EDITOR — I board kombis on a daily basis to and from work and I must say, besides the fact that they are falling apart or the driver is playing music so loud that you can’t hear yourself think, the worst part are the lies. I do not understand why they have to lie to…
EDITOR — The fact that President Robert Mugabe rebukes one of his fringe comrades at a luncheon does not inspire confidence that corruption is going to be nipped in the bud. This looks like a sacrifice to critics. Is Godwills Masimirembwa not just another Chris Kuruneri? Time will tell. Surely, what is $4 million to…
EDITOR — I commend you on your story on the condition of Zimbabwean hospitals. Government has neglected this area for years. Several people have died from curable diseases like malaria, dysentery, cholera and even flu because either the doctors were on strike or there was no medicine.

EDITOR — It boggles the mind why national soccer team coach Ian Gorowa chose to play a very weak Warriors team in an international competition then go on to play the full strength team in a friendly match? Of course, we were out of contention to progress to the next stage of the 2014 World…
EDITOR — We should take our hats off to Zesa Holdings (Zesa) for scrapping debts owed by welfare organisations including orphanages. That is the way to go.
