EDITOR – Last week, Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) commissioner-general Augustine Chihuri was quoted saying corruption within the police force was to do with how us parents bring up children and not necessarily a police force origination since they only have six months to mould a police officer. This was during the tour of police projects by…
EDITOR — The much talked about formation of the grand coalition among the opposition political parties in the country supposedly fronted by the former Vice President Joice Mujuru of the Zimbabwe People First party as leader and Morgan Tsvangirai of the MDC is a script on paper which is not feasible. The coalition will suffer…
EDITOR — It makes sad reading to hear claims by locals that the number of elands in Chimanimani Eland Sanctuary is fast dwindling amid fears of rampant poaching activities. Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) should get tough on poaching activities not only at the eland sanctuary but across the whole country, especially in…
EDITOR — I read with dismay that hospitals in Zimbabwe are running short of crucial drugs. This had me thinking how people’s lives will be saved if the hospitals that are supposed to help them run out of crucial drugs. Most of us were aware that the country’s public health sector was collapsing and getting…

EDITOR — The residents are right in rejecting the introduction of urban tollgates that were proposed last week by the Local Government minister Saviour Kasukuwere. The suggestion by Kasukuwere that councils should install tollgates to collect revenue is just unrealistic and unfair to the already over burdened motorists who are just trying to keep…
EDITOR — It has become a trend in Zimbabwe during the festive season that on our highways there many roadblocks that are meant to ensure public safety. Recently, I travelled by road from Harare to Murambinda, Chivhu and Harare and, as expected, I found many roadblocks on my way, but to my surprise I noticed…
EDITOR – I hereby write this letter to set the record straight on an article carried by your paper on 28 November headlined: Ex pursues lover, which I found to be defamatory and offensive as it was not what I gave your reporter during an interview. The article insinuated I was a gold digger and…
EDITOR — I applaud the government for resolving to reintroduce student grants which were scrapped several years ago. The move will go a long way in assisting students to meet some of their requirements. Many students have dropped out of college over the years owing to financial challenges. This will definitely improve the quality of…
