WATCH: Trouble over dubious ownership of “big toys” HARARE - Authorities are stopping luxury vehicles in Harare to verify whether they are in the country legally and properly documented. The operation has been going on for days, with authorities believed to be involving the Vehicle Theft Squad (VTS) and other stakeholders. This follows fears of illegal vehicle smuggling, with some owners allegedly failing to properly purchase their vehicles and forging documents. Dozens of vehicles have been stopped since yesterday along Enterprise Road, Lomagundi Road and in Belgravia, where witnesses say “they are pulling out only expensive vehicles.” What the authorities may be looking out for: • Smuggling Rings: Vehicles are being brought into Zimbabwe without proper declaration, often passing through neighbouring countries before entering the local market. • TIP Abuse: Individuals are exploiting Temporary Importation Permits (TIPs) — meant for visiting foreign-registered vehicles — to permanently keep luxury cars in the country without paying duty. • Document Forgery: Scammers are forging customs clearance and registration paperwork to secure local number plates illegally. — ZiFM Stereo News continues to provide dependable, fact-based reporting from Zimbabwe and beyond.

WHO delivers health supplies to Al-Shifa Hospital, appeals for continued access to address urgent needs in north #Gaza WHO staff participated in a joint UN mission to Al-Shifa Hospital in north Gaza on 16 December to deliver health supplies and assess the situation in the facility. Partners on today’s mission included OCHA, UNDSS, and UNMAS. The team delivered medicines and surgical supplies, orthopedic surgery equipment, and anesthesia materials and drugs to the hospital. Al-Shifa Hospital, currently minimally functional, needs to urgently resume at least basic operations to continue serving the thousands in need of lifesaving health care.Once the most important and largest referral hospital in Gaza, Al-Shifa now houses only a handful of doctors and a few nurses, together with 70 volunteers, working under what WHO staff described as “unbelievably challenging circumstances" and calling it a “hospital in need of resuscitation.” The operating theatres and other major services remain nonfunctional due to a lack of fuel, oxygen, specialized medical staff, and supplies. The hospital is only able to provide basic trauma stabilization, has no blood for transfusion, and hardly any staff to care for the constant flow of patients. Dialysis is being provided to approximately 30 patients a day, with the dialysis machines operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, using a small generator.The team described the emergency department as a “bloodbath”, with hundreds of injured patients inside and new patients arriving every minute. Patients with trauma injuries were being sutured on the floor, and limited to no pain management is available at the hospital. WHO staff said that the emergency department is so full that care must be exercised to not step on patients on the floor. Critical patients are being transferred to Al-Ahli Arab Hospital for surgeries. Tens of thousands of displaced people are using the hospital building and grounds for shelter. A multi-pronged humanitarian response is needed to provide them with food, water and shelter. Many of them asked our team to tell the world what is happening in the hope that their suffering might soon be eased. Al-Shifa Hospital continues to experience a severe shortage of food and safe water for health workers, patients, and displaced people. This reflects grave and growing concerns around persistent hunger across the Gaza Strip, and the consequences of malnutrition on people’s health and susceptibility to infectious diseases. WHO is committed to strengthening Al-Shifa Hospital in the coming weeks, so that it can resume at least basic functionality and continue to provide the lifesaving services that are needed at this critical time. Up to 20 operating theatres in the hospital, as well as post-operative care services, can be activated if provided with regular supplies of fuel, oxygen, medicines, food, and water. Substantial additional specialized medical, nursing and support staff, including emergency medical teams, are also urgently needed.Currently, Al-Ahli Arab Hospital remains the only partially functional hospital in north Gaza, along with three minimally functional hospitals—Al-Shifa, Al Awda and Al Sahaba Medical Complex—down from 24 before the conflict. WHO is also gravely concerned about the unfolding situation at Kamal Adwan Hospital and is gathering information urgently. As hostilities continue and health needs across the Gaza Strip increase, Al-Shifa Hospital, a cornerstone of Gaza’s health system, must be urgently restored so that it can serve besieged people trapped in a cycle of death, destruction, hunger, and disease.

Sikhala arrested after Zanu PF warning • Marapira warning becomes reality HARARE – Four days after Zanu PF Director of Information Farai Marapira warned that Job Sikhala and Tendai Biti were scheming to cause chaos, Sikhala has been arrested in South Africa after police allegedly found explosives in his car. The 53-year-old former legislator was detained in Pretoria and is being held at the city’s main police station. He was reportedly arrested moments after meeting a group claiming to represent former DRC president Joseph Kabila’s party, who had offered to support his democracy campaign in Zimbabwe. Pictures circulating online show Sikhala sitting in handcuffs on a roadside barrier, with an elderly man believed to have been with him. Another photo shows what appears to be explosives wrapped in a yellow plastic bag. In an interview earlier this week, Marapira issued a blistering warning against Sikhala and Biti, accusing them of living off political instability and chaos. “These people have never written a single letter calling for dialogue, and I do not believe they ever will because they feed off chaos,” Marapira said. “When there is political violence, that is when they feed their families. They get neo-imperialist funding to cause destabilization at the cost of the people in the streets and the country’s economic progress.” He said the two opposition figures had “never been sincere in seeking a true Zimbabwean solution,” claiming they “prosper when there is confusion and collapse when there is peace.” Days before the arrest, Marapira had also vowed that those plotting unrest “under the pretext of defending the constitution” would be “met head-on and crushed.” Video & Reporting by Anesu Masamvu | ZiFM Stereo News — Join our WhatsApp Channel and be part of a growing community that relies on ZiFM Stereo News for fast, accurate, and credible updates from Zimbabwe and beyond.
