Response to “$472m budget for city . . . water tariffs, clamping and towing
fees up” Why do I pay $300 a month to the City of Harare? I don’t get water and it says in this article that refuse collection is $9,50 per month? There is no refuse collection at all. What is it that I’m paying for? — @ Hokage Dattebayo.
*** Hiking water tariffs is not bad especially considering our current situation, but the percentage is too high since water is life. The council should not also misuse the ratepayers’ money and end up failing to provide safe water. — @Gakangoma77.
*** The MDC-led Harare City Council is failing to provide basic services such as refuse collection and clean water to ratepayers. They are only good at raising tariffs so that they fund their expensive lifestyles. Last month, the Mayor, councillors and the executives all travelled to Mutare for a week-long meeting at the expense of ratepayers. — @Letty Mabhena.
*** That budget is Chamisa’s and Biti’s move for people to react. What’s the purpose of raising the water tariffs when the council is failing to supply water? — @ Rossah Chikowore-Bingari.

Response to “ED pays Monte Cassino surprise visit” ED is really humble; he is the President of the people. — Gakangoma77.
*** Response to “Govt releases
$60m for fuel” While there may be issues of forex shortages, it is the duty of private enterprise to do business and export enough to earn the country enough forex. Government has no business in business. To those who complain, why have you not established companies to produce toothpicks, buttons and other small items which consume a huge chunk of forex? Is it Government business to supply households with toothpicks? While Government may have its limitations, the citizens are not doing any good job either. — Chibhorani.

Responses to “Pupil barred from
school over beard” Don’t tell me he needs forex to shave. There are rules and regulations to be observed and followed. Let’s not bring religion of shaving in our schools. If you are a student be a student. When you were enrolled at this school were you told to keep your beard or did you tell them about your religion and you would be keeping a beard? A beard has nothing to do with spirituality. — NEE M. www.herald.co.zw
Response to “Govt gets tough on businesses” The problem of some retailers is that they want to take advantage of the situation, they know that commodities are scarce so they want to make huge profits. — Gakangoma77.
*** Good move by the Government. Our economy is infested by unscrupulous business people who are after fleecing citizens of their hard-earned money. Unscrupulous service stations, fuel attendants and black marketeers are channelling fuel to the black market so that they can make huge profits, yet they receive foreign currency allocations from the Government. This must stop forthwith! — Letty Mabhena.
*** All the companies breaching their agreements by selling fuel in US dollars must be charged and their licences revoked. We are fed up with them. Their price hikes are punishing ordinary Zimbabweans. These are the same people who go about the streets calling the President names and criticising ZANU-PF when the President and the party have nothing to do with this madness. Let’s unite and build our country. We must not destroy it. — Rossah Chikowore-Bingari. Response to “NetOne fined for service breach” Regulations are meant to be observed and all companies should be treated the same despite the fact that some companies are State-owned. — Gakangoma77.
