IN response to Govt should prioritise war veterans’ welfare, MABASA KABASA says: Why war veterans only when the majority of the people are equally suffering? So the war was fought in order to prioritise the welfare of those who fought in the struggle only?

ABSAI CHAKUNDA says: Why should we be stuck in the past? Life goes on. These war veterans got land and $50 000 as gratuity and they abused it. Why must Zimbabweans suffer because of that? Let us move on.

TONGESAI KUVAWOGA says: It is now 42 years after Zimbabwe attained independence but we are still talking of war veterans’ welfare. That is a joke. What about the welfare of teachers, health workers and civil servants? What is the government doing since they declared incapacitation? Hospitals have run out of essential drugs and schools have no books. That is what should be prioritised rather than rewarding crybabies.

MAI RURU says: The problem with these war veterans is that they behave as if they were the only ones who participated in the liberation war. They forget that even the povo contributed immensely to the struggle. They should stop holding the country to ransom.

IN response to Be warned, ED tells ‘opposition’ chiefs, RUSSELL JON says: Chief Justice Luke Malaba should take interest in such utterances. When taking the oath of office, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said he would uphold the Constitution. Can someone refer Mnangagwa to the same Constitution, especially Chapter 15 which lays out the functions of chiefs. It is clear, traditional leaders should be apolitical.

KUDZAI NYABASA says: Traditional leaders have the right to support political parties of their choice. They belong to the people, not the ruling Zanu PF party, according to the Constitution. Such threats are likely to taint our electoral processes. Some things are better never said.
