EDITOR — Zimbabwe is faced with enormous challenges ranging from poverty, unemployed masses and their poor living conditions, to corruption, mushrooming of both shebeens and prosperity gospel churches and so on. This is all prevalent as the government continues to unconsciously spend or rather overspend in the education sector with a somewhat misleading notion that…
EDITOR — Can something be done to improve the welfare and conditions of service of security guards? Being security guards does not mean we should not lead better lives. In fact, in some countries, security guards are respected and well-paid because of the importance of their jobs. But here in Zimbabwe, we are treated as…
EDITOR — To think we are faced with severe problems due to the drought and here all our top officials spend all their time fighting one another shows clearly that the one and only thing they care about is themselves. I very much doubt whether any of them will suffer from the effects of this…
EDITOR — I write about what transpired on October 31, 2015 in Mabvuku at one of your shows where the fans were tear-gassed. I want you to know that I am a Dendera fan since the days of your father Simon “Chopper, Mr Benson, Mr Viscos” Chimbetu. When I see you perform the song Shura…

EDITOR — The early exit of Zimbabwe national soccer team — the Warriors — from the 2016 Chan tournament was such a disappointment. As a nation, we expected our team not to be eliminated in the early stages of the tournament but to at least proceed to the next round. My question now is are…
EDITOR — Many people have lost relatives and friends to HIV and Aids. Some children have lost both parents and it is their grandparents and other relatives who have to take care of them. Back in the 1990s, stigmatisation and discrimination was at its peak and most people did not care to know their status….
EDITOR — As schools open for the first term of 2016, I have noticed how some learning institutions are fleecing parents of their hard-earned cash by putting up atrocious demands. An example is that of a school in Hatfield that is demanding you pay $10 for their branded book covers among other things like a…
EDITOR — Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. This is absolutely true.
