According to the Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board (TIMB), this achievement exceeds the 296 million kg record set in 2023 and has generated more than 1 billion U.S. dollars in revenue for farmers, marking a significant boost to the country’s agricultural economy. TIMB spokesperson Chelesani Tsarwe described the 2024 season as historic, attributing the success to the resilience and collaboration across the entire value chain. However, she stressed that future growth must transcend volume metrics, urging a shift toward greater local processing, improved farmer income, diversified export markets, and environmentally sustainable practices. The ultimate goal, she noted, is to ensure that tobacco production delivers more inclusive and long-term economic value. Zimbabwe’s progress aligns with its 2021 Tobacco Value Chain Transformation Plan, which set an ambitious annual production target of 300 million kg and a broader vision of building a 5-billion-dollar industry by 2025. As one of the country’s key export earners, with major markets in China and South Africa, tobacco remains a vital economic driver, especially for rural communities. Authorities now aim to move from sheer output to a more integrated and value-oriented industry that benefits the nation more holistically. *'Take Full Advantage Of Opportunities To Improve Your Living Standards': Mnangagwa Tells Youths* PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has challenged Zimbabwean youths to grab opportunities created by his government aimed at improving their standards of living. Officially opening the 33rd Session of the Junior Parliament of Zimbabwe at the New Parliament Building in Mt Hampden this Friday, President Mnangagwa said through the government’s transformational and inclusive developmental policies, no child and no place was being left behind whilst the promotion of youths’ participation in matters that affect them at every level, from the village right up to the national level was being scaled up. “I urge you, our young people, to take full advantage of the opportunities that my government is offering, as we improve the quality of our living standards. “Since the advent of the Second Republic, there are evident results of the efforts we are making towards strengthening the protection, empowerment and development of children and young people,” Mnangagwa said. He highlighted that an increased number of children now have access to the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM), with over over 1.5 million vulnerable children having access to quality education through the facility. The event also was an occasion for African youths to observe and commemorate the Day of the African Child, recognised throughout the continent on June 16, exactly 49 years since the 1976 Soweto Uprising in South Africa. Friday’s event a marked the Day of the African Child, which stands as a constant reminder for Zimbabwe and its government to the family unit, of the need to be responsive to the requirements and challenges faced by young people. Under the theme, “Planning and Budgeting for Children’s Rights: Progress Since 2010, the day is aligned to government’s commitment to prioritise the rights and needs of children, wherever they live. “This annual gathering continues to be the hallmark of democratic expression, participation and inter-generational dialogue for the children and youth of our beloved motherland, Zimbabwe. “As we gather together with you, the youth of our country, we once again pay tribute to the young children of yesteryear, who bravely confronted the racist colonial and apartheid oppressive systems. “The historic bravery by that crop of young people should inspire you, the current generation, to fight for our country’s interests and that of Africa, to achieve greater successes across all sections of human endeavour,” added the President. Among some of the developments to improve the youth livelihoods, Mnangagwa said the launch of the Junior Parliament Alumni Network was a development worth celebrating. “The platform should ensure that the leadership nurtured in this august House remains a voice in national discussions concerning children and the youth. “The Alumni should serve as a think-tank and mentorship engine that prepares young people for the future ahead.” The government has continued to strengthen, expand and equip Vocational Training Centres across the country. At these centres, young Zimbabweans learn diverse trades, from agriculture and engineering to ICT and hospitality, among others, that directly feed into the economy. “I applaud the Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Development and Vocational Education for the leadership and guidance it continues to provide to you, our young people, and the Junior Parliament in particular. “The government expects the recommendations of the Comprehensive Evaluation