Response to “Free legal clinic for Epworth girls”

Young men are overlooked yet they are also vulnerable. — @gsande263.

*** Response to “Mbare Musika faces temporary closure”

Moving long distance buses to new designated sites is a great way to motivate vendors to leave the central business district. — @ReidLyton. The Herald — Zimbabwe

Response to “African dream houseboat spectacle grips Masvingo”

The turning circle determines the route to use, and the obstructio­ns along the way, buildings, electrics, bridges etc. They probably did a survey from where the journey begins to where it ends checking better routes to use because of the size and length of the vehicle and the load. — Munya Nazare Bere.

*** Response to “200 Nkayi women get training in poultry rearing”

We applaud the First Lady for investing in women and increasing their participat­ion in the economy. — Thandeka.

*** Response to “VP Mphoko donates to the elderly”

It is great to know that our leaders always remember to take good care of the elderly because most of these people cannot do things neither can they provide for themselves. — Rukudzo Choto. SMS/WhatsApp: +2637741111­01

The nightmare of walking in Harare’s central business district is almost over. I hope the city stays like this. — Mai Mahembe, Warren Park 1.

*** Thank you for removing vendors from pavements, they were becoming a nuisance. Some even harassed pedestrian­s. Well done. — Caroline, Mbare.

*** All Zimbabwean­s let’s go out in our numbers and register to vote, that’s the coolest thing to do. — Morris, Bindura.

*** Response to “Chungwa rescues Makepekepe”

Usually winners take the limelight. That’s granted. There is more to talk about winners than losers, but please let’s be fair here and maybe reasonable too. CAPS United beat Triangle 1-0 and the scoreline indicates that it was a tight encounter. Now for a reporter to pen such a long article and only mention what Triangle did all day in just about twoand-a-half sentences at the end of the piece is not only unfair to Triangle, but gross lack of journalist­ic ethics. — Masaisai. www.herald.co.zw

Response to “Truckers block Beitbridge Border Post”

We should be making efforts to ensure clearing of goods is more transparen­t and quicker to reduce any hindrances to the smooth flow of traffic. There are many innovative technologi­es and systems that can be implemente­d to deal with clearance in the shortest possible time. Everyone knows that the delays are man-made to force truckers to pay bribes. — Gary Weku Zviyambe.

*** Response to “79 vendors nabbed in police crackdown”

A welcome move indeed, but I have observed that not much has been done to rid the city of mushikashi­ka kombis and taxis who are the first culprits in town congestion and enablers of illegal vending. We want to see legislatio­n against the nuisance where instead of dangerous cat and mouse chase by authoritie­s, only vehicle registrati­on numbers and other details are collected and the owners arrested, fined or jailed. This is a very peaceful method effective in South Africa and other countries. The same laws and by-laws should also target push cart owners who have inconvenie­nced many shoppers and business owners in the capital. — Casy.
