Zimbabwe Party Members Want Leader to Stay Past 2028.
More and more local groups want President Mnangagwa to continue running Zimbabwe after his term ends. They say he improves the country.
Party chiefs from different parts of Zimbabwe praise his work, pointing to new roads, buildings, and business growth. Leaders in Manicaland and Matabeleland South just joined others in asking him to stay longer.
These groups meet often to discuss party plans. At a big meeting last year, they all agreed to ask Mnangagwa to stay past 2028 and finish his plans for the country by 2030.
"We must tell everyone about this choice," said Tawanda Mukodza, who leads the party in Manicaland. The party shares these ideas at small meetings across Zimbabwe...
Zimbabwe's Capital Signs Deal for Better Water Supply.
Harare struck a big deal yesterday to fix its water problems. The city will get a new water plant and smart meters to better serve its people.
Four groups joined hands in this plan. The city council, two companies, and Zimbabwe's local government all signed up to help. They met in Harare to make it official.
"People need water," said Local Government Minister Daniel Garwe. We heard their calls, and we're taking action." He shared that President Mnangagwa wants top services for everyone by 2030.

Zimbabwe's Leader Sends Students Off to Algeria with High Hopes.
President Mnangagwa met with five students at his home in Harare. He gave them a strong message about their duty to Zimbabwe as they headed to Algeria for college.
The students earned rare spots in an exchange program between the two nations. They will study science, technology, and medicine—skills Zimbabwe needs to grow stronger.
"You stand for our country when you go there," Mnangagwa told them at State House. "These changes matter a lot for growing countries like ours."
The lucky students are Natasha Deni, Bukhosi Maphosa, Albert Jakarasi, Melogina Mano, and Tinovimbanashe Kamutero. The President spoke warmly but firmly about their role as Zimbabwe's face abroad...
Namibian Party Joins Court Fight Over Election Results.
The Landless People's Movement wants to team up with another party in court. They hope to challenge the recent National Assembly election results.
The movement agrees with the Independent Patriots for Change's claims that the election broke the law. However, it also wants to point out other problems, including how President Nangolo Mbumba and election officials used their power when they added extra voting days.
"This puts our new National Assembly at risk," said LPM leader Bernadus Swartbooi. He signed a statement about his worries on Friday.
Swartbooi said his party wants to work with the IPC but might keep fighting even if the IPC loses. Both cases deal with the same issues...
Namibian Roads Authority Faces N$7.8 Million Payout Decision.
The Roads Authority board must decide whether to pay N$7.8 million to 28 managers after a recent ruling. The demand started at N$28 million, but the labor office cut it down.
The managers felt left out when their pay wasn't raised with others back in 2014. They waited until 2019 to take their case to the labor office.
Chief Conrad Lutombi says they planned to pay the managers all along. Their math showed they owed about N$8 million. The managers wanted much more money at first.
"We can pay if the board agrees," Lutombi said. "The N$7.8 million is much less than what they first asked for."
Three different boards turned down the N$28 million request. Lutombi can't say when...
The people of Uis are upset with their chief, Sagarias Seibeb. They say he is not helping the community, and they want him to step down so they can pick a new leader.
The community members claim Seibeb and his family are making deals with Chinese companies. They say these deals only benefit Seibeb, not the people. The community lives in poverty while Seibeb gets richer, they claim.
The people have been protesting at the traditional authority's office. They want to meet with Seibeb, but he is nowhere to be found. Instead, he sent the police to arrest one of the protest leaders.
Some people in Uis also feel left out of the green hydrogen project. They say the traditional authority gave away land without talking to the community first...
Namibian lawmakers are unsure about a deal between their country and Germany. The deal is about payments for a genocide that happened over 100 years ago. Germany committed violent acts against two ethnic groups in Namibia, the Nama and Ovaherero people.
Some members of Namibia's parliament want to reject the current deal. They say the €1.1 billion payment from Germany is not enough. They also want Nama and Ovaherero people living outside Namibia to benefit from the money.
Lawmakers Mike Kavekotora and Joseph Kauandenge are not happy with the deal. They say it does not address the real damage Germany caused. Kavekotora believes Namibia's government has not done a good job. Kauandenge wants Germany to admit that its actions were...
The Landless People's Movement (LPM) has responded strongly to criticism from Swapo secretary general Sophia Shaningwa. Shaningwa called the LPM's court case challenging the results of last year's elections a "wild fishing expedition." She said there was no proof the elections were fraudulent, as the LPM claims.
Ivan Skrywer from the LPM fired back at Shaningwa. He said she was acting like a "wannabe relevant drama queen." Skrywer suggested Shaningwa didn't understand the complex legal issues involved. "I bet she didn't even read the affidavits," he said.
The LPM has joined forces with the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) in the court case. They aim to prove that officials' actions during the elections were unlawful and...