of the Junior Parliament Programme, towards strengthening the overall impact of the Programme. “This forum must not be reduced to a mere talk show, but the output of the Junior Parliament must inform our national development priorities as well as programmes and projects.” As the Fourth Industrial Revolution continues to unfold, President Mnangagwa expected that the capacitation and development of skill to harness opportunities availed by Artificial Intelligence, among the young people, will be prioritised and scaled up. “Our young boys and girls must be well prepared for the jobs of the future. In light of this imperative, the need to transform our Vocational Training Centres into digital learning spaces and re-purpose underutilised facilities, such as post-offices, into community innovation hubs, cannot be overemphasised.” He commended the hundreds of centres across all provinces being equipped to train youth in high-demand digital skills. *NewZW* *We Are Vindicated On Health Crisis: Nurses* THE Zimbabwe Nurses Association (Zina) says President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s recent hospital tour has confirmed that the country’s health system is in a state of collapse and urgently needs intervention. The visit exposed the critical state of public hospitals, where nurses work under extreme conditions and patients suffer due to a lack of medicine, equipment and proper care. Mnangagwa this week visited Parirenyatwa and Sally Mugabe hospitals following growing public outcry and repeated calls from Zina, whose president, Enock Dongo, has been warning of a deepening crisis in the country’s health sector. The visit also came after Youth minister, Tino Machakaire, urged Mnangagwa to visit public hospitals and see the deteriorating state of affairs. Mnangagwa's visit was made without Health minister Douglas Mombeshora. For months, Zina has been speaking out about the severe shortages of medicines, lack of essential equipment, collapsing infrastructure and the dire working conditions that have pushed the country’s health system to the edge. Dongo said neglect by the government has plunged hospitals into disrepair, leaving citizens to pay the price through unnecessary suffering and avoidable deaths. "Public hospitals have no medication. Patients are told to buy their drugs or supplies — things that should be readily available. People are dying from diseases that are easily treatable. These are not deaths due to lack of medical knowledge or skill — but deaths caused simply by the absence of basic medication, equipment and resources," Dongo said in a statement. "Diagnostic centres are almost non-existent. Basic laboratory services are unavailable. Nurses are unable to conduct essential tests and the sick are being referred to private hospitals that they cannot afford. They remain in public wards, in pain, waiting, suffering." At the two hospitals, Mnangagwa walked through crumbling wards, where windows were shattered and beds had no blankets. He passed through corridors with no running water and dilapidated infrastructure as he listened to doctors and nurses how they were operating within the health institutions. Patients have been routinely turned away or referred to private clinics because X-ray machines, diagnostic labs and basic testing equipment were not functioning. Dongo added that nurses were enduring inhumane conditions. "Many go to work on an empty stomach, unable to afford transport or food, and return home to families facing the same hunger. Some walk long distances to reach hospitals, only to work long, underpaid shifts in facilities falling apart around them. "Health workers remain poorly paid, which has also led to low staff morale and brain drain, with skilled personnel leaving the country for greener pastures." Mnangagwa also visited Natpharm, the State-run medical supply agency responsible for distributing drugs to government hospitals. *Newsday* *Muguti Raises Alarm Over Harare’s 'Hidden Homes'* Presidential Affairs and Devolution Permanent Secretary Engineer Tafadzwa Muguti has highlighted the escalating housing crisis in the Harare metropolitan area during a national economic consultative forum. Speaking at the forum, Muguti revealed alarming statistics indicating that the region is grappling with approximately 60,000 illegal homes, a significant increase from 56,200 three years ago. “In Chitungwiza alone, I think we’re sitting around 20-something thousand illegal homes so, if you have 60,000 illegal homes, it means you have 60,000 illegal communities,” he said. Muguti noted that these illegal homes lack proper addresses, making it difficult to collect taxes and provide essential services. “So, we have 60,000 homes in the province with no address So, we have 60,000 homes in the province with no address A good example is Harare South,” he said. He added that at times, local authorities are forced to