IN response to High Court rejects Malaba’s term extension, TAFARA DAHWA says: I hope whoever will be appointed the next chief justice will bring sanity, partiality and independence to our justice system. That is all we want, fairness not lawfare.

SIMBA says: We will keep hoping because at one point we never thought the late former President Robert Mugabe was going to fall so easily, but it happened. Change sometimes comes with generational change over. Young legal minds can transform our judiciary. We should not be pessimistic.

BRIGHT GWAZE says: With this judgment and the jubilation I am seeing around, especially from the opposition, it tells me that we still have a vibrant judiciary system in Zimbabwe. If the courts can rule against both the government and the chief justice, then surely the courts are not captured. I have seen today that those who accuse our courts of being captured would have fairly lost in their cases.

IN response to Let’s mend Zim image together: Shava, KELVIN MASEKO says: Foreign Affairs minister Frederick Shava should first tell his boss to stop persecuting and battering journalists. As of 2017 (before the coup) the country's economic situation was not very bad. But now it has been taken down the valley — panel-beaten by Finance minister Mthuli Ncube and gang — further destroyed by the clueless Presidium. It is an uphill task to restore it to some form of decency, especially under the current regime.

ISAAC CHIDAKWA says: The so-called new dispensation persecutes journalists, opposition supporters and twist the Constitution to suit private interests, then it expects other people to cover its dirty tracks. Worse still, looters and corruption perpetrators are being protected by the regime and it expects the people to help it mend its frosty relations with the West? This is wishful thinking.

MATHEW NDLOVU says: The government must do the right thing economically, politically and socially. There won't be any need to coerce journalists to write positively, their deeds would tell the story. The opposition would also quietly withdraw to the background.
