IN response to Dollarise, Mthuli told, CHIVASA says: At this moment in time it is wise for Finance minister Mthuli Ncube to dollarise the economy because it has become unbearable to use the volatile Zimdollar. How does he expect people, who earn salaries in local currency, to pay for goods and services which are being sold in foreign currency? The local currency cannot be relied on due to its instabilit­y.

IN response to ‘US shifting goalposts on re-engagement’, TAURAI MWEPO says: It is the Zanu PF government which has shifted goalposts. When President Emmerson Mnangagwa assumed office in November 2017, he promised that his government would reform, but nothing has changed. The new dispensati­on was a ruse to woodwink people into believing that Zanu PF had changed.

IIN response to Child Parly red-flags drug abuse, MARIO says: The government should act as a matter of urgency before things go out of hand. It should come up with income-generating projects so that young people can have something to occupy them. That drug and substance abuse is rampant is now a public secret.

IN response to Teachers to protest against govt on anti-sanctions day, NYASHA says: The government is wasting taxpayers money lobbying for the removal of sanctions. It could use this money to fund social services such as education and health. This money could also be used as incentives for teachers. The government has for some years been paying teachers peanuts. It should appreciate the role educators play in the developmen­t of the country. For Zimbabwe to boast having one of the highest literacy rates in Africa, it is because of teachers, so asking government to appreciate them is not asking too much.

IN response to Police, soldiers implicated in cattle rustling racket, RONALD SHANGWA says: This is a sad developmen­t. The police and army are there to maintain peace and order. We become worried when they are implicated in cattle rustling rackets. In this case, who will police the police?
