MESSAGES

GREAT Zimbabweans, I am reporting from Bulawayo. I would like to ask about traffic police officers who are using their private vehicles when manning roadblocks. My question is, where do they get the fuel to use for these vehicles. Is this lawful? Thank you
I AM grateful to write to you via this platform. My area, Zaka North, is behind in terms of service delivery. We travel long distances to the nearest clinic and the road network is bad.
WHEN will the suffering end for Zisco Steel workers? They love their jobs even though the employer seems not not care. They go to work even though they have not received salaries for a long time. Is this what they call looking for hope on hopeless ground? Now their children no longer go to school but their employer owes them thousands of dollars. They last received 40 dollars in December. Only God knows how they have been surviving. Is there any society to look at, one wonders. Now it has struck again, (the workers have been told there will be) no water until they have paid your (water) debts. Some people enjoy to see others suffer. If this is a season, what kind of a season is it that does not pass. Now the people drink water ‘straight’ from Kwekwe river . As others drink mineral water in their meetings, people in Torwood are going to the river to drink water from the same source as donkeys. When will the suffering end? By Tian D
