IN response to Protest at your own risk, says Zanu PF, MBUDAYA says: Hear, hear, hear! The hounds are out hunting again. Fix the economy, fix the fuel shortages, fix the currency value disparitie­s, and the masses will not protest. It’s very difficult to stop an idea whose time has come. Just as is, it will be very difficult to stop the protests unless you work magic and fix the mess you have created.

IN response to July 31: West to spread COVID-19 using canisters, PIKIRAYI says: Shut up Zanu PF, you clueless party. Instead of you fixing the country, you are busy mud-slinging, blaming everyone for your utter misdeeds. You have ruined this beautiful country, how shameless you are.

IN response to Churches invite political parties to dialogue, GWIZHIKITI says: I think we have arrived at a situation where dialogue is not even necessary. What is now necessary is that someone admits they have failed this country, that their administra­tion is a disaster and they resign and leave power in the hands of a national transition­al authority or someone who has an idea of how to extricate this country from this quagmire. That person who should be resigning is President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

IN response to ‘Come clean on human rights abuses’, MAZVANYA says: The Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) was there when the army shot dead unarmed fleeing protesters during the August 1, 2018 post-election violence. Does the ZPP think the army will take the blame for shooting the protesters dead? Never! What I have learnt is that most of Africa’s leaders are thugs, who will do anything so as to maintain power. It’s a very good thing to keep our leaders in check, pointing out where they have erred, and emulating where they have made right. Basically, our “thug” leaders will never ever come clean on rights abuses.

IN response to Police to impound cars not displaying registrati­on plates, CHAPUNGU says: Good move there. Cases of robberies are on the rise these days, particular­ly by cars that have no registrati­on plates. It’s high time the police put a stop to this madness. At times, someone bumps into you with their car, which will not be bearing any registrati­on plates, and they run away, it’s very difficult to make that person accountabl­e to their criminal act. So I think this is a positive move by the police. Also, I hope they consider putting cameras on most corners of the capital’s central business district to reduce crime.
