@HeraldZimb­abwe Responses to “ED cracks whip . . . orders end to unjustifie­d price increases . . . ZANU-PF alive to machinatio­ns of detractors” Thank you Mr President, this nonsense should stop. I don’t understand why some people are so selfish. Most retailers are doubling their prices with some tripling them for no reason at all. They just want to take advantage of the people and this should stop. — @Martyj.

*** At last this whole drama is going to stop. Your Excellency, I think you should deploy price control officers in shops and people should resist this price madness. —@ Rujeko. *** Response to “No GNU plans, says President” Thank you Mr President for clearing the issue. I have always maintained that people give the MDC-Alliance way too much credit than it deserves. Chamisa clearly believes he holds all the keys to the economy and this is not true. — @Garrymhako. The Herald — Zimbabwe Response to “Cabinet approves

pre-Budget strategy” I implore the Ministry of Finance to look at the current tax structure, as it is the highest in the SADC region if you take all the taxes into account. We need to reduce the Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, corporate tax and zero rate VAT and tax on raw material imports that are used in the productive sectors, for example oil producing, pharmaceut­icals, bread making and so on.

Corporate tax should be reduced to affordable levels that help in attracting investment and encourages companies to reinvest profit into the business for retooling and modernisat­ion of operations.

Individual income tax should also be reviewed to allow people to have more disposable incomes and encourage a culture of saving and investment, and also be able to spend on local goods which in effect leads on economic growth. — Bodo. SMS/WhatsApp: +2637141111­01

suspended directors” Indeed, it is not business as usual in this new dispensati­on. Continue to pluck all these culprits who were stealing for a long time. These are the same people who killed the economy as they abused State funds meant to benefit the majority for personal gain. These people must be punished accordingl­y. They should be used as an example so that other officials in similar positions will never steal again. We are moving in the right direction now. I pray that our economy will be stable again. — Taona Shenje.

*** This is getting exciting by the day. All those corrupt officials are being exposed. These people should return all what they stole from the State and be punished. Corruption should stop in Zimbabwe; we have had enough of greedy officials who steal from the Government at the expense of the majority. — Nyahuma.

*** Response to “Pambuka, Maziwisa

freedom bid hits brick wall” Way to go, the courts should not have mercy on fraudsters. Justice must be served and these people defrauded a company and should go to prison and pay for their crime. There is no room for criminals in this new dispensati­on. Criminals belong in prison and this is where these two belong. — Chimusoro. *** Responses to “37 illegal forex dealers convicted” Good. They must face the full wrath of the law. — Truth.

*** These guys were a menace in the streets. I am glad they have been caught. These are the same guys who were contributi­ng to the collapse of the economy. They should be dealt with accordingl­y. — Mhazi.
