EDITOR — The rate at which children are being abused in this country is so disturbing. Whenever I read the paper I come across child abuse cases and this is very disheartening to know that in this era there are some people who are cruel enough to rape a seven-month-old baby and also some who…
EDITOR — This is the problem in Zimbabwe, top executives are bleeding organisations, spending too much on themselves. The cars and luxury they enjoy is not a reflection of an economy that is under-perfoming. It does not apply to ZBC alone. While it is for a worthy cause if checks and balances are not put…
EDITOR —The government has just published new regulations to regulate communications in Zimbabwe.

EDITOR — With hunger biting in Mbire, may I put it to the attention of World Food Programme (WFP) and Christian Care that their food distribution is heavily politicised with kraal heads having already selected beneficiaries on partisan lines. Members of the MDC are being left out as punishment for supporting the party and this…
EDITOR — In Guthrie Munyuki’s interview with Tendai Biti, published in the October 3 issue, there are some interesting issues that were pointed out. Love him or hate him, the former Finance minister Biti in the interview has provided logical and common sense answers to the dialogue. Who will argue against transparency in government and…
EDITOR — When drivers were ticketed and asked to pay at post offices there was less corruption. Spot fines have become a haven of bribes. We now have a database of cars in Zimbabwe. Seriously, it’s not difficult to trace a driver who does not pay an issued ticket. Just pin on the registered owner….
HARARE – The recent “pitch invasion” by a black cat during a recent football match at Rufaro Stadium has reignited debate over the use of purported supernatural powers to win football matches in Africa.
