2641 Out Of 2984 Women Tested Positive For HIV In Zimbabwe
The city of Bulawayo, located in Zimbabwe, is experiencing a shocking HIV crisis, as recent statistics reveal a staggering 90% of women tested for HIV in June were found to be positive.
The Bulawayo City Council (BCC), which reported this surprising data, has emphasized the growing severity of the HIV pandemic in the Matabeleland region.
Out of 2,984 women who were tested, 2,641 women received the tragic news they were HIV positive. This rapid rise in HIV cases across Matabeleland, with Bulawayo experiencing an unprecedented increase, has caused grave concern for the National Aids Council (NAC).

Douglas Moyo, the NAC Bulawayo’s programs officer, attributes this spike to the high mobility of the population in the region. Many residents work in neighbouring countries, particularly South Africa, and unknowingly bring the virus back when they return from work.
The BCC has responded bravely to this escalating crisis, intensifying efforts to provide essential health services across the city.
Clinics now offer expanded support, including cervical and breast cancer screenings, family planning services, and post-exposure prophylaxis for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.
Nurses and counsellors have also been trained in sign language to ensure inclusivity.
This alarming HIV crisis does not discriminate by age. In June alone, 195 out of 243 women aged 16 to 24 tested HIV positive.
Among women aged 25 to 49, 2,115 out of 2,172 were HIV positive, and in the older age group of 50 and above, 331 out of 569 tested positive.
Under Mayor David Coltart’s leadership, the council is working tirelessly to combat this crisis, conducting six outreach programs and screening 190 women.
Authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and proactive in their approach to HIV prevention and treatment, specifically given the critical situation in Bulawayo.

Once again, Nigerian singer Davido has made headlines for proving his status as a rich man with two luxury cars entering Nigeria: a Rolls-Royce and a Tesla Cybertruck.
The musician posted a picture of the trip on social media, his pure white Rolls Royce parked on the runway, ready for shipment.
Another photo depicted the Tesla Cybertruck being loaded into an aircraft to verify the truck’s arrival in Nigeria.
Cubana Chief Priest, another close associate and entrepreneur, also saluted the new cars with an Instagram image. He congratulated Davido on his feats, dubbed him the “GOAT,” and hinted at a festive December with new vehicles added to the singer’s collection.

Former Head of State Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd) has explained why he refused to align any political party in Nigeria.
Gowon, 90, announced on Wednesday, November 27, in Abuja while receiving the League of Northern Democrats (LND), which former Kano State governor Senator Ibrahim Shekarau leads.
The elder statesman emphasised his patriotism for Nigeria, citing his military background as a driving force for his commitment to serving the country.
“I’ve always believed in taking the best from all ideologies, be it socialism, capitalism, or others, and applying them for the greater good.
“During my time in government, we valued diverse perspectives, but decisions were always made in the interest of the people and the nation.”
The former Head of State argued that the North had to make sacrifices to alleviate fears of one region’s dominance, especially considering its size and population. He stated that the idea emerged from prolonged consultations with political leaders, chiefs, and diverse groups.
At the time, he stated widespread concern in the South about the North’s dominance, which nearly led to calls for independence from all regions—west, east, and even the North.
“If we had allowed it, what would we call ourselves today? We might have ended up with separate nations—Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, or otherwise. I hesitate to say more, as I might risk offending someone here.”
Gowon expressed sadness at the current challenges facing the North, such as the rise of groups like the Lukurawa from Mali, claiming that their activities have further exacerbated the region’s woes.

Gen. Gowon led Nigeria as a military commander for nine years, from 1966 to 1975, before being deposed by a military junta.
