IN response to Robbers hijack bus, mug 40 passengers, SAMAITA says: The case of robberies being perpetrate­d on passengers exposes the high level of corruption in the Zimbabwe Republic Police because, honestly, how did the Boundary Express bus leave Mbudzi roundabout at 9pm headed for Beitbridge, especially during this period of a COVID-19-induced curfew? It means these buses are travelling at night despite that a curfew is in place. Police Commission­er-General Godwin Matanga must call his charges to order.

IN response to ‘Opening schools suicidal’, TARISAI MHATSO says: How long shall schools continue to be closed as a result of a rise in COVID-19 infections? One thing for sure is that coronaviru­s is with us, therefore, we must find ways of managing the disease and put in place mechanisms that schoolchil­dren do not miss class. Our children need to continue with their education while observing the COVID-19 protocols.

IN response to Destroyed roads, bridges repaired: Transport ministry, TURIKAI SHANGO says: I don’t know why our leaders are in the habit of lying all the time. I would like to urge the Transport ministry to check its records and visit Mupembezi Bridge in Gutu, Muchekayao­ra near Gato shops and see how people are crossing the river there because the bridge is damaged.

IN response to RBZ orders banks to pay interest on deposits, ROMBERAI says: For once, Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor John Mangudya is trying to restore confidence in the banking sector. Mangudya seems to have done well, unfortunat­ely the Zimdollar is now useless such that the interest will be as good as nothing.

IN response to ‘Health sector yearns for urgent capital injection’, FAMBAI SHATO says: It is every Zimbabwean’s wish to see an improvemen­t in the health sector, but as the situation stands, nobody is interested in investing in a sector where crocodiles are waiting to feast on the prey. As long as those who dip their hands in public coffers are not heavily punished, corruption will not stop and our hospitals will continue to be death traps. Our hospitals do not even have latex gloves or even painkiller­s in stock. What a shame!
