under this strategic arrangement.
This move mirrors similar pacts inked recently with neighbors like...
Holness is hitting the prayer mat hard, hoping Jamaica dodges this geopolitical mess. The Prime Minister told a prayer gathering that he begs God daily for help navigating uncharted waters without inviting trouble. He claimed his job involves keeping the island safe rather than steering into avoidable hazards.
This cautious tone follows wild regional drama after American forces grabbed Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela. That operation caused massive flight disruptions throughout the eastern Caribbean while shutting down airspace. Everyone is clearly on edge about getting dragged into conflicts they did not start.
Tensions spiked further when strict American immigration policies hit neighbors like Antigua and Barbuda. Travelers from there...
Local builders panicked and flooded city offices with paperwork before the new rules dropped. Bulawayo City Council greenlit over eight million dollars in construction projects during November 2025 as developers scrambled to beat a regulatory deadline. Nearly fifteen hundred applications clogged the system, signaling a massive rebound for the property sector.
This sudden rush happened because everyone feared Statutory Instrument 56, which tweaked the Architects Act. Starting December first, only registered pros can draft specific blueprints. The Building Control Section report confirms that submissions spiked forty-three percent to nearly sixteen million dollars in value simply to dodge that requirement.

A provincial minister stepped in to save a school from a road-blocking traditional chief. Ezra Chadzamira ordered local agencies to speed up paperwork for Riverton Academy in Masvingo. This directive came after he sat down with Chief Murinye and owner Philimon Mutangiri following that chaotic scene involving a truck obstructing the entryway.
Tensions boiled over when Elias Munodawafa physically stopped cars carrying students because he never approved the building plans. Mutangiri constructed the facility on family grounds, but the traditional leader felt ignored. Law enforcement from Muchakata eventually showed up to clear the blockade, enabling traffic to move.
Chadzamira explained that the owners filed applications, yet construction...
Schools are holding grades hostage over bus money, and parents are furious. The National Association of Schools, Development Associations, and Committees wants authorities to punish institutions keeping Advanced Level and Ordinary Level scores from broke students. Max Mkandla leads this charge against educators barring access over unpaid bus levies.
Mkandla argues that financial arrears should never stop kids from seeing their hard-earned ZIMSEC marks or attending class. He points out that many learners pay these transport fees without ever actually using the service. Denying transcripts for missed payments seems incredibly petty to these advocates.
Discussion also touched on instructors running private side hustles. Mkandla...
A traditional leader went rogue mode blocking a boarding school with his government truck. Ephias Munodawafa, known locally as Chief Murinye, claims Riverton Academy in Masvingo legally does not exist despite housing nearly a thousand students. He insists the proprietor, Philimon Mutangiri, totally ignored gaining permission before building.
Murinye physically obstructed the path into Riverton Academy Extension using an Isuzu to prevent parents from dropping off their kids. He argues the facility sits on communal grazing land seized for personal gain without approval. The chief maintains that proper council applications remain unfinished and calls the institution illegal.
Allegations surfaced suggesting Mutangiri bribed village heads...
