Two Nash Paints workers went to court after they took US$19,591 from the firm.
Branch head Takudzwa Gorejena and branch boss Chipo Brinia Mapfumo heard their case at the Harare court. Judge Isheunesu Matova let them pay US$100 each to stay free.
Nash Paints sent its top worker, Caroline Mundunga, to speak for the firm. Court papers said Mapfumo ran the Gazaland shop in Highfield. Gorejena led the Chikwana shop in Chitungwiza.
The state lawyer, Rufaro Chonzi, said both worked at Gazaland from September 2024 to January 2025. They had to record sales in the shop's records, but they wrote down less than what left the store room.

The High Court in Bulawayo cleared ten murder trials from a group of 23 cases since last month. The National Prosecution Authority said 13 other cases stopped for different reasons.
The court plans to hear 83 cases before the first term ends. Six people faced punishment after their trials. The rest wait for a decision.
One case brought Khumbulani Tshuma back to court. He killed a man during a money game in Cowdray Park in 2022. After a fight started, Tshuma put a knife in the man's lower body.
Two past police workers from Beitbridge face trial. Xander Siyasayi and Daniel Peyani hurt and killed Blessing Nare. They burned his body. Later, they put his remains in a bag and hid it in a drain. This happened in December 2020.

Dangote Oil Works sent its first loads of plane fuel to Saudi Arabia. The fuel went to Saudi Aramco, one of the world's biggest oil firms. This move strengthens Dangote's position in the world oil trade.
Saudi Aramco runs most oil work in Saudi Arabia. The nation's leaders own much of the firm, which sells oil and gas around the world.
Aliko Dangote shared the news when business heads came to see his oil works. "We meet our big aims," Dangote said. "We sold two loads of plane fuel to Saudi Aramco."

Water in the Kariba Dam rose to 476.39 meters on Monday from 475.94 meters in January. This rise gives hope for better power output at the water power plant.
The dam needs water levels between 475.50 and 488.50 meters to make power at Kariba Power Station. The water must rise much more before the plant can produce much power. The most water comes in April, May, and June each year.
The future looks good. Weather experts say the area will see normal or more rain than normal. Last March, the Zambezi River Authority set power making at 214 megawatts. The plant can make 1,050 megawatts when full. The Authority runs the Zambezi River and Kariba Dam. Most water comes from one of Africa's biggest rivers.
Zimbabwe and nearby areas felt the...
A Harare court has cleared lawyer Stanslaus Munyaradzi Bwanya of all wrong-doing in a land fight at Carrick Creagh Estate, Borrowdale.
Magistrate Lisah Mutendereki found Bwanya not guilty of lying under oath, forcing payment, and making false papers. She pointed out problems with how the case was brought to court. She said lawyers must follow what their clients ask them to do, and charging them for doing their work would harm justice.
The trouble began in 2009. Former Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission leader Farai Olivia Mashonganyika bought land plot 91 in Carrick Creagh Estate. She paid $10,000 in building fees to Arosume Property Development and $4,000 for the land itself through the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works...
Court Gives Life Terms to Two Killers.
A court sent two men to jail for life yesterday after they killed two people in Mbizo last May. Judge Pisirai Kwenda gave the harsh prison terms to Edson Matarise and Nyashadzashe Nyahuma.
The judge found them guilty of planned killings near a school at night. The men waited to hurt people walking home. They killed Lovemore Marume and Chipo Gobiye at Ruvimbo Primary School.
Judge Kwenda heard the case in Gokwe. He let a third man, Edmore Mpande, go free. The judge said the killers meant to take lives. He said they should stay in jail forever to keep others safe.
"These were awful deaths," Judge Kwenda said. "If we still had death rules, this case would need them. We must keep these men away...
Court Says Cities Must Ask Judges Before Taking Homes.
Zimbabwe's highest court made a strong rule yesterday about houses. No city can tear down homes without first going to court. The judges said this helps keep people safe from quick house removals.
The case started in 2020 when a group from Chitungwira asked the court to examine old rules. These rules let cities knock down homes without first asking judges.
Judge Bharat Patel wrote the decision with six other judges. They all agreed that the old rules went against basic rights. The law must change to ensure homeowners can tell their side before any action is taken.
"Cities cannot just remove people from their homes," Judge Patel said. "They must follow fair steps." He added that...
