YOUR FEEDBACK
The spirit of giving and volunteering should be encouraged in people. The poor and disadvantaged in our communities need help from us. As we approach the festive, season spare a thought for someone in need. — Tawanda Mhlanga.
Kombi operators must display fares. We do not want to be short changed and taken by surprise. Prior communication is vital to avoid inconviences. — Mutare.
Commuters have choices and those options must not be taken away from us. Be advised that if you con me I will contact the police. — CTM.
Drivers and road users should exercise caution on the road. The roads are wet and slippery. They are also littered with potholes. — Tawanda Mhanga, Dangamvura.
A Happy Christmas and a Prosperous 2019 to everyone. Please take it easy on our roads by driving with extreme caution. — Lovemore Kashawo, Harare.
Road users, please take it easy on the roads by driving with extra due care. With these busy holidays, always avoid drinking and driving. — Concerned.
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.
Allow me to wish all The Manica Post members a merry Christmas and fantastic new year. I will continue to contribute worthwhile views to The Manica Post the rest of my life. Surely, this golden eastern family newspaper is there to stay. In the same breath, I like the way you publish your fully baked hot news. We want more columns in the Press next year. Keep up the good work. —Terrence Mwedzi.
Thieves are so inhuman, they take away our valuables. I want to urge people who work in busy areas to help others by picking identity documents which thieves would have thrown to the ground. I have seen lots of identity cards on trees and some in toilets. Losing an identity card or driver’s licence disk is a nightmare. Hand these cards to the police, you will help someone. — Chikanga.
RBZ should conduct routine auditing to curb corruption. Internal security should identify culprits who are involved in illicit currency dealings. Acie made unsubstantiated claims and an investigation proved that. The four directors should simply sue Lumumba. — Mapozho Saruchera.
Chamisa is afraid of contest hence the decision of eliminating Mudzuri and Mwonzora from the presidential race. Democracy in the MDC died a long time ago. During the 2014 congress the late party leader Morgan Tsvangirai declared that his post was not up for contest and it is this same script that Chamisa has adopted. — Elijah Chihota.
I think its a good innovation to have Natpharm pharmacies around the country to ensure inclusive access of medicines. The current pharmaceutical industry model really needed a “shake up” given the challenges we are facing. The way private owned retail pharmacies have mushroomed is unacceptable in my view. They are too many and are putting the consumers at ransom with greedy pricing. I would want to think that even manufacturers like Varichem, Datlabs, Plus Five should have their own warehouse pharmacies retailing medicines as well and cut on to many middlemen in the form of wholesalers where prices are multiplied. That way Government can ensure its policies with regards to the industry are adhered to. — Dominic Rugare.
