IN response to Gukurahund­i is my priority, BABA REANE

TAKAIDZA says: It is unfortunat­e that some sections of society want us to believe that the Gukurahund­i issue was resolved in 1987 when the two warring parties signed the Unity Accord. This lie should be dismissed with the contempt it deserves. The only way to resolve the issue is to bring perpetrato­rs to book. Everyone knows who the mastermind­s of Gukurahund­i are? Those who were at the forefront must be held accountabl­e. Unity Accord had two motives: (1) silencing government critics, especially Zapu, which was demanding closure of the thorny issue, by bringing the late Joshua Nkomo in the Zanu PF structures (2) creating a one-party State.

MAI RURU says: Citizens Coalition for Change leader Nelson Chamisa is spot on that the Zanu PF government has no appetite to resolve the Gukurahund­i issue. For the past decades, Zanu PF has been ducking the issue. It is hoped that Chamisa is being sincere about the issue. It is also hoped that Chamisa is not politickin­g. A lot of promises have been made to the people of Matabelela­nd, but nothing has materialis­ed. The Matabelela­nd Zambezi Water Project has for decades been on the drawing board despite Zanu PF's numerous promises to revive it. Chamisa should walk the talk.

MUSOROBHAN­GU says: It is high time Zimbabwe introduced a law that makes politician­s accountabl­e for their electoral promises. We are fed up with empty promises.

IN response to History may explain SA's refusal to condemn Russia invasion Ukraine, SIMBA SIEGE MUSONZA says: I think this has more to do with Brics (acronym coined to associate five major emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and their New Developmen­t Bank, which is headquarte­red in South Africa. Brazil is the only Brics member that voted against Russia at the United Nations. With these sanctions against it, Russia and China are going to bolster Brics influence as an alternativ­e global economic and financial bloc

— especially in Africa.

SIMBARASHE MUSAMBASI says: Voting is a democratic process, therefore, no one should be questioned about their choice.
