HARARE – In the aftermath of Zanu PF’s launch of its latest economic blueprint, the Zimbabwe Agenda for Socio-Economic Transformation (Zimaset), Zimbabweans are waiting with bated breath on the delivery and potential impact of this key policy document. We say this based on the current state of our economy and anxiety across many sectors of…
HARARE – In its manifesto, “Taking back the Economy: Indigenise, Empower, Develop and Create Employment,” Zanu PF has claimed the West’s “illegal” economic sanctions have cost Zimbabwe at least $42 billion since 2001. According to Zanu PF, Zimbabwe lost donor support amounting to approximately $36 million annually, $79 million in loans from the International Monetary…
HARARE – The failing and ailing local industries are literally having King Pharaoh’s Army behind them and the Red Sea in front. May the Moses of our time please stand up!

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! In Art Katz’s book, The Holocaust: Where was God? he says the following, “The nub or centre of all…
HARARE – In yet another confirmation that the Daily News is a newspaper for the people and that we always fight on the right side of history, authorities have now confirmed that some senior policemen are indeed involved in corrupt activities. This untenable state of affairs has forced commissioner-general Augustine Chihuri to take remedial action…
EDITOR — Traditionally, meals in Zimbabwe are prepared three times a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and it is my concern that the ministry of Energy and Power Development encourage the use of gas for cooking so as to save power. The ministry should create awareness on the use of gas as a way of…
EDITOR — The report in your Monday issue where Guspy Warrior and Shinsoman did not show up for the Zim Dancehall Fiesta at Gwanzura Stadium shows that the promoter is taking dancehall fans for fools.
