Are you conscious
that Bulawayo was declared a special economic zone last week? Does this
mean that the government acknowledges that the region has been marginalized?
Read about it in Brighton’s article http://youthsforinnovationtrust.blogspot.com/2016/06/bulawayo-declared-special-economic-zone.html
On a sad note…
A seven months pregnant woman was punched in the stomach by a hwindi in
Kumbudzi in Harare a few days ago, she had complications in hospital and she
and the child passed away. Feminists around the country are fuming as they are
now pushing campaigns for safer cities for women, 2 of the 7 touts involved in
the murder are in custody and the others are being sought.
You might have noticed
that…
137 female inmates were released from Chikurubi female
prison last week. The dire situation faced by the overload of prisons was dealt
with and the state cut down on resources. However, it turns out that there were
no reintegration measures put into place for these inmates. It remains the
people’s mandate then to watch over their socioeconomic conditions, someone said,
be careful in hiring maids.
Show that you are a
conscious citizen by participating in these initiatives…
