Thousands attend Independence Day celebrations
Herald Reporters
THOUSANDS of Zimbabweans yesterday put aside their political differences to throng the National Sports Stadium in Harare and various provincial and district centres to mark the 32nd Independence Day celebrations.
The main celebrations were held at the National Sports Stadium in Harare where the leadership of parties in the inclusive Government, diplomats and Zimbabweans from all walks of life converged for the celebrations held under the theme “Indigenisation and Empowerment for Social and Economic Empowerment”.

Tobacco industry suspends three insurance companies
Elita Chikwati Agriculture Reporter
THE Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board has suspended three insurance companies and two others from the stop order system for duping farmers of their cash.
This follows an outcry from farmers over the deduction of large sums of money by insurance firms, transporters and other companies involved in the supply of inputs.
The suspended firms signed contracts with farmers promising to provide inputs or deliver services.
In most cases, the farmers never benefited from the inputs schemes, only to have their cash deducted after tobacco sales. TIMB chief executive Dr Andrew Matibiri said the affected firms will be named soon.
“We have suspended five companies from the stop order facility to allow thorough investigations.”
Dr Matibiri said a number of companies were taking advantage of ignorance on the part of farmers to dupe them of their hard-earned
