Members of the Zimbabwe Nurses Association have opted for a 72-hour stay-away instead of planned public demonstrations amid claims that nurses were intimidated and discouraged from protesting publicly. The stay-away, however, is already raising serious concerns about its impact on patient care, with fears that disruptions in services could put lives at risk. The government, on the other hand, maintains that limited revenue collection and budget constraints make it difficult to meet the demands of civil servants, including healthcare workers. We spoke to Zimbabwean activist, General Sithole.

The Supreme Court of Appeal has dismissed the Road Accident Fund's appeal with costs. The court confirmed undocumented foreign nationals can claim from the Fund, upholding a 2024 High Court ruling. Judges said Section 17(1) of the RAF Act covers "any person" and does not exclude claimants based on immigration status. The case followed a 2022 RAF directive demanding stamped passports, which was found to be unlawful. We spoke to Alan Beesley, ActionSA Member of Parliament.
