Climate Financing Gaps Alarm Experts
By Correspondent Parliament has been challenged to close critical gaps in climate financing after community leaders from Chipinge and Chimanimani presented evidence of resilience efforts that are working on the ground but remain fragile without stronger national funding and policy support.

CAB3 Voting Is Time For Rogue Opposition Elements To Pay For What They Ate
By Correspondent ZANU PF's tactic to force through Constitutional Amendment Bill No3 has been the gift that keeps on giving for rogue opposition elements. Finally the voting is here and ZANU PF, to the opposition's hidden shock, has pushed for a public vote. This is a scary scenario for all those who have been feasting on the gifts and now must pay. They can't sell out with plausible deniability. Or what looks like it! We all can and will see who voted for what. Trail of Benefits It has been a long trail of slurping up easy gifts as ZANU PF has been steadily massaging them for long. In 2022 Zimbabwean lawmakers and Ministers rreceived housing loans ranging from US$40,000 to US$500,000 each. Several legislators told VOA Studio 7 that they signed an agreement with government for the provision of the money to purchase stands, which will be used as collateral. One of the lawmakers, who declined to be named, said: "We need this money because we get a monthly salary of US$200 and no other benefits. …
