Cops are begging everyone to keep kids safe as schools head back. The police issued a nationwide plea targeting parents, schools, and transport drivers. They warned drivers to avoid speeding and ensure vehicles are properly certified for road use. Overloading school buses under any circumstances must be strictly avoided to prevent accidents.
Authorities also urged that learners never travel at night due to the risks of crime and crashes. Children should not attempt to cross flooded rivers or bridges on foot or in vehicles. The statement highlighted the danger of carrying large amounts of cash for school fees. Paying through banks or official channels prevents attracting armed robbers to school premises.

One company just got exclusive rights to fix rivers nationwide. The government authorized Prevail Group, owned by Paul Tungwarara, to rehabilitate the Muroodzi River as a prototype project. A cabinet directive suspended all other river rehabilitation work across the country, blocking any other firms from receiving contracts.

The directive orders provincial ministers not to award related contracts to any other company. It states the Muroodzi project is the only approved activity pending further national guidelines. This arrangement has drawn scrutiny, given Prevail's expanding portfolio of major government contracts. The group has worked on...

The prize money for winning the championship is not enough to run a club for a full season. Selling talent is a strategy to recover expenses in a capital-intensive...
