A delegation which included representatives from the European Union, FAO, and UNDP recently visited Chiredzi and Mwenezi districts, touring sites supported by the Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund (ZRBF) alongside CARE Zimbabwe.

The visit focused on reviewing successes and learning from the initial phase of the project to strengthen the next round of programming.

Delegates met with local participants who have successfully diversified into ventures such as goat production, poultry, and crop farming with project support.

One beneficiary, Officer Mashamba (32) from Chiredzi, said that the project enabled him to start a viable farming operation and be able to pay his university fees through farming.

Officials say the insights gathered will help shape more effective community support programs in the future.

Is sesame a viable alternative to cotton in the lowveld? Smallholder farmers in the Chiredzi have been gradually dumping cotton farming due the the prevailing unsustainable market conditions, and sesame is emerging as a possible alternative. Is it a viable crop, resilient to the prevailing climate, with a ready market?

Prices of basic commodities likely to increase by January 2026 as Finance Minister increases VAT. Here is a quick analysis by Hon Blessing Ropafadzo Makumire on the budget pronouncements made today.

Hon Makumire: The VAT rate increases by 0.5% to 15.5% will raise the price of everyday goods and services, pushing up the cost of living for ordinary Zimbabweans. It hits low-income families hardest, widens the gap between salaries and prices, and contributes to short-term inflation.

The 2026 national budget introduces a Digital Services Withholding Tax. This is an online taxation measure in the 2026 Budget.

đź“Ś What it affects:
Payments to offshore digital platforms for:
e-hailing (e.g., ride-hailing apps)online content charges satellite-based internet access fees.

If you subscribe to Netflix, Spotify, TikTok subscriptions, e-learning platforms, etc., your bank may start withholding a tax when you pay. If you pay for things like Starlink or satellite internet, tax may also be deducted.

Advocate Fadzai Mahere has also commented on the VAT increase:

The proposed “reduction” of IMTT from 2% to 1,5% for ZWL electronic transactions is an absolute non-event. The Minister is pretending to give with one hand then taking a lot more with the other because Value Added Tax has been increased by 0,5%.

VAT is a tax that cuts across just about all sectors and all services which means that the price of all goods and services is going to go up to accommodate this increase. It is a tax that’s imposed on all transactions, cash and electronic, so it’s going to increase inflation and make goods and services even less affordable.

The proposed 0,5% reduction in IMTT excludes USD electronic transactions which will continue to be costly by virtue of this extortionate 2% tax.

This measure is an attempt to pull the wool over our eyes but the truth of the matter is that the Budget Proposal is anti-people, anti-productivity and anti-progress.

The IMTT should be scrapped altogether. It is extortionate and drives up the cost of doing business and consuming goods.

Mkwasine woman arrested for murdering own daughter

The Zimbabwe Republic Police has confirmed the arrest of Geviza Fadzai (35) for the murder of her three-year-old daughter.

The incident occurred on November 25 at Village 2, Fair Range, Mkwasine. According to the ZRP, the suspect allegedly stabbed the child in the neck with a knife.

Fadzai then informed a neighbour that four unknown assailants had attacked the child. She later told the village head the child had died of natural causes.

The crime was discovered during burial preparations when a deep cut was observed on the victim's neck, prompting a report to the police.

Police investigations revealed the alleged motive, that Fadzai reportedly killed her daughter to enable her marriage to a new boyfriend who was unwilling to have a relationship with a woman who had a child.

The victim's body was taken to Chiredzi General Hospital for a post-mortem. Geviza Fadzai remains in custody.

MUTUMWA APOSTLE PAUL MWAZHA RIP - Mangwana

It is with a profound sense of both loss and eternal gratitude that we acknowledge the peaceful passing of spiritual father to many, Apostle Paul Mwazha, today. While our hearts feel the weight of his departure, they are infinitely more filled with the immense glory of a life spectacularly lived in the service of God.

Apostle Mwazha was not merely a man; he was a pillar of faith, a beacon of hope, and the foundational rock upon which the African Apostolic Church was built. For decades, he walked among us not as a distant leader, but as a beloved Mutumwa (Messenger), guiding countless souls with unwavering principle, deep wisdom, and a love that reflected the divine.

His life was a testament to the power of faith. He dedicated himself entirely to the spiritual nourishment of his followers, teaching the values of humility, perseverance, and devout worship. Under his leadership, the church grew from humble beginnings into a vibrant, nationwide community, a testament to the power of his message and the authenticity of his mission.

More than a religious leader, Apostle Mwazha was a cultural and moral compass for many. He stood as a symbol of resilience, integrity, and the enduring strength of African spirituality intertwined with Christian faith. His teachings transcended generations, offering a constant, reassuring presence in a changing world.

Rest in Eternal Peace, Servant of God. Your work on Earth is complete, and your legacy is everlasting.
