#ZCUpdates : Lawyers representing Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, the son of Zimbabwe’s late former President Robert Mugabe, have dismissed widespread social media claims alleging that he was recently spotted shopping in Midrand, South Africa. In a statement issued on his behalf, the legal team described the reports as false and clarified that Bellarmine is not currently in South Africa.
The lawyers said the speculation was fueled by the circulation of an old photograph that was wrongly presented as a recent image. They stressed that the picture being shared online does not reflect Bellarmine’s current whereabouts and warned against the spread of misleading information that could damage his reputation. The statement seeks to put an end to the rumours that have gained traction across various social media platforms in recent days.
#ZCUpdates : : Zimbabwean music legend Alick Macheso has announced that he and his band will no longer perform at this year’s Silala Festival in South Africa, citing ongoing security concerns linked to protests and unrest affecting foreign nationals. In an official statement shared on his social media platforms, Macheso said the decision was made with the safety of his team, supporters, and festival attendees as the top priority. He explained that the current security situation in South Africa had created circumstances beyond their control, making it impossible for them to participate in the event despite having been fully prepared. The musician stressed that all contractual obligations and logistical arrangements for the performance had already been completed before the decision was taken. However, he said the safety and well-being of everyone involved outweighed all other considerations. Macheso also expressed his appreciation to the festival organisers for their efforts and thanked fans who had been looking forward to the performance. He further called on communities to promote peace, unity, tolerance, and mutual respect during the challenging period, emphasizing that music has the power to transcend borders and bring people together.
#ZCupdates : Zimbabwean comedian Learnmore Jonasi has secured a significant legal victory after a federal judge in Los Angeles dismissed a US$27 million defamation lawsuit that had been filed against him over a parody involving Disney’s The Lion King. According to screenshots of a Rolling Stone report shared by Jonasi, the lawsuit was brought by South African singer and composer Lebohang “Lebo M.” Morake, whose iconic Zulu chant opens the song Circle of Life in Disney’s The Lion King. Morake alleged that Jonasi’s comedic translation of the chant during an appearance on the One54 Africa podcast was defamatory. The ruling, issued on Friday, threw out the case, with Jonasi’s attorney, Bryan Sullivan, describing the decision as a victory for freedom of speech.

#zcupdates: King Mswati III granted businessman Wicknell Chivayo a diplomatic passport during an audience at the Royal Palace on Ezulwini in Eswatini on Thursday, Chivayo said. In a post on his verified Facebook page, Chivayo wrote that the passport was “meant to facilitate ease of travel and doing business in Eswatini.”
Chivayo said the same meeting also led to him being granted Eswatini citizenship. He said the king’s “most humbling instruction to his administration” resulted in him being granted citizenship “as the king accepted me as his young, fellow African son.” Chivayo added that the king took “keen interest” in his philanthropic work in Zimbabwe and across the continent.
Chivayo said discussions with King Mswati III included investment opportunities in Eswatini’s energy sector, where he said he offered assurances that his companies and “strategic technical partners” could mobilise capital and raise debt funding from local banks and pension funds for “bankable projects.” According to the story details provided, Chivayo has won state contracts worth nearly $1 billion in Zimbabwe through his companies Intratrek and IMC Communications, mainly in the energy sector, and he denies any corruption related to accusations of exploiting his proximity to power.
#ZCUPDATES : Tensions flared in Sea Point when a Zimbabwean man got into an altercation with members of the March and March crowd during a protest against illegal immigration.
#ZCupdates : In a massive law enforcement crackdown that has sent shockwaves through the capital, the Zimbabwe Republic Police have smashed a sophisticated underground bootleg liquor syndicate operating out of Harare. According to an official press statement, police forces launched a decisive raid on June 16, 2026, at a manufacturing plant situated along Brodie Avenue in the Southerton industrial area, resulting in the immediate arrest of four foreign nationals suspected of orchestrating the illegal venture.