collect the taxes from people who are not even paying their rates and taxes “Once those people get sick from cholera, it is the same local authority that now needs to control the cholera pandemic,” he said. Muguti said he has hopes that the dialogues will help to curb the illegal housing crisis “I’m hoping this dialogue will really discuss this and see how to fix it. Because the moment you say we’ll regularize them you are also encouraging the land baron to go ahead and create more thousand illegal homes,” he said. Muguti also raised concerns about the role of local councilors in exacerbating the situation “We have challenges where even councilors themselves, Chitungwiza and Harare, especially Chitungwiza, we have councilors who are now leading the invasions, let’s regularise the guys who are buying the resorts. Because he led the invasion and sold the stands,” he said. *263chat* *Prophet Walter Magaya Seeks One Week Postponement In US$420k Liquidation Case* Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries leader Walter Magaya and his wife, Tendai, have secured a one-week postponement in the High Court proceedings initiated by GetBucks Microfinance Bank Limited, which seeks to liquidate their personal estates over an outstanding debt of US$420,140.72. The matter, originally scheduled to be heard yesterday (Wednesday), was deferred after Magaya’s legal team requested the extension to prepare their challenge to the liquidation application. The matter will be heard on the 25th of June, next week. GetBucks Microfinance Bank Limited is pursuing the liquidation under Section 6 of the Insolvency Act (Chapter 6:07), contending that the Magayas are unable to settle their debts and have committed acts of insolvency. This follows a High Court judgment from October 9, 2024, which ordered Walter Magaya, Tendai Magaya, and their company, Planet Africa (Private) Limited, to pay the stated sum along with 10% monthly interest from September 11, 2024. Court documents indicate that previous attempts to recover the funds have been unsuccessful. Movable assets at their residential address were released after a claim by the Trustees of The Walter Magaya Family Trust, while those at Planet Africa’s address were claimed by PHD Ministries. An immovable property, a piece of land in Salisbury, was declared specially executable, but its sale on March 28, 2025, was reportedly frustrated when Planet Africa (Private) Limited entered corporate rescue proceedings. GetBucks Microfinance Bank Limited asserts that with no other known assets belonging to the Magayas and all execution avenues exhausted, they are insolvent. The bank also points to neglected statutory demands for payment and a “nulla bona” return from the Sheriff, indicating no attachable assets. The bank has nominated Noreen Chikaka of Reign Management Consultancy (Private) Limited as the proposed liquidator, arguing that liquidation would benefit GetBucks and other creditors by preventing further debt accrual and compelling the Magayas to disclose their financial affairs. The application also suggests the Magayas may attempt to leave the country and seeks an order for them to surrender their passports. *nehandaradio* *Former Soldier Wipes Out Colleague's ZNA Pension Payout* A FORMER Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) member is counting losses after his pension was wiped out by a colleague, who retired at the same time with him last year. The complainant is Forward Mapfunde from Warren Park D in Harare. Mapfunde dragged his former colleague Tigere Dube (43) to court accusing him of the scam. Dube appeared before Harare Magistrate Ruth Moyo charged with fraud. He was not asked to plead and awaits bail determination. Dube now resides in Mbobola Village under Chief Masunda in Zvishavane. Dube was stationed at Ordinance Supply Depot, Southern Region. According to the National Prosecuting Authority, on September 23, 2024, Mapfunde received his lump sum amount of USD$13 003.34 and ZWL$14, 041 through his National Building Society (NBS) nostro and ZiG accounts. The court heard Mapfunde’s NBS account is linked into his Econet number. Between September 28 and 30, 2024, Dube and his accomplices only identified as Lucky and Jake acquired a copy of fake national udentity card bearing complainant’s particulars but inserted with his face. “Accused approached Econet Rushinga and used the fake ID to replace complainant’s Econet Sim Card. “Using the fraudulently acquired SIM Card, accused and his accomplices went on to download a NBS bank mobile application and linked it to complainant’s phone number in question,” the court heard. Furthering their fraudulent activities, accused and his accomplices who are at large went on to transfer complainant’s funds from NBS nostro and ZiG bank accounts into Ecocash account belonging to complainant, which he was now in their control. Thereafter, Dube withdrew