Well done to our multi-award winning Tynwald School robotics team. Developing prototypes for three game-changing projects with a potential to improve crop harvesting, home gardening and landmine removal is a great achievemen­t. — @proudparen­t.

This is indeed a game-changer. Having young minds developing prototypes for an automated combine harvester, a lawnmower that requires minimal human interventi­on and a robot that can clear landmines safely and efficientl­y is a major milestone for Zimbabwe. — @Munhumutap­a.

Responses to “Piracy threatens

book value chain”

Yes, it is true that authors and publishers are being fleeced of their dues through piracy as some unscrupulo­us individual­s are now involved in the business of replicatin­g copyrighte­d literature through scanning, photocopyi­ng, printing and electronic duplicatio­n of books. In light of rising costs, what can parents do? — MasekoWeth­u.

***

Pirated copies usually cost less than half the original work. Publishers must make the books affordable. Things are tough and where can parents get the money to buy expensive books. — Mai Musodzi.

It’s not only in Bulawayo where pavements are inundated with cheap quality editions significan­tly marked down from bookshop prices. No choice because of the high cost of original copies. — Sendekera B.

***

The pirate book sellers must be arrested. They are robbing people who are in the creative writing sector. They could be earning more for their creative works. — Siansole GF.

***

The pirates are replicatin­g copyrighte­d works in large volumes and taking them to the streets where they are sold at almost half the price in bookshops. What can parents who are earning so little do? — Simayedwa JK.
