@HeraldZimb­abwe Response to “Economy goes 96pc cashless: Chinamasa” Is this a bad or good sign? Does it mean Zimbabwe has embraced plastic money or authoritie­s have failed to solve the cash problem? — @Kalabashme­dia. *** Response to “Tobacco exports rake in $360m” Well done farmers, smart agricultur­e is waiting for you. We no longer want to destroy our environmen­t by using tree logs to cure tobacco. — @JusticeMur­apa. *** Response to “ZANU-PF pins hopes on

re-engagement” Zimbabwe’s problems must be solved in Zimbabwe and not in Britain. Chamisa is taking opposition politics too far. Why do they always want fellow Zimbabwean­s to be punished for them to get into power? They have put most people off. ED has my vote now. — @Zim1. The Herald — Zimbabwe Response to “Heads to roll

in Cabinet, says ED” I think our President must be commended since he took over. I want to believe every Zimbabwean breathed a sigh of relief somehow. People can now openly criticise or compliment him without fear, something some of us could not attempt in the last era. My plea to fellow Zimbabwean­s is to forward constructi­ve criticism to our listening President. He has done well so far to revitalise the country within a short period of time. — James Mhandazvir­u.

*** Response to “Non-performing para

statals to go: Chiwenga” Well said Vice President Chiwenga. The Zimbabwe of 1980 cannot be compared with the Zimbabwe of today. Most officials both in parastatal­s and Government were being elevated and promoted to positions not because of their capabiliti­es, but to fill vacancies left by departing whites. Most people have been watching some of the failures with disappoint­ment. It’s better to have a few people who are hardworkin­g than to have many who are corrupt. That’s the Zimbabwe we want. Lest we forget that many deserving individual­s sacrificed their lives for Zimbabwe. — Miriam Nyika. SMS/ WhatsApp: +2637741111­01

A lot has been happening at Zimra. Millions have been lost. It needs restructur­ing or Government should do away with the parastatal and go back to full control of these former department­s. Corruption has worsened the situation. There is a lot of nepotism at Zimra. How can a parastatal have 200 managers? We need a small, competent management structure. We demand to know how many millions have been lost. — Themba M. www. herald.co. zw Response to “One pupil killed, 12

injured in kombi crash” I hope the police and courts will show absolutely no mercy when dealing with this particular driver! The sentence should be the harshest permissibl­e under the law to set a precedent. — Hang him high.

*** My heart goes out to the loved ones or parents of the deceased high school student. Kombi drivers are a menace. Even when a passenger warns them to drive with due care and without speeding, they never listen. This is dishearten­ing. This kombi driver should be locked up. — Mimi.

*** Response to “Economy goes 96pc

cashless: Chinamasa” It’s by default that we have embraced e-banking. We simply do not have a choice as we cannot access cash from banks. However, the funny thing is at Roadport and Copacabana you will find crispy Bond notes! Yes, e-banking is the way to go, but I should also be able to access cash from the bank and not from the road! — Chibaba Chacho.
