How will Zimbabweans react to Zanu-PF move to extend Mnangagwa’s term to 2030

HARARE – Zimbabwe’s ruling Zanu-PF party has announced plans to begin the process of extending President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term of office by two years — a move that, if successful, would keep him in power until 2030. The proposal was formally endorsed at the party’s annual national people’s conference in the eastern city of Mutare over the weekend. Delegates instructed government structures to start work on legislation to amend the Constitution. According to State-owned The Herald, delegates argued that the extension would allow Mnangagwa to “complete ongoing national development programmes” aligned with the government’s Vision 2030 agenda. The conference adopted the resolution unanimously, describing it as a step toward ensuring policy continuity and consolidating the gains made under Mnangagwa’s leadership. Zanu-PF’s acting political commissar, Munyaradzi Machacha, told The Herald that the resolution formed part of the official conference outcomes and would be referred to the party’s central committee for consideration. “Our president has demonstrated exceptional leadership in driving national development. The conference agreed he should be supported to continue implementing Vision 2030,” Machacha said. Mnangagwa, who turned 83 this year, is currently serving his second and final term, which constitutionally ends in 2028. If the term extension is approved, he would remain in office until 2030, when he will be 88 years old. The move would require a constitutional amendment — a process Zanu-PF can initiate given its two-thirds parliamentary majority. While the proposal has been framed as a bid to ensure developmental stability, insiders and political observers say it also reflects deeper succession manoeuvring within Zanu-PF. Analysts quoted in NewsDay and The Standard suggest the move may be designed to delay the internal leadership transition expected to follow Mnangagwa’s retirement. Much of that conversation centres around Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, the former army commander who played a pivotal role in the 2017 military intervention that ushered Mnangagwa into power. Although the two men maintain a public image of unity — often seen together at official events, engaged in cordial and seemingly deep conversation — party insiders told The Independent that subtle tensions over succession remain unresolved. Some provincial leaders reportedly aligned to Chiwenga are said to be uneasy about the term-extension proposal, viewing it as a political signal that Mnangagwa intends to prolong his stay in office and postpone any transition discussions until closer to 2030. Political analyst Eldred Masunungure told NewsDay that while Zanu-PF has the parliamentary numbers to amend the Constitution, the political cost of doing so could be significant. “It’s a move that consolidates power but also highlights the fragility of the party’s internal balance,” he was quoted as saying. Supporters of the resolution argue that Mnangagwa deserves the additional time to complete the Vision 2030 economic transformation plan, which aims to make Zimbabwe an upper-middle-income economy by the end of the decade. They credit him with steering the country toward stability after years of economic turmoil and international isolation. If implemented, the constitutional amendment would extend Mnangagwa’s presidency beyond the current two-term limit, further strengthening his control over both the party and the State while leaving the question of succession — and Chiwenga’s political future — hanging in the balance. – IOL

BRS leaders expose poor condition of Basti Dawakhanas under Congress rule

Hyderabad: In a coordinated inspection drive led by BRS working president KT Rama Rao, senior BRS leaders on Tuesday visited several Basti Dawakhanas across Hyderabad and exposed the poor condition of the clinics including a lack of staff, medicines and diagnostic services. They accused the Congress government of large-scale neglect and administrative failure in providing basic healthcare services to the poor. Former Minister and MLA Vemula Prashanth Reddy, MLC Dasoju Sravan, and BRS leader Nandikanti Sridhar inspected the Basti Dawakhana at Shaikpet, expressing anger over its deteriorating condition. Prashanth Reddy said that the Congress regime had turned the once-efficient Basti Dawakhanas established by former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao to serve the urban poor, into neglected centres without service or accountability. He pointed out that diagnostic machines remained defunct for months, medicines were in short supply and patients were being forced to turn to expensive private hospitals. Former Minister and senior MLA G Jagadish Reddy visited the Basti Dawakhana at Vinayakarao Nagar in Borabanda division and interacted with patients and staff regarding the prevailing challenges. He also got a health checkup done by doctors on the occasion. He said the findings of BRS leaders during the surprise inspection, exposed criminal negligence in public health of the government and vowed to fight the Congress government until accountability is fixed. రేవంత్ రెడ్డి గారు ముఖ్యమంత్రిగా బాధ్యతలు స్వీకరించిన తర్వాత కాంగ్రెస్ ప్రభుత్వం అధికారంలోకి వచ్చాక మొత్తం ఆరోగ్య వ్యవస్థ కుప్పకూలిపోయింది. ముఖ్యంగా హైదరాబాద్ నగరంలోని బస్తీ దవాఖానలు పూర్తిగా సర్వనాశనం అయ్యాయి.@revanth_anumula “కెసిఆర్ గారి పాలనలో 149 రకాల మందులు అందించేవారు.… pic.twitter.com/6jLREUQpn5 — Prof Dasoju Sravan Kumar (@sravandasoju) October 21, 2025 At Vengal Rao Nagar, MLA Dr K Sanjay and former MLA Dr Methuku Anand said Basti Dawakhanas, which were once envisioned to provide doorstep care to the poor, were now suffering from staff shortages, irregular services and poor hygiene.

