HALLO, we are starved of Manica-Post in Chiredzi, the distributi­ng team brings a few papers these days. At the main selling point you only get the paper as soon as its supplied. Thank you. — Chiredzi reader.

In what way is it an embarrassm­ent to say I am not a Christian? We read in the press at length, people justifying themselves saying they are Christians. It is easy to say but there are some inherent traits and practises one cannot disown as an African. We have to be what we are and be proud of who we are first before anything. — Citizen.

The people of Matida flats, Chimoio and Maonde in Sakubva had three days without power. These areas have communal electricit­y. My take is that we as Zimbabwean­s we just do want to pay for services. Imagine some speaking a year without paying anything to council. Then we expect council to deliver meaningful services. We the little we are getting from our salaries and vending lets pay even a dollar for a day. This habit of freebies should die if we want our services to improve. We should also not vandalise council assets. — Resident.

Right from the start, MDC was formed to destroy the economy through sanctions and stirring the still waters for Zimbabwe to be seen as a burning hive. We have the MDC alliance leaders standing on the shadow of a bully, USA to make threats of shut-downs just to draw world attention by talking of electoral reforms. We should not succumb to such negative pressure. They will always find cracks in the air to see faults in everything we do to move the country forward. Ironically, they tell us when in power will embrace the Government’s policies as if there are blind and deaf to see and hear what the Government is doing. Let us bury these puppets alive on July 30 2018 harmonised elections to keep the real enemy at bay. — Chauke.

Never in our name should anyone make bullet lies about leaders of other countries. This puts us in bad light, particular­ly at this time of re-engagement. These reckless speeches and mischief by the red ants has the bed sheet spread to cover us all as the way we think and conduct ourselves. The Zim brand should be left to shine and we have to protect it like a coveted crown. — Mahuhushe.

My name is Brighton Mukusha and am looking for a woman named Linnety Muvabva who comes from Zaka. — 0775 799 737.

Like a pair of unused parallel railway lines or tracks, your education columnist may be getting rusty due to old age. “The teacher was fired” is perfect English. Refer him to page 533 of the Cambridge Advanced learners’ Dictionary Advanced context number 3 where and when the word ‘fire’ is used to mean ‘to remove someone from a job’. He will do well to exhaust the voluminous hard copy first before commanding readers-“please never say ‘the teacher was fired,” However, it is understand­able on the grounds that he was a teacher and is protecting his legacy. Be that as it is, he is encouraged to update his experience knowledge to match current trends lest he continues to shoot himself in the feet with mistakes and/or errors that do not exist. If he broadens horizon, our intellect wont be insulted. — Reader.

I am puzzled people. At most service stations and some retail outlets there are signs that we should switch our phones yet we want to pay using mobile money. — Mhlanga.

To be optimistic about life, more needs to be done to the health delivery system than be pessimisti­c over the dark side of life where it seems investment­s are being poured into as evidenced by the proliferat­ion of undertaker­s. Let us promote good health and longevity than anticipate early demise of humanity. It appears fortune seekers are hell bent to make a fortune out of other people’s misfortune. The going is mighty good as premiums come in, but a pause for a check out the meticulous scrutiny of records before approval of service is activated to the extent of procrastin­ation of burial arrangemen­ts. Meanwhile, the dear departed deceased ruptures in the mortuary as red tape and bureaucrac­y take centre-stage. — Reader.

Warriors have homework to do. They lost ball possession unnecessar­ily, their passing was inaccurate, spoiled team effort through individual display of dribbling skills and wore brunt shooting boots. Thanks to the goalkeeper hero, otherwise the folly of banking on a slender 1-0 lead was exposed. — CTM.

Our roads have become dangerous of late. The increase in the number of cars has also increased head owns. Pirate taxis and combis which stop anyway are contribute­s. On our highways, speeding and overtaking on the wrong side has led to serious accidents. Before someone drives, he should think of saving lives and not wasting them recklessly. — Tawanda Mhlanga.
