IN response to Govt intimidate­s ‘demoralise­d’ doctors, nurses, BABA DANIEL says: One day, the ants will wake up and realise that they have the numbers and power to pull down and dismember grasshoppe­rs.

MOYO OSAMA says: These are profession­als and there is no need to intimidate them. They can just stay at home and switch off their cellphones.

PIKIRAYI says: It’s sad that every other profession­al in the country is complainin­g about the situation. Doctors and nurses want to go on strike, but the government will not allow them. This after it tweaked the Constituti­on and made collective job action illegal. On the other hand, teachers are also complainin­g about their measly salaries and poor working conditions.

MBUDAYA says: The regime does not care about the situation that is obtaining in the country. As long as the gold mafia is looting and continues to do so, the system will always make sure it maintains the status quo.

IN response to Justice MatandaMoy­o made right noise on corruption, SYDNEY SHONAI says: As long as civil servants continue getting less than US$300, which is far less than they were getting six years ago, then corruption will never be arrested.

NGOBENI says: It’s not the ordinary man who is into corruption, it’s those who have the political and financial muscle who can pull wagons of corruption. The ordinary man is busy trying to get the next dollar so their child can get supper.

IN response to Teachers meet minister over poor salaries, MAZVANYA says: Nothing positive comes out of such meetings. The government has no capacity to increase civil servants’ salaries or even to improve their working conditions.

SVOSVAI says: Had it been members of the security forces threatenin­g protests, the situation would have been resolved. But then those in power know that teachers cannot effect change.
