IN response to Poor pass rate: Govt shifts blame, BASTARD says: Zimbabwe's biggest challenge is leadership. Schools have been run down by the Zanu PF government. Primary and secondary school pupils used to get free exercise books. Textbooks were plenty plus. It is unfortunat­e that some children in remote areas such as Binga are learning under trees as school infrastruc­ture has not been maintained or improved as looting of public resources went into overdrive four decades after independen­ce. This needs to change forthwith. Zanu PF should be held accountabl­e for this “genocide” in the education sector. The Zanu PF government should be answerable for “killing” the future of our children.

MARSHAL says: The Zanu PF government has become incompeten­t, unresponsi­ve and corrupt. And that incompeten­ce, ineptitude, lack of accountabi­lity is now dangerous. Where there is failure, they scrap for fig leaves.

SVOSVEGURU says: Primary and Secondary minister Cain Mathema must be high on something else. How can he make such utterances? Where is the link between sanctions and poor Grade Seven results? Two worlds apart. Does Mathema really think Zimbabwean­s are fools to believe such hogwash? Only a delusional mind will agree with such kind of thinking. For several years, teachers have been pleading with government for a living wage, which the government ignored. These are the results of a government which does not listen to the concerns of its workforce. As long as the Primary and Secondary ministry continues to be grossly underfunde­d, pass rates will continue to go south.

IN response to Mwonzora, Khupe rift widens, CHATIBWEGE says: From the onset, some of us knew that this was a marriage of convenienc­e. Sooner or later, the marriage was bound to collapse because Douglas Mwonzora and Thokozani Khupe are power mongers and greedy. The MDCT project is going to implode before the 2023 elections. Any of the two leaders will not accept an internal poll result other than a win as they know that a defeat will consign them to the political dustbin. The two have betrayed the struggle. They have surrendere­d themselves to Zanu PF for the love of “30 pieces of silver”, but the people have refused to follow them.
