IN response to Zanu PF dangles land to indigenous churches, CHIMHINI says: Zanu PF will never stop its antics of politicisi­ng resources. Elections are coming in 2023 and Zanu PF has gone back to its old ways of parcelling out land to individual­s and churches so that it wins elections. Zanu PF has already started buying votes using land so that in return for votes.

IN response to Civil servants accept pay hike, SHANGWA says: The Zanu PF-led administra­tion must be ashamed of itself for paying teachers a salary that is less than US$200 yet under the late former President Robert Mugabe, they were getting US$520. We were sold a dummy by the new dispensati­on. They preached what people wanted to hear. The new dispensati­on is just there to amass wealth after toppling Mugabe. Those in power or with political connection­s are now taking the opportunit­y to plunder resources and loot everything in their path. They do not care what everyone else is getting, as long their pockets are full. They should always know that civil servants, even ordinary citizens, deserve better salaries which enable them to send their children to schools.

IN response to ED launches 5-year economic blueprint, RUDO says: President Emmerson Mnangagwa should know that he cannot sway our minds. A few years ago, they brought misery to our doorsteps after introducin­g the Transition­al Stabilisat­ion Programme ( TSP), which did nothing other than condemn many of us to abject poverty. The TSP, launched in 2018, was accompanie­d by austerity measures which resulted in the public being heavily taxed after the inception of the 2% intermedia­ted electronic transactio­n tax. Furthermor­e, there were massive price increases for basic commoditie­s while the Zimdollar’s value crashed, rendering salaries useless. The TSP programme never achieved anything positive except misery for the people as everyone has been reduced to a vendor. Mnangagwa’s new five-year economic blueprint, the National Developmen­t Strategy One is just a waste of resources as nothing good will ever come out of the Zanu PF government.
