More Details | Police say 28-year-old Shepherd Severa has been arrested for allegedly k!lling his friend, Brian Nandana, in Warren Park, Harare. According to investigators, the two men met in the early hours of Wednesday after Brian reportedly went to discuss a US$2,800 debt he owed Shepherd. Police allege that an argument broke out during the meeting and turned violent. Shepherd is accused of st@bbing Brian with a kitchen knife before placing the body in a Toyota Aqua vehicle. Investigators say he later drove to Warren Hills Cemetery, where he allegedly sucked bl00d from the body and buried it in a shallow grave. Authorities said the case was solved after a bl00d-stained vehicle and a dropped cellphone helped detectives track down Shepherd. Police also said Shepherd allegedly led officers to the grave and confessed to the crime. The disturbing details of the case have shocked many people, with some residents suspecting the incident may have been linked to ritual practices, although police have not confirmed this. Investigations are still continuing. Brian has been described by friends and church members as a humble, religious, and talented pianist who was loved by many in his community.

"What a time we have had together." 🩵

@KingJayZim Safe journey our King. Till next time, keep well.

Sadly, it’s time to say goodbye to Zimbabwe. What a journey this sojourn has been. A true roller coaster. From laughter and celebrations to heartbreak and grief, then somehow finding moments to smile again through it all. On 11 April, we gathered at the village in Redhill Njanja to celebrate the lives of our dearly departed grandparents, unveiling tombstones for them and for our late uncles too. It was emotional, but beautiful. A family united in remembrance, love and respect. Barely a week later, we were back again under dark clouds, laying my Aunt Grace to rest after her sudden passing. Life can change in an instant. One moment you are celebrating legacy, the next you are mourning loss. That hit hard. Through it all, I was carried by the love, support and warmth of family and friends. I want to thank my sister Charmaine for the logistical support, Blu Innovations⁠ @bluinnovations1 for the service kit, and Oliver “Twist” Madzinga of Cardeck Auto⁠ for keeping the Green Beast purring like a content lion. To family, friends and the #PyjamaParty possé, thank you for the laughter, the company and the warmth. To my daughter Cory, thank you for keeping the home fires burning . Thank you Sisi Ruth, Sekuru Manu and Endurance for making my stay comfortable, keeping me well fed, and for all the running around that had to be done behind the scenes. Sekuru Manu, I truly appreciate you. Mama Rose… thank you for everything you do for us. Love you very much. There are simply too many people to mention individually, but every phone call, every plate of food, every lift, every laugh, every comforting word and every embrace meant something. I leave teary-eyed and heavy-hearted. Leaving home never gets easier. But as they say, a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. Until next time, Zimbabwe. Cheers for now. Later is gonna be greater.

@cecewinans What a friend we have in Jesus

What's your favorite hymn?

@TheLifeZoomer Heartwarming. God bless your union indeed

My wife deserves a lifetime achievement award for believing in me before my life made any logical sense. 😂 When we started dating, I had: No school lunch One pair of shoes whose soles had been repaired so many times even the cobbler knew me personally No pocket money for tuckshop flexing A future that looked like an unfinished group assignment Her family tried to rescue her from me. 😭 Someone even attempted a tactical substitution by introducing her to a guy with a car. Meanwhile I was out there with slippers now secured by wire😀😀 But this woman still chose me. No money. No flashy prospects. No evidence. Just vibes, struggle and potential. 😂 Never forget the girl who loved you before life became soft. Some people join the movie after the happy ending. Others were there when the script still looked hopeless. I hold this woman very tightly. ❤️

Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is down over 90 percent, pushing fertilizer prices up fast. With crops feeding 40% to 50% of the world relying on nitrogen, farmers are already cutting inputs. I talk about this and more in my new op-ed: bit.ly/4dFdzAY

Honored to announce: CIMMYT has been named the recipient of the 2025 @AlSumaitPrize for African Development 🏆🌾 A sovereign State honor from Kuwait recognizing decades of science for humanity in Africa. This prize belongs to the farmers. Read more: on.cgiar.org/4uzyM4Q

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

For #sorghum to grow as a sub-sector, farmers, mechanization providers, buyers, and financiers must align. Through FARM P3, an initiative by @IFAD implemented by CIMMYT, partners validate field-tested models, bankable cases, and stronger links between smallholders and off-takers.

As #ZITF2026 comes to a close, we reflect on a powerful week of learning, engagement, and partnership. For @CIMMYT, this first participation was an important opportunity to show how science, innovation, and collaboration strengthen seed systems and food system resilience.

To everyone @ZITF1 who walked in, paused, and leaned into #ZeroHungerInAction. We saw you 👀 We heard you 👂🏿 We thank you 🙏🏿 Now we return to our different workstations where the real work begins. #ZeroHunger isn’t a vision. It’s action. Siyabonga #Bulawayo omuhle.

The conversations at #ZITF2026 continue. We’re engaging partners and visitors on how improved seed, science, and sustainable farming solutions can strengthen food availability. CIMMYT is proud to join partners at the WFP Zero Hunger Pavilion.

The flood of miracle testimonies🙌🏽🙌🏽

You still have a moment. Before the curtain falls, step into the #ZeroHunger Pavilion. A week of bold conversations, powerful pledges, and shared purpose, all pointing to one truth, no one should go to bed hungry. Be part of the story. #ZeroHungerInAction

Huge congratulations to the UN family for sweeping the International Organization category at #ZITF2026! 🎉 🥇 WFP - 1st place 🥈 UN Zimbabwe - 2nd place 🥉 UNDP - 3rd place Outstanding work all around—well deserved! 👏

The journey to #ZeroHunger isn’t a solo mission it’s a shared table. Real change happens through collaboration. At @ZITF1, partners across all four dimensions of food security are under one roof. Step into the #ZeroHungerInAction conversation and be part of the solution.
