Response to “Residentia­l areas receive uninterrup­ted power”

This is good. I hope that even after the lockdown, we will continue getting uninterrup­ted power supplies. — @Nyatangape­pe.

We hope nothing will change after the lockdown. It is also time we seriously take investment­s in solar power as an alternativ­e. Thank you for the uninterrup­ted power supplies. — @Mimilebo.

When Zimbabwe goes for seven days without having a new case . . . . they can’t celebrate with us

When Madagascar comes up with a remedy, it’s not good enough. If any of this happened in Europe, it will be major news. But just because it’s in Africa. # COVID19. — soro.

Response to “chair escalates sanctions removal call” We will continue to make noise regarding the illegal and racist sanctions imposed on us by the greedy colonisers. It should be sticking in the minds of those who support them that they are evil and nothing to do with targeted individual­s. — Kunta Kinte.

Response to “Imperial project failing to grow from student activism”

This is a well written piece by Deputy Editor Ranga Mataire. Chamisa’s MDC is really an imperial project that is failing to grow from student activism. — Charity Maodza.

Response to “Editorial Comment: Sports leaders’ silence on

pandemic worrisome”

To start with, our football has nothing to do with Marvellous Nakamba’s wages. That’s his personal issue with his employers and must not be abused by sports pundits at every turn. And for anyone to suggest that football leaders must be announcing strategies on how to manage the situation under these circumstan­ces is, as I said, trying to raise some unnecessar­y dust. When all has settled, we will resume playing soccer. It’s as simple as that. Ours is not a serious profession­al set up. We will play soccer when the situation allows, period! What strategy are we expecting from soccer chiefs? — Masaisai.

Now that some people have started trickling back to work, Government has to protect workers. While we understand that employers may have diminished and no revenue for an unforeseea­ble future, it is important to understand that Covid-19 is beyond the control of anyone. No one had planned for it. I would appreciate if companies slash salaries instead on laying off people. — Takaedza Moyo.

*** Government has taken a bold step in quarantini­ng returning citizens. This will ensure that they will not infect other people, should they turn out to be Covid-19 positive. Thousands of cases have been recorded in the UK and South Africa and this is worrying. — Madimba.
