ZANU PF wants expats to pay bills and shill for their global image. Munyaradzi Machacha told a virtual crowd in Beijing that Zimbabweans living abroad are vital for economic survival. The ruling party sees these remote citizens as wallets capable of funding national stability via remittances sent to families.
He claims sending cash helps keep small businesses alive during tough times while improving household welfare. The commissar insists these individuals must act as frontline marketers selling party propaganda overseas. He wants them to push narratives about reform or progress to counter negative stories hurting the reputation of the state.

School principals scamming parents just got put on notice by the feds. Education boss Torerayi Moyo warned headmasters to stop rejecting ZiG currency or inventing fake exchange rates for tuition payments. He threatened strict punishment for anyone forcing families to buy overpriced uniforms directly from the institution instead of cheaper local shops.
Administrators dealing with storm damage need to beg the Civil Protection department for help immediately. Heavy rains wrecked thirty-seven facilities across the nation, with Masvingo taking the hardest hits. Officials promised to supply tents as temporary classrooms so learning starts on schedule regardless of broken roofs.
Midlands and Mashonaland Central recorded six battered...
Rugby legend Siya Kolisi just stamped his passport in Zimbabwe to flex its tourism status. The Springboks captain started his trip by checking out Victoria Falls before heading over to Harare.

Deputy Minister Tongai Mnangagwa linked up with the athlete at La Parada to exchange pleasantries. This government official handed over some national fabric and branded souvenirs to welcome their celebrity guest. Kolisi reportedly accepted these gifts happily while mingling with locals inside the capital city to experience authentic hospitality.

Zimbabwe just leveled up the HIV fight with a game-changing preventative injection rollout. Authorities plan to distribute Lenacapavir across twelve critical zones, like Harare and Bulawayo, to block transmission. This long-acting shot guards against infection without forcing individuals to swallow daily tablets.
Dr Aspect Maunganidze confirmed that initial pilot sites include places like Gweru or Masvingo alongside Mutare and Chitungwiza. The program targets hotspots such as Karoi and Mazowe to curb transmission rates. Tsholotsho and Kwekwe join Shamva and Gwanda on the roster, receiving early access.

Fourteen kids got busted after terrorizing Bulawayo neighborhoods for months, stealing cash and gadgets. Police grabbed the group ranging from eleven to seventeen years old, following a massive crime wave hitting Tshabalala and Nkulumane. Inspector Nomalanga Msebele notes these minors swiped goods worth almost nine thousand dollars alongside foreign currency.
Detectives launched investigations once break-ins spiked significantly late last year. Thieves smashed doors to grab loot like laptops or cell phones. One specific heist involved snatching over fifteen hundred dollars while residents slept unaware. Continual raids left locals panicking as the crew struck repeatedly without getting caught initially.
Robberies intensified during...
Another massive L for the state pension fund just dropped after a judge tossed their desperate attempt to recover millions. The High Court rejected a bid by the National Social Security Authority to void a hefty software contract worth over ten million dollars with Twenty-Third Century Systems because Justice Jacob Manzunzu ruled they filed the paperwork in the wrong building. He insisted that disputes involving government tender irregularities belong strictly in the Administrative Court rather than his jurisdiction.
This whole mess started back in 2013 when the pension authority needed fresh digital tools to manage databases for contributors. They skipped a public search and handpicked this local firm through a private selection...
Rain gods finally smiled on the Midlands while the state delivered supplies on time. Local farmers planted maize early to catch consistent showers. The Agricultural and Rural Development Authority targets 7,000 hectares of corn alongside 7,500 hectares of sorghum. They expect these fields to pump out 35,000 tonnes of yellow grain and 22,500 tonnes of sorghum to fill the strategic reserve.
Busiso Mavankeni, the provincial director, praised growers for listening to expert guidance during land prep. She noted that irrigation users look solid but warned everyone to plant sunflower seeds immediately. Keeping drainage clear prevents waterlogging, while minimum tillage helps soil drink up moisture.
She also reminded ranchers to dip livestock...
Zimbabwe finally remembers local government exists, with new laws coming. President Mnangagwa aims to shift power away from the center, utilizing the Devolution Bill. This legislation promises to fix service delivery while boosting development across the country. Attorney-General Virginia Mabiza stated her team wraps up the framework following heavy delays.
The draft initially missed targets because stakeholders kept raising major concerns during consultations. Officials claim they will finish the paperwork soon to meet the legislative agenda set previously. Traditional leaders and various ministries have been arguing over fine print to ensure everything aligns with the Constitution.
These reforms fall under the National Development...
Tobacco farmers are swapping firewood for cheap coal to stop destroying local forests. The Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board negotiated a deal offering fuel at 45 bucks per tonne in Hwange or 110 bucks inside Harare, excluding tax. Officials admit coal is dirty but insist it saves trees while boosting productivity.
Paul Zakariya from the Zimbabwe Farmers Union supports the switch because it protects indigenous woodlands. He suggests fixing the railway system to bring supplies closer to farms since transportation remains a hurdle. Sidings would slash costs further and make this alternative energy source viable for everyone.
George Seremwe of the Zimbabwe Tobacco Growers Association believes this helps profitability through lowering...
