HARARE – Recent threats by Local Government deputy minister, Joel Biggie Matiza to repossess undeveloped stands on the premise that this denies local authorities revenue essential for enhanced urban development seem misdirected. If the threat is carried out, it opens opportunities for predator land barons to amass more land at the expense of poor home-seekers….
EDITOR — I rally behind the government’s proposal to buy buses in order to replace commuter omnibuses currently plying the nation’s roads as public passenger vehicles. Although it sounds a good idea, our current economic situation will not allow that to happen anytime soon. Meanwhile, lives will continue to be lost because most of these…
HARARE – Why did it take the lucky find by a 10-year-old girl to finally get action into the problem of corrupt traffic police? Two thousand dollars worth of Rands and Dollars stuffed into a bag with papers and wild fruits thrown into a pile of rubbish on the side of the road opened the…
HARARE – Government’s hasty introduction of the mandatory use of blended fuel in August last year, and in the process denying motorists the choice of buying the fuel of their choice has come back to haunt them.

Beloved brethren I hope you are doing fine in this year, if not I believe this epistle will enhance your efficiency then. The book of revelation gives us a valuable truth through which we can easily have control in the natural realm….
HARARE – Schools will open tomorrow under a cloud of uncertainty as teachers’ unions threaten strike action if their demands for salary adjustments are not met by Wednesday. Apart from the threats, parents and school heads are also still not sure how much they are to pay for school fees as government announced a freeze…
EDITOR — I appeal to the minister of Primary and Secondary Education Lazarus Dokora to look into the welfare of teachers as a matter of urgency. This affects the teachers’ performance as well as other sectors of the economy. Teachers are not equipped for inclusive education and that’s where our greatest challenge is. Learning difficulties…
EDITOR — Being an avid Daily News reader, I was awestruck by the Late Joshua Nkomo’s letters to the-then prime minister Robert Mugabe, which your paper ran late last year.
