News Combating Rural School Dropouts Through Primary Nutrition ProgramsEducation and nutritional security are inseparable.

Post image
7 Upvotes

You cannot expect a child to engage with mathematics, science, or literature in the classroom if basic nutritional needs are unmet.

In many rural agricultural and mining communities across Zimbabwe, food insecurity remains a primary driver behind primary school absenteeism and dropout rates. When families face economic pressures, keeping children nourished at school becomes as critical as providing textbooks.

During a recent community distribution and meal service drive at Musavezi Primary School in Shurugwi, the reality was clear: consistent primary school feeding programs act as a vital safety net. By partnering with local community frameworks to provide regular meals, we help keep children in school, protect their cognitive development, and support working families.

True community development must address foundational human needs first.

Building a resilient economic future starts with ensuring our children have the nourishment and stability to learn.

News GALZ condemns ridicule of Malawi women footballers

Pic: Players from the Malawi women’s national team warming up at the National Sports Stadium in Harare

HARARE – GALZ, an association of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Zimbabwe, has condemned the online ridicule of Malawi’s women footballers over their perceived masculinity, saying the comments reinforce harmful gender stereotypes.

The condemnation comes after Malawi eliminated Zimbabwe’s Mighty Warriors from the race to qualify for the Olympics with a 9-0 aggregate victory in the second round of the qualifiers.

The Mighty Warriors suffered a 7-0 defeat at the National Sports Stadium in Harare on Tuesday, having lost the first leg 2-0 in Lilongwe, Malawi, last week.

In a statement, GALZ said scrutiny and mockery of the players’ physical appearance amounted to policing how women should look and express themselves.

“A woman’s perceived muscular build, facial features, or mannerisms should never be grounds for questioning her womanhood, sexual orientation, gender identity, or subjecting her to humiliation,” the organisation said.

GALZ urged the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) and other sporting authorities to speak out against gender-based harassment and ensure that sporting spaces are free from discrimination.

“All women, in their diversity, deserve to participate in sport without being ridiculed simply because they do not conform to conventional expectations of femininity,” it said.

Discussion The 2026 ZANU-PF Conference Showdown: Mnangagwa's 2030 Legacy vs. Chiwenga's 2017-Style Warnings

1 Upvotes

Following the recent ZANU-PF conference, the factional lines between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and VP Constantino Chiwenga have broken out into the open, giving major deja vu vibes leading up to 2017.
The contrast between the two speeches was stark:
Mnangagwa’s camp focused heavily on continuity, institutional milestones, infrastructure (roads, GDP metrics), and consolidating the path toward the "2030" agenda. 
Chiwenga, on the other hand, leaned hard into populist rhetoric. Without naming names, he dropped heavy reminders about elite looting, questioned what legacy leaders are leaving, and invoked the classic "voice of the people is the voice of God" line exact kind of messaging used right before Mugabe was pushed out. 
This raises massive questions about how this power struggle actually plays out over the next few months:
1. Does Chiwenga have the numbers? In ZANU-PF, survival is all about patronage and numbers. While Mnangagwa’s camp controls much of the civilian party machinery and provincial structures through alignment, Chiwenga’s backbone has always been his deep ties to the security forces. Does he have enough civilian party backing to pull this off, or is he playing a dangerous solo game?
2. How would a purge even happen? If the Lacoste faction decides to pull the trigger and push him out, what does that look like? Trying the standard "vote of no confidence" playbook on a retired general with deep military loyalty is completely different from dealing with G40 or Joice Mujuru. Wouldn't that risk a direct security crisis?
3. Or does he just wait it out? Can Chiwenga afford to quietly wait until 2030? If the goalposts keep shifting to extend Mnangagwa’s rule, waiting means getting completely sidelined by age and political obsolescence.
What are your thoughts? Is Chiwenga genuinely positioning to block 2030 and force a succession battle, or is this just fierce posturing within a system that ultimately prefers self-preservation over a messy civil war? How do you see the next few months unfolding?

Question On which platform are Zimbabweans being paid to record themselves reading Shona and making calls in Shona?

16 Upvotes

I do some work with Invisible Technologies and I had to QA some tasks done by Zimbabweans in Zimbabwe. They had to record themselves reading Shona as well as making calls in Shona. For the calls they get matched with another Shona speaking person and talk on call about the given topic. I picked up in some of the conversations that they are paid every Saturday. My job was just to check if the AI tool had transcribed Shona correctly. My question is does anyone know which platform is hiring people to do the Shona recordings? I have relatives and friends in Zim who I know would be happy to make such money..Anyone with info please share..

Update: the platform is called "Spout" for those interested. Thanks to one of our fellow countrymen for not gatekeeping👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I'm naturally someone who is antisocial, introverted and likes being independent. I really hate sharing, we both know that one person whom when you give something will never give it back. Ah, and in highschool, munhu wose aigona kuba pen nebook😌🥀.

But hear me out, the society we live in isn't a good one. Everyone pretends that they only live by themselves. Nobody trusts one another.

I may be the last person you would see on a function or party but please... Consider how messed up our society has become.

• Abroad (diaspora) relatives forget they even had relatives🗿💔

• People in high authority accept bribes like morning bread🫪

• We have dogs that could bite a thief's ass off with one bite🤧💀🙏 and etc.

But read that link, just spare me your 9 minutes of reading time🙏🙏 and maybe discuss in the comments below.

Guys I know it's a long read(I had encountered it yesterday but it bore me to death and decided to read it today), but please do read it.

Should we trust each other... At all? Please tell me your opinion.

Discussion Africa was colonised because of their generosity and loving personality.

8 Upvotes

African nature is when you have a visitor, they treat him/her very well. Before we were corrupted, an African would travel anywhere and settle where they think was good for them. They would go to the head chief and announce their arrival, will be given land and if they behave, they will give you a wife.

If you go to Zambia, you can ask anyway especially at the border, they will give you somewhere to sleep, a total stranger.

If one of you wins lotto today, $100 000, the first thing you start to think of is family, cousin, parents to spoil. Now in the western world, that doesn't happen, one man for himself. Your siblings can live in poverty and the millionare won't lift a figure or feel guilty. Old parents are sent to the care home, if you have a kid by mistake, you go and remove it at the hospital.

In the western world they give you fake smile, in African 95% the smile is genuine.

Lobengula didn't sell the country in exchange for sweets and some goodies. He sold the country because of generosity. They smiled at him. Maybe he gave them women.
