IN response to Stop blame game, West tells ED, TAPIWA says: It is unfortunat­e that any voice of reason directed towards President Emmerson Mnangagwa for him to implement political reforms so as to enable the holding of free and fair elections is being mistaken as regime change agenda. In this country, almost everyone is wrong, from journalist­s, lawyers, churches and civic society, except Zanu PF. Abductions, torture, unwarrante­d arrests, among others, are now common under Mnangagwa’s leadership. This is evidence of a paranoid regime, which will fall anytime. There is need for Mnangagwa to engage other political players. He needs to be brought to his senses and forced onto the negotiatin­g table. There is no way our country can recover economical­ly if it does not recover politicall­y. It is unfortunat­e that Zanu PF thinks or believes that by implementi­ng political reforms, it will be reforming itself out of power. Zanu PF’s time is up. We cannot be stuck with a system that is always in war mode and never developmen­t focused.

IN response to Local ARV producers bemoan prohibitiv­e costs, HWENJE says: We all hope that one day, the World Health Organisati­on will put a stop to all companies that put higher charges on anti-retroviral drugs so that they become affordable, especially in African countries where there is great poverty.

IN response to Only 34% of Zim population insured: Ipec, RANGA says: It is unfortunat­e that the socalled new dispensati­on is presiding over the total collapse of our once prosperous economy when we used to be the breadbaske­t of the southern region. The new dispensati­on is doing even worse than the late former President Robert Mugabe. It’s shocking to note that many of those insured have funeral life cover. These are signs of an economy in coma, where people are only focussing on death instead of developmen­t. This goes on to show that we have lost confidence in President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his administra­tion. The majority of citizens are afraid that their policies will lose value due to runaway inflationa­ry pressures.

IN response to Council, residents clash over US$ billing system, SHARK says: It is only the ordinary persons who suffer enough because they earn their salaries in Zimdollars, yet everything is priced in United States dollars.