The scale of the illicit network was laid bare as law enforcement uncovered a sprawling production line packed with high-end machinery and raw ingredients. Authorities successfully seized substantial volumes of raw ethanol, large quantities of already blended alcoholic products, commercial storage tanks, and industrial bottling and packaging equipment.
The total street value of the confiscated goods, machinery, and raw materials is estimated to exceed a staggering USD1 million, making it one of the largest counterfeit alcohol busts in recent memory. Investigators revealed that the hidden facility was mass-producing unauthorized and hazardous knock-offs of several well-known commercial spirits and beverages.
Among the products being pumped out into the local market from the factory were Bouncer Vodka, Kitoko Brandy, Challenger Gin, 8PM Whisky, Royal 69 Liquor, Sixer Banana Spirit, and Ice Cane Spirit. In addition to the foreign kingpins, police rounded up forty-two factory workers found operating inside the facility under highly questionable health and safety conditions.
Law enforcement officials confirmed that these individuals were working without any appropriate protective clothing and completely lacked the legally mandated food handlers’ medical certificates required for consumable production. In the wake of this massive operation, the Zimbabwe Republic Police have issued a stern public warning against the manufacturing and distribution of unregulated, substandard foodstuffs and beverages, actively encouraging citizens to flag suspicious processing operations or counterfeit goods via official hotline and WhatsApp channels.
#ZCupdates : The government has officially announced a revised minimum wage structure for domestic workers, which takes effect immediate This new policy establishes a baseline monthly wage of US$90 for domestic workers and yard workers or gardeners.
Under the updated guidelines, the compensation scales are tiered based on the specific responsibilities of the employee. Housekeepers and cooks are now entitled to a minimum monthly wage of US99. For those providing specialized care, such as child, aged, or disabled minders, the minimum wage is set at US108 per month. Furthermore, individuals employed as aged or disabled minders who hold a recognized Red Cross certificate will receive a higher minimum monthly wage of US$117.
This adjustment to the minimum wage requirements is intended to standardize pay across these critical service sectors. Employers are expected to ensure compliance with these new rates immediately to align with the government’s latest labor directives.

#ZCupdates :The current situation in StoneRidge is critical, with reports surfacing that thousands of families are facing immediate eviction as demolition crews tear down their homes. Residents on the ground are alleging that they received absolutely no prior warning or formal notice regarding these actions. A heavy police presence has been deployed to the area to oversee the ongoing operation, creating a tense and volatile environment for those being displaced. The land was auctioned to a Chinese national in the year 2017.
#ZCupdates : Controversy has erupted following a recent interview at CapitalK FM involving prominent figure Sir Wicknell, who has publicly expressed his “profound surprise” over social media rumors suggesting impropriety regarding his acts of gratitude. After what he described as a professional and hospitable interview experience, Sir Wicknell reportedly sought and received permission from General Manager Mr. Comfort Mbofana to provide lunch money for the staff.
According to a detailed statement shared on social media, Sir Wicknell offered USD 1,000 per person for the 30 employees on duty. Furthermore, he requested to purchase a Toyota Fortuner GD6 for DJ Phathisani Sibanda and a Toyota Aqua for another female employee, both of which he claims were approved without hesitation by the General Manager at the time.
However, the gesture appears to have met with significant internal resistance or a shift in station policy. Sir Wicknell criticized what he termed “unnecessary red tape and excessive bureaucracy,” arguing that such hurdles ultimately punish ordinary workers who have done nothing wrong. He maintained that expressing gratitude to hardworking citizens should not be treated as a grievance or a crime.
In a dramatic turn, Sir Wicknell revealed that since the original distribution of vehicles could not proceed as instructed, an alternative arrangement has been made. He stated that Madzibaba Chipaga of Enterprise Car Sales is now offering a brand new Toyota Fortuner for just USD 100 and a Toyota Aqua for USD 50 exclusively to the two affected individuals. He defended the move by asserting that no law restricts an owner from selling their assets at any price of their choice.
The situation has taken a personal turn, with Sir Wicknell announcing he is sending his lawyer, Mr. Sikhumbuzo Mpofu, to collect the remaining USD 27,000 from Mr. Mbofana.
