Over past few weeks, some self-hating Zimbabweans have been using the social media to claim that large retailers like OK Zimbabwe are struggling because of a hostile operating environment, which is characterised by a large informal sector and alleged poverty among consumers.

Over the past two weeks social media has been aflame with opposition elements and other detractors demonstrating their frustration with their poor leadership and desperation to unseat ZANU PF to the extent of scraping the barrel by doing the unthinkable – comparing Zimbabwean life under the late former Rhodesian Prime Minister, Ian Douglas Smith, and after Independence.

In Zimbabwe, the digital divide between rural and urban areas is a significant challenge, exacerbated by economic factors, infrastructure gaps, and varying levels of access to technology and the internet. However, the Government, in collaboration with various stakeholders, has taken a number of steps to address this divide and improve digital access for rural schools. The importance of digital technology in education has become even more apparent in recent years, as online learning and digital platforms have become integral to the educational process, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Zimbabwe is taking a significant step forward in addressing two of its most pressing public health challenges: bilharzia and intestinal worms. The Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) has launched a nationwide mass drug administration (MDA) campaign, running from October 14 to 21, 2024, targeting children aged 5 to 14. This initiative aims to address the widespread impact of these neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) across the country, representing a holistic strategy to improve community health, boost education outcomes, and support the nation’s broader development goals.
