IN response to Zanu PF in major climbdown, NGODZA says: It is of paramount importance that people should always be honest with each other especially those in leadership but Zanu PF chefs cannot stand the truth. Actually the country is in a crisis and the only way to resolve the crisis is by engaging in political dialogue with the opposition MDC Alliance party. Besides that the future of the country is bleak because the Zanu PF leadership is ruling the country mafia style.

IN response to Zanu PF blocks handover of MDC-led project, WEZHIRA says: Inasmuch as the ruling Zanu PF party can block the handover of MDC Alliance’s achievemen­ts, this will not deter their voters. Everyone is well aware that as far as developmen­t is concerned, it is only the MDC Alliance which can deliver the desired results. If Zanu PF continues to stand in the way of investors who want to partner the MDC Alliance, this will anger the people who will register their anger in the ballot box come the 2023 elections. Zanu PF must understand that the days of intimidati­ng and harassing political opponents are over. It no longer works in this day and age. Zanu PF must change its tactics for it to survive or face extinction.

IN response to ‘More people to access cheap solar energy by 2030’, BAMBO says: I have a problem with Zanu PF liars. What they promise is easier said than done. When we were growing up, they talked about housing for all by 2000 and made many other promises but they have failed to fulfil any of the pledges. Now they are making other promises thinking 2030 is too far.

IN reponse to Early Christmas for civil servants, DZETSE says: I am running short of words on how best to describe the President Emmerson Mnangagwa-led administra­tion. It is rather shocking to note that a US$75 allowance for civil servants is being regarded as an early Christmas present. Mnangagwa must know that civil servants used to earn US$520 (teachers) now their basic salary is equivalent to US$30 which is a slave wage. Mnangagwa should also know that civil servants want to buy houses, send their children to school, put food on the table, buy clothes and also pay medical bills. So can the US$30 salary plus the US$75 COVID-19 allowance cover all their basic needs. This government is treating civil servants like slaves and it has completely lost touch with what is happening on the ground. Zanu PF should come to the people and acclimatis­e itself to the scorching ground the people are treading on.
