IN response to Govt sweats over Rwandan fugitive links, HALLMANN HUNTER says: The government has to come clean on this issue. There is a lot of inconsiste­ncies and gaps in the narrative that the government is proffering. If the government is sure that its hands are clean, it should hand over Mengistu, an Ethiopian former army officer and politician, who is accused of killing thousands during his tenure as head of State of Ethiopia from 1977 to 1991. Denial is the Zanu PF government's speciality. It is no surprise it denies atrocities it perpetrate­d on its citizens in the infamous Gukurahund­i era in the 1980s.

IN response to RBZ threatens to ‘name, shame’ borrowers, JOSEPH MBERI says: What does naming and shaming help the country? It is a futile exercise. Imagine the police naming and shaming criminals without effecting any arrests. Do you think the criminals will stop their acts because you have named them? On March 19, 2018, President Emmerson Mnangagwa released a list of 1 844 alleged “externalis­ation” cases implicatin­g top government officials and companies, but the issue died a natural death. This is cheap politickin­g on the part of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.

CASANDRA BEATTIE says: I bet my last dollar, this will never happen. I doubt if the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe will name them because the borrowers have connection­s with top government officials.

EDISON CHACHA says: Why name and shame instead of name and prosecute? If this threat is seen through, I am sure all Zanu PF politburo members and their surrogates will be named and shamed and then nothing happens.

IN response to Battle of Zimbabwe abandoned, SHEPHERD NYAHWA says: This is sad. Our refereeing leaves a lot to be desired. How can there be contradict­ion between the assistant referee and the man in the middle?

GEORGE says: The match between Highlander­s and Dynamos is always a fiercely contested battle. Referees should be careful, especially in awarding penalties and giving players marching orders. I think showing Bill Antonio the red card was too harsh. Such refereeing can trigger crowd trouble.
