He promised harsh actions against anyone who protested against the...
CIO Eyes War Vet Leader as Drama Heats Up in Zim

Audit Manager Tells All on Mayors D400K Imprest
Yesterday at the Local Government Commission of Inquiry, BCC audit manager Abdoulie J Corr claimed the mayor had failed to account for D400,000 in advance funds. He explained these allegations came from a 2019 internal audit report that showed this unretired imprest. When he raised concerns about this money with CEO Mustapha Batchilly, the CEO reportedly asked him to remove this information from financial records completely. Corr testified he wouldn't follow these instructions because doing that would break the professional rules governing his position. He added that he and several coworkers who attempted to tell the mayor the truth about financial matters faced accusations from her adviser of attempting to stage a coup against her...
BIDF Helps Needy Families During Ramadan
The Bakau Islamic Development Foundation handed out food to many families who needed help in Bakau during Ramadan. These families received rice, sugar, cooking oil, and other basic items they required. This caring action fits with how BIDF keeps helping vulnerable groups around its area. The foundation strongly believes in supporting social welfare. Nuha Touray is the president of the foundation. He discussed why giving matters, especially during the holy month when kind acts mean even more to Muslims. "Ramadan makes us think about others, feel compassion, and share what we have. We ask all wealthy people and businesses to embrace giving. Having money matters less than wanting to help those with less," Touray explained. He mentioned...
Gambia Updates Drought Insurance for 2025
The National Disaster Management Agency recently teamed up with several partners for a five-day meeting. They came together at Kololi's Senegambia Beach Hotel to look over drought insurance plans for farmers next year. This review helps protect both vulnerable people and the money already put into farming. The main goal remains to make sure everyone has enough food. Pa Ousman Jarju from ARC-Gambia talked about where the money comes from. Four big groups fund the program: the Green Climate Fund, the African Development Bank, the World Food Programme, and the African Risk Capacity. The program focuses on three main areas—preparing for risks, cutting down risks, and transferring risks. ARC works mostly on that last part, especially in...

ZRP says protest planning is not their gig
Police Commissioner-General Stephen Mutamba stated clearly that he lacks the power to allow or stop peaceful protests across Zimbabwe. He sent this message after the "Concerned Citizens of Zimbabwe" told him they planned nationwide protests on Thursday. These citizens want to demonstrate because President Emmerson Mnangagwa hasn't fixed the country's ongoing money problems. The group aims to take action on March 20, 2025. Mutamba wrote back in a letter dated March 18, 2025, which appeared on the police force's X account. He explained the protest group sent their notice to the wrong office. The letter said he received their message on March 14 at 3:37 PM. After reading it carefully, he noticed they meant to inform the Joint Operations...
Chivayo offers 100k reward for catching farm robbers
Wicknell Chivayo wants to pay $100,000 to anyone who helps catch the 20 robbers who hit his in-laws' farm. These thieves struck the Alpha and Omega Farm in Marondera early Tuesday morning around 1 AM. During the raid, they took $74,100 cash, grabbed a pistol, stole three phones, and snatched other valuable items. The gang roughed up security guards and family members at the farm. The family gave up their money after they realized they had no way out. Many people think part of the stolen cash came from the bride price Chivayo recently paid for his wife. The robbery might have happened because the ceremony appeared all over social media, catching the attention of these criminals. Chivayo shared news about this robbery on his social...
