Responses to “Forbes border now open 24/7”
Thank you Zimra for the 24-hour opening of the border with Mozambique at Forbes Border/Machipanda. This should facilitate the smooth flow of business and reduce waiting times at the border. — @Kachimpanga.

Well done to the Government for opening the Forbes/Machipanda border posts 24/7. — @Viva.

This is a positive development and doubt it will enhance trade between Mozambique and Zimbabwe. —@ SibandaFG.

I just hope and pray this will remove all bottlenecks at the Forbes/Machipanda border post. It’s a step in the right direction for trade along this corridor. Its sweet music for transporters, clearing agencies and importers. —@ TendaCD.

Responses to“Law on sex offenders hailed”
The gazetting of the law which makes it an offence to initiate or have any sexual or indecent relations with anyone under the age of 18 is a welcome move. This should curb sex pests in our country. — Simbarashe Kwidini.

Thank you President Mnangagwa for approving Statutory Instrument 2 of 2024, the Presidential Powers (Temporary Measures) Criminal Laws (Protection of Children and Young Persons) Regulations, 2024 to protect our young girls. Young girls are vulnerable and we need tight laws to stop their abuse. — Mrs Diningu.

All would-be rapists are in trouble. Putting the age of consent to sexual relations at 18 should be deterrent enough. — Sikwana FW. www.herald.co.zw
Shamwari Yemwanasikana director Ms Ekenia Chifamba you are right. The coming of this law should help us close the gaps that had existed in the protection of young women and girls. We need to do everything that will make our girls safe from sexual predators. — Homela Mrs.

Having the law is one thing and bringing the perpetrators to book quite another. We hope the arrest and conviction of perpetrators will be quick. — Jamela BM.

This should stop paedophiles in their tracks. Paedophiles are a nightmare for our society as they continue to harass and violate the rights of young women and girls. — Sibindi LP.

At first Zimbabwe looked in control going into the final two overs, but disaster struck again at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo due to lack of concentration. — Michael Kross.
