HARARE – It has to be noted that corruption is a disease that needs to be eliminated at whatever cost and this is evidenced by most states criminalising the act. In Zimbabwe, corruption in all its forms is illegal and to this effect, various institutions and laws have been put in place like the Anti-Corruption…
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….

These are State responsibilities stipulated in the Constitution…
EDITOR — The idea of demolishing illegal structures which were constructed in wetlands and on top of sewer mains is a noble idea by the council. But before we go to residential areas we must start with the bottle stores that have been built within the residential areas. Previous councillors running the council did not…
EDITOR — The story in yesterday’s issue of your daily about the cost of living getting high left me with a bitter sweet feeling. We have always assumed that when Zanu PF gets back into power the cost of living is going to be high and some of us had expectations that some countries would…
EDITOR — Hats off to Temba Mliswa for insisting that the government buy MPs’ cars from local manufacturers so as to promote our own ailing industries.
