IN response to Mnangagwa in secret visit to Marange, RABAHUMA says: President Emmerson Mnanagwa's visits and trips are always private because they do not benefit the suffering Zimbabwean in Dotito. It is the poor taxpayer who fund these costs. We are aware that the visit was meant to touch base with the new Johanne Marange Apostolic leader and solicit for votes ahead of the 2023 elections.

IN response to Spiking child,

adult sex cases worry govt, TERRENCE ARIEL MURPHY says: If Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprise­s minister Sithembiso Nyoni is concerned about the plight of women, then she should resign from Zanu PF. Policies put in place by the ruling party are at the centre of denigratin­g women. Women have lost their dignity because of Zanu PF's ill-advised policies. It is now 42 years with Zanu PF in power and the result is backwardne­ss and retrogress­ion in every aspect of our existence. IN response to ‘ED measures show desperatio­n’, TINOS JURO says: What President Emmerson Mnangagwa is doing is showing that these are the last kicks of a dying horse. He no longer has an idea on how to take forward the economy except the use of power to retain power.

IN response to Examinatio­n fees shocker, RUTH SIMBI says: What else would the people expect from a government that is credited for bringing poverty to the doorstep of Zimbabwean­s? The Zanu PF government inherited a “jewel of Africa” from the Ian Smith regime and nothing is left of it 42 years later. They are making sure the poor die selling airtime and fruits at road intersecti­ons because they cannot afford even primary education. Who ever thought that Grade 7s would be required to pay examinatio­n fees? While other countries are introducin­g free education, Grade 7 candidates will pay $4 388 as examinatio­n fees. Where will a parent in Binga get this money when she can hardly put food on the table? This is sad considerin­g that President Emmerson Mnangagwa has promised free education.

MAI CHANGA says: The Zanu PF government has failed. Education is now the preserve of the rich. We need new leaders.
