Response to “DeMbare show character in five goal thriller”

I think that the Cameroonia­n striker, Epoupa will be to Dynamos what Zlatan Ibrahimovi­c was to Manchester United. — @ttakaruza.

*** Response to “All set for 2018 BVR election kits”

It is a good move from the manual way of doing things. Saves time as well. —@ mlambokia.

*** Response to “Economy hogs limelight at Politburo”

Economic reforms are on the way, people should watch and learn from the revolution­ary party. — @joewepachi­vhu.

Response to “Bogus cops mount roadblocks”

Madam Charamba, why can’t you do away with spot fines and see if bogus roadblocks will remain? Let me applaud you for your observatio­n and please take action. The earlier the better. — James Nkwazi.

*** What if these bogus roadblocks are being mounted by police officers that are not designated to the traffic department? At most roadblocks, there are officers who will be wearing civilian clothes and these are usually more aggressive and powerful than those in uniforms. That is an example of a bogus traffic police officer. The other problem is of police reserves who are roaming the country wearing police uniforms. What will stop these people from assembling a roadblock to gain extra cash? — Honest Matandare.

Well done on writing a story on Indigenous Knowledge Systems and education. In Zimbabwe, we must set up a simple research centre now, to develop what I want to call natural or organic medicines. I have no doubt that these will be more effective than processed ones. My family members who saved hundreds of lives using organic or herbal medicines have since gone, leaving no legacy in this important field to us. I think that people will support such an endeavour as an innovation on our part. We, as Africans, are often blamed for not being interested in plunging ourselves into the unknowns. Such a programme, if pursued vigorously and aggressive­ly, has the potential to save millions of lives at considerab­ly less costs.

*** The SI64 has provided a platform for local products to bounce back from oblivion. Quality control was not possible before SI64, but I believe a lot of companies are seriously looking into it — it’s a necessity. The plans have always been there, but because of negative bottom lines, it was not possible to invest in new equipment. It should be very possible now and any company that does start the process of improving operations now will be left behind forever. SI64 is the real deal. My small company may not have been cited by the minister as a success story, but we have made tremendous progress ever since SI64 was introduced. Our sales have increased by almost 300 percent and we are finalising the purchase of new machinery from China and the good thing is that the purchase will be mostly financed by resources generated from the business. Our Zimra remittance­s have also grown in sympathy with the increase in sales and Zimra has seen it fit to move us from the “Small clients” category to “medium clients” category. — ProSI64.

Response to “Chitungwiz­a’s dilemma” The place was overstaffe­d by 800 employees, no wonder the council could not provide services. They were collecting rates to pay salaries. The council has to be properly sized and they must deliver services. Corruption must be cleaned out, the stands allocation problems we read about stop us from paying. We cannot be financing corruption. — TM.

*** Response to “MDC-T youths beat High Court sheriff”

These people don’t think, they are a product of the nature of politics they are fed on. Some of these so called youths have no idea what politics is, they think they are at war. Also, party leaders in all political circles should refrain from the habit of abusing and misleading youths. — Ray Mbada.
