Whether Facebook Should Close Nadia TV or Not Lies in Local Laws and Leadership That Can Protect Its Community and Culture

By Albert Mpofu Facebook does not require an ID to open an account. Age is self-declared. This means any child with a smartphone can legally lie, enter Facebook, and be exposed to explicit content within seconds.

While Facebook claims to regulate content using its community standards and policies, these rules are complex, inconsistent and largely designed to reflect Western cultural norms, not...

Zimbabwe Workers Lack Confidence in ZiG’s New Currency, Notes ZCTU VP Mupamaunga

By Wezhira Munya   See attached vedio with ZCTU VP MUPAMAUNGA, Masvingo urban member of parliament advocate Mureri and Masvingo city Mayor Alec Tabe   The Masvingo District Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) celebrated International Workers’ Day on May 1, 2024, at Mucheke Hall, the oldest Masvingo City-owned hall in Masvingo urban ward 1. The event served as a platform for workers to voice their concerns and demands for an inclusive Zimbabwe free from poverty, corruption, and oppression, which was the theme of the 2024 ZCTU celebrations. The atmosphere during the celebrations was somber as the majority of workers in Zimbabwe are grappling with socio-economic challenges such as low salaries and the high cost of goods and services. The situation has been further exacerbated by widespread retrenchments and inadequate pension benefits for retired workers. The Zanu PF-led government’s policies have left many Zimbabwean workers in dire straits, and the stress-related problems caused by the tough economic situation are affecting a significant portion of the adult population. ZCTU’s national third vice president, Mr. Anesu Mupamaunga, was the guest of honor at the Masvingo celebrations. In his address, Vice President Mupamaunga expressed the lack of confidence that Zimbabwean workers have in the newly introduced Zimbabwean dollar, known as ZiG. He predicted that ZiG would fail because the people of Zimbabwe have little faith in its stability and value. The fact...
