IN response to Teachers’ strike: Govt wields axe, GIFT GUVAMOMBE says: It’s not about incentives, but their take home salary.

JUSTICE TONDERAI MANHIRI says: 20% of nothing is nothing. Government should be more serious about remunerati­ng its workers. We need a government that has a heart. I have reason to believe that the Emmerson Mnangagwa administra­tion has the capacity to pay its workforce, but is just unwilling.

STEVEN MAKWILI says: President Emmerson Mnangagwa saw an opportunit­y to manipulate so that he could get votes.

PHILIP DAMBA says: Students are suffering the most. How do you expect them to pass when there is no learning going on?

TANAKA TSAPI says: The teachers’ strike is not hurting government, but the poor. We are going to have a lost generation education-wise, which President Emmerson Mnangagwa‘s government will never be able to correct. An uneducated society leads us nowhere. Since the year 2000, we have had hundreds of teacher strikes that have achieved nothing. Already, the pupils have lost two years of education and developmen­t due to COVID-19 and the teachers are making it worse. Get me right, I’m not supporting government, but I am being sympatheti­c with schoolchil­dren.

IN response to Opposition should stop day-dreaming: Mutinhiri, JOSEPH TONDONDO says: I pity her. Tracy Mutinhiri can actually see the tsunami wave building up and approachin­g and she knows the consequenc­es, but she goes against the tide. It’s unfortunat­e that there is no going back in the drive to topple Zanu PF. Mutinhiri and her compatriot­s are headed towards a steep cliff.

WILLIAM CHIKONYERA says: Her espionage mission came to zero, more so after the most recent resurrecti­on of the original MDC — CCC.

IN response to A tale of two teams, OLIVER MUCHAZONDI­DA says: Let us not forget that Senegal has academies, which is its foundation for good players.

IN response to No joy from RBZ governor, SAMUEL JACHIE says: Engineers learn from their mistakes and record them as wasted resources or near misses and try by all means not to repeat them. But it’s not the case in finance. Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor John Mangudya’s formulas are not working, hence he opts to oppress the poor.