Kottarashky and the Rain Dogs @ Taifas 2025 Kottarashky and the Rain Dogs (Bulgaria) have performed at the Taifas Festival in Timișoara. Eugen Cojocariu and Radio România Internațional, 21.10.2025, 16:30 The Bulgarian musician Kottarashky (Nikola Gruev) and his band The Rain Dogs performed in Timișoara, on the stage of the TAIFAS 2025 Balkan Film and Culture Festival, on October 18. Known for their Balkan fusion style, they bring together jazz, blues, trip-hop, dub, breakbeat and traditional Balkan motifs. The band was founded by musician and sound collector Nikola Gruev (Kottarashky), who started from authentic recordings combined with electronic beats and managed to create a unique musical formula. The film “Balkan Black Box”, screened at the Taifas 2025 Festival, portrays Kottarashky, a former architect who abandoned the security of architectural projects for the insecurity of music.

Coca-Cola divest from South Africa

Coca-Cola HBC AG will buy a majority stake in Coca-Cola Beverages Africa for $2.6 billion (R45 billion) to create the second-largest bottling partner for the fizzy drink by volume globally. Coca-Cola HBC, founded in 1951 in Nigeria as the Nigerian Bottling Company, now headquartered in Switzerland, operates in 29 countries on 3 continents. The group will buy 75% of Johannesburg-based CCBA, adding 14 African markets to its portfolio. The group will represent two-thirds of total Coca-Cola system volume on the continent, covering more than half its population, it said in a statement Tuesday. It’s purchasing the CCBA stake from Coca-Cola Co. and Gutsche Family Investments, with an option to buy the rest within six years. The US drinks firm is moving away from the business of bottling after also selling a stake in its Indian operations this year. The companies expect to complete the transaction at the end of next year. CCBA was formed in 2015 as a merger of The Coca-Cola Company, SAB Miller and Gutsche Family Investments (GFI) bottling operations in Southern and Eastern Africa. It comprised SABMiller’s Coca-Cola bottling franchise, GFI’s Coca-Cola Fortune in South Africa, and Coca-Cola’s South African soft drinks bottling businesses. The merger was approved by South African regulators in October 2015, and CCBA began operating as a legal entity in July 2016. In October 2016, Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) announced it would be merging with SABMiller. In the same month, Coca-Cola Global announced its intention to acquire AB InBev’s stake in CCBA. Coca-Cola and AB InBev reached an agreement in December 2016 regarding the transition of AB InBev’s equity stake in CCBA, which was concluded in October 2017. CCBA is currently 66.5% owned by Coca-Cola, with the remaining 33.5% held by GFI. In April 2021, Coca-Cola and CCBA announced plans to list CCBA as a publicly traded company. The global group said at the time that it intended to sell a portion of its shareholding in CCBA via an initial public offering. As part of the new deal, Coca-Cola HBC plans a secondary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange “to underpin its commitment to both South Africa and the African continent,” it said. Possible job cuts The sale of CCBA follows reports in September that Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA) was planning to cut as many as 680 jobs and shut some plants in South Africa. CCBSA is the South African-based subsidiary of CCBA. The group confirmed at the time that it was consulting on the possible cuts, but stressed that no final decision had been made. Speaking to the SABC last month, the Food and Allied Workers Union (FAWU) confirmed receiving notice from the group of its intentions to retrench workers. According to the group, the company had cited financial constraints as a primary reason for the decision, with intentions to close plants in Bloemfontein and East London as part of a restructuring. FAWU said it received notice of a section 189 retrenchment process that would impact up to 680 workers, mostly cleaning staff. This is almost 9% of its 7,700 person workforce in South Africa. The union said that cleaning staff are integral to the food and beverage production industry. The SABC, which had seen the notice, reported that the company was offering separation packages to employees as an alternative to “forced separation”. CCBSA said that, should restructuring plans be implemented, “adjustments” to it operations could result in job losses. “In response to evolving industry dynamics, Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa intends to make adjustments to its organisation that, if implemented, may result in some roles being impacted and may, unfortunately, result in job losses,” it said at the time.

