ONE of the worst scenarios that I have faced in recent years is to live in darkness simply because a national power company has been so incompetent that it has failed to provide adequate electricity to the nation.

HAVE Zimbabweans ever noticed how Zimra just imposes taxing structures without due regard to the likely effect on  citizens.

I, like many other Zimbabweans, am puzzled by the thinking  in Zanu PF especially at this critical juncture when we should all be working hard to remove any obstacles in the way of much-needed foreign direct investment.

THE beauty of democracy is that people are allowed to speak their minds, often without injuring the rights and reputations of others. 

IT is sad that civil servants have had to strike to press government for a pay rise.

Not so provisional
Provisional driver's licence fees are too exorbitant. I suggest $20 for at least four attempts. That would be fair. Driving is a necessity not a luxury. — Milmut.

NIGER’S bloody coup raises serious questions about the African Union’s credibility in promoting constitutional democracy for the good of the African continent and its inhabitants.

TALENT in every aspect of life has to be complemented by a series of good character management and administration.

THE state media in cahoots with the intelligence agency, the CIO, has been running stories that the Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and his party are responsible for the on-going strike by the civil servants.

I was shocked by a recent article in which Minister of Agriculture, Dr Joseph Made, said the government has banned all food handouts by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs).

No money, then what?
HOW does the government intend to deal with the ongoing civil servants’ strike?  We are hearing much about the strike but very little about the government’s response. — L John.

ONE is compelled to conclude that Professor Jonathan Moyo is ostensibly objective only when bitter.

ONE of our local leaders is selling cell phone lines for US$10 each to villagers and youths in our rural area. How acceptable is this?

ALLOW me space to congratulate Professor Jonathan Moyo for his recent article in which he unintentionally, but correctly exposes President Robert Mugabe and the former ruling party, Zanu PF.

WHILE I never thought the MDC-T could get concessions from Zanu PF on all outstanding issues I still believed that there would be progress on some issues.

Bravo EU!
WE applaud the European Union for standing with the people of Zimbabwe by deciding to extend sanctions on the rogues in Zanu PF. This clique has continued to impose sanctions on Zimbabwe.

BEFORE going further I wish to acknowledge that I am not a lawyer by training.

I invested all my savings in the Reserve Bank’s treasury Bills last year. The bills matured on December 2, 2009.

THIS letter is in response to media reports flying around from suspended Zapu members.
