We need anger management lessons
Who will guard the guard? A good question for sure. The story made interesting reading that the guard is also accused of being part of the four robbers who stole US$238 000 from a company in Harare. The robbers were generous to give him some token of appreciation in terms of US$5 000. But guard wacho idofo. Handisupporte hangu humbavha kana kupara mhosva but vamwe vanhu vakapusa, ndatopedza so. — READER.

Public figures should stay away from drama. Drama harisi bho. Again find ways to deal with noise against you. I think all public figures should be taken for lessons on how to deal with social media.

It will affect development and welfare of the workers. I doubt if those workers are going to get their bonuses. It’s sad such incidents occur during the happy days. — WORKER.
A SURGE in murder cases caused by misunderstandings over petty issues is quite worrisome.
Some of the issues can be easily resolved if people learn to control their emotions.
Other matters are complicated by people who tend to overreact.
On Tuesday, we ran a story about a man who killed his brother with a kitchen knife following a dispute over a T-shirt.
The Chinhoyi man has been arrested and now awaits his day in court.
Last month, a Glen Norah man was killed by his colleague following a dispute over US$2 to buy beer.
This man now has to face the wrath of the wheels of justice for a petty issue, which could have been avoided at all costs.
Earlier this month, a Hatcliffe man was arrested on attempted murder charges after a row over beer went badly wrong.
The accused was irked by the imbiber who refused to give him a sip.
As strange as it may sound, there are many such brawls which have even ended in tragedy.
We even have some men who will fight over a cigarette, leading to the death of others.
Anger management issues should be prioritised because it helps to reduce such cases.
In some cases, victims of such bar brawls will be innocent and simply enjoying themselves
We expect people to be civilised and behave like true adults.
Brawling should be avoided at all cost as some of us are now rotting in jail for the crimes they committed, which could have been avoided.
Road rage is also among the triggers of such murder cases.
This was the case with music promoter Callisto Murawo, who is now facing murder charges, after his fracas with a man in a car park.
A simple argument, which could have been avoided, is now haunting Murawo.
Although he is lining up to defend himself in the court of law, he knows he has a tough legal battle ahead of him.
We also have some overzealous people who are short-tempered and trigger-happy.
These people can easily turn violent after the slightest provocation.
This kind of behaviour is not right and we have spent acres of space in this newspaper to condemn it over the years.
Bar brawls are usually a common phenomenon during the festive season but we should not be a people who believe we can’t change our evil ways and be a better nation.
We should know that, during this time of the year, there are a lot of people who simply throw away their reasoning capacity into the dumpsite.
Somehow, they change their behavior and even become aggressive and many believe that this is fueled by the consumption of liters of alcohol.
We should be wary about such people because they are always looking out for trouble.
We don’t want to lose lives through murder cases which would have been triggered by petty issues.
