Letters To The Editor
ZIMBABWEANS in the diaspora must act as ambassadors who market the brand Zimbabwe. It is a shame that instead, foreigners like members of the December 12 Movement are doing that. History will surely judge these unpatriotic Zimbabweans harshly. -Shumba
We must concentrate on demolishing political walls of pride and prejudice and galvanise our efforts into a single people with an agreed national agenda that must be executed with the blessing of all the energies found within our borders. We must take pride in ourselves before we do so with outsiders, and, meet the outer world as a united people. Let us take a leaf from the strategies used by successful nations and build our own strategies with Zimbabwean characteristics. United we become stronger, and divided we lose even what we thought we had. - Donald Sarudzai Makoni
If Zambia, Kenya and Ethiopia have become victims of borrowing what they cannot pay back to China and are losing assets that include precious land, are we too illiterate to understand what less literate nations have experienced? Trade, finance and investment are wheels that oil industrialisation and are necessary to the extent that we will be able to realise this goal. If, on the other hand, we fail to distinguish between the woods and trees, we will soon become the breakfast, lunch and supper for foreigners who are essentially racist and narcissist. Patriot
The clean-up campaign was a success. Now let’s keep our cities clean. A clean nation is a healthy one. Council must now collect refuse bins regularly -Liberty Mahoso.
Most Grade Seven candidates failed to pass English Language. The language is proving to be difficult for most learners – LM.
We thank the police for bringing to book robbers who had caused chaos in the city, they should now end mushika-shika – Mutare Resident.
Bad breath is known as halitosis. It can be cured. A person must see a doctor. A dentist comes in when there is tooth decay – CTM.
Saddened by the collapse of Murara bridge. Build a long lasting one – Mutasa Resident.
May I convey my congratulations to FC Platinum for winning the 2018 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League championship. It is also possible for Manica Diamonds Football Club to do the same next season. We want the winning spirit to walk with us forever. That is our biggest hope in the world of sport because we are the real football pundits of the Zimbabwean football.- Terrence Mwedzi, Osborne Dam
FC Platinum should be congratulated for winning the 2018 PSL title. It is my sincere hope that Dynamos should also do the same next football season. Seriousness can be seen in the football of play and hard work fraternity and Dynamos coach must work around the clock to put the club back on the map. As a Dynamos fan, I was worried to see the Harare giants fighting relegation.- TM, Osborne.
TOO much fuel, forex, cooking oil and soap is being diverted on the black market. Who are the big fish behind this? I want to believe there are people who want to sabotage the government. - Kwa Mutare.
If our late and first lawyer Cde Herbert Chitepo concentrated on his career he would have got a much better standard of living, but he decided to lead the armed struggle until his assassination by these Rhodesians in Lusaka, Zambia in 1975. I am so pained by people who are brainwashed by colonialists.
China is as great and as monstrous as it is today because it had its set of scruples that instructed her to grow and develop at her own pace and scoffed at external pressures that sought to design political and economic parameters on her behalf. Whatever treasure we have must not be subject to parading to the hyenas that are only too happy to descend on us using the silliest of excuses like they did to Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and others. - Ishe Kamba Makoni.
Surely, the current Government is working extra hard with the process of re-engaging with international partners and creditors to clear all local and external debts. It is encouraging to realise that Minister Mthuli Ncube is one of those Cabinet Ministers working around the clock to ensure that our country to prospers. We hope great developments will continue to be seen because the time to rebuild Zimbabwe is now. It is my sincere hope that our mantra for economic revival will not be in vain.- Terrence Mwedzi, Mutare.
