Edgars' full-year performance indicates a recovery and a strategic shift, with financial services becoming a key profit driver alongside retail operations. Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority Zimra is tightening regulations on imports. Political tensions are reported at grasslands plots, resulting in violent attacks and forced evictions.
