A court case happened in Masvingo about child support money. Energy Mutodi, who works as a Member of Parliament, businessman, and lawyer, said he would pay $30 each month for his baby. His former wife wanted much more - she asked for $1,500 monthly for their six-month-old child.
The court listened to both sides. Polite Dhiyo, the mother, told them she had been married to Mutodi under local customs before they split up. She said he hadn't helped pay for the baby since it was born during their marriage.
Mutodi explained he couldn't pay much because he didn't make enough money. He said he takes care of seven other children, and one goes to NUST university. He showed papers saying he only made about $40 each month after paying his bills...
Zimbabweans were really upset yesterday when they wanted to travel for the holidays. That's because most bus companies raised their prices by more than 50%. They did this to make more money since lots of people want to travel right now.
The economy in Zimbabwe is doing pretty badly these days. Their money, called the Zimbabwe Gold or ZiG, isn't worth as much as it used to be. Back in April, one US dollar was equal to about 13 ZiG. But now in December, it takes almost 26 ZiG to get one US dollar.
This means that the ZiG has lost nearly half its value in just a few months. And that's making prices go up for everything, even though most people aren't getting paid any more than before.
For example, a bus ride from Harare to a town called...
Zimbabwe wants to make its prisons better. The government plans to let some people out early if they show good behavior. This is called parole. They're changing old rules to make this work.
The Justice Ministry teams up with prison leaders to make these changes. They follow a new law about prisons. President Mnangagwa backs this plan. He told prison workers they'll get help to do their jobs well.
The old way focused on punishment. The new way helps people learn better ways to live. They want people to do well when they leave prison. The law says a special group called the State Parole Board can let people out early.
Prisoners need to show they're ready to leave. They must be good, follow rules, and work hard in prison. The board...
Police are looking for eight people who took gold at a Bindura mine. The thieves had a gun. They hurt a guard and broke into a room where special carbon holds gold. They stole eleven bags of this gold-filled carbon. Each bag weighed 50kgs. The police say this happened on December 22, 2024. The stolen stuff was worth $36,000. They want anyone who knows something to tell the police.
The thieves didn't steal pure gold. They took carbon that had gold stuck to it. Here's what that means: When miners dig up gold, it mixes with lots of other stuff in the ground. Miners can't just pick up gold pieces. They need help to get the gold out.
Miners use special carbon to catch gold. This carbon works like a sponge. It grabs tiny bits of gold from...
People in Mozambique are angry and protesting again. The big court said the ruling party's man, Daniel Chapo, won the October vote. Many think the vote wasn't fair.
When they first shared who won, deadly fights broke out. The second-place winner, Venâncio Mondlane, told his friends to protest. He thinks someone cheated in the vote.
On Monday, crowds filled the streets. They yelled Mondlane's name and lit fires. They blocked roads with stuff and threw rocks at police. The police shot tear gas back at them.
Mondlane ran away from Mozambique. He left after bad people killed two of his helpers in October. The police scared him, he said. He talked on the internet and warned more people might rise up if they don't change who won.

A rich group is causing trouble in Zanu PF. People say this group puts money into different sides of the party. They care more about getting rich than helping old party friends.
Someone close to the party said bad people want to hurt those who support Mnangagwa. These bad people make fights that could break up the party.
A big WhatsApp group called Dare Rezvoto has over 1,000 Mnangagwa fans. Jones Musara leads a group called Varakashi 4ED. He wrote that after Mnangagwa's two terms end, his loyal friends will still cry about not getting help. He learned that many people called Lacoste don't help others grow. They just think about themselves.
People ask where all the strong supporters went. They used to say they'd never leave...
A travel company called Five Bulls Leisure got into big trouble. They took money from a family in Harare but didn't book their Christmas holiday. The company's leader, Tichatonga Mudzonga, and worker Eve Tsvangira went to court. They had to pay $200 each to stay out of jail until January 27.
The story started when a person saw Five Bulls' ad on Facebook. The ad said they help people book cruise ships, flights, and hotels in Durban. The person went to their office at Longcheng Plaza. They wanted to plan a trip for eight people. The cruise would go from Durban through Mozambique to Japan.
Mudzonga and Tsvangira told them it would cost $12,377 for the cruise. The flights would cost another $4,987. The person paid all the money, $17,364...
Temba Mliswa talked to President Mnangagwa about a big problem. He said local leaders were making people pay for free farm supplies. These supplies came from the president. The farmers need these supplies badly because the weather has been very dry.
The situation has turned bad for the farmers. They have to sell some of their farm supplies just to pay for them. This beats the point of getting free help in the first place.
Mliswa shared this news at a special road opening. The new road runs between Mhandamabwe and Shurugwi. It spans 43 kilometers. Mliswa felt thankful about the new road. He gave President Mnangagwa 16 cows to show his thanks.
He told the president that Shurugwi leaders were doing wrong things. They made farmers pay to...
Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa gave 1,000 goats to young women in Masvingo. She leads the Agric4She group and wants to help rural people make money and become stronger. She thinks goats are great because they can live almost anywhere and cost less than other farm animals.
She told the young women to share these goats with people who need help. This means giving goats to older folks, people with disabilities, widows, and kids who run their homes alone. She believes everyone should get a chance to do well.
The First Lady helps women make money in good ways. She wants them to stay away from bad choices like selling their bodies or using drugs. She gave them many farming supplies too. These included special plant food, seeds for corn and other...
