Angeline Gata believes investing in young athletes creates excellence, discipline, and teamwork. She serves as both the Deputy Minister of Primary and Secondary Education and as a Member of the House of Assembly for the Mutema-Musikavanhu area in Chipinge district. Gata shared these thoughts yesterday at Kondo Primary School during children's athletic games for those under 10 years old.
The Child Sports Program uses sports to help kids grow in all ways from their early years. This helps fight drug problems across the country. During her talk, Gata emphasized how important it is to support young sports talent early. She said this builds not just physical health but also helps kids feel confident and connected to their community.

Bulawayo City Council decided against tough action on street vendors after the Government told them to clear the streets within 48 hours. Deputy Mayor Edwin Ndlovu explained they want to move vendors to proper spots first before making anyone leave. The city already started this process before the government deadline came down. They plan to transfer all sellers from 5th Avenue and other places to legal trading areas like Bakta's and Egodini.
City leaders have almost finished moving registered vendors to official spots built by the council. They will team up with Zimbabwe police later to enforce rules since municipal officers can't arrest people. Numbers show most vendors lack proper permits to sell goods legally. Out of 3,416 total...
Just after Zanele Khumalo became the Regent Chief Mabhikwa amid grand celebrations, she faced new problems. Her family members—32 of them—went to the High Court, saying she should not have the job. Zanele, who has two children and lives with her husband, stepped into her late brother's role after Vusumuzi Khumalo died in a car crash on Bulawayo-Victoria Falls Road back in 2022. She must serve nine years until young Makhosemvelo Khumalo grows up enough to take over as the real chief.
People celebrated with music and dancing when Zanele started her new job Friday. But these happy events happened despite serious legal questions about who should really lead as the Mabhikwa chief. Several Khumalo family groups say her appointment breaks the...
Experts agree President Mnangagwa has kept Zimbabwe moving toward the goals that fighters died for during the freedom wars before 1980. The country marks 45 years free from colonial rule next month with big parties planned in Nembudziya, Gokwe. The celebration theme focuses on sharing power with local areas as everyone works together for better lives by 2030. This matches how Mnangagwa wants every part of Zimbabwe to grow, not just big cities.
Political expert Obert Gutu points out this anniversary matters because Zimbabwe has almost reached five decades since breaking free from ninety years of racist rule. He believes the armed struggle that brought freedom aimed for a fair government where most citizens have an equal say. The...
Gas stations across Bulawayo have started shutting down at night because armed gangs keep robbing them. These criminals began hitting fuel businesses last year and keep stealing large amounts of foreign money. Station owners and workers feel scared as these dangerous attacks hurt their businesses and stop them from serving customers who need fuel.
Just last Tuesday night, robbers stole US$2,374 plus ZAR115,235 from a station in the Kelvin industrial area. Police Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the station owner saw everything happen from his Toyota Hilux parked nearby. The gang noticed him watching them attack his staff. They fired guns into the air to scare him away from helping his employees.
The armed men forced all workers to lay...

Night guards caught a thief red-handed stealing copper cables in Hatfield this past weekend. The 29-year-old man later told police someone promised him $25 for the job. He planned to spend $20 on his apartment rent and put $5 toward his kid's school bills. His midnight scheme fell apart fast when local security spotted him sneaking around.
The action happened early Sunday morning, around 2 a.m., on St Andrews Road. Security guards noticed Erick Matuzhayi hiding near St Andrews Close, carrying a big sack. They checked closer and found TelOne copper wires inside the bag. Matuzhayi tried running away when he saw the guards coming toward him.
His escape attempt failed quickly. The determined guards chased him down and tackled him after a...
Police arrested a thirty-year-old man at a Bulawayo hotel for having dangerous drugs last week. Ishamael Dandadzi from Woodlands appeared before Magistrate Maxwell Ncube on Thursday after detectives caught him with marijuana and cough medicine. Authorities acted on a tip about Dandadzi keeping illegal substances at the hotel. The magistrate kept him locked up until March 18, when they will decide about bail.

Police chased him until he finally stopped in the Ascot area. They searched his vehicle and found a bunch of illegal stuff hidden inside...
