IN response to ED douses backyard flames, MUCHIMUKA says: It is expected of President Emmerson Mnangagwa to lead the democratic process in Zanu PF, but his move to block factional leaders from contesting to protect his ally Larry Mavima in Midlands province is scandalous. We know that factionalism is deep-rooted in Zanu PF and it rears its ugly head during the time of internal polls when plotting would be the order of the day. This shows that Zanu PF members are power hungry and are prepared to assume leadership positions by hook or crook. Mnangagwa should be warned that his days are numbered because of his failure to respect people’s freedom.
IN response to Unity Day commemorations now ritualistic, meaningless, MLEZU says: When the Unity Accord was signed in 1987 there was hope that it was ushering us into a life of equal opportunities but, alas, it has proved otherwise. We continue to play second fiddle to people in other parts of the country in terms of opportunities and development. Bulawayo used to be the country’s industrial hub but now it is a pale shadow of its former self. All industries have closed. President Emmerson Mnangagwa continues saying his government will do something to reinvent the wheel but it is taking long. We have lost hope. The Unity Day is, indeed, meaningless to us in this part of the country.
IN response to Govt urged to capacitate RG’s Office, TJ CHITAWEL says: This is, indeed, a clarion call to the governement not to sleep on duty while its citizens struggle to acquire identity documents. According to the Constitution, a national identity document is a right but government has made it difficult for people to access them. On numerous occasions we have heard President Emmerson Mnangagwa, unashamedly claiming that sanction were to blame for the mess at the Registrar-General’s office. Mnangagwa recently launched a plant to process e-passports, despite the same having been launched by his predecessor the late Robert Mugabe in 2016 but the department never printed even one e-passport. Mnangagwa must know that launching and producing are two different things. We want tangible things.
IN response to Zim snooping on citizens to quash dissenting voices, GUMBONZVANDA says: Government should be open to criticism and also level the political field. We want democracy to take the lead as divergent voices are good for nation building.
