Cancer Care Funding: Zimbabwe’s sugar tax is already translating into health gains, with US$27 million radiotherapy machines being installed at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals to cut the cancer treatment backlog.

Mining Safety: ZDAMWU warns 2026 is worsening for mine safety after fatalities, calling for tougher compliance and enforcement. Agriculture & Livelihoods: Khami Prison harvested about six tonnes of tobacco from its project, and tobacco price pressures are being linked to structural issues in contract farming.
