Rwanda wants $63.5 million back from Britain after their refugee deal fell apart. The African nation told reporters Tuesday that it expects payment for the broken agreement. British officials had asked Rwanda to forget about the money based on trust between the countries. The relationship soured when new UK leadership took over last summer.
Former British boss Boris Johnson started this plan in April 2022. His government signed papers promising to ship illegal immigrants from the UK to Rwanda for five years. Not a single flight ever happened because European judges stopped the first one in June 2022. British courts later ruled Rwanda might treat refugees badly, making the entire plan illegal.
Keir Starmer became British leader in July...
Jayden Bakari hasn't lived up to everyone's expectations since he won the Most Promising Player award back in 2022. The talented 22-year-old striker scored 10 goals for Whahwa that season before things went downhill. His time at hometown club Dynamos during 2023 didn't work out great. Then he switched to their rivals CAPS United last year where injuries kept him sidelined most games. He did manage to score against his former team when CAPS United beat Dynamos 2-1 at Rufaro Stadium late last season.
His current campaign started perfectly with an equalizing goal during CAPS United's season opener against GreenFuel. The match ended 1-1 last Saturday. Bakari feels happy about his contribution and believes the supportive atmosphere at his...
ZIFA wants to help soccer grow faster across Zimbabwe by building relationships with top African soccer groups like Morocco, which regularly hosts big continental events. Nqobile Magwizi, who heads the national soccer organization, flew to Casablanca yesterday morning. He plans to meet with Fouzi Lekjaa, the president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, to discuss cooperation.
Morocco has recently completely changed its approach to soccer and become a model for other African countries to follow. Their national team, the Atlas Lions, has emerged as a major power in African soccer. Many experts consider them among the favorites to win the Africa Cup of Nations tournament they'll host this December. The country developed an...
Zimbabwe faces a drug problem that hurts people from every walk of life. Everyone feels the impact - young folks, women, kids, rich people, poor people - nobody stays untouched. Recent reports show more people use marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and meth across the country. These drugs bring addiction, health troubles, crime, violence, and broken families. The country loses millions of dollars fighting these problems each year.
Drug dealers love Zimbabwe because people use US dollars there. These criminals cross borders easily to sell their stuff and collect valuable dollars. They take big risks because they know they can make serious money. The dollar system turns Zimbabwe into a perfect spot for these international criminals to wash...

Zimbabwe looks amazing with its stunning waterfalls, green mountains, and friendly people. Visitors come from everywhere just to see our natural treasures, like Victoria Falls and the Eastern Highlands. We need to keep these places clean if we want our kids and grandkids to enjoy them someday. When we work together, everyone can help solve the littering problem.
Clean streets make life better for everybody - they keep us healthy, bring in tourists, and make us feel proud of where we live. Picture walking around Harare or Bulawayo with no trash anywhere - just clean roads, beautiful parks, and clear water. That vision can become real when each person does their small part. The responsibility belongs to all of us, and even tiny actions...
Econet Wireless Zimbabwe plans to pay 0.73 US cents for every share held. To cash in on this deal for the year ending February 28, you'll need to have shares by March 18, 2025. Last year, they gave shareholders less money—just 0.55 cents per share. The big phone company decided folks deserved a bigger piece of the pie this time.
Last year's payout totaled $15 million, landing in bank accounts after April 3, 2024. Anyone on the shareholder list by March 28 received their cash. The company makes good money and has plenty of extra cash to share. The bosses feel pretty upbeat about making even more money moving forward.
Folks from outside the country need special permission to collect these payments. Government rules require approval...
Police busted a Harare company for selling drinks with the wrong labels. Tembeya Private Limited makes ginger beverages that break food safety rules. The cops showed up after someone tipped them off about shady drinks coming from the factory. They found evidence at the company headquarters located on Railway Reserve Land in the Rugare neighborhood.
Company director Eric Iradukuda must appear before Magistrate Ruth Moyo next week when the trial kicks off on March 13. The business faces legal trouble for breaking the Food Standards Act because their product labels missed important information. Detectives from the CID Drugs and Narcotics Unit handled the investigation after receiving secret information about the operation.
The main...
The magistrate in Chegutu cleared former Information Deputy Minister Bright Matonga of theft charges related to two tractors valued at almost $200,000. Evelyn Mashawakure made her decision Tuesday after determining the case stemmed from business disagreements rather than criminal actions. She found that Matonga had legal rights to take back the tractors from the white farmer he worked with. The court decided this dispute belonged in civil court since it involved a broken partnership agreement.
Cops from Seruwe arrested Matonga in June last year when the white farmer, Mr. Van Breda, claimed he stole the farming equipment. The two men had previously formed a business partnership that went bad. Their relationship fell apart because Van...
