People worry about changes in Harare's nice neighborhoods. Some parts of the city might become very crowded in five years. This happens because city helpers called councilors let builders make many small houses close together. These councilors might take money from builders when they say yes to new houses.
The city hasn't given land for these small houses in seven years. The councillors look at places where builders want to build houses, but they don't know how to check if the places are good. Some people think the councilors take secret money from builders who want to start building quickly.
Mr. Addmore Nhekairo works for the city and helps with houses. He says he doesn't give land for these small houses anymore. He tells us that...
Many married people in Zimbabwe decided to stop being married last year. The number went up significantly—from 2,149 couples in 2023 to 3,214 couples in 2024. Many of these people still wait for the courts to finish their papers.
Most people who wanted to end their marriages lived in Harare, the big city. Almost two thousand couples there asked to separate. In another city called Bulawayo, eight hundred couples wanted to stop being married.
Bishop Rocky Moyo, who leads many churches, feels sad about these numbers. He says marriages break up because people cheat on each other, fight about money, or stop talking nicely to each other. He thinks people should pray together and work hard to make their marriages happy.

Something bad happened to a Zimbabwean family. A man named Richard Kaye tricked Ambassador Punungwe and his wife. He took one million dollars from them by lying about helping them make more money.
The story began in 2000. Kaye told Ambassador Punungwe to put money in a fake company called Lloyd Morgan. Kaye worked with five other people to trick the Ambassador. They made up another fake company in Europe to make their lies seem real.
The Ambassador died, but Kaye kept lying. He gave Mrs. Punungwe a paper saying she owned parts of the company. When she asked for her money back in 2009, Kaye never gave it back.
The police want to find Kaye, who they think lives in England. Zimbabwe's police asked special helpers from many countries to...
China wants to help South Africa lead a big group called G-20. This group has twenty important countries that make big choices about money and other things around the world. South Africa feels excited because it will be the first African country to hold special G-20 meetings.
A man named Marco Rubio from America said he wouldn't come to these meetings. He wrote a message saying he doesn't like some things South Africa wants to talk about, like helping the Earth stay clean and making sure everyone has fair chances. He also said wrong things about South Africa taking away people's things, which isn't true.
The leaders from different countries will meet in South African cities in February. They will talk about important things like...
Many countries need to follow special rules about money. These rules help prevent bad people from using money in the wrong ways. A group called FATF watches how countries handle their money and makes a list of countries that need to improve their compliance with these rules.
Twenty-four countries must follow strict rules about money today. Fourteen of these countries live in Africa. Some countries, like Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, and South Africa, need to make better rules about keeping money safe.
Some African countries have already improved their money rules. Ghana fixed its problems in 2021, Uganda made things right in 2024, Senegal worked hard for three years and left the list in late 2024, Nigeria wants to make everything better by...
Donald Trump has new plans for America that might change how African countries work together with the United States. On his first day back as president, he wrote many new rules, which show that he wanted to focus more on America than on helping African countries.
Trump wants America to make lots of energy from oil and gas. He thinks America needs more power right away. Many African countries promised to help stop climate change by signing the Paris Agreement. Trump does not like this agreement and wants America to leave it. This makes things hard for African countries because they worked hard to follow these climate rules.
Trump also wants to strengthen the American dollar. He created new rules about digital money, called...
