I PLEAD with Government to withdraw licences from the unscrupulous businesses behind the wanton price increase of basic commodities. Government should also demolish all illegal tuck shops nationwide to make things viable in the business sphere.

In this modern day and age, one cannot take advantage of one family’s bereavement to score political goals . . . such conduct is misplaced and unAfrican. It was time to mourn our music legend, Dr Oliver Mtukudzi. What a paradox — Terri M.

Right from the onset, the sanctions were imposed on Zimbabwe because we took over ‘our’ farms. Some foreign governments are not good friends at all — TM.
******* Zimbabweans are law abiding and should not use emotions and tribalism to solve court cases – Mwedzimuchena.

Highly educated people should not prey on the gullibility of some sections of society. Intellectual achievement should not turn our graduates into puppets who use their influence to advance dubious agendas that stand aloof from the ultimate national interest. I am greatly perturbed by the assertion from the legal fraternity that the handling of the cases of public violence that plunged the nation into a moment of stagnation in January is being fast-tracked and not in the interest of the justice delivery system.
These are the very people known for the mantra “justice delayed is justice denied”. Are there any exceptional instances when justice should be justifiably delayed? Most of the suspects were denied bail.
Why would those people be kept in remand longer than is reasonable? Some of the suspects have been acquitted, 66 by February 1, 2019, while 80 have been found guilty. Imagine one languishing behind bars for six months only to be found not guilty.
Victims of the violent protests need to have confidence in the justice delivery system. If such cases are not dealt with expeditiously, how would they feel? Legal experts should teach people to be cognisant of the consequences of their actions when they inflict harm on others in the name of exercising the right to self expression.
People need to learn to exercise self restraint when they think they have a grievance that makes a public demonstration a necessity — Nhamo Muchagumisa, Odzi.

When a man abandons his family and starts feeding his neighbour while his family is starving, do not call him a father — Richard Mahuhushe.

These violent demonstrations have sent wrong signals to the investors, the same people the same rowdy youths desperately need to get employed — RM Richard.

Adultery is the only biblical reason for divorce. I fear that the husband who is not willing to let go of unfaithful wife will be tethered in matrimony through love portion administered not in spoonful but shovelful, resulting in him being like a dog on a leash. At worst she may terminate him now that he knows her shenanigans. An ear to counsel pays — CTM.

Each province should have mobile clinic while health centres should run round the clock. Currently some close on weekends — CTM.

It is shocking to see how dirty we have become as Mutareans.
Litter is everywhere. On our street corners, heaps of rubbish are piled. Street sweepers clean the streets daily, but come the next morning, the streets are full of litter.
We should learn to put litter in bins that City of Mutare in partnership with private companies has put at every corner. I think stiffer penalties will address this situation.
Kombi crews at most ranks are also major culprits since after cleaning their vehicles, they dump litter on the tarmac. Churches and music promoters are also adding dirt by putting their posters and banners on buildings, trees and road signs.
This results in graffiti being left everywhere. Some of the posters are so big that road signs are no longer visible.
These people should be brought to book. These promoters should be encouraged to advertise in The Manica Post and pay for the space.
Vendors should be taught to clean the areas they work from because they leave vegetable leaves everywhere. It is everyone’s duty to keep the city clean. — Dangamvura.

Laws should not be passed to generate income for the State, but for peace and order. People are abusing authority, lining their pockets in the belief that the elephant will not starve.
Corruption is now covered as the normal thing to do. How do people have assets with values more than the savings of all their monthly earnings by year end? How juicy are the bones that the sniffing dogs forget their jobs? — Worried Citizen.
