A South African court has handed down judgment in the extradition case of Zimbabwean activist Wellington Masiwa, also known as Comrade Nyoka-yema-bhunu. Masiwa is a vocal critic of President Emmerson Mnangagwa but Zimbabwe says the request relates to fraud charges and not politics. The case has sparked debate over extradition law, political asylum and the protection of activists in South Africa. In an exclusive interview from the holding cells, Masiwa spoke to Producer Tracey Boomgaard about his arrest and time in the country.

Vakbondfederasie Cosatu het sy steun aan die Zimbabwiese Kongres van Vakbonde belowe om pogings te verwerp om president Emmerson Mnangagwa se ampstermyn te verleng.

Zanele Sabela van Cosatu sê die stryd van Zimbabwiese werkers word verbind aan die breër stryd vir sosiale geregtigheid, en doen 'n beroep op leiers om demokratiese norme te respekteer en grondwetlike vooruitgang te beskerm:
Zimbabwe se regerende Zanu-PF-party beplan om die grondwet te wysig om president Emmerson Mnangagwa, 83, se termyn met twee jaar tot 2030 te verleng, 'n stap wat opposisiepolitici as onwettig veroordeel. Die resolusie kom te midde van 'n opvolgstryd binne die party. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met die Suid-Afrikaanse politieke kommentator, dr. Charles Sinkala wat kommer uitgespreek het dat partypolitiek die Grondwet beïnvloed. Hy sê dit ondermyn demokrasie.
Zimbabue atraviesa una de las peores sequías de las últimas décadas. El presidente, Emmerson Mnangagwa, declaró el estado de catástrofe el año pasado, y las cosechas de este año han sido igualmente escasas. En uno de sus efectos más sombríos, la crisis climática está alimentando un alarmante aumento de los matrimonios infantiles. La desesperación económica lleva a muchas familias a casar a sus hijas menores de edad como medio para reducir la carga alimentaria del hogar o recibir una compensación económica. Un reportaje de Irene Savio, en el sur (Bulawayo) y oeste de Zimbabue En una aldea rural del oeste de Zimbabue, Lungisani Nyathi, un hombre de 39 años, custodia uno de los pocos pozos de agua que no se han secado por la sequía que, el año pasado, obligó al país a declarar el estado de catástrofe y acabó con gran parte de las cosechas de las que depende la población. "Podría ocurrir" "El agua no es suficiente, es poca y por eso la gente sufre mucho", cuenta. Lungisani tiene cuatro hijos, incluida una bebé de 10 meses que vive con él y su esposa en una especie de choza construida sobre un suelo árido y rojizo. La bebé es su única hija, y a Lungisani le preocupa que ella también sufra el destino que cada vez más niñas en esta región enfrentan: ser niñas esposas. "Es algo de lo que mi esposa y yo hablamos cada vez que oímos hablar de otra niña a la que le ha pasado. Es duro, pero, si esto sigue así, sí podría ocurrir", dice Lungisani, con cierta resignación, al explicar que es poco lo que puede ofrecer a sus hijos. "Sequías cada vez más continuadas y extendidas" Junto con la organización británica Mary's Meals, la ONG zimbabuense ORAP reparte comida a 56.000 niños en 170 escuelas del país. Mvuse Huni, su directora ejecutiva, explica que el proyecto también busca prevenir fenómenos como los matrimonios infantiles —al permitir que los niños acudan a las escuelas en lugar de quedarse en sus casas—, que están en aumento como consecuencia de la inseguridad alimentaria provocada por el cambio climático. "Sin duda, están aumentando las menores embarazadas y las que se casan", dice Huni, al explicar que esto se debe a que muchas familias en las zonas rurales viven de la agricultura y, cuando hay sequía y el clima se vuelve más extremo, la agricultura se vuelve más difícil, al igual que la vida de esas familias. "El problema es que las sequías están siendo cada vez más continuadas y extendidas en el tiempo", añade Huni. "Una estrategia de supervivencia" "Es una estrategia de supervivencia, porque no hay suficiente comida", dice Thadine Mpone, una maestra de otra escuela del distrito de Nyati que también participa en el proyecto. Mpone explica que la escasez de agua y el hambre están llevando a muchas niñas a abandonar sus estudios, quedar embarazadas y buscar un marido para poder sobrevivir. Aunque también es una forma de reducir la carga alimentaria en sus hogares de origen. Los matrimonios infantiles son ilegales en Zimbabue, pero en parte también tolerados por la sociedad, lo que dificulta tanto su análisis como su erradicación. Según investigaciones de organizaciones como Plan Internacional, en el país hay más de un millón de mujeres que fueron niñas esposas, víctimas de un círculo vicioso, ahora también alimentado por la crisis climática, que perpetúa la injusticia.

