IN response to ED dodges dying Zimdollar, MAI SHUMBA says: That’s a thorny subject for President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Austerity measures have failed to work, so has his National Developmen­t Strategy 1. When the currency catches a cold, the economy sneezes. Mnangagwa’s government is just being adamant for nothing, but things have gone haywire. The Zimbabwe dollar is trading at 1:360 against the greenback on the black market, a sign that the much-touted local currency is no longer serving its purpose.

IAN TAVARERA says: Government has announced plans to introduce a new denominati­on, the $100 bill. What is sad about it is that the new denominati­on cannot even buy half a loaf of bread, yet the regime continues to act like everything is normal.

KINLEY CHUMA says: This man doesn’t care about a dying dollar. In fact, Zanu PF has never cared because it has looted everything it can lay its hands on. This is why we have people who will stand by and support Zanu PF because they are heartless.

IN response to Attend Zanu PF meetings, CCC tells rural supporters, HUORI JECHA says: The opposition Citizens Coalition for Change should continue invading Zanu PF stronghold­s and preach the gospel of change there.

IN response to Zanu PF forcemarch­es Bulawayo vendors, MBUDAYA says: Zanu PF should reform and let people support it out of love, not through coercion.

IN response to Fired judge given 2 weeks to return govt property, PIKIRAYI says: The other sitting judges should by now have seen that the powers-that-be do not care how long you have served, they will still find ways to get rid of you. Look at how Justice Erica Ndewere was gotten rid of. Now Justice Thompson Mabhikwa has been relieved of his duties. Justice Edith Mushore is said to have gone AWOL.

IN response to Open defecation visits new passport office, GWIZHIKITI says: I have moved around many government offices and realised that many toilets are in a bad state. Government should lead by example. President Emmerson Mnangagwa has introduced the clean-up campaign and this should start in government offices. Also, our courts are areas of concern when it comes to cleanlines­s.
