Jazz fans plan to meet at Sherwood Golf Club in Mabelreign, Harare, this Saturday. They'll celebrate the memory of Bob "Headmaster" Nyabinde through music and dancing. The famous musician passed away on December 23, 2023, at 68 years old after fighting a long battle with a stroke. His musical legacy continues through his talented sons Albert and Agga Nyabinde who make waves on the local music scene.
Agga leads The 2 Nice Band, and his older brother Albert teaches music and plays with different groups. The brothers perform together whenever Albert has free time. They'll play for jazz lovers at the weekend event alongside veteran singer Victor Kunonga, who was close friends with their dad. Popular jazz performer Prudence Katomeni-Mbofana...
Apple needs to update the Mac Studio badly. The current model runs on older M2 chips even though MacBooks already use chips two generations ahead. Mark Gurman, a trusted source, says Apple plans to announce better Mac Studio models very soon. The upgrade details sound pretty strange, though. Reports claim the refreshed Mac Studio will come with both M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips - yes, you read that right.
Most people never thought an M3 Ultra chip existed at all. Everyone figured Apple would jump straight to making an M4 Ultra for the Mac Studio. Things become even weirder when you consider how Ultra chips normally work. These powerful processors usually combine two Max chips through something called UltraFusion technology. The problem...
NVIDIA dropped its new GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition card. They started their RTX 50 series launch quickly from the top with the 5090 and 5080 for serious gamers and then added the 5070 Ti between performance and enthusiast levels. The standard 5070 targets performance segment users who want 1440p gaming with everything maxed out, including ray tracing. You can buy it starting at $550, way cheaper than the 5070 Ti, which costs $750.
The RTX 5070 brings all the latest tech from the Blackwell architecture, like Neural Rendering, Hyper Geometry ray tracing support, and DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation. NVIDIA built the card using their third gaming GPU chip from Blackwell, GB205, which is almost at full capacity. They packed 12 GB of...
Mac gaming faces strange times lately. Companies release many big games for macOS, but players rarely buy them. Ubisoft plans to launch Assassin's Creed: Shadows for Mac users on March 20, the same day it arrives on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. This news might excite Mac gamers until they learn about the price tag - $70 - and that you can only find it on the Mac App Store, not Steam.
This setup creates major problems for people who use both Mac and Windows computers. Steam refuses to include files for both systems in one purchase, so anyone wanting to play on both platforms must pay twice for the exact same game. Many folks hesitate to spend double the money on identical content, which explains why Mac gaming struggles despite hardware...
Businessman Wicknell Chivayo jumped into the mix after Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa threw down a big money challenge to other spiritual leaders.
Last Sunday at church, Makandiwa made a bold offer. He invited any prophet or traditional healer to come to his church service the next week and correctly guess what he had in his pocket. Anyone who succeeded would walk away with a cool million dollars. This dares spread fast across social media when ZimCelebs posted a video of Makandiwa making his announcement. The United Family International Church leader basically asked anyone with real prophetic powers to step up and prove themselves.
Chivayo, famous for his flashy lifestyle and his membership in the Johane Masowe Chishanu apostolic group...
War veterans calling for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down say they won't back off from their plans to remove him through major protests.
The group was led by Blessed Geza but scattered after authorities put Geza on a wanted list for allegedly trying to stir up violence and undercut the president's power. In a video posted Sunday night from an unknown place, group spokesperson Knox Chivero claimed Mnangagwa sent death squads to hunt them down with kill orders.
Using a Shona saying meaning "running doesn't mean you've arrived," Chivero explained they won't rush their decision about ending the nationwide shutdown. He promised that "Cde Geza's liberating signal" would come very soon, describing their effort as huge because it...
According to inside sources, Harare's suspended town clerk, Hosiah Chisango, keeps getting a big $27,000 monthly paycheck plus benefits even though his work agreement has ended.
Last Friday, city council members asked human capital director Bosman Matengarufu why Chisango and other high-ranking officials receive such huge perks despite the terrible state of public services throughout the city.
Housing committee leader Blessing Muroyiwa accused Matengarufu of hiding important details when asked about how executive salaries affect the city's budget. He wanted to know why certain people earn between $15,000 and $27,000 monthly when the council claims it lacks money for basic services.
Matengarufu brushed off claims about excessive...
People at the High Court became upset yesterday because prison officials never brought Mike Chimombe to his fraud hearing. Nobody explained why he missed the morning session, forcing Judge Pisirayi Kwenda to demand the Zimbabwe Prisons Service bring Chimombe that afternoon. The truth came out later when everyone learned he felt sick.
His attorney, Professor Lovemore Madhuku, asked for extra time. He told everyone that doctors ordered Chimombe to stay in bed for seven days starting February 28. The lawyer requested that the trial date be pushed back until his client recovered completely. Judge Kwenda agreed and scheduled the new court date for March 17.
This case keeps getting pushed back for different reasons. Both Chimombe and his...
People across Zimbabwe have switched to gas for cooking and heating at record numbers. The past three years saw folks using 17.14% more liquefied petroleum gas, according to official reports. Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority says gas usage jumped to 77,437 million kilograms last year compared to 66,106 million kilograms earlier. Back in 2022, Zimbabweans used 59,989 million kilograms of this fuel.
The head of ZERA, Edington Mazambani, points to two main reasons for this big jump. First, electricity keeps going out because of water problems at Kariba South Power Station during dry spells. Second, their agency taught many people that gas can be safe when handled correctly. Old equipment breaking down at Hwange Power Station makes...
