CHINA is as great and as monstrous as it is today because it had its set of scruples that instructed her to grow and develop at her own pace and scoffed at external pressures that sought to design political and economic parameters on her behalf. Whatever treasure we have must not be subject to parading to the hyenas that are only too happy to descend on us using the silliest of excuses like they did to Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and others. — Ishe Kamba Makoni.

Surely, the current Government is working extra hard with the process of re-engaging with international partners and creditors to clear all local and external debts. It is encouraging to realise that Minister Mthuli Ncube is one of those Cabinet Ministers working around the clock to ensure that our country to prospers. We hope great developments will continue to be seen because the time to rebuild Zimbabwe is now. It is my sincere hope that our mantra for economic revival will not be in vain. — Terrence Mwedzi, Mutare.

Why would Dangamvura go for the whole week without water? A tanker bought water only once and distributed two buckets per household. Worse still not every household received the paltry precious liquid. Is this an advisable thing for the local authority to do in the midst of the Cholera outbreak? Are our home, schools and health institution safe without water for seven days per week? This is a ticking time bomb. Mutare City should wake up. — Resident

Just as the cholera outbreak is a great cause for concern, the raging fires destroying our forests and grasslands need to be brought under control too. These fires contribute immensely to the depletion of the ozone layer. They also pose a serious threat to human and wildlife. If lighting a forest fire is a necessity, then the person lighting it must put measures in place to ensure that the fire does not burn beyond the intended area. There is also need to alert neighbours, despite having put fire control measures in place. — Nhamo Muchagumisa, Odzi.

Mary Mount students at Manesa Primary School are more of teachers than tertiary students, please keep the ball rolling. — Ticha Tika Manesa, Chipinge.

Until such a time as when City of Mutare is able to despatch water and services statements on time to meet accounting date deadline, they must stop raising interest. — Ratepayer

The gay master has resigned, but what must worry parents most is that he wants the boys to come for extra lessons at his private residence. It is scary that we even have black people defending his abominable confession just because of the race of the person involved. — Mahuhushe

The UN is encouraged by the paradigm shift in the Zimbabwean politics. The setting up of a seven-member Commission of Inquiry into the violent protest that led to the unfortunate death of six people in Harare on August 1, 2018 has excited the international community. It is a waste of time to protest against such a leader whom the world has resolved to give a chance. —Tafara
***** Zimbabweans in the diaspora must act as ambassadors who market the brand Zimbabwe. It is a shame that instead, foreigners like members of the December 12 Movement are doing that. History will surely judge these unpatriotic Zimbabweans harshly. — Shumba

We must concentrate on demolishing political walls of pride and prejudice and galvanise our efforts into a single people with an agreed national agenda that must be executed with the blessing of all the energies found within our borders. We must take pride in ourselves before we do so with outsiders, and, meet the outer world as a united people. Let us take a leaf from the strategies used by successful nations and build our own strategies with Zimbabwean characteristics. United we become stronger, and divided we lose even what we thought we had. — Donald Sarudzai Makoni

If Zambia, Kenya and Ethiopia have become victims of borrowing what they cannot pay back to China and are losing assets that include precious land, are we too illiterate to understand what less literate nations have experienced? Trade, finance and investment are wheels that oil industrialisation and are necessary to the extent that we will be able to realise this goal. If, on the other hand, we fail to distinguish between the woods and trees, we will soon become the breakfast, lunch and supper for foreigners who are essentially racist and narcissist. —Patriot *****
