Zimbabwean billionaire Wicknell Chivayo, a close ally of Kenyan President William Ruto, has acquired a lavish US$7 million mansion in Harare’s upscale Gletwyn neighbourhood along Poland Road. The double-storey property, purchased in May 2024, was previously owned by former Zimbabwe Republic Police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri. It boasts luxurious bedrooms, a grand kitchen, multiple lounges, and cutting-edge amenities. Chivayo reportedly invested more than 2 million South African Rand in high-end furnishings through South Africa’s Norman Bakos Signature Collection.Known for his fleet of Rolls-Royces and Mercedes-Maybachs, the controversial businessman also owns another mansion in Chishawasha Hills. His extravagant lifestyle and close ties to several African presidents have cemented his reputation as one of Zimbabwe’s most flamboyant tycoons.

In 2018, shortly after President Uhuru Kenyatta signed the Finance Act that introduced new taxes and stringent austerity measures, the government issued a tender for air charter services — both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft — to handle the Deputy President’s official travel.Around the same time, the Uhuru administration withdrew Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) helicopters previously assigned to the Deputy President’s office and reassigned them to the Office of the President.Deputy President William Ruto rejected the charter arrangement. Instead, he privately acquired three helicopters, including a high-end Airbus H145 valued at approximately Ksh 1 billion. The aircraft was equipped with night-vision technology, which at the time was available only to the KDF and the police.This private fleet proved to be the breaking point. It became clear to President Uhuru that his deputy had grown too powerful to be effectively grounded.

I have heard that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and those goons are planning to come to Thika tomorrow to insult the President, allegedly in a bid to destroy ODM while being used by former President Uhuru Kenyatta. Let it be known to them that Thika is not Western Kenya or Kibera. They will soon find out who Mama Simba really is. We will chase them out of here like common thieves. If it turns ugly, then so be it. — Alice Ng'anga

Members of Parliament are pushing for a review of Kenya’s education and child protection laws to consider reintroducing corporal punishment in schools. The proposal is driven by growing concerns over rising cases of student unrest, including strikes, dormitory fires, and indiscipline in various learning institutions. The National Assembly’s Education Committee, chaired by Tinderet MP Julius Melly, has launched inquiries into school discipline challenges. Lawmakers, including members of the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA), are reportedly exploring amendments to sections of the Children’s Act that currently restrict physical punishment. Proponents argue that teachers need stronger disciplinary tools, claiming that existing student rights protections have in some cases weakened school authority. However, corporal punishment was officially banned in Kenyan schools in 2001. Any attempt to reinstate it would likely face significant legal, constitutional, and human rights scrutiny.

Dudukwe and his group are rapidly depleting Tanzania’s wildlife by hunting and consuming almost every animal they encounter. The Hadzabe people stand in sharp contrast. Unlike the surrounding pastoralist and farming communities, the Hadzabe neither grow crops nor raise livestock for slaughter. As one Hadzabe member once asked a journalist, “Why stand in a field all day and wait for weeks or months for food?” They are widely celebrated as one of the last true hunter-gatherer societies remaining on Earth. However, increased contact with outsiders carries serious health risks for both sides. Visitors can easily introduce diseases such as measles to isolated groups like the Hadzabe, often with devastating consequences. Because these pathogens have not circulated in their population before, they lack the immunity that most people take for granted. An illness that barely troubles us can prove fatal to them. By the same token, the Hadzabe may carry endemic bacteria and pathogens to which they have developed resistance over generations. Having long hunted and eaten baboons, monkeys, and bats, they have likely adapted to certain local diseases that could be extremely dangerous — even deadly — to unexposed

I support Femi-One’s attack on Otile. This habit of blaming the devil every time you fail in life needs to stop. Sometimes the devil is completely innocent. You fire your competent male manager, replace him with your clueless girlfriend, write trash lyrics, start singing like you’re having an orgasm on stage, and then turn around and blame the devil? Get the F out of here!

Controversial forex trader Onyango Tate telling people to "stay guided" while wearing a fake jersey is diabolical. The Anti-Counterfeit Authority should pay him a visit.

What started as fun ended as tragedy

Why is Ruto constructing a State Lodge in Imenti Forest when he spends so much time out of the country? Taxpayers are being asked to fund yet another lavish facility even though Sagana Lodge already exists just a few kilometres away. What exactly is the justification for this?
