We join the nation in "exalting and extolling the brave men & women who sacrificed their lives during the Chimurenga/Umvukela and national liberation struggles," as the preamble of our Constitution states. May such heroism be inculcated in the fight to achieve menstrual liberty.

It's the consumer who will still suffer from the revoking of the suspension of duty. The duty portion will be now passed on to the consumer. In the same spirit, government should be swift in shutting down downtown brick and mortar "tuckshops" that are charging in forex only

It is sad that torn and defaced US dollar notes are discounted and sold at less value in Zimbabwe. They are also rejected in shops, even a note with a slight tone.

New kid on the block: Delta has introduced banana-flavoured Chibuku Super, apparently in a move to appeal to more female drinkers. Already drinkers were mixing original Chibuku Super with banana yogurt to get that taste. Years back, Delta introduced chocolate-flavoured Super.