money at various Econet agents in Harare. Furthermore, accused persons made ZIPIT transactions using a NBS mobile application by transferring complainant’s funds from the said NBS account into several mobile money services, and bank accounts which they had access to. On September 30, 2024, complainant experienced network challenges and visited an Econet Shop in Harare, where his line was re-activated. After reactivation of the said line, complainant assumed control of his bank account and discovered the offence. The case was reported at Harare Central Police Station on September 30, 2024, and it was referred to CID Commercial Crimes Department. Total value stolen is USD$10,000, ZiG $12,230 and nothing was recovered. *NewZW* *Bodies, Drugs Being Smuggled Through Beitbridge* A chilling criminal network, allegedly involving cross-border bus and lorry drivers, is working with corrupt law enforcement, customs, and health officials to smuggle undocumented human remains and illegal drugs through Beitbridge Border Post, one of Zimbabwe’s busiest crossings. Desperate families, unable to afford official repatriation costs, are resorting to these clandestine channels to transport deceased loved ones — often individuals who died in South Africa without proper documents. Bodies, disguised as regular luggage, are being loaded onto vehicles and waved through customs thanks to bribes paid to officials. An investigation by Check Point has revealed this morbid operation. Even more disturbingly, drug cartels are exploiting this practice, concealing narcotics beneath corpses to evade detection. The grim reality of this trade was highlighted at a recent funeral wake attended by this reporter. Misheck Musana, a 27-year-old Zimbabwean who died tragically in Johannesburg after crossing illegally, was repatriated through this illicit network due to his lack of documentation and burial society membership. A close relative, whose identity is being withheld, detailed the desperate measures taken to bring Musana home. This illicit commerce paints a stark picture of systemic corruption and a grave disregard for human dignity and national security, turning a vital point of entry into a haven for smugglers. “We had no money to process the papers and cover the transportation of the body,” she said, stressing the prohibitive costs that can soar up to US$3 000 for official repatriation from South Africa. “We hid his body in a bus trailer, and the coffin was wrapped with a blanket to look like any other luggage.” The family’s ordeal uncovered the mechanics of this grim trade. They paid US$500 to the transporters in Johannesburg. However, their journey was fraught with risk. “When customs officials at the border discovered we had a lifeless body without proper documentation, the transporters we used paid US$200 to let us go,” the relative revealed. In Harare, the deceased’s body was allegedly handed over to a funeral parlour working with the syndicate before being transported to Musana’s rural home for burial — all without the legally required burial order. Interviews with cross-border bus and lorry drivers revealed this grim practice has been well-established for years. One driver, identified only as Shutori, admitted to transporting human remains across the Beitbridge border since 2015, highlighting the deeply entrenched nature of this illicit operation. “It’s expensive to repatriate a body to Zimbabwe. The price for this illicit service can start from R5 000. Many Zimbabweans approach us to carry their relatives back home in our buses,” he said matter-of-factly. Sources said that this gruesome trade is fuelled by the exorbitant costs of official repatriation, which can reach US$3 000 (or R14 000 by road, R37 000 by air) for those without proper documents, compared to illicit alternatives as low as US$500. This makes the illegal route a desperate choice for impoverished families, particularly for individuals who died in South Africa without formal papers. Disturbingly, drug cartels are exploiting this practice, concealing narcotics within corpses to evade detection, with some even claiming individuals are being killed for this macabre purpose. Recent incidents corroborate these reports: in June 2024, three men were arrested at Beitbridge for smuggling pistols and Broncleer syrup hidden inside a coffin. Just two months ago, four cross-border transporters were apprehended for smuggling US$25 000 worth of drugs in an empty coffin using a fake burial order. As the Zimbabwean diaspora grows, the issue of repatriation is becoming increasingly complex. Health and Child Care Deputy Minister Sleiman Kwidini has urged adherence to proper procedures, warning against dangerous shortcuts and confirming awareness of contraband, including hard drugs, being smuggled in coffins. Though no official complaints about body smuggling have been received, authorities are well aware of