Zimbabwe builds 12 AI silos to boost grain storage
Zimbabwe is betting big on robots to ensure the nation stops going hungry. The government is aggressively building twelve high-tech artificial intelligence silo complexes at Grain Marketing Board depots nationwide to modernize infrastructure. This heavy investment intends to secure food supplies and meet Vision 2030 goals. Once these sites start working, the total number of AI-managed facilities will reach fourteen. Two setups in Mutare and Kwekwe are already active, and the complete project pushes national storage capacity past one million tonnes. Each complex can hold fifty-six thousand tonnes of produce inside seven huge bins. GMB operations manager Patrick Muzvimbiri insists the work is necessary to stop post-harvest waste. He...

Minister Torerai Moyo insists the 2026 academic year kicks off with zero drama, claiming logistical perfection.

Officials are deploying everywhere to watch over the reopening like hawks. The administration wants to ensure safe transport for boarders, specifically telling parents to use official buses or drive the kids themselves. Form One students already started moving to their dorms recently to get settled. The cash situation remains a headache, but the rules state that schools cannot demand...
Midfielder Frankson Bushiri dies in crash at 34
Zimbabwe football lost a real grinder after a car crash claimed Frankson Bushiri. The midfielder perished instantly when his vehicle struck a tree near Clonsilla while he drove alone from Kwekwe to Gweru. Police confirmed the impact was severe enough to end his life right there on the roadside. Bushiri was only 34 and had just joined a Central Region Soccer League team to keep his career moving. Fans knew him as Warrior because he battled through stints at Shabanie Mine, TelOne, Chapungu, and Buffaloes. He initially developed his skills at Mimosa FC back in Zvishavane. He spent last season pushing Sheasham toward promotion, although they finished second behind Hardrock. That club released a statement expressing deep grief over the...
Simba Bhora lose five stars but swear they’ll reload fast
Simba Bhora is bleeding talent everywhere, but the front office claims everything is fine. The Shamva squad imploded rapidly just before the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League kicks off, sending Junior Makunike, Donald Mudadi, and Boid Mutukure to newly promoted Hardrock. Matters got worse when Emmanuel Ziocha and Isaskar Gurirab dipped for Scottland. Even the coach bailed as Joel Luphahla headed to FC Platinum, leaving Mandla Mpofu to handle the mess. Spokesperson Charles Nyatsine insists panic is unnecessary because contract law rules everything. He claims they survived a similar exodus previously while nearly winning the title, arguing that fresh recruits will fill the gaps. Nyatsine hyped their scouting ability, referencing how...
Zimbabweans taunt SANDF in Limpopo River standoff
Internet users are losing their minds over a clip showing civilians mocking armed troops. A viral video captured Zimbabweans wading into the Limpopo River to shout insults at South African National Defence Force soldiers on patrol boats. The military deployed these vessels recently after the Border Management Authority requested backup to block illegal entries. The footage shows men approaching the boat manned by five armed guards while screaming abuse. This confrontation sparked a fierce debate on social platforms. Some locals demanded immediate retaliation, but others argued the hecklers stood on Zimbabwean soil and did nothing illegal to justify a strike. Ceeya Mchunu posted on X that observers want deadly force used against stone...
ZANU-PF senator urges SA patience with job-seeking Zimbabweans
A visiting politician told jobless locals to quit whining about migrants stealing their livelihoods while attending a massive political celebration. Senator Richard Maduke Ndlovu dropped this hot take at the ANC’s 114th birthday bash at Moruleng Stadium. He urged the locals in North West Province to show patience with foreign nationals despite the massive unemployment crisis fueling tension. Junior Khumalo pressed the ZANU-PF member on why voters feel betrayed, seeing illegal mining operations snatch up scarce work. The senator dismissed the outrage, claiming that Zimbabweans have always worked these mines historically. He argued that the real issue is simply a lack of jobs rather than who actually holds them. Ndlovu suggested that...
Kasukuwere debunks Mzembi death rumors
Political rumors just hit a new low with fake death claims. Saviour Kasukuwere went on X to shut down gossip that Walter Mzembi kicked the bucket. The exiled figure insisted his old colleague is still breathing but remains locked up unfairly. He blamed these grim whispers on shady operators trying to stir the pot. Mzembi actually sits in a cell currently after getting snagged last summer. The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission grabbed him in Harare over warrants from a stalled abuse of office trial. Authorities claim he swiped gear meant for fan parks during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The state accuses him of taking televisions and public assets for personal use while he led the tourism ministry. He fled the country years ago, claiming...
SANDF patrols Limpopo River to block illegal crossings
South Africa just deployed speedboats to guard a river because the actual border fence failed completely. The South African National Defence Force sent these vessels to patrol the Limpopo River after the Border Management Authority begged for help in stopping unauthorized crossings from Zimbabwe. Migrants are supposedly gaming the system while watching the patrols closely. Reporter Scara Mafokoane observed groups waiting on the banks until the military craft moved west before rushing across the water. The whole dash from one side to the other takes less than five minutes once the coast looks clear. Officials admit that current barriers stop absolutely nobody. One agent noted that they arrested someone only to see the same face trying...
Harare council denies buying FC Hunters for $600k
City Hall just nuked a rumor about blowing six figures on a soccer team. Harare City Council denied claims that they dropped six hundred thousand dollars to buy the FC Hunters franchise. Gossip suggested the deal involved absorbing seven players and combining the management staff. Officials labeled the report as total fiction meant to cause panic. They admitted that talks are happening, but insisted no cash has moved yet. The administration argued that the press should have asked them before running with unsubstantiated numbers. Mayor Jacob Mafume went on social media to reject the price tag. He explained that regulations limit sports spending to seven percent of the total budget. The politician noted they already run a football club...
