Zimbabwe Battling Mutoriro Crisis Amid Youth Drug Surge
Many people in Zimbabwe take harmful drugs that make them sick. One dangerous drug is called "mutoriro," and it hurts people's bodies and minds. When people use these drugs, it causes problems for their families and the whole community. More people might steal or break laws because of drugs, and hospitals become very busy helping sick people. Zimbabwe needs more places where people can go to feel better when they stop using drugs. Many people live far away from these special places, which makes it hard to find help. Some people feel ashamed about using drugs and don't want to ask for help. Young people who don't have jobs often start taking drugs because they feel sad or lonely. The police and other helpers want to stop drugs from...
Mpofu Chimombe Face 20 Years in Goat Scheme Fraud
Today brings us back to an important court case. Two business friends, Moses Mpofu and Mike Chimombe, must go to the High Court.

RBZ Elevates ZiG in Fight Against Inflation
The Bank of Zimbabwe shared some important news last week. They want people to use their new money, ZiG, more often. Dr John Mushayavanhu, who runs the bank, talked about how well ZiG has worked since it started in April last year. The bank has become stronger because it saved more gold. It used to have 1.5 tonnes of gold, but it increased to 2.7 tonnes. It also saved US dollars. All these savings add up to US$500 million. This helps ensure ZiG stays strong and stable. Dr Mushayavanhu found a smart way to help businesses. Banks must keep some money safe with the central bank. He decided this saved money could be used to help companies make more products. This means companies can borrow money to grow bigger, but they cannot spend it on...
President Mnangagwa Revives Lost Chiefdom Amid Cheers
Let me rewrite this story in a simpler way that's easy for young readers to understand. The people in Guruve District are very happy because President Mnangagwa brought back their special leader, Chief Chimbwerere. A long time ago, in 1963, some mean people who ruled their land took away this important leadership position. This happened because the chiefs refused to bow down to a man named Mr. Leat, who was in charge at that time. Mr. Felix Alexander Chikowo, who works for the government, said President Mnangagwa made the right choice to bring back this chief position. The president can do this because he wants to fix the unfair things that happened many years ago. The story of Chief Chimbwerere goes back hundreds of years. The first...
Bank Boss Declares War on Zimbabwe Informal Trade
Zimbabwe's money boss, Dr Mushayavanhu, wants to help small shop owners run their businesses better. He shared his ideas last Thursday about strengthening the country's money. The government noticed that many small shops weren't paying taxes like big stores do. This made things difficult for bigger shops that followed all the rules. Minister Ncube made new rules to fix this problem. Anyone selling goods must show papers that prove they bought them the right way. If they can't show these papers, people will think they brought the goods into Zimbabwe without permission. Small shop owners need to start keeping their money in banks. They must also let people pay with both Zimbabwean and US dollars. If they don't follow these rules, they...
