A 28-year-old man from Zvishavane has been sentenced to an effective six years in prison after fatally assaulting his six-year-old niece for allegedly failing to read and write her name properly during a homework session.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police has launched a public appeal for information leading to the arrest of Hazel Silibaziso Mafu, who is wanted in connection with alleged fraud cases involving more than US$155,000. Police allege that Mafu, the director of Hezy Motors Logistics Private Limited, was involved in a series of vehicle importation deals between 2022 and April 2026 that allegedly left at least 20 complainants out of pocket.
