Zimbabwe plays a big role in Africa freedom
Zimbabwe stands at the heart of African freedom history according to East African Community Executive Secretary Veronica Nduva.

Her visit brought attention to how Zimbabwe helped lead the way when African nations fought to break free from colonial rule. She pointed out that any talk about freedom fighters across Africa must include Zimbabwe. The...

The seven victims from the Chipinge farm dam breach have all been buried after search teams found the last two missing bodies, according to William Mashava, District Development Coordinator.

The details for this relocation remain under development as authorities work through safety options. They hope these steps...

House buying made easy in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's Ministry of National Housing and Social Amenities has explained how you can buy a house in the country. The steps change based on who sells the property - it might be a person, local government, business, or national government. Everyone needs to know these basic steps before they start looking for their next home. When you want to buy a house, first make sure the seller actually has title deeds in their name.

Look carefully at where the house is located, what price they're asking, and how you'll need to pay for it. The next important step involves checking legal details. Head to the Deeds Registry Office and...

Zimbabwe gears up for a 36-month road rebuild
Transport Minister Felix Mhona talked about fixing the damaged Beitbridge-Bulawayo-Victoria Falls Road through a team-up between public agencies and private companies. He shared this news at a media event held Monday in Harare. The plan needs several steps first, like checking if the project makes financial sense. Mhona asked people to wait patiently since the road repairs might take three years to finish. Road projects need lots of money, with each kilometer costing around one million US dollars to rebuild completely. Zimbabwe has almost 90,000 kilometers of roads throughout the country, including dirt paths in rural areas. The government would typically ask banks for loans with good terms to pay for these big projects. However...
