Letters to the Editor

EDITOR — I would like to respond to the ZBC public relations officers’s defence of the national broadcaster’s shortcomings. He thinks the broadcaster should actually be congratulated for a job well done in covering among other things the constitutional referendum,the president’s inauguration and the just-ended UNWTO conference. Well, congratulations ZBC for that successful coverage! But…

EDITOR — It has often been noted of old that, “Children are the future” but however, with all due respect to the old adage I beg to differ. Allow me to safely say that “Children (especially the youths) are not only the future but the now”. The Zimbabwean elections came and our astute and visionary…

EDITOR — While the people of Zimbabwe were practically robbed of the opportunity for leadership change, the mainstream MDC on the other hand continues to disappoint. We continue to wonder why they say MDC is now stronger. How can it be stronger when they clearly and openlymissed the chance to lead this country? How does…

EDITOR — With the speed we were forced for an election everyone thought Zanu PF was so ready to get things going. The blame game is finally over now that the government of convenience, that was being used as a scapegoat by our political leaders, has come to an end. Why all the delays in…

EDITOR — The situation in our country is becoming unbearable for the common man. Our political leaders should spare a thought for us the people who are working for their existence. The Spring revolution in the Arab world was caused by a number of frustrations  the people had endured for a long time. The people…

EDITOR — Load shedding is ruining business in the country. I was shocked when power outages accelerated in the Central Business District. I know that we are presently struggling as a country, but something has to be done urgently before companies incur heavy loses. There are some industries, firms and sectors that can not  do…

EDITOR — I find reports and rumours of attacks on Zimbabweans by Zimbabweans thoroughly vexing and disappointing. As a people we have gone through enough trauma, persecution, desperation, vagabondage and ridicule. We need time to lick our wounds and focus on the imminent future. The MDC have been posting updates on their Facebook page of…

EDITOR — Your story about MDC rejecting Cabinet posts made an interesting read. What was MDC spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora saying because some people told me that he is a learned someone —  is that true? If he is truly educated as we are made to believe, how come he seems not to know very simple…

EDITOR — I have been watching how council police operate and I feel the authorities must do something to protect ordinary citizens. While it is laudable that they maintain order and make efforts to de-congest the city, I don’t see any reason why this should cause deaths. If this is to go on, then nobody…

EDITOR — We register our disappointment and frustration on the chaos and confusion prevailing at a primary school in Marondera since May 2013 as a result of ministry of Education’s purported transfer of the substantive head who is refusing to vacate the school. The ministry of Education must come out clean and shoulder the blame…
