Unvaccinated congregants can now attend church services without fear of arrest following a High Court ruling by Judge David Mangota. The ruling came after human rights lawyer Obert Kondongwe challenged the government's directive barring unvaccinated individuals from attending church services, arguing it was discriminatory and unconstitutional. The court dismissed the government's directive as null and void, setting aside any criminal proceedings against unvaccinated congregants. The case involved several high-profile government officials as respondents.

Zimbabwe is estimated to have lost over US$10 billion to public procurement corruption in the past five years, with significant losses in sectors such as agriculture and transportation. High-profile cases include the firing of Health Minister Obadiah Moyo over a corrupt US$60 million contract and the arrest of Parliament Clerk Kennedy Chokuda for overpriced laptop procurement. Transparency International-Zimbabwe and the Zimbabwe Coalition on Debt and Development criticize the lack of transparency and accountability in procurement processes. The government's recent secretive procurement notice was withdrawn after public outcry. Recommendations include strengthening laws, empowering anti-corruption bodies, and implementing e-procurement systems.
