The boss of Victoria Falls city got in trouble. His name is Ronnie Dube. The mayor kicked him out of his job on December 2. But the big leaders in charge say he needs to come back.
Mayor Prince Moyo said Dube did bad things. He thought Dube gave away land he wasn't allowed to give. Other city leaders agreed with the mayor and backed his choice.
Daniel Garwe runs all the cities in Zimbabwe. He told the mayor he was wrong. He said they didn't follow the right steps when they fired Dube. He wants them to bring Dube back to work.
The city leaders tried to fight back. They had a meeting and said they still wanted Dube gone. Garwe called them to come see him in the big city, Harare. He told them again - Dube must come back.
They tried to...
MPs were upset about money issues. They said they might not approve the country's budget. But Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube fixed things by giving them more money and promising them places to live.
One MP from Marondera, Caston Matewu, talked about their problems. He said hotels kept kicking MPs out because their bills weren't paid. This made the MPs look bad.
Minister Ncube stepped up with extra cash. He added ZiG378 million for MPs' local work funds. He gave ZiG50 million for office stuff. The MPs also got ZiG72 million for gas money.
The minister didn't stop there. He put aside ZiG250 million for new cars. He added another ZiG200 million for MPs' local offices and other needs.
The best part for the MPs came last. Ncube said he...
There's drama in Zimbabwe's ruling party ZANU PF about a new slogan. People in Masvingo Province started saying "2030 VaMnangagwa vanenge vachipo." This means Mnangagwa will still be around in 2030. But not everyone agrees with it.
The trouble started when John Paradza kicked out Brighton Mushekwa from the party. Mushekwa works as a local leader in Bikita. Paradza was mad because Mushekwa didn't want to say the new slogan. Mushekwa thinks no one should have to say it. He says the party's top group hasn't approved it yet.
People are saying Mushekwa supports Vice President Chiwenga instead of President Mnangagwa. They think he wants Chiwenga to become president in 2028. But Mushekwa says that's not true. He was at school when he heard...
The government has started checking homes to find hidden illegal goods. They want to stop people from bringing these items into the country during Christmas time.
Anyone caught keeping smuggled stuff will go to jail with no way to pay and get out. The country loses about one billion US dollars each year because people sneak things across the borders.
Many people from Zimbabwe come home during Christmas and New Year. They often bring things from South Africa and nearby countries without telling anyone.
Mr. Tafadzwa Muguti told news people that teams will watch the borders and roads. He leads the President's office and wants to catch people who bring in illegal goods. These teams will also look inside stores and shops to find hidden...
The MPs are pretty upset about not getting enough money from the government. They're saying it's making it really hard for them to do their jobs and help the people they represent. Some of them are even being called "Members of Problems" now instead of real representatives.
One big issue is something called the Constituency Development Fund or CDF. It's money that's supposed to go to each MP to use in their area, but it hasn't been given out since 2022. The people back home are telling the MPs they won't vote for them again because they haven't done anything good with the money.
The MPs are struggling personally too. A lot of them are wearing second-hand clothes because they can't afford new ones. Even the people who work in...
Okay, let me break this down for you. There's this truck driver named Gift Molai. He's married to a woman named Precious Hobwana. They've got three kids together. But recently, there's been some major drama in their marriage.
See, Gift has this nephew named Tatenda Chikengezha. Tatenda is only 23 and still single. But he seemed to be really into Precious, Gift's wife. He was always coming over to their house to visit.
At some point, Precious got fed up. She accused Gift of cheating on her, even though he says he didn't. She moved out, took the kids, and grabbed all their stuff. She only left the bed behind. Then she went and gave Gift a "divorce token" in front of her uncle.
Gift wanted to see his children, so he went to visit them...
President Mnangagwa isn't happy with some of his ministers and senior officials. He called them out for skipping important Cabinet meetings and committees. He said they need to get their act together or face the consequences.
The President made it clear that Cabinet meetings should be their top priority. He knows most ministers put the country first, but he's worried about the ones who don't show up. It's a big problem.
President Mnangagwa won't stand for junior officials being sent to just sit in meetings either. He said that's like not doing their job at all. Only directors or higher-ups should go if the Permanent Secretaries can't make it.
He told the Chief Secretary, Dr. Martin Rushwaya, to keep a close eye on who attends the...
Patricia Dube, a 39-year-old woman who lives in Hwange, Zimbabwe, just got in big trouble. She's going to jail for three years. Why? Well, her neighbor who lives in South Africa trusted Patricia to keep almost $10,000 safe for her. But Patricia spent all that money instead of keeping it safe like she promised.
The neighbor is a 24-year-old woman named Sympathy Moyo. Sympathy does beauty treatments in South Africa. She would send stuff back to Zimbabwe for Patricia to sell. Then Patricia was supposed to hold on to the money Sympathy made. Sometimes Sympathy would even send cash right to Patricia to keep safe too. This went on from March 2022 to December 2023. In total, Patricia got $10,110 of Sympathy's money to watch over.
But it...
The President of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is getting a big honor. They're going to name a major road interchange after him. It used to be called the Mbudzi Interchange, but soon it will be known as the Trabablas Interchange. "Trabablas" was President Mnangagwa's code name during the war for Zimbabwe's independence.
The government wants to recognize all the good development work the President has been doing. That's why they're giving the interchange his name. It's almost finished being built.
The Mbudzi Roundabout used to be a huge problem. It always had terrible traffic jams, especially when a lot of people were going to and from work. Drivers had a really hard time getting through that roundabout.
President Mnangagwa saw how...
