Responses to “AIPPA, POSA on deathbed”
AIPPA must be repealed as it belongs to the old dispensation. This is quite encouraging. I hope the media will not abuse the freedom being availed in abundance the same way political parties abused the democratic space opened by the new dispensation. I also hope the West is noting all these positive reforms. — Tafara Shumba.

This is commendable as the new Information Minister Monica Mutsvangwa has been tasked to license more radio and television stations, and ensure Press freedom because laws like AIPPA restrict freedom of expression and promote self-censorship. Looking at the Government’s efforts to change Zimbabwe, one can see that the new dispensation is the way to go. — Stewart Musa.

Zimbabwe is still transforming from the Mugabe era to President Mnangagwa’s new dawn with more democratic principles and no draconian laws. —Gakangoma77.

Response to “Take sober view of Motlanthe report”
Zimbabweans are quick to judge. I bet those who are blasting the document have only read as far as the introduction. — Betty Gatsi.

Response to “AIPPA, POSA on deathbed”
We appreciate the efforts to review AIPPA. Freedom of expression is a universal human right. It is not the prerogative of politicians. Nor is it the privilege of journalists. In their day-to-day work, journalists are simply exercising every citizen’s right to free speech.
A free Press is fundamental to a democratic society. It seeks and circulates news, information, ideas, comment and opinion and holds those in authority to account.
The Press provides the platform for a multiplicity of voices to be heard. It is the public’s watchdog, activist and guardian as well as educator, entertainer and contemporary chronicler. — Productive Zimbo.

Responses to Unity Day We come together in unity, as one big community, finding commonality in our people. Our ancestors and elders carried dreams deep within their hearts, perhaps, left unrealised in their time. They worked to pave the way so that we might know a better life. They risked their lives and livelihoods so that we might know tastes of paradise. We carry with us this dream of a brighter future for our families, of a world where all people may live in peace. Looking forward to move on together as a nation and stop these political battles, which are not productive in any way. — Peace.

Looking forward to Unity Day, we are all equal in the view that we are all different. We are all the same in that we will never be the same. We are united by the reality that all colours and all cultures are distinct. We are harmonious in the reality that we are all held to this earth by the same gravity. We don’t share blood, but we share the air that keeps us alive, and the fact that we are all Zimbabweans makes us one family. — Tino Sharo Mapenzauswa.
