In our fast-paced world, where hectic schedules and convenience often take precedence, it's important to prioritize our health and well-being.
One of the most effective ways to do so is through healthy eating. By making conscious choices about the food we consume, we can fuel our bodies with the nutrients they need to thrive. In this article, we will explore the significance of healthy eating and provide practical tips for incorporating it into your daily routine.

Eating a balanced diet offers numerous benefits that extend beyond physical health. It can enhance energy levels, improve mood, boost mental clarity, and promote overall well-being. Furthermore, healthy eating can aid in weight management, reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, and strengthen the immune system.

A nutritious plate should include a variety of food groups in appropriate proportions:
a) Fruits and Vegetables: Aim to incorporate a colorful array of fruits and vegetables into your meals. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants that support optimal health.
b) Whole Grains: Choose whole grain options such as brown rice, whole wheat bread, and quinoa. They provide essential nutrients and fiber, promoting digestive health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
c) Lean Proteins: Include sources of lean protein like chicken, fish, legumes, and tofu. Protein is essential for muscle growth, repair, and overall body function.
d) Healthy Fats: Opt for sources of healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. These fats are important for brain health, hormone production, and maintaining healthy skin.

Incorporate these tips into your lifestyle to make healthy eating more manageable:
a) Plan and Prep: Set aside time each week to plan your meals and prepare healthy snacks. This will help you make better choices and avoid impulsive, unhealthy options.
b) Portion Control: Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating. Use smaller plates and bowls, and listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues.
c) Healthy Substitutions: Replace processed and sugary foods with healthier alternatives. For example, swap soda for infused water, and opt for whole fruit instead of sugary snacks.
d) Pack Your Lunch: Prepare your own meals and bring them to work or school. This not only saves money but also allows you to control the ingredients and portion sizes.

a) Time Constraints: Prioritize meal planning and prepping to save time during busy weekdays. Batch cooking and utilizing slow cookers or instant pots can also help.
b) Healthy Eating on a Budget: Choose budget-friendly options like seasonal fruits and vegetables, dried legumes, and whole grains. Buy in bulk when possible to save money.
c) Healthy Eating is Boring: Experiment with different flavors, herbs, and spices to make your meals more exciting. Explore new recipes and cuisines to keep things interesting.

The importation of pre-owned automobiles that have been in use for more than a decade since their manufacturing date has now been completely prohibited. Individuals who bring such vehicles into the country will be obligated to bear the expense of sending them back to their country of origin.
On the 54th Statutory Instrument of 2024, titled as Control of Goods (Import and Export) (Commerce) (Amendment) Regulations, 2024 (No. 10), which was published by Industry and Commerce Minister Mangaliso Ndlovu , the previous requirement for an import license for older vehicles in 2021 has been removed and replaced with an outright ban along with a mandatory re-export provision.
According to the new regulation, "Second-hand vehicles aged 10 years and above from the date of manufacture shall not be imported. Any second-hand vehicle prohibited under this subsection shall be re-exported by the owner of the said vehicle at his or her expense."
However, the ban does not apply to the importation of commercial vehicles, tractors, haulage trucks, earth-moving equipment, and other specialized vehicles used in mining and construction sectors.
In his budget statement for the period of 2020-2021, Finance, Economic Development, and Investment Promotion Minister Mthuli Ncube explained that the prohibition on importing older used cars was implemented to reduce the import bill and support the domestic automotive industry.
Minister Ncube highlighted that Zimbabweans had spent approximately US$1.3 billion on the importation of buses, light commercial vehicles, and passenger motor vehicles from 2015 to September 2020.
"This is despite the local motor industry's capacity to assemble the aforementioned range of motor vehicles," he stated.
"Moreover, due to the lack of effective standards and regulations, unroadworthy vehicles that fail to meet environmental and safety standards sometimes find their way into the market.
"In accordance with the National Development Strategy 1, which emphasizes value addition, I propose the exclusion of second-hand motor vehicles aged 10 years and above, from the date of manufacture at the time of import, from the open general import license."
Consequently, each imported vehicle will now require a special import license.

A tragic incident unfolded when a teenage boy, who was on the verge of taking his O' Level exams, was fatally shot in the head. The shooter, Humphrey Gara, mistakenly believed the boy to be an intruder at a house where the boy had previously worked. Gara was found guilty of culpable homicide but claimed he acted in self-defense.
Following a full trial presided over by High Court Judge Justice Cathrine Bhachi-Muzawazi, Gara has been sentenced to an effective 12 months in prison. Initially, he was handed a three-year sentence, but one year was suspended on the condition of good behavior. An additional year was suspended on the condition that he compensates the victim's family with an agreed-upon amount.
The unfortunate incident occurred while Gara was at his mother-in-law's house, where he fired multiple shots that resulted in the unarmed teenager's death. Justice Bhachi-Muzawazi determined that the force used was disproportionate to any perceived attack, if one had indeed occurred.
The judge stated, "In our reasoning, a gun is a lethal weapon matched only to another gun or modern weaponry. In that regard, we made a finding that by discharging five bullets into the deceased's head, the accused exceeded any possible limit of self-defense, if any, and displayed recklessness and negligence in causing the death of the victim."
Furthermore, the judge noted Gara's lack of remorse, as he failed to provide assistance during the teenager's funeral. "From the inquiry, it was evident that he never made any meaningful efforts to engage or compensate the deceased's family even three years after committing the offense. Representatives of both families should have been involved to facilitate traditional compensation or restorative justice mechanisms. Additionally, the severity of the victim's injuries, with several wounds resembling bullet entry points on his chest and one on his forehead, further aggravates the situation."

The original deadline set by the Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council (Zimsec) was March 23, but it has now been moved to the first week of May.
