HARARE, Zimbabwe – Government-employed doctors on Monday ignored a labor court ultimatum to return to work, saying they remain incapacitated by poor wages and inadequate health facilities. Justices Lawrence Murasi and Rodgers Manyangadze on Friday ordered doctors to report for duty within 48 hours.

This comes as Grace is feeling the heat on number of fronts, including from artisanal miners who have moved onto her properties in Mazowe, in Mashonaland Central, following the recent move by authorities to allow people she had disposed of their land there to claim back. Grace risks losing all her properties in Mazowe – including her famed Gushungo dairy operations and top-notch school thereafter the government indicated that it could re-allocate the farms under her
THE spectre of factionalism that ultimately resulted in the fall of former President Robert Mugabe in November 2017 has returned to hound his successor President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Zimbabolivenews has learnt. Sources within Zanu PF the ethnic tensions between largely Zezuru and Karanga leaders with the party could explode into the public domain with the possibility Mnangagwa might be impeached. The latest round of factionalism in the ruling party reportedly pit Mnangagwa against his supposedly ailing second in command Vice President Constantino Chiwenga who is currently in China where he is receiving treatment.

Vice President, Rtd General Constantino Chiwenga, is increasingly set to finish off beleaguered President Emmerson Mnangagwa's presidential term, through a vicious military coup said to likely involve foreign hands and players, Spotlight Zimbabwe reported. According to diplomatic sources and a Zimbabwean banker now based abroad, hardline securocrats in Chiwenga's camp, now want him to be the country's president, and that he steps in to finish off Mnangagwa's term between 2020-2023, before handing over power to a successor of his choice, who will contest the next presidential plebiscite on a Zanu-PF ticket as a civilian leader, with the alleged blessing and orchestration of China. Chiwenga who is in Beijing seeking medical treatment for the past months, is
Fuel prices went up over the weekend, triggering price hikes of basic commodities and further worsening an economic calamity whose roots lie in a legitimacy crisis arising out of the stolen election of July 2018. Mr Mnangagwa must disembark from his high horse of arrogance and engage for dialogue with the people’s President, Advocate Nelson Chamisa. Morale is at a low ebb in all private and public institutions especially schools and hospitals.

Meanwhile, the ED regime continues to bury its head in the sand even as fuel prices increase every week, further straining the lives of ordi
The Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM) in Zimbabwe has been in turmoil in the past two years than at any stage in its history in the country. I am not Christian and I hope this disclaimer will help. It means I do not subscribe to either faction and have been questioning the Christology of their activities, without fear or favour. It means I am an outsider, reading from the terraces. Today, I climb down the terraces to wade into the murky waters. I am there deep in it in a manner that going back is as good as going forward. I have observed this narrative for long. It is fact not fiction that the current stand-off in AFM is not about anything, but wealth, wealth and wealth. It is gospreneurship, the art of making money from the word of God.
