EDITOR – When is this government or when are African governments going to start caring for their own people? Surely we can’t leave our salvation to donor agencies. It is not like Zimbabweans need to live mansions. No! We just need running water, electricity and efficient medical services. It’s not…

EDITOR — Your story “Coalition not about unseating Mugabe” refers. Love him or hate him but the Movement for Democtaric Change leader, Welshman Ncube, is in a class of his own. It’s just so sad that our country cannot recognise such rare talent. He is so clear on principle and…

EDITOR — It is just ridiculous to live in a diamond rich country where ordinary citizens survive on US$1 a day. With most salaries pegged below the poverty datum line, it’s shocking to hear the government announcing an increment in medical consultation fees. A True Patriot…

EDITOR — The Centre for the Advancement of Dialogue and Democracy (CADD) condemns in strongest terms the endless violent and racial attacks on white commercial farmers remaining in Zimbabwe. The organisation has been terribly shocked by the fatal attack on Catherine and Malcolm Francis in Guruve on May 14. This…

EDITOR — It’s interesting to see ZANU-PF politicians jostling for influence under the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (Zim-Asset) while in the process contradicting each other. We see government climbing down on the extremism of the indigenisation policy as promoted by minister Saviour Kasukuwere. Even more significantly, the fissures…

EDITOR — As Zimbabweans it may be time we accepted our fate and moved on. As long as ministers can become millionaires with property all over the country and whose value has no relation to their ministerial salaries and as long as President Robert Mugabe can afford to build mansions…
