HARARE – Almost double last year’s death toll has been recorded on Zimbabwe’s roads over the Easter weekend so far — and almost all of them over human error. Last year’s figure of seven compares with 21 people killed this year, and a further 105 seriously injured as compared to 43 last year. There were…
HARARE – There was a break-in at former first lady Grace Mugabe’s orphanage in Mazowe recently where valuables, including laptops, were stolen under suspicious circumstances. The Daily News on Sunday can report that Grace now fears for the life of more than 100 orphans at her top-notch orphanage after the burglars got away with 31…
HARARE – The rather uncharacteristic attack on the country’s leadership by the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC) for seeking medical treatment in foreign hospitals is both bold and refreshing. It is a marked departure from the culture of local State bodies who are largely guided by the dictum “see no evil, hear no evil, speak…
HARARE – Health minister David Parirenyatwa should just do the honourable thing and resign so as to save the little that is left of an ailing Zimbabwean health sector.

HARARE – When it comes to love, they say age is just but a number.

HARARE – Zimbabwe senior men cricket team coach Heath Streak has given an emotional farewell to the local cricket fans and his charges led by Captain Graeme Cremer following a 24-hour ultimatum given to him by his paymasters on Thursday.

HARARE – Special Olympics Zimbabwe (Soz) golfer Lee-Roy Kasamba is just $2 500 short of realising his dream of representing the country at the Macau Golf Masters in Hong Kong, China this month. The games are scheduled for April 16 to 20 and Kasamba is supposed to travel on the 15th. Out of the $4…
HARARE – After gaining international recognition as an ultra-marathon runner, Stephen Muzhingi now wants to offer a bridge for other young Zimbabwean athletes. However, Muzhingi’s road to the top was not smooth sailing. He had tried to make a name through running in his own country, but his plans hit a brick wall as the…
HARARE – Being a spectator at a football match, comes with a heavy price and a huge duty that falls your shoulders. If say 10 000 fans make their way to a stadium, I don’t know what suddenly makes almost every one of them experts in analysing their team. But then what can never be…
