I work at a Chinese company located at 1 Craig Allan, New Ardbennie, Harare. The company manufactures mining equipment and also buys scrap metal, which they melt in a foundry to make products.
Last month, a client brought a truckload of scrap metal to sell to the company. While offloading it, we discovered that among the scrap metal there were also live bombs inside the truck. We immediately informed the manager, who is Chinese, but he forced us to continue offloading the scrap.
Within a minute after notifying the boss, one of the bombs exploded and injured two workers. One worker sustained serious chest injuries and was admitted to Parirenyatwa Hospital. The other worker suffered minor head injuries, was also admitted to Parirenyatwa Hospital, and was discharged two days later.
No police report was made after the incident. The worker who was seriously injured was later sent home without any assistance from the company.
We have tried to arrange meetings with the Chinese boss, but nothing fruitful has come out of it. He only says, “I don’t care about anyone here. I came to make money and go back to China.”
We also approached the NEC Iron and Steel Industry for help regarding the poor working conditions, but nothing has happened. They only promised to come and address our concerns.
May you please help us expose this matter and advise us on the proper legal channels we can follow? I will also send photos of the bombs.

@DandaroOnline The policy is not bad, but wrong timing.Improve Zimsec first, remove corruption… neighbouring countries used to come to learn in Zim.. Adress whats gone wrong first otherwise this policy is not bad at all… better than CAB3

#dandarostreets Zimbabwe will require all schools to register learners for ZIMSEC examinations starting in 2027, ending the use of parallel foreign exam systems.
Primary and Secondary Education Minister Torerayi Moyo says the move aims to enforce uniform standards and strengthen oversight across the education sector.
Private institutions now face a clear directive to comply with the national framework or risk falling out of step with government policy.

@CrimeWatchZW If we had a properly functioning government, many of these issues wouldn’t arise. There would be no room for hooligans disguising themselves as enforcement officers.

Hi. Muri sei? Hide my name please please. I was arrested yesterday at around 3 pm by Harare City Council officers. I was trying to buy fuel, but when I got to the Engen garage on Robert Mugabe Road, I was told there was no fuel.
As I was leaving the fuel station, Harare City Council officers arrived and detained me.
They accused me of being an InDrive driver and said I had stopped where it is not allowed. The sad part is that I am not even on InDrive.
How is this fair? I was made to pay a US$172 fine for this. Isn’t that too much?

@gama_stanley @online_zifa I think it was a penalty but the refree denied FC Platinum a clear scoring opportunity , and gave them a free kick instaed of giving them an advantage
English
The referee in the match between FC Platinum and Dynamos today should be investigated. He was totally against FC Platinum. The penalty awarded to Dynamos was a fraud. So far Dynamos have been awarded 4 penalties in 7 games. It’s a mess. @online_zifa must stop this rot.

On the morning of April 2, Lilian Mujuru loaded her five children into a Toyota Corolla and headed south on the Harare-Masvingo highway. Nokutenda (15), Makanaka (13), Ronald Junior (11), Rufaro Shalom (7), and baby Kayden (3). They were going to a church conference for Easter weekend. At the 246km peg near Mvuma, their car hit a Mercedes-Benz haulage truck head-on. All six died on the spot. Ronald Mujuru was at home in Tynwald North, waiting for the call to say they had arrived. That call never came.

@zanupf_patriots Which church was Mujuri going, were the family born again, I doubt that

Today, The First lady Dr A Mnangagwa brought together religious leaders from all faiths across the country to pray for Mr Ronald Mujuru and his family, as the nation continue to console him after the loss of his wife and five children.
The leaders comforted him through prayer and the Word of God, while songs and dance were performed to lift his spirit.

@thabanimnyama Kombies went up, buses also went up, but indrive didn't increase fares but here you're blaming drivers

I have said it before & I will say it again. The guys doing InDrive in Zim are going to kill it for themselves if they keep this crappy work culture yemushika shika mindset. Notice how they counter every ride offer with more money? It will be a sad thing for them.

