Rick Ross eyes Harare return with Scott-backed show
The biggest boss is officially spinning the block on Zimbabwe for a second paycheck. Rick Ross uploaded a clip from Las Vegas, confirming he plans to touch down in Harare.

It marks a comeback for Ricky Rozay, after he previously hit the stage at the Harare International Conference Centre back in 2022. Footage surfaced on X through handles like DandaroOnline, before spreading everywhere else. Internet users are losing their minds over the rare appearance, since big hip hop names hardly ever visit...
Zim urged to merge APRM and NEPAD for stronger governance link
Bureaucrats love inventing fresh alphabet soup to justify endless meetings about governance. Acting Chief Secretary Willard Manungo demanded that the African Peer Review Mechanism merge processes with the New Partnership for Africa’s Development to supposedly enhance operational coherence. He announced this directive during a validation workshop in Masvingo while arguing that creating NEPAD-APRM Zimbabwe would link governance issues directly to sustainable development frameworks. A continental delegation led by Ambassador Aly El Hefny visited previously to conduct a targeted review, which officials are currently scrutinizing. Manungo insists this alignment fits perfectly with Vision 2030 and the National Development Strategy 2 to...
Manicaland schools in crisis as headless institutions face exams
Manicaland schools are spiraling into chaos as headless institutions face a looming exam disaster. Dozens of learning centers in Mutare and Makoni districts operate without substantive leadership while students prepare for Heritage-based Curriculum tests. The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education scrambled to advertise these vacancies after realizing the stability gap threatens academic performance. John Cowie Primary in Rusape has remained leaderless for over a year after Garikai Nyawo passed away. Sources claim officials are blocking the second-best candidate while trying to beg the first choice, who rejected the job for a Roman Catholic post in Nyanga. This administrative mess leaves the school paralyzed. Mavhudzi High...
Nyaradzo mix-up leaves family burying the wrong body in Chipinge
A funeral home accidentally swapped bodies and gaslit grieving relatives about complexion changes. Nyaradzo Funeral Services in Mutare faces severe backlash after burying the wrong corpse. The Muzwati family unknowingly interred centenarian Mbuya Eddina Gwavava Mufambi instead of their eighty-five-year-old matriarch Mbuya Nerita Muyambo. Staff allegedly dismissed concerns regarding the deceased's appearance, blaming the mortuary makeup. The error surfaced when Gwavava's kin rejected the body presented to them, realizing it belonged to someone else. This revelation forced Nyaradzo to admit that their hearse driver and mortician loaded the wrong remains before transporting them to Checheche Growth Point for the ceremony. Politician...

Zim govt slashes luxury cars, foreign trips to fund key services
Politicians finally admitted that buying fancy cars looks terrible while the economy struggles. Zimbabwean authorities decided to slash spending on luxury vehicles and excessive foreign trips to keep the national budget from imploding. This directive falls under the National Development Strategy 2 and seeks to funnel cash into healthcare or education instead of funding joyrides. Policy makers claim these expenses hurt the treasury and divert funds from real priorities like social services. New rules dictate that the state will only purchase automobiles absolutely needed for work. Officials can only fly abroad if the journey brings tangible benefits to the country. President Mnangagwa previously told his cabinet that ministers and...
Zim readies for U19 Cricket World Cup, eyes global spotlight
Acting President Chiwenga wants the country to milk every ounce of profit from hosting global cricket. He received the Under-Nineteen trophy in Harare while hyping up the matches shared with co-host Namibia. Officials hope this tournament creates actual career paths for youth instead of just being a fleeting distraction. Zimbabwe grabbed twenty-five games, including the semifinals and final, while leaving sixteen for the neighbors. The administration views sport as a serious marketing tool to elevate its global standing. They expect this exposure to ignite a fire for excellence among local kids. Chiwenga argued that this event kickstarts a growth trajectory involving better facilities and coaching systems. He claimed the legacy will...
ZANU-PF Manicaland rolls out empowerment funds, builds offices
Manicaland politicians started the year throwing cash at voters to secure power until 2030. Provincial Chairman Tawanda Mukodza confirmed they are dropping twenty-five grand into every constituency through the Presidential Constituency Empowerment Fund. This cash injection targets districts like Buhera and Chimanimani while pushing Resolution Number One to keep the current leader in charge. Presidential Special Advisor Paul Tungwarara apparently expedited these payouts to ensure his home turf ate first. Mukodza bragged that Mutare North, West, and South will receive their cut shortly. The goal involves flooding the zone with boreholes and farm inputs to make the party look undeniable. They are also pouring concrete to cement their...
Mushikashika driver meets the family of the man he killed fleeing cops
A pirate taxi driver faced the family of the man he killed while dodging cops. Thompson Zuze admitted he panicked and ran over Blessing Mangezi in the central business district while attempting to flee city enforcement agents. The thirty-two-year-old met grieving relatives at Parirenyatwa Hospital to express regret for the tragedy. Zuze claimed immense pressure drove his reckless actions after losing his Mabvuku route spot. He told the group his spouse recently walked out over poverty, leaving him raising two young kids alone. That stress supposedly caused him to speed away blindly without noticing the victim standing close. Bothwell Nedawa accepted the apology for the clan, yet still demanded answers from municipal authorities...
