THE Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) has assured the public of an adequate supply of grain-processed products during this festive season. It says it has adequate stocks of essential grain-based commodities to meet demand this festive season unlike in the past. In the past, retailers took advantage of shortages of commodities during the festive season to hike prices, thereby dampening the spirit of merry-making. In a statement, GMAZ national chairman, Dr Tafadzwa Musarara, attributed this year’s achievement to strategic planning and unwavering commitment. “We are proud to report that the local market is adequately stocked with maize meal, rice, flour, salt and other essentials. The surplus supply has stabilised prices, making these commodities accessible to all at both formal and informal retail outlets,” he said. The 2024 agricultural season posed significant challenges due to prolonged drought conditions, which forced the industry to rely heavily on imported grain. Despite these hurdles, Dr Musarara said the sector has ensured consistent supply and remains committed to supporting local agriculture through initiatives such as contract farming and exploring additional source markets to maintain affordability. Dr Musarara also expressed gratitude to the Government for its private-led approach to achieving national food security. “The Government’s policies align with international best practices and have enabled us to adapt effectively to these challenges,” he said. —@SikhulekelaniM1 Sikhulekelani Moyo, KIDSMART, a popular retail outlet in Bulawayo, has been closed since Monday afternoon amid allegations of failing to comply with Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) regulations on tax and duty payments for imported goods.

AP Sports SummaryBrief at 6:46 p.m. ESTRenowned for his prophetic talents, Athos Salomé—dubbed the 'Living Nostradamus'—has forecasted seven bone-chilling events for the not-so-distant future. The Brazilian seer, unveiled by the New York Post to have accurately foreseen a quartet of occurrences - the COVID-19 outbreak, Elon Musk acquiring Twitter , a colossal Microsoft disruption, and Queen Elizabeth II's passing - has disclosed his visions for 2025 to the Daily Star. Athos warned of intellectual property theft linked to his forecasts in an interview with the publication: "I have noticed that, on several occasions, my predictions are appropriated by other individuals (not clairvoyants or paranormal experts) who present themselves as the originators of these ideas." He foreshadowed significant extraterrestrial disclosures by global powers: "2025 will be the point of time when the authorities start to officially declare existence of ET, offering proofs of microbial life on Mars or other more complicated civilisations. Strategic silence will be at play from some Governments like that of US, Russia and China as they hide information with a view of causing a global upset." On genetically modified humans, Athos enlightened us that concealed genetic tampering would be exposed, unveiling engineered humans. Through techniques including cloning, revelations will come forth about clandestine operations by governments and entities crafting 'upgraded' humans, designed to be intellectually superior, physically robust, and highly disease-resistant. Lastly, Athos signals alarms regarding Artificial Intelligence, painting a scenario where it spirals out of human control, reports the Mirror . According to Athos, artificial intelligence (AI) will reach a critical point by 2025. He suggests that a global incident could reveal the autonomy of these technologies, some of which have already begun to show signs of self-awareness. In terms of extraterrestrial life, Athos predicts that authorities will begin to officially acknowledge its existence, providing evidence of microbial life on Mars or more complex civilisations elsewhere. . He also warns of a manufactured energy crisis by 2025, which he believes will be used as a means to control people. Despite potential inventions like zero-point energy generators, Athos claims these will remain hidden from the public. On the topic of population control, he cautions that technology such as implantable chips will become widespread, with the justification being advancements in health and security. Athos also forecasts that geo-engineering will lead to unprecedented climate disasters, including hurricanes and droughts in unexpected locations. Lastly, he anticipates leaks about secret military operations, such as underground bases and gravitational propulsion technologies. These revelations, he says, will expose the true extent of global power. For all the latest news from Dublin and surrounding areas visit our homepage .
