Zimbabwe's team that fights stealing and cheating helped save a lot of money last year. They found more than 30 million dollars that bad people had taken. These special helpers work hard to catch people who steal and make them give the money back.

A man named Mr Geza took over a beautiful hotel near Lake Chivero. He made the people who worked there leave, and he took their cars away. This happened in 2020 when he used his power as a war veteran to make the owner, Mr McDonald, give up his hotel.
Mr McDonald wants Mr Geza to pay one and a half million dollars for the hotel. They made a deal that Mr Geza would give him the money in two weeks. Mr Geza never paid any money at all. He just moved into the hotel without asking and started living there. People tried to make him leave because he broke their agreement, but he refused.
Mr Geza says he doesn't need to pay because the land belongs to the government. He thinks Mr McDonald can't sell the hotel because the government took the...
Bad people want money from traders in Mbare. They tell the traders they must pay ten dollars to sell things at the new market. The traders lost their old shops in a big fire last year. This means people think they can make twenty thousand dollars by tricking all the traders.

The government wants to help farmers by making it easier for them to prove they own their land. They opened a special office at Makombe in Harare where farmers can receive important papers called title deeds. These papers show the land belongs to them.
When farmers come to this new office, they need to bring their identity cards and other papers that show they are allowed to farm the land. They must pay ten dollars to start the work. A person at the office will help them fill out some forms. Another worker will check if the farm has been properly measured.
The office promises to give farmers their title deeds very quickly if they can pay for everything right away. If farmers need more time to pay, they can take up to three months. The...

A big hole opened up in a road near Tokyo, Japan. The hole grew very large - wider than four school buses parked together! It swallowed a truck with its driver inside. The driver is 74 years old, and people have been trying hard to find him.
After two weeks of searching, they found the truck's cabin inside a sewer pipe under the ground. They used special flying cameras called drones to look inside. These cameras showed what might be a person in the truck, but rescuers aren't sure if it's the missing driver.
The situation became dangerous for people living nearby. Officials asked hundreds of residents to leave their homes because the hole kept growing bigger. They even asked people not to take baths or wash clothes because the extra...
