IF traffic police continue doing what I saw on March 1, 2017, at Convent round about near the main entrance in Bulawayo, they are going to lose it. Why treat drivers like criminals? You don’t have public relations. Shame on you. If it was a company, we would say it is better you closed it. When somebody is put in charge they steal and treat people badly. — Disappointed Motorist, Bulawayo.

DOES Paddy Zhanda really believe that buyers at de-centralised Cattle Sales do not take into consideration the transport costs incurred both travelling to and from the Sale Pens and in addition the cost of transporting any cattle bought when determining the price they offer? — Masuku, Nymandlovu.

SPARE the rod and spoil the child! I see this as, both, a positive and a negative thing but I would rather discipline my child in their early stages of life than to leave a child becomes obnoxious till adulthood. This will create a society of really difficult people. When I was growing up only a look from my mum or father will tell me that after the guests have gone, a thrashing was coming and I would like to say I grew up into a disciplined man. Excessive child beating is wrong but passive child beating should be allowed as it is a form of discipline. — Hillary Mashanda, Harare

WHILE violence against one another can never be tolerated, it is imperative to analyse why certain nationalities are always considered as the main suspects when it comes to crime. I have stayed in more than a dozen countries both on the African continent and overseas and in all these countries, Nigerians are considered as champions of criminal activities, be it drug dealings, forgery, prostitution, cyber crime etc. It’s time Nigerians look at them too instead of crying foul all the time.— Mellisa Masaisai, Gweru
