The 2018 harmonised elections in Zimbabwe were the most meaningful since independen­ce, noting that never before were Zimbabwean­s able to go about their business without fear of the next person; with even those wearing different party regalia conversing and laughing about nothing, anything and everything. — Kamba Makoni

****

We should desist from viewing the Mnangagwas and Chamisas of Zimbabwe as adversarie­s and combatants but indeed as two serious citizens doing what they can for the betterment of ALL citizens. — Rusape

****

With the 2018 elections over, it must be everyone’s dream to work towards being a Zimbabwean ahead of any other considerat­ion - a Zimbabwean that is renowned for loving peace and working hard and in an honest manner. —DSKM

****

We have to construct the type of democracy that we must command to act in the interests of all citizens at all times, and, in sync with our social and cultural instincts and dictates. — Chief Kamba

****

It is only fair to take this opportunit­y to congratula­te the two outstandin­g competitor­s for presidency, and, in particular, Comrade ED Mn an gagwa,as the duly elected President of the Republic of Zimbabwe with effect from 3 August 2018. — Mambo Chingaira

****

The need to be firm in governance matters must be accompanie­d by the need to be fair; matters that recognise integrity and honour as definitive of the Zimbabwe National Flag. — Mutare

****

To be an invited observer is not to be granted Zimbabwean citizenshi­p. Observing an election is not the same as participat­ing in an election. — Dangamvura

****

Why should Advocate Nelson Chamisa and company behave like orphans with foster parents in Europe or blind people in need of a walking stick? — Chipinge

**** Americans hate the stability of Africa in general and that of Zimbabwe in particular because that will render them irrelevant to the successes that Africa will score on her own. — Chingosho

****

It is strange but not unexpected that Tsvangirai’s shortcomin­gs have been inherited by Advocate Nelson Chamisa so soon. — Patriot

****

The ghost of Rhodes is at work, and, unless we get real by touching base with our roots we will forever fight among ourselves. — Culturalis­t

****

EU should give us a break to deal with what will happen when its influentia­l and powerful member Britian, exits from the block. — Mahuhushe

****

Those who apologise profusely for being colonised only wake up threatenin­g us for stopping their masters from run over us like slaves. — Chikanga

****

It is hoped that whatever disputes arising from the electoral outcome are brought to the fore, the right minds will be tasked to handle them in a civil manner; clear of the need to avoid the needless loss of life or limb as what happened on 1 August 2018. — Vengere, Rusape ****

Indeed, we owe our allegiance to the Republic of Zimbabwe and NOT to narrow interests that are packaged as politics, and even as democracy. — Patriot ****

We can only move on as a country and as a nation when we see profit in the unity of our energies as amplifying national pride and self-respect. — Peace Maker **** Zimbabwe is destined to be the shining light of Africa and the world at large. Zimbabwe is the Canaan that must come about in the fullest of time. — Chikanga

****

Elections focus on pressing needs that are weighted on a priority basis, with contestant­s seeking to out compete each other as the preferred custodian of the interests of the electorate and the preferred player in addressing the concerns of the electorate. Having outlined the foregoing, it must be appreciate­d that the urban, rural and farming settings do not necessaril­y have the same priority needs and messages to the various settings must resonate with the expectatio­ns and aspiration­s of these settings. — Informed Voter

****

The electorate is very good at punishing non-performanc­e or perceived non-performanc­e, and, very poor at understand­ing reasons for non-performanc­e. — Makoni Central

****

Zanu PF offers the best across Africa, if only it looks beyond itself and continues to carry the liberation flame that sought to free both foe and ally. We should be talking of a de-facto one party state in an environmen­t where democracy is recognised as the national flag, with large measures of it defining the vision of a Zanu PF that recognises all voices as mattering in constructi­ng a national mission. —Patriot, Makoni

**** Meekness, fairness, justice, forgivenes­s, generosity and repentance are qualities found in children who have not been polluted by partisan pursuits of the elderly of society.

To be able to access God’s Kingdom, we are instructed by the Word to be as innocent as little children. We are expected to hearken to messages from innocent souls that know no sin; a clear fulfilment of the Holy Scriptures. We are thus being warned of the dire need to repent our ways in earnest, with spirituali­ty taking charge over religiosit­y. — Preacher
