A group of war veterans continues to push for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to leave office. These former fighters say they still plan massive demonstrations despite police efforts to stop them. Group leader Blessed Geza has gone into hiding after police declared him wanted for allegedly undermining presidential authority and encouraging public violence. The members scattered when authorities began searching for them.
Knox Chivero spoke for the group through a video released Sunday night from an unknown location. He claimed Mnangagwa sent special teams to hunt them down with orders to kill rather than arrest. Chivero explained they would not rush their plans for national protests. He used a Shona saying meaning fast movement does not...
Zimbabwe plans to build 120 new schools throughout the country during 2025. Primary and Secondary Education Minister Torerayi Moyo shared this news with parliament members.

South Africa wants to bring Formula One racing back to Africa after thirty years. The country hopes to host a Grand Prix again by 2027. Two locations compete for this honor: a street circuit through Cape Town or the historic Kyalami race track near Johannesburg. Sports minister Gayton McKenzie created a committee that plans to choose between these options during the third quarter.
McKenzie believes South Africa stands an excellent chance of winning the bid. He stated in early February that the Grand Prix will definitely happen in 2027. The minister said he does not care whether Cape Town or Johannesburg hosts the race as long as it returns to South Africa. The last Formula One race on African soil took place at Kyalami in 1993, just...
Football powerhouse Highlanders started the 2025 premiership season poorly. They suffered a 0-1 loss against new team MWOS during Sunday's Castle Lager Premier Soccer League opener at Baobab stadium. Another major club, Dynamos, failed to score against ZPC Kariba at Rufaro, ending with a 0-0 result. These outcomes disappointed many local fans who expected stronger performances.
Salif Cheya scored the winning goal for MWOS just after sixty minutes of play. He took advantage when Highlanders goalkeeper Raphael Pitisi and defenders miscommunicated. The striker calmly placed the ball into the net from close range. This loss brought sad news to Highlanders supporters, who had hoped for better results this season after years of disappointing...
Highlanders coach Kelvin Kaindu blamed their recent loss against MWOS on inadequate training before the season began. His team fell short by one goal to the league newcomers during their first match last Sunday at Baobab Stadium in Ngezi. The home team scored through Tafadzwa George after 67 minutes of play.
Kaindu spoke openly about their performance problems after the match ended. He described it as a tough contest where both sides struggled to create quality chances. His players made a crucial mistake that led to an avoidable goal, which proved impossible to recover from during the remaining time.
The coach explained the major challenges his team faced during preparations. For almost four weeks leading up to the season, they lacked...
Kaizer Chiefs has shown interest in Zimbabwe striker Prince Dube for next season. The talented forward currently plays for Tanzanian powerhouse Yanga SC. According to Soccer Laduma magazine, Chiefs scouts track his progress closely and see him as a valuable addition to their attacking lineup.
An insider spoke to the publication about the situation with Prince Dube. "The club reviews which strikers they can realistically sign, and Prince appears most promising right at this moment. Other target players like Michael Olunga and Fiston Mayele seem hard to obtain. That explains why the focus moved toward Dube. His current form at Yanga looks impressive."
Dube has experience playing South African soccer from his time with SuperSport United...
Newcomers MWOS started their Castle Lager Premiership journey with a dream victory. They defeated the Highlanders in their league opener, giving team boss Patrick Tamson everything he hoped for.

Fans gathered at Baobab in Mhondoro-Ngezi and celebrated as they watched their club achieve greatness.
Mashonaland West Province watched their new club take its first successful steps. MWOS began the match strongly when Innocent Zambezi nearly scored, but his shot went over the bar at 11 minutes.
