Compiled and first published 15 Oct 2026 — this is a look back, not an edition originally released in June 2026.
7 carefully selected, sourced stories. Zimbabwean volleyball, netball, rugby, choirs and the unsung labour behind every performance.
From the editor’s desk
A country's sporting and cultural pride is not made by a single headline team. It is built in school halls, community leagues, churches, clubs and regional tournaments. This retrospective pairs the exhilaration of the Zimbabwe men's volleyball title with women's volleyball recognition, the Gems, the Sables and the choirs who travelled to compete. The competitions differ in scope, and the sources identify which results were national, regional or international. We celebrate those distinctions rather than flatten them into a fictional world championship. What about the person who washed the kit, rehearsed the choir or coached that team when no cameras were there? That person's contribution is welcome in the archive too.
