EDITOR — I applaud the move taken by the Asian energy giant to create a solar farm so as to alleviate the current power shortages in the country. The country has been experiencing serious power outages which has negatively impacted on the industry. We have plenty conducive weather patterns in most regions of the country…
EDITOR – The Zimbabwean government is at it again. Busy splashing millions on the MPs whilst the ordinary people are struggling. Instead of spending millions on retreats why can’t the government use that money to improve service delivery. Now that the rains have come why can’t they even fix potholes at least? Potholes can be…
EDITOR — Water pumped into homes by the Harare City Council (HCC) is not potable and could soon cause an outbreak of water-borne diseases; a new independent test commissioned by the Standards Association of Zimbabwe has shown. The laboratory analysis carried out by SAZ confirmed the presence of harmful coliform bacteria in running water consumed…
EDITOR — For years, the whole world has been trying to promote gender equality. We have seen efforts aimed at the elimination of all forms of exploitation and abuse of women and the promotion of gender equality using the Millennium Developmental Goals (MDGs), through gender-formed groups and gender-based television programmes to mention just a few….

There is no doubt that if such an amount is injected in our industry, it would have a positive effect on its growth. However, I still question the need…
EDITOR — I would like to congratulate Zimbabwean designer Maita Marimo who recently took part in a fashion week in New York. I believe this is a good story for our girl children to know that the sky is the limit as long as one puts her mind to it. I am sure Maita did…
EDITOR ? The story about the intended destruction of over 10 000 houses in Chitungwiza must not be blamed on the government alone, but also on councillors and individuals who are greedy and desperate to build in areas that are not designated. I believe the Local Government ministry is right in ordering the demolition of…
EDITOR — I am referring to Ndaba Nhuku’s article, “Kenneth Hagin’s advice to Emmanuel Makandiwa’s followers.” Nhuku was, of course, absolutely correct in his first article with his sentiments regarding the worship of man; any man!
