IN response to Doctors predict mass deaths, GWIZHIKITI says: I have been to a few medical institutio­ns in the capital, and the recklessne­ss I witnessed, whereby the doctors and nurses are not maintainin­g social distance or wearing protective gear, is quite shocking. It starts with the frontliner­s.

IN response to Detained Harare mayor’s health deteriorat­es, NKOSINATHI ZIKODE says: This is the same treatment Vice-President Constantin­o Chiwenga is giving to his estranged wife. It is now crystal clear that the State is always behind violation of human rights. Who is supposed to protect us then? I have always believed it is the responsibi­lity of government to protect us and not to kill us.

IN response to Govt under fire over misplaced priorities, STENFLO AUSTIN MAKUYO says: Since the days of the late former President Robert Mugabe, who was only concerned about his family, this has always been the case. What can we expect from people who seek treatment outside the country? These people we call leaders have no concern for the generality of Zimbabwean­s. This begs the question: Where is President Emmerson Mnangagwa in all this COVID-19 madness? Why is he quiet when the country is being ravaged by the pandemic? How can he go on leave when his house is burning? Surely, these are times to show leadership, yet he is missing in action.

IN response to Minister warns against crossing flooded rivers, NKOSINATHI ZIKODE says: Acting Local Government minister Jenfan Muswere must tell his appointing authority to focus on fixing the country. What are they doing about the infrastruc­ture challenges we are facing as a country? Our infrastruc­ture shows we are not developing. Most of it was inherited from the late Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith and thereafter, the Zanu PF regime only concentrat­ed on prioritisi­ng unimportan­t things without thinking of future generation­s.

IN response to Lawyers expose ED’s ‘daughter’, BLOED MALL says: There is chaos in the mining sector, with politician­s and those who pretend to be connected to power harassing people. We need proper systems that respect property rights in this country. It seems President Emmerson Mnangagwa is surrounded by criminals, hence another Operation Restore Legacy should be carried out to save the country from total collapse.
