MEN should open up and report abusive wives. There are men who are ashamed of reporting wives who beat them up. Abused men should not suffer in silence. It is unfortunate that some police officers laugh at men who come to report abusive wives. I think the situation becomes worse when the men find female police officers and begin to narrate their ordeal. — Lwerence “The Penpusher’ Moyo, Hwange.

REGISTERED and licensed mini-buses are being constantly harassed and victimised by the police. Is it not time that pirate taxis, especially those without number plates and carry up to seven people meant for four receive similar attention. Corrupt police officers should be brought to book now. Enough is enough. — Sengi Diniwe, Bulawayo.

MINISTRY of Transport never introduce VID tests for all cars as long as our roads are like this. Take cars involved in accidents to VID only. Stop fueling corruption. You are the leaders, lead by example. Fix your roads first. Are we not paying Zinara? VID tests can only be done in South Africa. Bronze, Bulawayo.

INDEED tarred roads are good but at the same time expensive to construct and maintain. Cyclone Dineo added misery to our already precarious situation by washing away bridges and damaging roads, leaving us worse off. However, much as we want tarred roads, authorities can seriously consider running graders on those badly damaged roads to make them trafficable. A busy graded dusty road is more user friendly when compared to a badly damaged ‘formerly’ tarred road. All new settlements and badly damaged tarred roads can be grader-repaired and we have usable roads, at least for the time being. When funds are there, we tar them up. Graders are far much cheaper and faster when repairing roads. — Thomas Murisa. Harare.
