In today’s bulletin, we cover two major stories shaping communities across the continent: environmental warnings in Zimbabwe and economic relief for commuters in Kenya. City officials in Bulawayo have issued a stern warning to residents and traders against illegal waste dumping. The city reports that mounting garbage is severely damaging critical drainage and sewer systems, escalating environmental hazards, and putting public health at risk. Commuters in Kenya can breathe a sigh of relief. Public transport operators have officially called off their planned nationwide strike. This comes after President William Ruto announced a further diesel price cut of 10 shillings per litre, easing the economic burden on operators and citizens alike.
