EDITOR — I do not have the words to describe my sorrow at the death of those 22 Zimbabweans in that mine shaft in Roodepoort, South Africa. And I do not have the words to describe some of our callous hardened, selfish, greedy, power hungry politicians and also other politicians in South Africa. If there…
EDITOR — I am amazed with Zimbabweans. People must not expect anything called action from this government. You must point out one prominent person who was jailed because of corruption in Zimbabwe. – All those fingered in the Willowvale Scandal are walking free, others are ambassadors in China, others are Speakers of Parliament and others…
EDITOR — It is amazing that an international media house like the Associated Press (AP) gives space to the former US Congressman who was recently deported from Zimbabwe over pornography charges and violation of Zimbabwe immigration laws. It appears anything about Zimbabwe is newsworthy to these international media. It betrays logic for AP to believe…
EDITOR — I was shocked yesterday when I read the your paper and learnt that junior doctors are earning $283 per month which is way below the poverty datum line. I really think something should be done to ensure that doctorsget better wages. The government claims there is no money but funny enough, recently, two…

We hope to see more aid coming to these homeless people as well as a speedy…
EDITOR — When I think of the struggle for change, Morgan Tsvangirai’s face pops up in my head because at one time he was the face of the struggle of change. He was indeed the exponent of the people’s evaluative viewpoint. Note that I am speaking in the past tense. This is because over the…
EDITOR — Coalition Against Corruption (CAC), the leading anti-corruption organisation in Zimbabwe supports the calls by Parliament that Joice Mujuru should appear before the august House and respond on her previous remarks in which she reportedly wanted the media to stop reporting on corruption cases. CAC believes that Mujuru owes the people of Zimbabwe an…
EDITOR — In my view Tendai Biti is too weak to challenge Morgan Tsvangirai. Promise Mkwananzi and Elton Mangoma are undisputed democrats who should be applauded for their bold stance on Tsvangirai. The future of the MDC does not lie in the hands of people like Biti, Nelson Chamisa or Ian Makone but in fair…
EDITOR — While several people would be awestruck by the amount Bona is likely to make from wedding gifts or the lavishness of the event itself, perhaps a few can spare a thought for the purpose and significance of the whole event. Bona is a very prominent figure in the country — being President Robert…
