Bleeding fashion house faces US$1m financial black hole

Despite these challenges, there is optimism about potential recovery, with some investors showing interest.

The corporate rescue process aims to restructure the company, though it may result in job losses.
Chinhoyi councillors, mayor clash over town clerk suspension
Chinhoyi councillors have clashed with Mayor Owen Charuza over the suspension of Town Clerk Maxwell Kaitano for alleged gross incompetence. The councillors passed a resolution to suspend Kaitano, but Mayor Charuza blocked the move, citing irregularities and legal concerns. The mayor convened a special meeting, refusing to endorse the suspension and offering Kaitano a second chance. Some councillors feel betrayed by Charuza's actions, insisting that the suspension was necessary to address poor service delivery, not for personal gain as suggested by allegations of seeking residential stands on State land. Kaitano has directed all inquiries to the mayor.
