IN response to Low turnout for anti-sanctions march, MUDOVI says: This is a joke to say the least. The people of Zimbabwe are now mature and the low turnout for the anti-sanctions march shows that people know where our problems are coming from. We must first accept that we are in an economic crisis created by bad political decisions made by the Zanu PF administra­tion, which have nothing to do with sanctions as many would have the gullible and ignorant among us believe. The people now know that we are in a political crisis and it has to be resolved. Sanctions are not the problem, it is President Emmerson Mnangagwa who is the biggest problem because he continues to use the late former President Robert Mugabe’s template. All those who participat­ed in the anti-sanctions march are the Zanu PF chefs who turned up with their close families so that they make the outside world believe Zimbabwean­s marched against sanctions yet they are doing it to protect their ill- gotten wealth.

BAMBO says: The failure by people to attend the anti-sanctions march in their numbers shows that sanctions are not real and as usual Zanu PF’s lies have been exposed as the people no longer believe them. Lies will never last for ever and what is now needed is for the ruling party to reform and put in place proper governance structures as the people have lost faith in them. If they don’t reform so that the sanctions will be removed then they must be prepared to face the people on the streets or they will be thumped by the Nelson Chamisa-led MDC Alliance party, come 2023.

IN response to Govt to decentrali­se issuance of birth certificat­es, CHOTSI says: It is a shame that the President Emmerson Mnangagwa-led government prides itself in decentrali­sing the issuance of birth certificat­es 40 years after independen­ce which should have been done in the early 1980s to show that it is developmen­toriented. This is a failure on the part of Zanu PF. It should have taken the issue seriously when the people voted for it in 1980. The Zanu PF-led government should be taken to task for failing to develop the country while it engaged in massive corruption and gross human rights abuses.
