EDITOR ? I was disturbed to read about the three minors who died after receiving anti-bilharzia and intestinal worm vaccines. I believe this was a result of gross negligence and incompetence on the part of the ministry of Health and Child Care. As a concerned Zimbabwean citizen I write this letter to express my disappointment…
EDITOR — I need to register my concerns over the state of our hospitals. Several government hospitals are severely understaffed and lack basic drugs such as painkillers. We are approaching a disease-prone season where waterborne diseases will be on the rise. Government must immediately intervene before a cholera outbreak similar to the dreadful 2008 era…
EDITOR — The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) is greatly disturbed by reports that government intends to demolish ‘illegal’ shelters, just like they did during the 2005 “Operation Restore Order or Operation Clean Up” which affected over 700 000 Zimbabweans. It seems our leaders have a short memory. In 2005 they destroyed peoples’ homes,…
EDITOR — James 1:5-7 says: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. “But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed…
EDITOR — I would like to ask why we, truck drivers, are being forced to go for the so-called driving retest after five years. What confuses me most is we drive through the most dangerous terrains for example Marongora and Kapiri Ngozi with heavy loads, then we are asked to go to the VID for…
EDITOR — In as much as we do not want vendors putting up anywhere in the city centre, I do not think chasing and arresting them is the solution for a number of reasons. Firstly, this hide and seek approach that the council is using has proven a failure over the years. They have done…
EDITOR — While the Zanu PF government is busy bickering over succession issues and the recently-elected legislators are busy clamouring for top-of-the-range vehicles whose total value runs into millions, over 2,2 million Zimbabweans are facing starvation. And all that only a few months after these politicians have been elected into office on account of the…
EDITOR – I would like to add my voice to the parents’ ballooning disgruntlement over the new administration at St Johns Chikwaka High School. It appears they came in with the wrong perception that the current pupils have parents connected to their rival faction led by Bishop Kunonga. Some of what they do is bent…
EDITOR ?I am worried and cannot believe what the government has said to churches that they should pay taxes. Personally, I do not think that a church is a business but it is a place of worship and of doing charity works. In the new Constitution there is no section which states that churches should…
EDITOR — I understand the economy is in a bad state but milking money from the people is not laudable. Zimbabwe’s cities are not that big, such a system might work in America but it is likely to cause unrest in this country. The price of kombis is already too high for the average person….
