EDITOR — Well done to Charles Manyuchi (pictured) our hyper-active, lethal and stinging boxing icon who has left the world in awe and his victim Russian Dmitry Mikhaylenko in shock and agony. As he broke the Russian’s unbeaten record, he showed that it’s not about pigment factor but his immense artistry as he showered the…
EDITOR — For 36 years, the majority of Zimbabwean workers have been waiting for the Zanu PF government to deliver. However, the government has not and may never deliver for it has malfunctioned. Like a driver trying to put a car engine that has ceased in motion without overhauling it first, Zimbabweans are still waiting…
EDITOR — Every time I read news on our prisons, it is sad that the media always report on the congestion in detention centres, with prisons filled beyond capacity. This situation over-stretches our prison facilities. It also draws attention to the various reforms that have been made in the criminal justice system, which include, among…
EDITOR — The plan by the Zanu PF government for a new Parliament Building in Mt Hampden, some 14km from Harare’s CBD, which is expected to start this year at a cost of $146 million is a case of misplaced priorities. Surely, do we really need it? Zimbabweans, do we need a new Parliament building…
EDITOR — I write in response to the pre-paid water metres to be installed starting from mid-May 2016 in Harare. Hopefully, the idea will be implemented countrywide. The pre-paid water system has come as an advantage. The system is normally made up of point of sale units, token cards or prepayment meters. This enables us…
EDITOR — Local Government minister and Zanu PF political commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere’s reasons for the suspension of Harare mayor Bernard Manyenyeni emanate from the recent appointment of James Mushore by the City of Harare councillors as town clerk. The basis for his suspension is in terms of section 114 (1) (d) (ii) of the Urban…
EDITOR — I was saddened by the recent clumsiness depicted by the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) when they showed a photoshopped picture of Mbuya Nehanda and the once infamous “tezvara” aka uncle Barnabas. Surely, someone is employed to look into what is aired on the news, especially prime time news. How can the producer, video…
EDITOR — Zanu PF has now gone to the extremes. In their quest to cling on to power at all costs, they have now resorted to intolerable actions and activities. In light of this, I believe it is time for the opposition to rally the masses behind them. The opposition preaches the same goals of…
EDITOR — I strongly condemn the shocking and reckless announcement made over the weekend by the Youth, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment minister, Patrick Zhuwao that government will from April 1 close all foreign-owned companies that fail to pay empowerment levies. Records show that the majority of companies have failed to comply with the Indigenisation and…
EDITOR — The recent launch of a new opposition party, Zimbabwe People First (ZPF), led by former Vice President Joice Mujuru has brought a ray of hope for the formation of a grand coalition of opposition parties to dislodge Zanu PF from power. It is true when they say forced marriages will never materialise. Those…