Save a huge 63% on this super light NZXT wireless gaming mouse, now just $29.99, if you're quick

If you're after a great gaming mouse deal, Amazon has you covered right now with a massive 63% off the NZXT Lift Elite wireless, bringing down the price to just $29.99. This ultra-light mouse is packed with features, and is also available in both black and white, with both models being on offer. While NZXT may not be a name usually associated with leading PC peripherals, its recent gaming keyboards, mice, and headsets have been surprisingly strong. I've used the NZXT Function 2 keyboard and OG NZXT Lift mouse, as well as the Capsule microphone and Relay headset, and it's all great kit. Now the next generation, including the Lift Elite Wireless mouse, is looking just as strong, especially at this price. Its specs have a lot in common with the gear on our best gaming mouse buying guide, and you get a lot for your money with this deal. The NZXT Lift Elite weighs in at just 57g, which is remarkably light for a mouse that contains a built-in battery. This battery can also last for up to 70 hours on a single charge when used at 1K polling, or 22 hours at 8K polling, according to NZXT. A 26K optical sensor is used in the Lift Elite, while optical switches are used in the lift and right click buttons, which NZXT says have a tight 0.2ms response time and 100-million click life cycle. The Lift Elite Wireless has a symmetrical shape, but is ultimately built for right-handers due to the additional inputs only featuring on the left side of the mouse. These can be disabled in the NZXT Cam software, which will make it easier to use if you are a lefty. Elsewhere in its design, the Lift Elite Wireless has two PFTE feet, one on the front of the mouse's base and one on the rear. Meanwhile, the DPI switch is rather awkwardly placed just below the sensor, but this at least means you can't accidentally activate it mid-game and throw your sensitivity out of whack. You can grab an NZXT Lift Elite Wireless for just $29.99 right now on Amazon, this is a 63% saving against the $79.99 MSRP. You can follow this link here to purchase yours. For gamers in the UK, the NZXT Lift Elite is reduced to £39.90 from its MSRP of £74.99, which is a smaller saving of 47%, but still a great deal given the specs of the mouse. If you want to upgrade some of your other PC gaming peripherals, you can check out our best gaming headset and best gaming keyboard buying guides for our recommendations of these products at a range of budgets.

SpaceX’s Classified Military Satellites Emitting “Mysterious Signal”

SpaceX’s Classified Military Satellites Emitting “Mysterious Signal”

SpaceX’s classified military satellites are emitting a “mysterious signal” that could be violating international standards, NPR reports. Experts told the public broadcaster that the Elon Musk-led space company could be flouting international standards set by the United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union. “Nearby satellites could receive radio-frequency interference and could perhaps not respond properly to commands — or ignore commands — from Earth,” Canada-based amateur satellite tracker Scott Tilley, who first spotted the signals, told NPR. Tilley accidentally discovered the unusual radio frequencies, which are in the 2025-2110 MHz range and are being emitted by at least 170 of SpaceX’s defense satellites. “It was just a clumsy move at the keyboard,” he told NPR. “I was resetting some stuff and then all of a sudden I’m looking at the wrong antenna, the wrong band.” The spectrum is usually reserved for sending data to orbiting satellites from Earth and shouldn’t be used for transmitting data from space. Tilley’s investigation into the unusual broadcasting led him to SpaceX’s Starshield constellation of Starlink satellites, which is part of a $1.8 billion contract with the Department of Defense. Apart from leveraging Starlink tech and “launch capability to support national security efforts,” according to SpaceX’s website, little is known about Starshield. Per the firm, the constellation provides “assured global communications to government users.” SpaceX has launched eleven batches of the secretive satellite since May 2024 on behalf of the National Reconnaissance Office. In short, plenty of questions remain regarding the constellation. For one, we don’t know why it’s emitting signals in such an unusual radio frequency. We also don’t know whether its transmissions could be interfering with other space-based assets. Tilley told NPR that it’s unlikely to have done any damage so far, given the lack of any public complaints. However, given the contentiousness of the radio band, SpaceX might be aware it’s crowding a forbidden frequency. “SpaceX is smart and savvy,” he argued, suggesting the company chose a “do it and ask forgiveness later” approach.

