Emmanuel Makandiwa recently asked President Emmerson Mnangagwa to welcome back members of the G40 faction. The popular church leader described these former political rivals as harmless people during a church service at his huge building in Chitungwiza.
Many G40 members ran away from Zimbabwe back in 2017 because they feared what might happen to them under the new leadership. These folks had battled for control within the Zanu PF party before Mnangagwa took charge of the country. Former government officials like Saviour Kasukuwere, Walter Mzembi, Jonathan Moyo, and Patrick Zhuwawo all escaped to other countries after the change in power.
Makandiwa spoke very highly about Walter Mzembi during his message to churchgoers. He called Mzembi...
The Harare City Council did nothing but pretty up Rufaro Stadium with shallow fixes, just like adding makeup to hide flaws. Mayor Jacob Mafume bragged about the place last year after it reopened, claiming it ranked among the best fields in Zimbabwe. He even compared the grass to what you might see at Spain's famous Santiago Bernabeu. The mayor talked up how green and lush the stadium looked when they finally opened the big structure located in Mbare.
Fast-forward less than twelve months, and everything falls apart as the quick fixes start showing their true colors. Four games have happened there during an eight-day stretch since the 2025 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League started up last week. Rain turns parts of the field into a soggy...
President Museveni wants courts to use African methods for solving problems. He called for this change at a ceremony where 21 new judges took their oaths at State House in Entebbe. The President believes local communities should handle minor conflicts like stolen property or family issues. He thinks the current system costs people much more than needed.
Museveni suggested changing the name "Alternative Dispute Resolution" to "Original Dispute Resolution." He explained that Africans have solved conflicts their way for centuries. The President described how Banyankole tradition dealt with unhappy marriages – the woman returned to her parents, both families talked things out, and whoever did wrong paid something to make up for it.

Uganda's water company teamed up with a local industry group to improve the performance of its equipment. The National Water and Sewerage Corporation teamed up with Luwero Industries Limited in Kampala. They plan to cut costs and build things themselves instead of buying from other countries. Both groups signed papers to make this team effort happen.
Dr. Silver Mugisha leads the water company and thinks this partnership really matters. His crew must replace pumps at places like Ggaba to move more water. When they buy pumps from other countries, they wait six whole months for shipping. Teaming up with Luwero lets them fix and upgrade the pumps they already have. This team effort keeps spare pumps ready when others break down.

Uganda just started a big new program to help refugees and the local people who live near them. Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja kicked off the Uganda Refugee Resilience Initiative, which Denmark pays for with 145 billion shillings. That equals about 40 million US dollars. The program runs for over four years, from September 2024 through December 2028.
The program teaches people better farming methods that work even as the climate changes. It also helps them take care of their land and natural resources. Women receive special attention since they often face bigger problems during environmental crises. The Danish Refugee Council leads the work in West Nile, covering the Madi-Okollo, Terego, Koboko, Yumbe, Obongi, and Moyo districts...

Lawmakers backing former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua have lashed out at Kenya's peace commission after it warned him about stirring up trouble. The politicians think the National Cohesion and Integration Commission helps the government target Gachagua unfairly. The commission stepped in because Gachagua told President William Ruto to stay away from Meru if the Chief Justice loses her job.
The peace commission believes these words might cause ethnic tensions between different communities. MP Edward Muriu from Gatanga led the charge against President Ruto, claiming he uses government agencies as weapons against political rivals. Muriu defended Gachagua, saying he simply stands up for the Mt Kenya region when it faces being left out...

Gaming companies keep racing to add better parts inside their controllers. Many brands recently added TMR joysticks to their products, with more devices coming soon. GuliKit just made a fresh version of their KingKong 2 controller called KK2T. This new device includes TMR electromagnetic parts for smoother control.
The updated controller looks exactly like the black KK2 Pro from 2022. Looking at both side by side, you might notice the cheaper KK2 lacks the fancy silver details. Both older models came with Hall Effect sticks, which gamers once considered amazing tech. Hardcore controller fans think these Hall Effect parts feel outdated compared to newer TMR options.
Companies market these electromagnetic systems as fixes for stick...