coffins being used for illicit transport. Asked for comment, Police said they are still compiling information from relevant departments. *Herald* *Drug Courier Dies In Hospital After Swallowing Evidence* A suspected drug dealer reportedly swallowed a stash of drugs she had brought to deliver to a client after being cornered by police. The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, was rushed to Chitungwiza Hospital, where she died shortly after admission. Her death comes as the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) intensifies efforts to combat drug and substance abuse across the country. In a statement released Friday evening, ZRP spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the arrest of several people in connection with drug-related offences. The statement reads: The Zimbabwe Republic Police has intensified the fight against drug and substance abuse in the country. On 19th June 2025, detectives from CID Drugs and Narcotics, Harare acted on received information and arrested Josephine Tinarwo (55) at a house in Manyame Park in connection with unlawful possession of a huge consignment of Broncleer Cough Syrup. Josephine Tinarwo implicated Hezel Titya (39) and another suspect. On the same day, at around 2100 hours, the suspect was lured to Josephine Tinarwo’s residence. Sadly, upon arrest, the suspect swallowed some of the drugs she had come to deliver to Josephine Tinarwo. The suspect was referred to Chitungwiza Hospital where she passed on upon admission. Meanwhile, Grace Tagara (41), Betha Paakanengwa (31), Tadiwanashe Mandisodza (21), Patience Sithole and Rumbidzai Hlabiso (32) were arrested on 19th June 2025 at Mbare Cabins, Redwing Mine, Penhalonga for unlawful possession of dagga and Aliviador pills as well as selling beer without liquor licence. The Zimbabwe Republic Police applauds the public for supplying information in combating drug abuse and trafficking in the country. The public is urged to continue forwarding information regarding drug barons and suppliers through the National Complaints Desk number (0242) 703631 or WhatsApp 0712 800 197. *Heineken Loses Operational Control Of Facilities In Congo's War-hit East* Heineken has lost operational control and withdrawn its staff from its facilities in conflict-affected areas of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the Dutch brewer said on Friday. The beverages giant said in March that its operations in three eastern cities would remain suspended until it was safe to reopen, after some of its breweries were hit and its depots raided during fighting between the army and rebels. But on Friday, the beer maker said the situation had deteriorated further, and that armed personnel had taken control of its facilities in Bukavu and Goma - eastern Congo's two biggest cities, now under rebel control - and nearby areas. "The conditions required to operate responsibly and safely are no longer present and as of 12th June 2025, we have lost operational control," it said in a statement. Heineken's Congo unit, Bralima, still operates in other parts of the country not affected by the conflict, the company said, adding that it would continue assessing the evolving situation. The group owns four breweries in Congo, producing Heineken beer as well as other popular brands like Primus. The Bukavu facilities employed around 1,000 people both directly and indirectly, it had said previously. "Our top priority is the safety and wellbeing of our employees," its Friday statement said. "We have withdrawn all remaining staff from these sites and we have continued to support them financially." Nearly 14% of Heineken's total revenues come from its businesses in the Middle East and Africa, where Congo, with its population of over 100 million, is a large market. Its operations in the cities of Goma, Bukavu and Uvira had together previously accounted for roughly a third of Heineken's business in Congo. Fighting in eastern Congo escalated this year as the M23 rebel group staged a rapid advance that raised fears of a wider conflict. Congo says Rwanda is supporting M23 by sending troops and arms. Rwanda has long denied helping M23. The two countries and the United States said on Wednesday that their technical teams initialed a draft peace agreement that is expected to be signed next week. *Reuters* *Trump Says US Intelligence ‘Wrong’ About Iran Not Building Nuclear Bomb* United States President Donald Trump has said his director of national intelligence was “wrong” when she testified that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon and that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had not re-authorised the country’s suspended nuclear weapons programme. The comments come after Trump earlier this week cast doubt on Tulsi Gabbard’s March 25 report to Congress, in which she reiterated the US intelligence community’s assessment. On Tuesday, Trump