In a recent ruling, Zimbabwe's High Court blocked Sengezo Tshabangu from changing the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party's leadership in Parliament. Tshabangu is the CCC's secretary-general.
Justice Neville Wamambo agreed with Professor Welshman Ncube, the acting president of the CCC. Prof Ncube had asked the court to stop Tshabangu's actions.
Tshabangu had tried to remove some CCC members from important roles in Parliament and named Nonhlanhla Mlotshwa the party's chief whip.
But Justice Wamambo said these moves broke the rules. He said they were basically the same as recalling the members, which another judge had already banned.
The court also found that the role of chief whip is not allowed under Zimbabwe's Constitution...

The opposition in Mozambique is causing unrest after losing the recent election. This unrest has disrupted important trade routes and energy exports to nearby countries. It's time for the opposition to accept the election results and restore peace.

SADC leaders recently met to discuss the...
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has a new plan to help the economy. It's called the Targeted Finance Facility, or TFF for short.
Banks can borrow money from the central bank at a 20% interest rate and lend it to their customers. However, they can't charge more than 30% interest.
This 30% rate is lower than what banks usually charge. The central bank wants to ensure that farmers, factories, and mines can get the money they need. The economy is expected to grow by 6% in 2025, and lending to these key areas will help make that happen.
The loans must be paid back within 270 days. People can borrow a special currency called Zimbabwe Gold and pay it back using that same currency or regular foreign money.
The central bank has rules to keep...

Small farmers play a big part in Zimbabwe's farming. They grow a lot of the country's crops.

If the weather stays good, tobacco farmers could grow close to 300 million kilograms this year. That's their goal. The government is letting farmers plant tobacco later if they need rain to grow...

New Law Sets Jail Time for Late Mining Payments in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe just made it clear: Pay your mining fees on time, or face jail. The new Finance Act warns mining firms to hand over royalties when due.
Late payers could spend up to six months behind bars. They must also pay extra fees that grow each day they miss the deadline. The finance minister picks how much extra they must pay.
The tax office can give more time if needed. But anyone who skips payments without a good reason faces trouble. The rules say miners must pay with both local money and some of the minerals they dig up.
The tax chief will tell late payers to fix the problem fast. If they wait more than a week, they start paying $30 each day. This goes on for about...
