In recent months, a striking pattern has emerged across sections of Zimbabwe’s private media. Nearly identical stories, recycled allegations, and familiar insinuations have been published repeatedly, often without new evidence, corroboration, or meaningful context. This convergence is not accidental. It reflects a coordinated narrative strategy designed to generate what can only be described as scandal fatigue a media environment where repetition substitutes for proof and per

Veteran breeder Mark Hook has played a pivotal role in reviving the Boran and Nkone cattle societies, restoring momentum to Zimbabwe’s livestock sector from his Doonside Farm in Mutorashanga. Hook’s leadership as chairperson of the Cattle Producers Association, the Nkone Cattle Breeders Society and the Boran Breeders Society, and as a member of the Zimbabwe Herd Book (ZHB) executive committee, has helped re‑register breeders, rebuild herds and re‑establish breeding standards

Born in 1943 in colonial Rhodesia, Geza was a veteran of Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle and later became an influential figure within the ruling ZANU-PF party. After independence in 1980, he transitioned into the security and political spheres, with reports suggesting he served in the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO). He later entered Parliament, representing Sanyati, and rose through party ranks to become a member of the ZANU-PF Central Committee, as well as a prom

A Harare-based logistics dealer has appeared before the Harare Magistrates’ Court facing three counts of theft of trust property involving US$18,450, allegedly misappropriated from a client who had entrusted him with funds to pay South African suppliers. Philimon Tawanda Maruta (60) appeared before Harare magistrate Artwell Sanyatwe, accused of converting money meant for business transactions to his personal use. The complainant in the matter is Sandra Jeche (52).

In a statement released on February 3, KMC said the advert falsely claims to offer employment opportunities at the company and is designed to extract money and personal information from unsuspecting applicants. The mining firm stressed that it has not authorised any recruitment exercise linked to the circulating posts. “KMC has NOT authorised any such recruitment drive, and no legitimate vacancies are being advertised through unofficial channels,” the company said.

The limited-time offer, which runs until February 14, allows buyers to secure a stand with a 10% deposit and spread the balance over five years, a move that reflects how developers are adapting to Zimbabwe’s tight liquidity environment through flexible payment models. Industry analysts say such arrangements are increasingly the norm as developers seek to sustain demand while households and investors remain cautious about upfront capital.

The 2026 operations began with a strategic board meeting that served as an orientation for the newly elected members. Chaired by Thabiso Moyo, the board met with Willie Mushayi, the chief registrar from the Department of Deeds, Companies, and Intellectual Property. Mushayi emphasized the importance of good governance, professionalism, ethical conduct, harmony, and strict adherence to the law.

A Kenyan truck driver has been sentenced to two years in prison by a Zimbabwean court following a horrific crash at the notorious Mufusire Uphill in Headlands that killed three members of a bridal party and left a young woman seriously injured. Ibrahim Albashire Adanw was convicted of culpable homicide after driving his truck into the wrong lane and colliding head-on with a Nissan Note on December 23, a day meant to mark the beginning of wedding celebrations.

Chamisa insists that Zimbabweans “voted for change” and still demand it. That may be true. But voters are also asking harder questions now about leadership consistency, accountability, and sacrifice. Agenda 2026 will ultimately be judged not by diplomatic meetings or polished interviews, but by whether it reconnects with abandoned structures, protects supporters on the ground, and offers a credible pathway to power beyond slogans. For now, Chamisa is back. Whether his people

Drivers say a single fine can wipe out an entire day’s earnings. Another major driver of fare increases is the daily target system imposed by vehicle owners. Operators of newer kombis reportedly demand up to US$140 per day, while older vehicles have targets of around US$110. Drivers argue that a sustainable target should be between US$50 and, US$80, anything higher, they say, makes fare hikes inevitable.

Zimbabwean cities should not be forced to choose between vibrancy and functionality. A city can be alive with hustle and still be safe, clean, and accessible. The smell of roasted liver should evoke culture and commerce, not concern. The balance lies in recognising that hustle signals economic life, while order reflects civic maturity. Zimbabwe needs both, and the future of its cities depends on getting that balance right.

In one disturbing video obtained by the broadcaster, an African man wearing a Russian military uniform is seen with a landmine strapped to his chest, being ordered to advance toward Ukrainian positions. A Russian-speaking commander can be heard using a racist slur, describing the man as a “can opener,” a human tool meant to trigger explosions and expose enemy bunkers. The footage has sparked outrage and renewed concern over how foreign fighters, particularly Africans, are bei

The High Court will on February 17 decide whether former Cabinet minister Walter Mzembi should be discharged at the close of the State’s case, a ruling that could bring his criminal abuse of office trial to an early end. The decision, to be delivered by Justice Benjamin Chikowero, follows the State’s closure of its case after calling four witnesses, including a senior investigator from the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC).

The High Court has blocked the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) from collecting US$7.1 million in disputed mining royalties from Zimbabwe Platinum Mines (Zimplats), ruling that the law did not allow royalties to be charged on matte and concentrate exports before 2022.

Despite strong speculation linking him with a move to Hardrock, Nyahwa returned to training this week and appears set to see out his contract, which runs until December 31. Other familiar faces staying put include goalkeeper Tatenda Makoni, Clive Mandivei, Leeroy Mavunga, Junior Perezo, and Jairosi Kasondo, providing a small but important backbone of continuity.

The poems aim to reveal the human side of journalists, their courage, pain, and the enduring power of their work. Snyman said the collection addresses grief and celebrates a life that influenced many: “This book’s publication coincides with Max’s fifth death anniversary. It’s intended as a tribute to his works and the impact he had on our lives. He touched and influenced a lot of lives.” The poems also reflect on broader societal issues drawn from Zimbabwean experience and p

Zimbabwe joins other countries that have revisited earlier power‑sector liberalisation after mixed results, particularly where state capacity and fiscal constraints limit private investment. Observers say success will depend on clear governance arrangements, transparent financial management, and demonstrable improvements in maintenance and reliability. The government and MIF have framed the move as pragmatic rather than ideological: rebundling is presented as a corrective st

Thousands of visitors to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, are expected to sample Zimbabwean rabbit meat at the Victoria Falls Food & Wine Festival (October 8–11), as the country positions rabbit production as a flagship agricultural and culinary product for Africa and global markets. Festival organisers and industry leaders say the event will spotlight rabbit meat’s health benefits, sustainability, and export potential while promoting Zimbabwe’s rabbit value chain.

It is against this grim backdrop that Geo Pomona Waste Management has emerged as a timely and transformative intervention, restoring dignity, safety, and cleanliness to urban life. What began as a focused waste management programme in Harare has since expanded steadily, spreading across the country to other towns and cities where refuse collection had all but collapsed.

Zimbabwe’s music industry is tuning up for a very different kind of performance this week. Instead of guitars and microphones, musicians are preparing placards and petitions as they plan a peaceful demonstration demanding accountability at the Zimbabwe Music Rights Association (ZIMURA).