@ashley_chamboko @thabanimnyama @frankgalqghr Haaaaa ndiwe hako usina kurongeka, u dont know how to be profitable using indrive….

@thabanimnyama @frankgalqghr Ndakachiita chidhiri chiya ndikazosiya. I understand the drivers, unosvika service mileage within 20 days, tyres anobaiwa coz some clients take you places without road. Was surprised 2025 i didn't have a single tyre puncture, inDrive made punctures feel normal.

The idea is not to make u rich ne one passenger, find ways to be profitable…
English
@thabanimnyama I don't know what happened but both drivers and passengers: most of them have mushikashika mentality. Most of those that request offer too low fares. And some unmethamatical drivers take everything coming their way. Ideally, rides should be $1 per kilometer and above

@acielumumba GDP in Zimbabwe is a useless base , its just in the papers

BREAKING: Zimbabwe Crosses $50 Billion
Zimbabwe's nominal GDP now stands at $52.4 billion for 2025. That makes it the largest economy in Southern Africa outside South Africa.
The number did not appear from nowhere. It was always there. It took ZIMSTAT a decade to count it properly.
George Guvamatanga's Treasury now operates with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 45%, down from 60% under the old measurement. Professor Mthuli Ncube delivers a GNI per capita of $3,200, crossing the threshold that validates the Vision 2030 trajectory. The Structured Dialogue Platform for arrears clearance sits on fundamentally different arithmetic. A $52 billion economy servicing $23 billion in debt is a restructuring candidate. A $21 billion economy carrying the same load was a crisis case.
ZIMSTAT completed a comprehensive economic census covering all economic activities for 2023. The results revised GDP estimates to $44.5 billion for 2023 and $45.7 billion for 2024. The 2025 projection reflects 6.6% real growth, driven by a 24% agricultural recovery, 7.3% mining expansion, and 4.2% manufacturing gains. The economy delivered 8.1% growth in the first half of 2025, with Q2 posting 11% year-on-year.
The IMF independently publishes $53.3 billion. The World Bank confirms 6.6% growth and projects 5% for 2026, noting Zimbabwe outpaces many sub-Saharan peers.
The regional picture is now settled. Zimbabwe at $52.4 billion sits above Zambia at $28.9 billion, Mozambique at $23.8 billion, Botswana at $19.4 billion, Namibia at $14.2 billion, and Malawi at $14 billion.
The previous GDP base year was 2012. In 13 years, the economy structurally transformed in ways national accounts never captured. The informal sector alone generates an estimated $14.2 billion annually. Tens of thousands of businesses formed since 2019 existed outside the statistical frame until the 2024 census brought them in.
A government making policy against a $21 billion reading was systematically underestimating its own economy by 40%. Revenue targets, debt assessments, and budget allocations were all calibrated to a denominator that was far too small.
The rebasing corrects this. The IMF provided technical assistance. The World Bank's own estimate of $44.1 billion for 2024 aligns closely with ZIMSTAT's figure. Independent validation exists.
For context: Vietnam crossed $50 billion in 2005 and reached $430 billion by 2024. South Korea crossed $50 billion in 1977 and now exceeds $1.7 trillion. The $50 billion threshold is where serious economies begin compounding.
Nigeria rebased in 2014 and the gains dissipated. Ghana rebased in 2010 and entered an IMF programme within 5 years. Zimbabwe's advantage is that this rebasing arrives alongside genuine stabilisation. ZiG inflation heading to single digits. Fiscal deficit below 0.5% of GDP. Agricultural output at its strongest in years.
The next frontier is revenue mobilisation. At 15% of GDP, closing the gap to the sub-Saharan average against the new $52 billion base would unlock approximately $780 million in additional annual revenue without raising a single rate.
Zimbabwe did not become a $50 billion economy this year. It became one years ago. The instruments finally caught up with the engine.

Pleasing to note that Govt has intervened & re-introduced the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (Zupco) buses to service intercity routes in some towns, providing relief to commuters by charging US$0.50 per trip compared to exorbitant charges by private players.
