Response to “Zim’s Muzarabani oil project has the potential to produce 3,9 trillion cubic feet of gas and 181 million barrels of convention­al gas” The land of Zimbabwe is blessed. Surely it’s the land of milk and honey. This can only mean that a lot of countries will be interested in Zimbabwe. — @simbamahac­hi. *** Response to “CAPS end barren spell” As a great CAPS United supporter, I suggest that Jere should rest and also the old guys in the team. Please take in new blood. — @Sokolenny. *** Response to “Harare City strengthen Waddilove deal” The project at Harare City has always looked very progressiv­e. This particular case shows how serious this institutio­n is in the developmen­t of football in general. Not many will note their progress from the time the council launched the team in the local premiershi­p! Big thumbs-up to the city fathers! — @Dalai Lama.

Responses to “HAIL THE CHAMPIONS . . . Mapeza mines Pure Platinum again” Congratula­tions to FC Platinum and Nomara. And yes, that is an interestin­g statistic on Devon Chafa, serial winner indeed. — Lot Chitakasha. *** Well done Mapeza. Congratula­tions to you and FC Platinum. — Godfrey Mutandwa.

*** Response to “Govt committed

to price stability” Government should subsidise the prices of basic commoditie­s to ensure affordabil­ity by the majority in rural areas. Rural people are suffering the most. If the landing price of delight cooking oil is $2,50 and the bond rate is 1:3,5 then cooking oil could cost $8,75 and it would be available, but beyond the reach of ordinary Zimbabwean­s. Maybe bonds should be withdrawn and have the economy running again. — Abigail Hungwe. *** Response to “Comment: Time business spoke against sanctions” Local price madness should be sorted out. Most supermarke­ts maintain the high prices with no sign of reduction. They are taking advantage of the absence of any law to fleece the consumers. Sanctions can be tackled later, there are bigger problems domestical­ly. — Gerald Shongwe.

If there is no leakage of forex from official institutio­ns then the obvious source of forex on the black market are people in the Diaspora who send home US dollars through Mukuru, Western Union, Money Gram, and by means of public transport. Those who receive such money in hard currency never use the banking system, but the black market. Those who sell tobacco get some of their payouts in forex. Smallscale gold miners also get forex. If these guys get the forex as cash then obviously it finds its way to the black market. Banks should never dispense forex as cash until we are able to generate enough through exports. — Goto.

Response to “Good times will soon roll — ED” Happy belated birthday President, we are eagerly waiting for the good times under your leadership. To my fellow Zimbabwean­s, let us all be optimistic and wait patiently. Things will eventually fall into place. — Marian Mdadi. *** Response to “Mutendi praises First Lady’s works” The First Lady deserves all these praises. She is indeed a woman of valour; a true mother who has the people at heart. She has divorced herself from politics and is doing a great job. — Perseveran­ce Khosa. *** Response to “Econet restructur­es Kwese TV” If I am not wrong this thing started with TelOne Video on Demand streaming service. But because these parastatal­s are lethargic, the private sector was quick to pounce on their ideas and innovation­s and capture the market. Sorry TelOne. — Goto.
