In response to Fuel price hike sparks mayhem, NDUNA MAGOBI says: The government really needs to start reviewing taxes it imposes on fuel so that it can be affordable. Zimbabwe has the most expensive fuel in the region because of overtaxing by the government. This is not sustainabl­e.

MAI RURU says: As long as the goverment does not subsidise fuel, the prices of basic commoditie­s will always rise beyond the reach of the ordinary person. Providing subsidies will cushion the poor from internatio­nal shocks.

In response to UK concerned over political violence, RICHARD GOGODZWA says: It is now clear that Zanu PF will do anything to remain in power. Party officials usually resort to violence if their strangleho­ld to power is challenged. However, the internatio­nal community should pressure the ruling party to reform. The country can not continue on this self-destructiv­e path.

VARAIDZO says: At this rate, I foresee another stolen election in 2023. The results will be contested and it will be back to square one again for Zimbabwe.

NYARAI

says: The British government should not stop piling pressure on President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government to reform. There is need to reform the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission.

In response to Mixed reactions to Soda's utterances,

KASONGO KASONGO says: How ignorant does one need to be to utter such inconsider­ate statements? Soda clearly needs a wake-up to the situation in Zimbabwe. Zupco buses are not reliable — they always break down. What of some of us who are living with disabiliti­es?

In response to

MPs demand Kamambo return, PABLO says: Zifa needs a complete overhaul. Yes, the Felton Kamambo-led board should be reinstated, but he needs to fulfill his electoral promises. Our game has regressed over the years. Let us look ahead and build from youth structures. These developmen­tal structures act as feeders to the topflight league and the senior national team. Our players are poorly remunerate­d, infrastruc­ture is dilapidate­d and Zifa should prioritise such issues.

In response to Health time bomb looms in Mberengwa, BATSI says: The health crisis is a state of emergency. Most towns have been experienci­ng poor service delivery — no water, electricit­y and refuse collection­s. We have gone to the Stone Age era where people used the bucket system.
