IN response to Ncube scoffs at poverty reports, PFIMBI says: Finance minister Mthuli Ncube does not even deserve to hold that post he has because he is out of touch with reality. Ncube must know that the unemployme­nt rate has reached some unpreceden­ted levels of 95% and that alone tells us about the high levels of poverty. If Ncube still denies this, then he better goes.

IN response to Chiwenga has quarantine­d democracy: Zesn, CHAKADII says: Here is Vice-President Constantin­o Chiwenga who just wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and tells the nation that there will be no by-elections on December 5. Are we still living in a democratic country which is controlled by laws or we are now living in an authoritar­ian leadership whereby everything is anchored on rule by decree? This regime has thrown democracy out of the window. It will take a whole new generation to get back where we had reached. The queue is too long of those who want to rule this country. There are those who fought in the war and the fake ones, those who were driving taxis, who want to appear more war veterans than the real liberators.

IN response to Rowdy Zanu PF supporters attack police with stones,

CHIRWA says: This is what we have always been complainin­g about that violence is the ruling Zanu PF party’s DNA. It must be noted that it is a crime to beat or attack a police officer and it is a chargeable offence because they are the eyes and ears of the State. We now want to see if any one of those hoodlums will be charged. This is where the people like us who see things in a fairer manner will always complain that the law is being applied selectivel­y depending with which political party you are coming from.

IN response to ED in fresh ouster fears, TAMBI says: We hope to see President Emmerson Mnangagwa being pushed out of power very soon if the so-called war veterans are really for the people. Since Mnangagwa got into power with the assistance of the military, people’s lives have changed from bad to worse. Therefore, he deserves to go. It is now very clear that Mnangagwa is a sellout after he agreed to pay white former commercial farmers US$3,5 billion in compensati­on for land expropriat­ed by government for resettleme­nt of landless blacks at the start of the millennium. Mnangagwa must know that the people waged a war against the colonial regime because of land and now paying the whites for land compensati­on is an insult to the people who died for it.
