The other suspect, Sitshengisiwe Ndlovu (46) was later arrested at Bulawayo Police Station, where she had visited her husband.
Police investigations revealed that processing of the purported employment opportunities was promised within three weeks following the payment of US$4,000, with interviews conducted via WhatsApp.
The suspects would then give the complainants excuses after the waiting period lapsed.
Some 46 victims fell for the scam and were defrauded approximately $134 552 in total.
Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi urged the public to exercise caution and thoroughly research individuals and employment agencies claiming to assist with job placements abroad.

DOYLESTOWN, PA — In a federal civil rights lawsuit filed against the Central Bucks School District, a middle school teacher is claiming that district administrators began retaliating against him last year for advocating for a transgender student who was being harassed and bullied.
In March 2022, the teacher, Andrew Burgess, filed a complaint at the behest of a transgender student and his family with the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR) after he said administrators failed to address repeated harassment by classmates.
In his suit, Burgess said the district responded by suspending him in May and informing him that his employment status was under review. He was then reassigned from Lenape Middle School, where he had taught since 2006, to Unami Middle School just days before the start of the 2022-23 school year.
Burgess said new assignment included switching him from teaching eighth grade to seventh, new course material, and an increase in the number of students in his classes.
Burgess said in the suit that he also opposed apparent efforts to censor teachers’ classroom library materials that dealt with LGBTQ+ themes. He expressed his concerns to district leaders multiple times, and, when his building principal sought to meet individually with teachers who maintained a classroom library in March 2022, Burgess, who is a union leader, suggested that the principal instead held a group meeting with teachers on the issue.
“When a struggling student came to me, I did what we should want any teacher to do. I advocated for that student, as I had for numerous students in the past,” Burgess said. “That’s why teachers get into this work, to support, guide, and nurture our students.
The lawsuit states that the district has violated both the First Amendment and Title IX, by…

Hornets, Keep this Storm in Charlotte
Hornets fans, there’s a storm that I really hope never leaves Charlotte. The storm I speak of brings guidance, advice, maturity, and leadership to our very young team. What storm is this that I speak of? It’s none other than T$unami Papi, aka Kelly Oubre!
With an organization like the Hornets, it seems as though we always talk about things the team needs, and half the time, our needs are already here. In this particular case, we always talk about when we have a team full of young talent, we need a young veteran that can be a leader, mentor, and friend for these young guys. We have always seemed to get veterans on the team to mix with the youth, but not always the young vets that can relate to the young players.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe that veterans on a team of youth are a good thing. There’s something about having a guy that’s a few years older than the rookies and sophomores, that have been in the league for a few years, that can help develop those guys into key parts of the team. In an interview Kelly had post-game, he spoke of Kai Jones needing to get on the court, make mistakes, and learn from them. He talked about Kai getting to figure out what parts of his game to perfect, as well as other aspects that he needs to work on improving.
I mention this because Kelly has grown and matured on this team. He speaks like a vet, like a coach, and like a player that has “been there and done that.” Kelly has point-blank said he wants to remain a Hornet.
In my last post, I mentioned some of the free agents we will have at the end of the…

Background
The electoral process is a multi-stakeholder engagement process, and for the success of any election, each stakeholder, including civil society organizations (CSOs), in addition to the electoral management bodies (EMBs), has a crucial role to play. One of the major roles of civil society organizations is voter education.
In the context of the Kurdistan region, several elections have been held since 1992. While these elections have regularly and periodically been held, are generally considered credible by national and international observers, there are certain concerns remain about the transparency and integrity of the electoral process, including low voter turnout, which highlights the need for more emphasis on voter education.
Voter education is the process of informing and educating voters on various aspects of the elections, enabling and empowering them to make informed decisions during the electoral process. Moreover, giving voters the right information at the right time is key to a successful election. Therefore, educating voters on their rights and responsibilities in the electoral process is crucial. Voter education campaigns can help increase voter turnout and encourage voters to make informed decisions. These campaigns can be more effective if conducted through collaboration between the EMB and other relevant stakeholders, such as civil society organizations.
With the aim of thoroughly examining the electoral challenges in the Kurdistan Region and recommending measures to overcome such challenges through workshops in collaboration with civil society organizations, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) Office of Electoral Assistance (OEA), in coordination with the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), planned a series of workshops to create a platform for CSOs to discuss various electoral themes, including electoral integrity, voter registration, strategies for voter education, and empowering citizens to make informed voting decisions. The first workshop was held from March 14-15 in Sulamaniyah,…
Alex O’Donnel, the chief executive officer of Umami Finance, has reportedly traded his holdings in $UMAMI tokens. A conversation on the platform’s discord channel indicates that the team of Umami Labs LLC has resigned because of the action made by the founder of the project. The treasury assets of the protocol are presently secure as well as in the team’s control.
Alex O’Donnell Reportedly Trades His Holdings in UMAMI Token, Leading to a Value Decline
The team has a strategy to take the protocol to a DAO system and decentralization. In this way, the treasury assets of the protocol are in the multi-sig’s control and the Umami DAO as well as the token holders’ direction would be now followed in this respect. The team has a strategy to step ahead with a decentralized autonomous organization structure. Hence, the vaults will be released as scheduled with the use of the Umami token.
At present, the control of the cost code base as well as the vault products is retained by Umami DAO. Umami Finance is known as a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol. The platform provides yield vaults. These products provide risk-hedged and real profits on the crypto assets including Ether (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), and USDC. As noted on the official website of the protocol, its yield vaults can be used to gain risk-hedged as well as sustainable crypto yields.
The Token Price Recovers from $7 to $13
The project is categorized among the top players involved in developing risk-neutral vault related to GLP. GLP is the liquidity token of a derivative protocol named GMX. The token of the protocol has witnessed a vertical decline of more than 50% in its value. The present value of the token is $13 which has…
