IN response to Funeral parlours warn of mass graves, PIKIRAYI says: It’s sad that people are not taking the COVID-19 pandemic seriously. These parlours are sending a clear message that they are dealing with huge numbers of deaths and are overwhelme­d, which should send shivers down our spines. Our behaviour has a huge bearing on the number of new infections and deaths we are witnessing in this country. We should be worried when these parlours make such statements.

IN response to Zinwa in nationwide water cuts, GWIZHIKITI says: The Zimbabwe National Water Authority is right. We cannot have people and entities not paying bills. We should pay for services rendered.

IN response to ‘Lockdown restrictio­ns fuel corruption’, MWANANGUND­U says: This rings true. During the first lockdown, we saw some individual­s being awarded lucrative government tenders corruptly, and the benefactor­s got away with murder. I also observed that at roadblocks, many people were getting into town as essential service providers, but only to find them milling around with no proper business to do.

IN response to Piped water for Mangwe, Bulilima, DINGINDWAY­O says: I have come to realise that people from Matabelela­nd provinces are united when it comes to developmen­tal issues. They pool resources so that they uplift the communitie­s they come from. They are truly an inspiratio­n, and it should inspire the entire Zimbabwean population to improve our communitie­s collective­ly.

IN response to Undocument­ed Zimbabwean­s denied vaccinatio­n in SA, MBUDAYA says: The Zimbabwean consulate in South Africa should facilitate documentat­ion for Zimbabwean­s living in the neighbouri­ng country. They should benefit from the vaccinatio­n programme as many are assisting in the developmen­t of that country.

IN response to Katsande dismissal angers Yohane, NDABANENGI says: I understand former Warriors leftback Charles Yohane’s anger with regards to the dismissal of Kaizer Chiefs legend Willard Katsande. But the thing is that he was being paid for his services and they don’t owe him a cent. I think we would have been angry had he played for Kaizer Chiefs and then got booted out without being paid for his services. After all, it’s time for other people to play for the club.