The government of Zimbabwe is pressing ahead with compensating white citizens who lost their farms due to the country's land reform programme. Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube recently told the media that the time has come. “We struck an agreement a few years back and we have now begun to honour that agreement”The controversial law, which was introduced in the year 2000, led to at least 4,000 white citizens being kicked out of their farms to make way for their black counterparts. The then president Robert Mugabe argued that he was addressing historical injustices. During the colonial era, much of the country's best and arable land was reserved for the white population. Black farmers were forced onto marginal areas. But some farmers are rejecting the offer made by president Emmerson Mnangagwa's government. Africa Daily's Mpho Lakaje finds out why this is such a complex matter.Guests: Ish Mafundikwa, Harry Orphanides, Ben Freeth, Professor Mandivamba Rukuni and Taruvinga Magwiroto

One of Zimbabwe's most wanted political fugitives is calling for protests on March 31.

Die politiek in Zimbabwe wek kommer. Die oorlogsveteraan en voormalige geheimediensbeampte, Blessed Geza, vra vir 'n landswye opstand teen president Emmerson Mnangagwa op 31 Maart. Geza, wat visepresident Constantino Chiwenga ondersteun, het Mnangagwa van korrupsie en betrokkenheid by die dood van nasionale leiers en militêre generaals beskuldig.

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa recently told journalists that he has no interest in extending his term of office. “These terms are very definite, and I'm so democratic. When they come to an end, I will step aside and my party will elect my successor”, he said. But will the head of state really hand over the baton to someone else? Towards the end of last year, Mnangagwa's party, Zanu PF passed a resolution to extend his term when it ends in 2028. Some in Zimbabwe believe the president is in fact playing politics and that he intends to consolidate his power. At the same time, a group of Zanu PF war veterans are pushing for Mnangagwa to immediately vacate his office, accusing him of failing to improve the country. So, what does the future hold for the southern African nation? Presenter: Alan Kasujja Guests: Shingai Nyoka and Dr. Gideon Chitanga

By 'n onlangse perskonferensie het Zanu-PF se sekretaris vir inligting, ambassadeur Christopher Mutsvangwa, die Zimbabwiese president Emmerson Mnangagwa geloof as 'n proaktiewe leier wat daartoe verbind is om die lewens van alle burgers te verbeter.

Die skenkings van miljoene Namibiese dollar aan Swapo oor die naweek lok steeds reaksie uit. Daar was na wat berig word skenkings van 'n Zimbabwiese afvaardiging, wat kinders van president Emmerson Mnangagwa insluit, en 'n Noorweegse maatskappy met belange in Namibiese beesvleis. Verskeie bekende en soms omstrede name in die plaaslike besigheidswêreld het ook ruim geskenk. Dit laat vrae ontstaan oor die doel van die skenkings.

Last week, Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa declared a national disaster due to a prolonged drought crisis, saying the country needed $2 billion to address hunger. Zimbabwe, once a regional food producer, now grapples with high inflation and scarcity, intensified by climate change-induced droughts. This crisis affects not only food production but also electricity generation, leading to power cuts. And it's not just Zimbabwe. Neighbouring countries are also struggling, with Zambia and Malawi also declaring drought a national disaster. BBC Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja hears from an impacted farmer in Zambia and hears from the BBC's Shingai Nyoka how people are coping in the region.
“As an ordinary Zimbabwean I have to be worried when my president is sanctioned, because an investor who is in Dubai will think twice before coming to Zimbabwe” – Dr. Alexander Rusero, Zimbabwean political analyst. The United States has imposed fresh sanctions, replacing a broader programme that was introduced more than two decades ago. Those targeted include president Emmerson Mnangagwa who is accused by President Joe Biden's administration of corruption and human rights abuses. Others on the list are First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and Defence and War Veterans Affairs Minister Oppah Muchinguri.
