Responses to “Cabinet withdraws
‘small house’ clause” Zimbabwe is not a developed country by international standards and women are still extremely marginalised. Children are very vulnerable to social ills and men still dominate and control the social and economic environments. I thought this clause was solely to protect the vulnerable, which are women and children that become victims of unregistered unions. There are no safety nets elsewhere in the entire legislation that will protect these women and children in unregistered unions. It is therefore not fair to remove this clause. — @Masaisai.
*** Can we please have the whole Bill published so that we can read through it. At the moment we do not understand anything because the whole Bill has not been published so that we can scrutinise it. The only issue that l have seen is about cohabitation not being recognised. The law needs not be silent when it comes to equity. Even if the impending law will not give protection to parties who are into cohabiting, it will give the protection to property sharing. For in other jurisdictions if parties have been cohabiting, if they jointly contribute towards the development of a property or their properties, upon separation they both have equal shares on the properties in question. As l have not seen the outline of the proposed Bill, l cannot conclude on that. But from the little knowledge l have extracted from this article, the law seems to be adversarial to those who are into cohabitation. I will only comment fully on it if l see the whole Bill. — @Njabulolibertyatliberty.

more Zupco buses” Very good project Mr President well done for a good job. — Witness Bote.
*** Thank you Mr President, City of Harare must work out properly constituted bus stops; well-constructed and beautiful. If anything a team of operators must go to Cape Town, South Africa to see how they do it. The buses should be well-coordinated and not stop anywhere or load passengers anywhere. We need separate lanes for buses only. Private cars who will use these lanes will face heavy fines. Also put cameras to pick errand drivers. Simon Mazorodze from city to Mbudzi roundabout needs four lanes one way. — Israel Chitsa.

Responses to “Tapfuma imported 82 cars duty-free, court hears” Where did he get the money to buy all these vehicles? Dig deep, do not allow him bail, he might fake sickness and skip the country. — Bote. *** It is commendable that ZACC is on this kind of offensive against abusers of public office for personal gain. — Tendekai.

Comrade President, we thank you for this big investment at a time when the country is facing tough economic challenges. There are a number of concerns to note so that the Government is able to reap the best rewards from such heavy capital outlays. Standardisation of the fleet is of utmost importance. Buy these buses from the same source, brand and models with a renowned industrial history. This will boost effectiveness and efficiency whilst maintenance and repair costs are at a minimal. What matters most will be a favourable cost of ownership. With ZUPCO, history has shown that they do not have a vibrant vision, growth strategy or a game plan to run this entity. A mindset change is required so that this is a sustainable standalone business. These buses must generate profit for success of this parastatal. It’s advisable to appoint the board to see proper results from top performers. Also ZUPCO garages need a complete overhaul. Ensure you invest in latest technology of the workshops which is required when servicing these buses. Skills upgrading of the technicians is mandatory before these buses start to ply our roads. — Sagotora.

Our judicial system should follow suit and not be compromised by these top officials. Well done ZACC. — Cde Chakadenga.
Responses to “City forensic audit looms” The Auditor-General should start at the City of Harare Housing Department in Remembrance Drive, Mbare. Corruption is so rife that the housing officers own multiple residential stands, to the detriment of deserving Harare residents on the waiting list. Some of these housing officers register their stands in the names of their wives and family members in trying to disguise their land underhand dealings. — Chipo Choga.
