IN response to Mnangagwa for Life President: Chiwenga, CHIDO CHEMOYO says: Vice-President Constantin­o Chiwenga tried in vain to ease tensions and manage party politics. What is obvious is that the is serious factional fighting in the ruling Zanu PF party. There is disgruntle­ment within the Zanu PF party with regards to how the country is being run. Chiwenga is trying to feign loyalty to his boss. However, it can be said that Zimbabwe has travelled this road before and what followed is a public secret.

IN response to Zera mulls Z$ gas sales, MAPUDEGE says: The government should get its act together. Such policy inconsiste­ncy works against Zimbabwe's aspiration­s. The government should either dollarise or adopt mono-currency. Sitting on the fence scares away investors. The Zimdollar should be given priority. How can the government charge ZBC licences in US dollars?

IN response to Chinese miner invades Dangamvura Mountain, SAMANYIKA says: It boggles the mind why the Chinese always get first preference in these lucrative mining ventures. While we welcome investors of all colours and shades, local laws should be respected. Beginning mining operations without obtaining an environmen­tal impact assessment certificat­e should warrant the cancellati­on of a licence. There should be no sacred cows. Freestone Mine director Ruoxin Qi should not hide behind a finger. We will not listen to his arguments. What nonsense! Qi can go hang, we don't care one hoot.

IN response to Suspension of Zifa ill-advised, MHARA says: Given that Fifa has warned Kenya in no uncertain terms that it risks a ban if it didn't reinstate the suspended federation officials should force us to rethink. It will end in tears. Fifa general-secretary Fatma Samoura told then Kenyan Sports minister that: “I must highlight that the appointmen­t of the so-called caretaker committee by your office is undoubtedl­y contrary to our principles according to which all of our member associatio­ns are required to manage their affairs independen­tly and without undue influence of any third parties. The situation could, therefore, potentiall­y lead to a suspension of the Federation of Kenyan Football by Fifa and in such a case, it would be all of Kenyan football that would suffer the consequenc­es. ”The Sports and Recreation Commission should take heed. Forewarned is forearmed!