DeMeco Ryans and the Texans fumbled their fourth quarter in Seattle in more ways than one — and the clock is ticking for a 2025 turnaround

Three decisions in particular loom for Houston as missed opportunities in the final three minutes alone. Houston took a 1st & goal from the Seattle 3-yard line with 3:01 remaining in regulation. After an incomplete pass, the Texans chose to run up the middle with 2:55 remaining. They lost a yard and rolled a fully 40 seconds off the clock before their next play — and 51 seconds in total by the end of the play in question, a touchdown to rookie running back Woody Marks. Time management in that moment? Not great. But then the Texans, trailing by nine, decided to kick the extra point as compared to going for two with 2:04 remaining in regulation. Deferring the decision to go for two may be overlooked among the other mistakes, but doing so puts you at a strategic disadvantage later. Your two-point play is either going to succeed for fail. Should it fail, you would want to know with as much time left as possible in order to give yourself as good a chance possible to manage clock and also get the necessary possessions to score twice if needed. Houston Texans fourth-quarter miscues versus Seahawks in Week 7 Possession ends on downs inside the Seattle 5-yard line with 5:08 remaining Burned 51 seconds of clock in the final 3 minutes between plays in a goal-to-go situation Decided not to go for a two-point conversion with 2:04 remaining Allowed kickoff return to burn 2-minute warning and lose timeout Tim Settle called for personal foul for pile-jumping on a third-down stop in final minute And then there was the kickoff decision. Seattle was able to return the ensuring kickoff, which started at 2:04 of clock left, and burn 6 seconds, costing the Texans a down and a timeout on their ensuring defensive possession. Had no play result on the ensuing defensive possession change, barring Tim Settle's pile-jumping, Houston could have feasibly gotten the ball back with 1:10 left in regulation down eight. They never got the chance. And when you compound those decisions with a missed opportunity from Seattle's 3-yard line earlier in the fourth quarter, a possession in which Houston got zero points, DeMeco Ryans' team likely had a very long, frustrating flight home as a 2-4 football team. It was a hard matchup made harder by some decisions down the stretch. And Houston paid the price for it. As the gap widens between them and the Colts atop the AFC South, the question for the Texans now is how quickly they'll be able to learn for next time. window.addEventListener('message', function (event) {if (event.data.totalpoll && event.data.totalpoll.action === 'resizeHeight') {document.querySelector('#totalpoll-iframe-355').height = event.data.totalpoll.value;}}, false);document.querySelector('#totalpoll-iframe-355').contentWindow.postMessage({totalpoll: {action: 'requestHeight'}}, '*')

Nicholas Kawalya: 7-year-old St Julian Sports Academy youngster nominated in 2025 African Children of the Year awards

It is no mean feat to make any shortlist for a nomination during awards nationally, on the continent or globally. For Nicholas Kawalya, a seven-year-old midfielder of St Julian Sports Academy, his nomination in the upcoming 2025 African Children of the Year Awards has already drawn five-star applause. The Primary Three pupil of Juliana Junior School in Gayaza has been nominated in the Sports and Recreation category in the 7 to 13 years cluster. These awards will happen on Saturday, 22nd November at Profound Conference 181 Corlett Drive, Bramley in Johannesburg, South Africa. For starters, this will be the 7th time that such awards will be organised. The mother, Winnie Nantambi, is exceedingly delighted upon the son’s nomination for such continental awards. “Our biggest high as his parents is to develop his career and try to help him become a professional player.
