International partners have given Zimbabwe $20 million to build schools. The national treasury added more funds to help construct 120 new schools and 300 classrooms this year. These efforts aim to address the shortage of educational facilities across the country. Zimbabwe needs about 3,000 more schools to serve all students properly.
The national government plans to tackle this problem through teamwork between different departments. Education Minister Torerai Moyo shared these plans with lawmakers after they raised concerns about poor school conditions. Parliament members had reported problems with basic facilities, lack of accessibility for disabled students, and unfinished projects due to money shortages.
Moyo told Parliament the...

Zimbabweans face power outages that last around 17 hours every day. Some places go dark for three or four days without any electricity at all. These long blackouts signal more than just occasional problems—they show the country is close to a total energy collapse. Just as water services broke down years ago, electric service might become permanently unreliable unless leaders take strong action soon.
Twenty years ago, many urban areas went years without steady water, something nobody predicted. The same pattern appears with electricity today. What started as brief occasional outages has grown into widespread system failure because of neglect, theft of funds, and poor leadership. People have begun to accept these lengthy power cuts as...

South Africans buzz with talk about Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini asking courts for a divorce from his first wife, Queen Ntokozo kaMayisela. This breaks with deep customs among his traditional subjects. The action surprised many because Zulu culture accepts multiple wives but rejects the idea of ending marriages. Cultural expert Professor Gugu Mazibuko explains that people felt shocked when the king filed legal papers.
The Zulu monarch guards ancient practices that view marriage as central to royal success. He holds only ceremonial power in modern South Africa yet maintains strong influence. The government provides him with millions of dollars yearly for his activities. Since taking the throne in 2021, the 50-year-old leader has...
East African leaders work for peace in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, but their efforts face obstacles from General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who leads the Uganda army. In recent days, President Museveni's son has acted like an angry animal, threatening to attack the Bunia region of Congo. He claims people from his ethnic group, the Bahima-Tutsi clan, suffer persecution there. Last Sunday morning, Kainerugaba posted shocking messages against reporters on social media, warning media companies about upcoming inspections and military training for editors.
Despite holding extreme views on the Congo conflict, he attended the East African Community military leaders meeting in Nairobi. The group discussed how to restore security in...
Kenya's top diplomat in Uganda wants to talk with General Muhoozi Kainerugaba about an article that angered many people. Joash Maangi sent a letter asking for this meeting after The Standard newspaper ran a front-page story on February 28, 2025. The newspaper called the general a "Four-star brat" and said he acts unpredictably, causing problems between countries in the area.
The Kenyan embassy believes this story hurt the good relationship between Kenya and Uganda. They think talking face-to-face might help fix any problems caused by what reporters wrote. This comes at a tense time because a group that supports General Muhoozi plans to protest at the Kenyan embassy in Kampala soon.
This group, the Patriotic League of Uganda, feels...
A Ugandan military member shot his wife dead after an argument about food preparation. L/Cpl Sserunkuma Denis, stationed at Kaweweta Army Training School, fired at Kebirungi Kella Adyeeri on Monday afternoon. The couple had argued throughout the day at their residence located on the military base in Nakaseke.
Police reports indicate the situation turned deadly around 3:00 PM when Kebirungi fled from their grass-thatched house. Denis chased her with his service weapon, an SMG rifle. He shot her once in the head, causing immediate death. He then attempted suicide by shooting himself under the chin but survived the self-inflicted wound.
Regional Police Spokesman Sam Twineamazima verified these events to reporters. Officers arrived...
Canada stopped all trade with Rwanda because Rwanda helped M23 rebels and broke rules about respecting Congo's borders. This action comes after similar steps by Britain and America against Rwanda. Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly and other Canadian leaders made this announcement on Monday, saying they strongly oppose what's happening in eastern Congo.
The Canadian government believes Rwanda Defense Force troops are inside Congo, helping rebels take over cities like Goma and Bukavu. They view these actions as clear violations of international law and Congo's right to control its territory. Rwanda immediately denied these claims and called them unfair. Officials in Kigali said they plan to ask Canada for more details about these serious...
