In today’s edition of The Brief Bulletin, we cover two major stories shaping Africa and Zimbabwe:
Bulawayo Tragedy: Police are investigating the suspected suicide of 37-year-old Andrew Sibanda, who was found hanging in his Gwabalanda home on 7 September. His death has raised fresh concerns about mental health, alcohol abuse, and the need for professional support services in Zimbabwe. Authorities are urging members of the public to seek help rather than resort to suicide.
Burkina Faso’s Visa Policy Shift: In a landmark move, Burkina Faso has announced the removal of visa fees for all African travellers. The new policy aims to strengthen Pan-African unity, boost trade, and ease the free movement of people and goods. This positions Burkina Faso alongside other African nations such as Ghana, Rwanda, and Kenya, which have already relaxed travel requirements to promote continental integration.
At CITE Zimbabwe, we go beyond headlines to bring you stories that matter — from the ZPRA Liberation Archives to untold accounts of the DRC War, and the voices that shaped our nation’s history. These are not just stories; they are the truths that define who we are as Africans.
We believe that everyone deserves free access to credible, independent journalism. No paywalls. No silence. Just the truth.
If you believe in the power of untold stories and want to keep independent African journalism alive, support us today.
