I would like to express my gratitude to Harare City Council, the mayor Benard Manyenyeni and the minister of Local Government Saviour Kasukuwere for saying no to illegality. Town planners are working on zoning to organise and regulate activities in cities. That zoning is sacrosanct, one has got to apply for change of use and give reasons to council before converting, say a workshop into a canteen and make the necessary adjustments with guidance from council experts. Vendors were beginning to sound like an authority but no matter how much one is pressed, our Constitution does not allow anyone to turn to illegal means to survive. I would like to urge municipal police to keep up the pressure. Clients will visit the vendors at designated points in the same way people criss-cross the city for various services and products. ZANU PF cadres are at each other’s throats almost everyday for lack of a common enemy. Our opposition politics has been a big letdown. The MDC is so shredded that one cannot trust it to dislodge Zanu PF, while the People First project is faceless. While Didymus Mutasa and Rugare Gumbo are saying Joice Mujuru is the leader of their faction, she is quietly engaging in farming at Ruzambu Farm in Beatrice. For as long as there is no real threat to Zanu PF rule, we will live with Zanu PF infighting and a dying economy. Thirteen security aides are battling to get their dues from the MDC led by Morgan Tsvangirai. The party has secured a stay of execution to protect both the party and Tsvangirai’s property. I find it disturbing that a party whose foundation was ZCTU and purports to be democratic is treating its workers in that manner. Why not dispose of a few assets and pay them since they won at the courts? Some people who say they have the people at heart do not put that into practice. HAS City of Harare neglected its duty to patch up potholes? Only drivers who are familiar with certain roads know how to navigate and meander to avoid the huge craters. If the roads are in such a deplorable state now, what about in the rainy season? Along Boshof road in Sunningdale some unscrupulous youths are doing a shoddy job, but still expect motorists to give them tokens for patching up the potholes.
