IN response to Former ZimInd editor Wetherell dies, MUNYA says: Former Zimbabwe Independent editor, Iden Wetherell, who died last week, was a masterful storyteller. Expert wordsmith. He would loosen up a sentence or tighten it to make it precise, vivid and amazing. May the lessons he taught us live forever.

IN response to Lack of credit unsettling Zimbabwe's industries, TAWANDA MADHAVA says: Zimbabwe is open for corrupt and shady deals. As long as the new dispensation does not decisively deal with corruption, the economy will remain in the woods. Corruption makes a country risky for investment. No sane banking institution would want to extend funds to companies that are operating in such an environment. Sort out the risk factor and the much-needed lines of credit will start flowing in.

IN response to Investors shunning us: ED, BOND MAN-G says: Who can invest in a country whose own people are running away from it. There are millions of highly educated professionals and technicians in the diaspora and some are already changing citizenship because of poor governance back home.

BRIGHTON CHAGUMA says: Does funding always have to come from private investors? How about channelling proceeds from our natural resources such as gold, platinum, coal, among others, to such project? Sanctions, my foot!

ALLEN MATUKU says: Investors are shunning Zimbabwe because your policies are stupid and inconsistent. Your human rights record also is a cause of concern. Get your act right, investors will flock to Zimbabwe.

DZIDZAI CHIDUMBA says: It is okay Mr President, you have done well with what you have, we see the roads are being fixed and dams being constructed. Investors will come, don't worry, please stay the course. We are proud of you!

KELVIN MASEKO says: President Emmerson Mnangagwa should ask himself hard questions. Why is the simple question he must ask himself and surely the answer is there for everyone to see. The country has gone back to lawlessness under his watch — property seizures, abuse of State machinery for political expediency, human rights abuse, captured Judiciary and lack of investor confidence made worse by the clueless Finance minister, just to mention a few.
