LONDON – In a story that has left both Zimbabweans and Chelsea fans in stitches, 33-year-old Federick Zviripayi was arrested in the UK after allegedly squatting inside Stamford Bridge Stadium for several days — just so he could watch Chelsea matches for free. According to reports, Zviripayi somehow slipped past security last month during a stadium maintenance window and found a small storage room where he set up camp with a sleeping bag, snacks, and even a portable phone charger. Sources say he would quietly slip into the stands on match days, blending in with the crowd to enjoy Premier League games without paying a single cent for tickets — which normally cost hundreds of pounds. Security became suspicious after noticing the same face in the VIP section three ma
LONDON – Passengers on a busy commuter train were left speechless yesterday when Tendai Mavhunga, a Zimbabwean man living in the UK, boarded the train with a live goat and insisted it had the right to sit next to him. According to witnesses, Tendai told passengers the goat’s name was “Boss Gono” and that it was his “emotional support animal” — but instead of sitting quietly, the goat kept munching people’s handbags and chewing a passenger’s newspaper. The chaos reached new levels when the train conductor asked Tendai to remove the goat, only for him to reply, “In Zimbabwe, even goats have VIP rights!” The incident forced the train to stop at the next station, where British Transport Police escorted both Tendai and B

LONDON, UK – The UK gambling scene was rocked this week after 27-year-old Tapiwa Dube, a Zimbabwean national, was arrested for allegedly running a large-scale illegal gambling operation targeting residents across London and beyond. Police say Tapiwa’s ring took in over £500,000 in illegal bets through a network of fake IDs and encrypted communication apps, evading government regulations and taxes.
