EDITOR — It boggles the mind that sane citizens blame the police for chasing up kombis that run away from them for various reasons. A lot of lives are lost and a number of passengers maimed on a daily basis because of these reckless drivers, some of whom do not meet minimum requirements to drive…
EDITOR — Having discussed on World Happiness Day with young people and working with young people in Mbare District since 2010, we have on numerous occasions discussed the issue of service delivery and young people through the various platforms for discussion would like to bring to your attention the state of service delivery in our…
EDITOR — The government is largely made up of people who are over 65 years of age yet the Constitution stipulates that the pensionable age of a Zimbabwean is 65 years. We are shooting ourselves in the foot. A study of the top government workers shows they are past their retirement age. Infact, if they…
EDITOR — From the frying pan into the fire — this is the adage one can use to describe the clumsy manner in which the Patrick Chinamasa-led committee on State enterprises handled salary rationalisation. As a result, some parastatal and local authorities’ technical bosses are contemplating quitting and if that happens, this could spell disaster…
EDITOR — I was surprised when the beleaguered MDC said that the return of Job Sikhala to their party would strengthen them.

EDITOR — “Zimbabwe’s problems are unique” is a common refuge and refrain in habitual excuse makers. Are they really unique? Zimbabwe’s diversity of language, habits, religions, ethos and culture can be a reason for the chronic underdevelopment that it has been battling for the last 34 years. This diversity in fact, should be enjoyed and…
EDITOR — Morgan Tsvangirai is not a sacred cow in the party and he is not bigger than MDC. The party is an organisation which should continue to flourish even after the departure of any one given individual. We are not worried about change of leadership because MDC is not Tsvangirai. Our aim is that,…
EDITOR — Recently, concern has been raised over the huge police presence along our roads. The road that has one of the biggest numbers of traffic police is along Chiremba Road where one always finds not less than three roadblocks or police checks most of the time. We have police officers from different stations such…
EDITOR — Your story ‘Biti praises Zanu PF’ did not measure up to the ‘objectivity and accuracy test’. It had an unwarranted huge headline. Readers were like, Wow, what earth-shattering news! After reading the story one would realise the truth is that Biti was giving a very factual account of what Zanu PF did to…
