Mulago National Referral Hospital is finally trying to do liver transplants. The boss there, Dr. Rosemary Byanyima, spilled the details. They are teaming up with Yashoda Hospital over in India to make it happen. This would be a first for Uganda. They already have a bunch of patients from their clinics who desperately need new livers. Doctors from Mulago have been sent to India and the United Kingdom for a month of crash course training. Once they get back, they will start picking which patients can get the surgery. The place has done three kidney transplants already, which they are pretty stoked about. Everyone from those operations is doing okay.
Do not get too excited yet, because the whole thing is basically held together with duct...
Cops getting busted for taking bribes is like the oldest story ever. Three traffic officers from Murehwa just got perp-walked into a courtroom. Their names are Prosper Muchangani, Shelton Masvande, and Mercy Makarimai. Ages are thirty-six, thirty-four, and not given. They are looking at charges for abusing their jobs after getting caught with almost a thousand U.S. dollars in bribe cash.
Here is how it all went down. Anti-corruption detectives were already watching that stretch of the Harare to Domboshava road. They had a hunch cops at the checkpoints were shaking down drivers. The detectives rolled up to a spot near Nyambirai Farm at the twenty-one-kilometer mark. They saw these three officers running a stop. Masvande pulled over two...
People in the Guruve district are completely freaked out. The cops are after a guy named Anymore Zvitsva, who they call Modho. He is thirty-two years old. They think he is a serial killer. There is a bounty on his head for info that gets him caught. This is all going down in Bosha Village up in the Magaya area. Locals are saying he has already killed a dozen people. The latest were two more just the other night. That adds to a bunch of others, like five from one family, three from another place, and a mom with her daughter.
The whole village is basically having a panic attack. They think this Zvitsva guy has a literal hit list. It supposedly names people he already got and others he still wants to target. Word is that most of them are...
The finance ministry is finally admitting that they froze a bunch of paycheck deductions on purpose. For the last four months, they have been holding back money meant for banks and microfinance companies that civil servants use for loans. Minister Mthuli Ncube says it was not a glitch or a cash flow problem. It was a deliberate move while they investigated the lenders. The government claims these companies were breaking multiple laws, charging insane interest and taking way too much from people's salaries.
The situation was apparently brutal. Ncube's statement says some government workers were having over a hundred percent of their take-home pay grabbed to service these debts, leaving them with literally nothing. That violates rules...
The flood death toll is rising in the South. Police in Matabeleland South confirm three people have drowned in separate river incidents, with four more still stranded. Inspector Chiratidzo Dube gave the grim breakdown. In Bulilima, that group of four people who went to harvest mopane worms last week remains stuck on an island in the Thekwane River. They crossed one part of the river fine in their donkey cart in the morning, but on the return trip that evening, found the next section flooded. When they turned back, the first part was also too high, trapping them where they are now.
A man named Sibusiso Ndlovu left a business center in Mawabeni to go home. He never arrived. His body turned up later on the bank of the Umzingwane River...
The village drama is always next level. A guy in Rusape named Beyond Magwena got publicly humiliated when a whole crew showed up at his house with his girlfriend, causing a huge scene in front of his actual wife. The girlfriend's brother, Phibion Mutombwa, took him to the local chief's court. He accused Magwena of basically living with his sister, Prisca, like she was a second wife, without the family's approval or paying anything for her. The brother wanted payment: three cows, three goats, and a thousand U.S. dollars. He said Magwena convinced Prisca to quit her job with promises of support, then left her high and dry, unable to help their sick mother.
Magwena's story was a mess of contradictions. He admitted Prisca was his...
So the bodyguard for that celebrity preacher, Walter Magaya, just walked free. Tapiwa Fellix Chikondo was on trial for trying to mess with a police investigation, specifically a rape case involving his boss. The charge was obstructing justice. A magistrate in Harare named Tapiwa Kuhudzai found him not guilty after a full trial.
The state's case was that back in November, Chikondo reached out to the mother of the woman who accused Magaya. He supposedly told her not to help the cops and even set up a call between her and the preacher himself. The big piece of evidence was a two-hundred-dollar EcoCash transfer he allegedly sent to the mom, meant to cover her travel costs to Harare to supposedly settle everything. Cops even pulled the...
A Chinese mining company just got booted from a local investment deal by the High Court. Ming Chang Sino Africa Investment, along with Fuel Africa and an individual named Wang Ke, have been ordered off the share register for Gwampa Mining. The court agreed with Gwampa that the shares given to these parties were totally illegal. The judge on the case, Bongani Ndhlovu, ruled the whole allotment was invalid.
Here is the backstory. Gwampa Mining made a deal back in 2017 with Eagle Italian Shoes, Ming Chang, and Fuel Africa. The plan was to jointly mine claims owned by another company called DGL Investment Number 5. The deal had specific conditions, like taking on a four point three million dollar debt and signing a formal shareholders...
The tourism authority is apparently cleaning house, and the staff is not happy about how it is going down. Word is the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority, under its acting CEO William Stima, has fired a bunch of senior people. This includes three directors and about a dozen other department heads and managers over the last two weeks. The whole situation has everyone else worried about how the place is being run, especially since pay has been late this year and there have been no raises or bonuses.
Things got extra messy recently because of a WhatsApp blunder. Stima accidentally posted a private message meant for the ministry's permanent secretary, Takaruza Munyinyiwa, to his public status. That message talked about even more planned firings of...
