Responses to “Superstition, fuel woes stall malaria prevention measures”
There is need to decentralise the spraying teams and to also involve the locals by training them so that they participate in the process. Getting local sprayers can indeed change attitudes towards the project. You can see the difference when you get society buy-in as people in different areas have their own beliefs and superstition. — @mnity.

There is need to reach out to those who do not want their homes sprayed. It is also important to look into their reasons when monitoring and evaluation is done. Only then can we talk of total coverage. — Mercy.

Response to “Public safety in urban areas non-negotiable”
What happened to solar-powered street lights that were meant for Harare? At some point I heard there was an initiative of solar-powered street lighting, and an attempt was made in the central business district of Harare and along the Airport Road. What became of this? Was the pilot project a failure or money was stolen by City of Harare? — Getrude Moyo.

Responses to “Health worker (76) defies age, time”
I applaud Gogo Chindundundu for the good work she is doing at her age. Indeed, village health workers ( VHWs) play an important role in improving the health of communities. As the story points out, the work done by Gogo Chindundundu and other VHWs has seen a reduction of preventable and communicable diseases like bilharzia in her community, though cases keep resurfacing as a result of attitudes. Thank you Gogo Chindundundu and thousands like you around the country.

What a blessed woman. Keep the good work Gogo Chindundundu. You are a blessing to human kind and may you continue mentoring young people in your community. — Cde Maxen.

Response to “Public safety in urban areas non-negotiable”
I agree with the writer that the City of Harare and that of Chitungwiza are not taking the security of residents seriously. Most street lights in Harare are not functional. The tower lights are still intact and only require some bulbs, yet Harare and Chitungwiza councils turn a blind eye. It is not uncommon to find some lights turned on during daytime because the switch system is dysfunctional, but who needs lighting during daytime? Can both please address this, especially as we go into the festive season. — Mandimika.

The truth is that City of Harare and Chitungwiza Municipality do not care about the safety of people. They are more concerned about stealing and giving each other housing stands at the expense of service delivery. I feel sorry for voters who waste their precious votes on such non-delivering councillors. — Potomuti.
