Floods have prevented thousands of people living in Chikombedzi from reaching Chiredzi Town after water covered the Chilonga low-level bridge across the Runde River. Because of this, many residents face major problems traveling for medical help or business needs. The river splits Chiredzi District into two parts, separating the larger Chikombedzi area from the main district capital. Currently, the Chilonga crossing offers the shortest path between these locations.
Another nearby route through Chipinda Pools Bridge inside Gonarezhou National Park remains unusable since Cyclone Eline damaged it back in 2000. People must travel much farther by going through Mupapa Bridge in Mwenezi or taking the Masvingo-Beitbridge Highway past Rutenga...

Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona addressed lawmakers about the tragedy during a recent Parliament session. He responded directly to questions about what happens to officers who let unsafe buses travel through checkpoints...

The National Arts Music Awards stands as Zimbabwe's premier artistic celebration, yet the recent ceremony fell short of the expected grandeur. Attendance at Harare Hippodrome remained sparse for what should represent the country's prestigious cultural showcase. Many honorees chose alternative engagements instead of attending, sending representatives, or completely missing award collection opportunities. Winky D never claimed multiple recognitions, including the coveted People's Choice accolade.
Artists seem to diminish their respect for NAMA's significance, preferring performance bookings elsewhere rather than participating directly. This annual event aims to celebrate exceptional achievements across various creative disciplines...
