Court Awards Woman $32,500 in Zimbabwe Divorce Case.
A Harare court granted Letwin Kadiyo $32,500 in her divorce from Kudakwashe Naison. Justice Emy Tsanga's ruling acknowledged the financial and personal sacrifices made in marriage.

Police Asked to Focus on Major Traffic Risks.
Zimbabwe police received new guidance about traffic stops this week. Officers should target serious safety issues rather than minor equipment violations.

Nyathi praised public support for "No to Mushikashika and Lawlessness on the Roads," the current safety campaign. Only registered commuter...

Zimbabwe's Ruling Party Backs President's Term Extension.
Senior Zanu PF officials backed plans to extend President Mnangagwa's leadership past 2028. The move aims to help him finish plans for national growth by 2030.

Mashonaland East party chairman Daniel Garwe said expelled members cannot block public...
