THE visit by Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad goes to show that president Robert Mugabe is out to antagonise the West yet he is begging for the removal of sanctions against him. Iran is a bastion of autocracy where dissent is crushed by executions and continued arrests. It’s funny how birds of a feather flock together. I am sure Iran will dump Zimbabwe after it defaults on its payments like what Libya did.Andy, Harare.
IN the spirit of fairness, the MDC should push for the appointment of Roy Bennett as Manicaland governor. I think every progressive person would support that.Tendai S.
PROVINCIAL governors should be elected representatives otherwise the post should be scrapped. Their work can be done by provincial administrators. There should only be two senators per province. Chiefs should also remain in the Council of Chiefs and not dabble in politics as it compromises their role as the custodians of our culture.Analyst.

THE South African ambassadorial post should not be given to any political party but a Zimbabwean patriot with strong diplomatic credentials. If appointments are made on party lines, service may be compromised.Analyst.

We were told that the winner of the best two bids for Zisco would be announced in two weeks. It is now several months after that and yet the winner is yet to be announced.Chimedza, Redcliff.
ARE we a free-market economy or a command economy? We thought flip-flop policies were gone with the era of Gideon Gono. It is confusing for an investor when government is always threatening businesses because of inflation. Industries are being affected by fluctuations in the rand-US dollar exchange rate. One cannot expect a business to make a loss, because it defies the very essence of going into business –– which is to make a profit by the way!Surgeon.
ECONET should stop ripping us off on the undelivered text messages. How can they charge for a service they have not provided? They should stop this daylight robbery and taking us for granted.Nyamuziwa.
