IN response to Zupco operators lick wounds, KUDA MUGOVA says: As for me, I just say this subsidy must go and let the transport system operate the normal way. The government must channel the funds to salaries for civil servants who are poorly paid.

IN response to ED appeals for divine help against new COVID-19 strain, DUMISANI MAPUNGWANA says: Sometimes President Emmerson Mnangagwa wastes a lot of time doing unnecessar­y things. Yes, prayers are vital but what plans are in place for the pandemic? Do not give God unnecessar­y work. If they are failing to lead, why not just resign. The Bible tells us that divine interventi­on is conditiona­l. If we follow the Lord’s commandmen­ts we will be saved, especially our leadership from across the political divide.

IN response to Man found dead in pool, NOMORE MBOMBERA says: Cases of people drowning are increasing by the day yet no solution is being provided. It is wise for responsibl­e authoritie­s to run campaigns to educate people on the dangers of crossing flooded rivers, swimming while there is no supervisio­n. These issues often go unnoticed, but drowning is a silent killer, just like depression and other not so popular killers. Authoritie­s need to cut these rising statistics.

IN response to Managers swindle $100k from CSC, NKOSIJ JAY says: We are now sick and tired of reading about corruption cases yet nothing is being done or has been recovered. The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission is busy harassing journalist­s for exposing corruption, ignoring real issues where millions of dollars are missing. For a change corruption should be decisively dealt with in this country. For how long shall looters continue to live large on funds that are meant for developmen­t? Right now the Cold Storage Company is a white elephant, but it was once a bluechip company that earned the country the much-need foreign currency. The failure by government to deal with corruption shows it is involved.

IN response to Drama as Zacc swoops on border officials, TICH NDARIRA says: It is now clear that the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) is pursuing minor cases of no value. If Zacc is serious, it should target big fish. Bribes are not demanded, they are offered and hungry officers gladly accept. These are consequenc­es of ignoring workers’ plight.
