EDITOR — Finance minister Mthuli Ncube must not make a mistake of continuously borrowing from the outside world. Right now we are told the country owes lenders money running into billions of dollars, but if we are to introspect what that money was used for, we might never find any answers.

EDITOR — I get disturbed whenever I walk through the streets of Harare and see youths’ rowdy behaviour. It hurts me more to see them indulge in activities that they know are deviant to our society and in some cases behaviour which puts their lives at risk. Excessive consumption of drugs has become a habit,…
EDITOR — The water situation in Harare has become so critical that many people are turning to boreholes for clean water. We all know Harare City Council’s inability to supply us with adequate water, but even with the best will in the world and adequate funding, resolving this matter is going to take years. [GoogleAd]…
Editor-It is sad that the issue of commuter omnibuses (kombis) and their drivers seems to be getting worse, with reckless driving and dangerous parking being on the increase yet this issue has been raised over and over again but with no solution in sight.

EDITOR — During the weekend, I was going around shops looking at inputs prices and I was shocked. A 25kg bag of maize seed is fetching up to $1 400 and to think that most people are not even getting paid that much at the end of the month is mind-boggling. If government doesn’t act…
As the situation in Zimbabwe gets more desperate for ordinary citizens by the day, dialogue is urgently needed between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Movement for Demo- cratic Change leader Nelson Chamisa. Ordinary Zimbabweans want to try anything to make sure that their situa- tion changes because many people are no longer able to afford anything…
EDITOR — For a very long time now, local authori- ties have been having a torrid time, battling to deal with the festering problem of garbage collection.

THE state of health delivery in this nation has reached shocking levels. The saddest part of it is that government is insin- cere about it all. Vice President Constantino Chiwenga is in foreign lands receiving treatment. Yes, it is important a person of his stature receives quality healthcare, but then it is disappointing that our…
