@petitamwanza "Givemore, Best, Promise, Guarantee, Anxious, Innocent, Confidence and Hardlife are among dozens of names that might attract attention elsewhere, but not in Zimbabwe.
For many, the names are seen with pride and even as something to live up to."

@petitamwanza "Have-A-Look. Handsome. Thanks. Trust. Notice. Privilege. Doubt. Problem. Shame. In Zim,these aren’t just random words.They are names chosen with intention in a culture where naming a child goes beyond identity and can offer a snapshot of family history,emotion and circumstance."

Worldwide, women hold just 64% of the legal rights enjoyed by men.

When we are not equal under the law, we are not equal.

We must fight discriminatory laws & practices to ensure justice, dignity, opportunity & freedom for women & girls everywhere.

Zambian CSOs ask for accountability on the ZAMBIA- USA Health MOU.

[LCK Freedom Foundation @FreedomLck]

JOINT CSO PRESS STATEMENT ON THE REFUSAL BY THE ZAMBIAN GOVERNMENT TO DISCLOSE THE ZAMBIA-US HEALTH AID MOU

The Zambian people deserve answers.
@FreedomLck LCK Freedom Foundation, @CofZambia, @ZambiaAsks, and Transparency International Zambia calling on Government to publish the Zambia–US Health Aid MoU and the related Bilateral Compact Agreement.

Silence on agreements affecting our health system & mineral resources is unacceptable.

We will persist until there is full transparency.

[EU Delegation to Zimbabwe 🇪🇺 @euinzim]

We thank @HeraldZimbabwe for their report. However, the article conveys a misleading interpretation of the #EU 🇪🇺Ambassador’s remarks.

The EU Ambassador had underscored that Constitutional amendments are a sovereign prerogative and raise no concerns when undertaken in full accordance with both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution reflecting the will of the people.

The remarks were intended to reaffirm principles of Constitutional fidelity and democratic legitimacy.

Lion DNA has been used to successfully prosecute poachers for the first time in the world. Wildlife crime experts revealed how they identified a missing animal's parts found in a suspect's village, by matching them to a profile on Zimbabwe's lion database.

Sweden is investing more than $110 million to bring printed textbooks back into classrooms.

After years of pushing digital learning, the Swedish government is reducing screen use in schools and renewing its focus on physical books. Over the past decade, many schools replaced textbooks with laptops and tablets, moving lessons, homework, grading, and parent communication almost entirely online.

During this period, student performance declined. Results from international assessments such as the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment showed drops in reading, math, and science, prompting officials to reconsider the role of screens in learning.

Research indicates that reading on digital displays can demand more mental effort than reading on paper, especially for younger students. Screens also introduce more distractions, and studies have linked heavy digital use to reduced comprehension and memory retention.

In response, Sweden allocated €60 million in 2023 to restore printed textbooks, with another €44 million planned through 2025. The aim is to ensure every student has a physical textbook for each subject.

Officials stress that technology isn’t being removed from schools, but repositioned as a support tool rather than the default. Printed books are now prioritized for core learning, particularly reading.

While Sweden remains highly tech-advanced, this policy shift reflects a growing global debate: whether more technology automatically leads to better education.

Sorry ladies to burst your bubble... please rethink on some braids, extensions and wigs. Your health comes first. See journal findings 😢

[NBC News @NBCNews]

The same chemicals found in pipes, pesticides and floor tiles are also present in some wigs, braiding hair and hair extensions, a new study published in the journal Environment & Health finds. https://t.co/oh2uFxTVcP

@teldah @SAPESTrust10 I was a little annoyed that my fellow panelists didn’t see the urgency. This is why we can’t lose the commission.
