IN response to Govt suspends EcoCash, 3 other platforms, JACOB KUDAYI MUTISI says: Zimbabwe is a country that has 96% of its electronic transactio­ns being mobile money. I just hope that what I have been told is not true. How in the world can a country on “crypto-currency” ban the currency that is driving the economy. As the chairperso­n of the Zimbabwe Informatio­n and Communicat­ion Technologi­es, a division of the Zimbabwe Institutio­n of Engineers, I am calling on the government not to ban mobile money, but make it the currency of choice. We are one of the first countries to take up“crypto-currency”and we have to keep going.

IN response to ‘Govt ignores striking nurses’, PIKIRAYI says: We will never go anywhere with this government. They are all thieves who are busy lining their pockets. They do not care about everyone else's welfare, but their own families. These issues need to be addressed one way or the other. Surely President Emmerson Mnangagwa, a beneficiar­y of the November 2017 military coup, would not upstage his former boss, the late Robert Mugabe, so that he (ED) would leave a chequered history, tainted with corruption, abductions, economic mess, nepotism, etc. He should not be that wreckless, worse for someone who took over after Mugabe's mess with the economy and the chaotic land reform.

IN response to Chamisa loses Harvest House row, GWIZHIKITI says: Opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa should let go of the Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House. He now has the support of the people. The 2018 rallies and ballot votes are evidence to all this. I see that he has one problem: He suffers from confidence crisis. Let it go and chart a new path. Whatever name you give to your new party, the people are ready. Just get to listen to what others are saying, take advice of what your team thinks is good and discard all bad advice. Go for it, the people are ready. Don't promise what you cannot do. You promised to give them a signal, and when the hour came, you said nothing. Instead, you told your supporters that the hunger in their houses was the signal. These people want you at the forefront, they want to hear you are there with them. Twitter posts will not change Zimbabwe's fortunes. Your boss, the late Morgan Tsvangirai was never on Twitter. Remember all the battering he had to go through when he was Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union secretary-general, and even when he became MDC founding leader. He was bashed for believing in change.
