Everson Chatambudza is the chairman of Yadah Stars Football Club and a lawyer in Harare. Prophet Walter Magaya is the president of the same club. Magaya wants to run for president of ZIFA, Zimbabwe's soccer association.
But there is a problem. The rules say that candidates for ZIFA president must have passed at least five O Level exams. Magaya did not give ZIFA proof that he passed these exams, so he was not allowed to run for president.
Magaya is unhappy about this rule. He went to the High Court to try to stop the ZIFA elections. He wants the court to wait until his appeal is heard. Magaya also complained to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland.
Chatambudza's law firm is representing Magaya in court, but some people...
Most people in Harare use buses and vans called kombis to get to work and school. These kombis are owned by private companies, not the government. The government wants to ensure that the kombis are safe and easy to use, so it has rules that kombi owners must follow.
The police are checking that kombis have the right paperwork, including licenses, insurance, and permits. Many kombis are not following all the rules, and their owners need to fix this problem soon.
The city government is supposed to manage the terminuses and ranks where people get on and off the kombis. Touts bother passengers at these places, and there is a lot of trash around.
The police and kombi owners want to work together to improve things. They want the terminuses...
The government of Zimbabwe is taking a big step to help farmers. They will give them special papers called title deeds, which show that a farmer can use a piece of land.
With a title deed, farmers can go to a bank and use the title deed to get a loan. The loan gives them money to improve their farms, buy machines and supplies, and grow more crops.
Banks are careful about giving out loans. They want to ensure farmers can pay the money back, so they will look for farmers who know how to run a farm well.
If a farmer can't pay back the loan, the bank needs to get its money back. Usually, they would sell the land the farmer used to secure the loan. But in Zimbabwe, the government still owns all the land. They are in charge of deciding who...

A woman charged with moving drugs comes back to The Gambia this weekend. Nadine Ismael De Gouveira Pareira left for Portugal last month. She needs to face a judge in Banjul's High Court.