told reporters, “I don’t care” that the intelligence community’s finding contradicted his own claims, saying Iran was in the late stages of developing a nuclear weapon. But speaking on Friday, Trump went further. A reporter asked, “What intelligence do you have that Iran is building a nuclear weapon? Your intelligence community said they have no evidence.” The president responded, “Then my intelligence community is wrong. Who in the intelligence community said that?” “Your DNI [director of national intelligence], Tulsi Gabbard,” the reporter replied. “She’s wrong,” Trump said. Gabbard appeared to come to Trump’s defence later on Friday. “America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly,” she wrote in a social media post. “President Trump has been clear that can’t happen, and I agree.” However, that statement does not contradict her earlier assessment that Iran is not building a weapon. No known US intelligence assessment concludes that Iran is weaponising its nuclear programme. It is extremely rare for a US president to openly contradict the country’s intelligence community, with critics accusing Trump of flagrantly disregarding evidence to justify potential direct US involvement in the fighting, according to Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara. “This is not just one person, one team saying something,” Bishara said. “It’s the entire intelligence community in the United States. That he would dismiss them … it’s just astounding.” Speaking on Friday, Trump also appeared to downplay the prospect of the US brokering a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel, saying he “might” support such a deal, while adding, “Israel’s doing well in terms of war, and I think you would say that Iran is doing less well.” “It’s hard to make that request right now. When someone’s winning, it’s harder than when they’re losing,” he added. Reporting from Washington, DC, Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou Castro noted that Trump was “really making a point that he’s not going to make an effort to ask Israel to ease up on its aerial bombing of Iranian targets”. “It seems that Trump is very squarely on Israel’s side as things are progressing, and … it appears that he is not leaning towards the diplomacy route, though, again, he is giving himself that two weeks’ time to make a final decision,” she said. Trump on Thursday said he would take two weeks to decide the US response to the conflict. Experts say the decision would likely be transformative. The US is seen as one of the few countries with the leverage to pressure Israel to step back from the brink of wider-scale regional war. At the same time, the involvement of the US military is seen as key to Israel’s stated mission of completely dismantling Iran’s nuclear programme, which hinges on destroying the underground Fordow enrichment plant. A successful attack on the facility would require both Washington’s 30,000-pound (13,000kg) GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator and the B-2 bombers needed to deliver it. Speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump also downplayed the potential role of European countries in de-escalating the situation. That came hours after Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met the top diplomats from France, the UK, Germany and the EU in Geneva. “Europe is not going to be able to help,” the US president said. *Al Jazeera* *Bayern Beat Boca To Seal Club World Cup Last 16 Spot* Michael Olise’s 84th-minute goal was enough to give Bayern Munich a 2-1 win over Boca Juniors in Miami Gardens, as the reigning German champions clinched a spot in the knockout phase of the Club World Cup. After a scramble in the penalty area, Harry Kane sent the ball back to Olise, who blasted a shot into the bottom left corner of the net. Boca had levelled Friday’s match in the 66th minute on a goal from Miguel Merentiel after Kane gave Bayern a first-half lead. Bayern (2-0-0, 6 points) faced a much stiffer test than in their Group C opener, a 10-0 rout of semi-pro Auckland City (0-2-0, 0 points). Boca Juniors (0-1-1, 1 point) still have a chance to advance, but they would need to rout Auckland City on Tuesday in Nashville and have Benfica (1-0-1, 4 points) lose to Bayern the same day in Charlotte. For Boca’s tying goal, Alan Velasco delivered a pass from midfield into space for Merentiel to chase. Merentiel beat Bayern defender Jonathan Tah to the ball, then rounded defender Josip Stanisic before firing a 12-yard, right-footed shot over the head of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and into the net. Bayern also produced an impressive goal. Konrad Laimer fired an entry pass to the centre of the Boca penalty area. Kingsley Coman knocked the ball back to Kane, who took a heavy touch but still reached the ball in time to fire in a 12-yard shot with his left foot. *Al Jazeera*
