Two men called Moses Mpofu and Mike Chimombe were supposed to go to court today. They needed to explain what happened to some money from a special project that helps people raise goats. The court has moved their meeting to February 20 because the lawyer's family member died.
The lawyer, Mr Dzvetero, must attend a funeral. Judge Kwenda understood this and said everyone should come back next week. People across Zimbabwe want to know what will happen because this is a very important case.
These men tried many times to stop the court from investigating their actions. They even asked to stay out of jail until the court finished. The judge said no because he worried they might run away. If people found out they did something wrong, they...
Zimbabwe's main bank is making special money called ZiG works better. Dr John Mushayavanhu runs this bank, and he wants people to trust ZiG more. Last year, the bank stored lots of gold and other treasures worth five hundred million dollars, which helped make ZiG stronger.
The bank learned from past mistakes. When there was lots of money floating around, prices went up fast, making people sad. The bank fixed this by being careful about how much money it let people use. Some business people said they needed more money to work with.
Dr Mushayavanhu found a smart way to help. He lets banks give more money to people who want to make things or grow food. But he makes sure people can't spend this money on buying regular stuff. This keeps...
A special university called Marondera University will soon open a new science building. They have worked hard since 2021 to build it, and it's almost finished. Professor Justice Nyamangara runs the university, and he showed the building to Dr Frederick Shava, who helps run all the universities in Zimbabwe.
At first, people will use this building for office work. Later, it will become a special place where scientists can study important things that help farmers grow food better. The scientists will look at dirt from farms to tell farmers what they need to add to make plants grow. They will check if the water is safe to drink or good for watering plants. They can even help people who dig for special rocks and metals in mines.
Dr Shava...
The main bank of Zimbabwe wants to ensure that all the money in the country stays safe from computer bad guys. Dr John Mushayavanhu, who runs this big bank, checked how well other banks protect their computers and money in 2024. He found that most banks did a good job keeping everything safe.
The banks have special teams watching their computers all the time. These teams catch anyone trying to steal money or cause trouble through the internet. They act fast when they see something wrong. Many banks teach their workers about computer safety, which helps everyone protect their money better.
The main bank promised to keep checking all the other banks and tell them how to make their computers even safer. A smart banker named Raymond...
The mayor of Harare told everyone that his city lost a lot of money—more than 250 million dollars over six years—because it didn't have a special computer system to keep track of everything.
The mayor, Jacob Mafume, thinks some city employees made it hard to set up this computer system because they wanted to steal money. He shared this information when he was talking to a group of people led by a former judge named Maphios Cheda.
The computer system they need helps cities manage their money, buy things, and ensure everyone follows the rules. Without it, the city might have lost even more money than anyone thought before. The mayor said he tried very hard to make the city install this system, but other people kept stopping it.

Parliament starts working again today after taking a break in December. During their break, they only met to approve Zimbabwe's money plans for 2025.
Small groups of parliament members have already started meeting quietly to study new laws. They want to improve them before everyone votes on them.

Parliament wants to create better rules for mines. These rules will ensure fair treatment of people who own farms and live near mines. They will...
The government leaders from Southern Africa and East Africa met on Saturday. They talked about fixing the problems in eastern Congo. They agreed to help people instead of blaming each other.
The first thing they want is to stop all the fighting. They want everyone to put down their weapons. This will let food and supplies reach the people who need them. The leaders asked their army chiefs to go to Congo within five days. These army chiefs will meet everyone who has been fighting, make sure the fighting stops, and keep the roads open.
Army leaders understand fighting very well. They can tell when someone tries to trick them. They will make sure everyone follows the new rules. All the countries near Congo promised not to send weapons to...
The government will ensure that everyone who lost their things in the big fire at Mbare Market last year has a fair chance to sell again. Some bad people tried to take money from traders, asking for $10 to write their names on lists. But Minister Daniel Garwe visited the new market yesterday and promised this would stop.
"We checked everyone properly," Minister Garwe said. "We will put all the real traders' names in the newspapers. Nobody needs to pay money to be on the list." He explained they are building two markets - one temporary and one permanent. These markets will help Zimbabwe become a richer country, just like other places around the world.
Minister Monica Mutsvangwa discussed how the government kept its promise to build the...
Banks in Zimbabwe want to help make the country grow. They give most of their money to people working in farming, mining, places where visitors come, and places that make things. Last year, banks gave these important workers more than seven out of every ten dollars they had.
Zimbabwe needs money from other countries because some rich countries made rules that make it hard for Zimbabwe to borrow money. But the banks found ways to help important workers. The banks want to help people make new things and grow food instead of lending money for people to buy things at shops.
Dr John Mushayavanhu from the big bank said most banks are doing well. Almost all banks have enough money saved up. Only one small bank, Time Bank, has less money, but...
