City Parking has expressed sadness over a fatal road traffic accident that occurred in Harare’s central business district and moved to clarify its position following public speculation linking the company to the incident.

The accident took place at the intersection of Robert Mugabe Road and Angwa Street and resulted in the loss of a motorist’s life.

In a statement, City Parking conveyed its condolences to the bereaved family and loved ones.

“We are saddened to learn of the tragic accident that resulted in the loss of a motorist’s life, and our heartfelt condolences go out to the family and loved ones of the deceased,” the company said.

The statement follows widespread discussion on social media suggesting City Parking had been involved with the vehicle prior to the accident.

The company dismissed the claims, stating it had no interaction with the vehicle at the time of the incident.

According to City Parking, there was no outstanding transaction involving the vehicle, no engagement with its enforcement officers, and the vehicle had not been clamped.

“City Parking had no involvement with the vehicle in question at the time of the incident,” the statement said.

The company said it issued the clarification to ensure accurate information is shared with stakeholders and the general public, and to prevent the spread of misinformation surrounding the tragedy.

“We issue this statement to respectfully correct the narrative surrounding this incident and to provide clarity to the public,” it said.

City Parking reiterated that its mandate remains the orderly management of parking within the city, aimed at improving traffic flow, supporting business activity, and enhancing public safety, while upholding transparency and accountability in all its operations.

Running out of airtime can be stressful, especially when you need to make an important call. Emergencies, job opportunities, family matters, and business needs do not wait for payday or for someone to top up.

Many Zimbabweans miss important calls every day simply because they have no airtime. A student may fail to call home, a job seeker may miss a chance to follow up on work, or a traveller may be left stranded without help. These situations are common and affect many people.

To solve this problem, NetOne has introduced a service called Reverse Calling (Pay for Me). This service allows customers to make a call even when they have zero airtime. If the person being called agrees, they pay for the call instead.

The service is simple and fair. When a reverse call is made, the receiver is informed and given a choice. They can accept the call and pay for it, or decline if they are unable to. If they decline, no one is charged.

NetOne says the service was introduced to make communication easier during tough economic times. Staying connected helps families stay in touch, businesses operate smoothly, and people access opportunities when they need them most.

Reverse Calling removes the frustration and embarrassment of having no airtime during urgent moments. It turns missed calls into real conversations.

With this service, NetOne is ensuring that no one is left behind simply because their balance is zero, and that Zimbabweans remain connected when communication matters most.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has summoned social media personality Dr David Nhunzva to the CID Law and Order section to assist with investigations linked to alleged misuse of artificial intelligence.

In a statement released on 25 December 2025, the police said Dr Nhunzva is suspected of producing and sharing AI-generated videos that allegedly portrayed the police in a misleading manner. Authorities indicated that the matter is being handled in terms of the Cyber and Data Protection Act (Chapter 12:07).

According to the ZRP, the law prohibits the creation, circulation or publication of false or deceptive information through digital platforms. The police said this includes the spread of deepfake videos, fabricated content, misleading digital claims, and the use of online platforms to demean, threaten or misrepresent individuals or institutions.

The police urged Dr Nhunzva to cooperate with investigators by reporting to CID Law and Order, adding that compliance would be in his best interest. The ZRP further cautioned the public against abusing digital technologies, stressing that it will take firm action against content that misleads the public, damages reputations or undermines confidence in state institutions.
