Turns out a Zacc investigator might have been doing dirty work for that locked-up Italian businessman, Francesco Marconati. The anti-graft commission is now probing one of its own officers, Welemu Adamu, after a woman he arrested filed a complaint accusing him of being on Marconati's payroll.
The complainant, Benardate Mukuku, was previously acquitted in that weird cyanide import case linked to Marconati's mining company. She claims Adamu unlawfully arrested her last year, refusing to listen to her side and insisting she was an "artery" that needed to be cut for Marconati's ex-lover. Her formal letter to Zacc details how the investigator ignored evidence, including a court moment where another Marconati employee admitted the cyanide...
That sketchy Marondera businessman, Francesco Marconati, just lost his bail appeal. The Bulawayo High Court shot it down, agreeing with an Inyathi magistrate that he should stay locked up until his trial for having an illegal firearm. Judge Ngoni Nduna dismissed the appeal, backing the lower court's opinion that letting him out would cause shock and outrage locally due to his apparent habit of committing crimes.
His lawyers tried to argue the state had no real reason to keep him detained, claiming the charges related to old accusations where he was found not guilty. They pushed a narrative about him being a long-term resident with no convictions who provides jobs, even offering to surrender his Italian passport. They also brought up...
Zimbabwe police nabbed four people in separate weed busts, one in Mutawatawa and another in Harare. The arrests netted a 26-year-old man named Norest Shinga and a 41-year-old woman, Rudo Mandebvu, in the first operation. Cops stopped Shinga at Guyu Business Center and found twenty-four plastic packets of dagga hidden in his Shangani bag. He then led them to Mandebvu's place in Pfungwe, where they grabbed another half a sack of the stuff.
In a totally unrelated case, the same day, Harare officers acting on a tip detained two other guys, Amos Ngwangwa and Harmony Gatawa. They found a black plastic bag full of weed in a bedroom at a Zimre Park house. The police statement says they are still investigating, as part of their bigger push...
Another cattle rustler in Zimbabwe just got booked for a long stretch. A Rusape court handed Nyamai Kundishora, a twenty-one-year-old from Chief Makoni's area, a solid nine years in prison for stealing an ox.
The guy's whole operation fell apart in the dumbest way. He nabbed the animal overnight in early November and promptly sold it to a butcher named Mutsavashe Nhiwatiwa for five hundred eighty bucks. The plot twist happened when the actual owner of the ox showed up at that very same abattoir looking for his missing property. Kundishora panicked, tried to run, but was chased down and grabbed by a security guard.
The magistrates' court did not go easy on him, stating that stealing livestock is a major offense that wrecks rural...
Opposition figure Hebert Chamuka, who leads the People's Unity Party, basically said Zimbabwe should just cancel the 2028 elections. He held a press conference in Harare, arguing that voting is pointless because the ruling ZANU-PF party always rigs the results. His solution is to scrap elections entirely and instead form what he calls the Inclusive Government Agenda, a platform meant to unite all political parties, churches, and civic groups.
Chamuka claimed the nation should focus on development instead of holding predetermined votes, demanding that President Emmerson Mnangagwa step down to make way for an inclusive government. His comments weirdly echo recent murmurs from ZANU-PF itself about extending Mnangagwa's term past 2028 for...
Another celebrity family photo drop, this time from Zimbabwean musician Feli Nandi. She posted a portrait with her two kids, a son and a daughter, and of course, people are all about it. The whole thing was staged with a clean studio backdrop, putting her motherhood front and center as a key part of her public image.
In the shot, Nandi anchors the frame wearing a black fit, bold red lipstick, and some major hoop earrings. Her locs are neat, her expression is steady. She has this composed, almost powerful vibe going on. Her son stands by her side in a matching dark outfit with a chain, his hand on her shoulder like a little protector. The daughter is leaning in against her, arms crossed, looking completely relaxed. All three are...
Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo just gave a crazy expensive gift to former TV news anchor Oscar Pambuka: a brand new 2025 Toyota Fortuner and ten thousand dollars cash. Chivayo announced the luxury SUV on social media, calling it a reward for Pambuka's turnaround and his current work warning kids about drugs.
Pambuka used to be the face of the news, famous for his "News at Eight" sign-on, before addiction landed him in prison. After serving his time and going through rehab, he now talks openly about staying clean and supports the government's anti-drug campaigns. Chivayo's flashy gift is clearly meant to spotlight this redemption story, pushing the idea that people who own their mistakes deserve a second shot. For a public...
Peacock is about to start slapping ads on the profile selection screen, the place where you pick who is watching. Next year, when you open the app, a huge promotional image for a brand like Capital One or the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will dominate the screen right next to your user icons. These new arrival ads turn what was a blank space into a corporate billboard before you even start watching anything.
According to a company spokesperson, only people paying for the top-tier Premium Plus subscription will avoid these things. Everyone else gets a branded first impression. This move is part of a bigger push to stuff ads into every corner of the app. They are also planning to put commercials inside the vertical short clip feed on...
Looks like the self-checkout lane is becoming the new five-finger discount aisle for a lot of people. A recent survey shows over a quarter of users now admit to intentionally stealing items, a huge jump from last year. Many of these shoppers blame insane grocery prices and general unfairness as their main reasons for skipping the scan.
The data shows younger generations are leading the charge, with Millennials and Gen Z being the most likely to pocket stuff on purpose. But it is not always intentional; a significant number of people also admit to accidentally walking out with something they did not scan, and most never bother to correct the error. Despite this, a majority of users still prefer self-checkout for its speed, even while...
