Response to “Govt to liberalise maternity leave” I agree wholeheart­edly. Women should not be punished for taking time off to give birth. When laws are written by men then expect inequaliti­es. — @wilsonjay.

*** Thank you The Herald for sharing with us this critical artistic impression of what happened. There are crucial defensive driving lessons to be picked from here and it also reveals that there was an element of stubbornne­ss by the truck driver and the oncoming bus. The suspicions are that most accidents are caused by human error and the idea that someone claims to have right of way, very sad. — @Eliah.

Response to “Former commission­er-general prejudices Zimra of

nearly 12 million” It’s high time stiffer penalty were passed on corrupt culprits. The country is losing millions of dollars due to corruption. — Canias Muzanenham­o.

*** Response to “Zinara/Noic officials use personal accounts for business”

I think this is the worst case of failing to do your job! How can someone use personal accounts for business? This is unheard of. Zimbabwean­s let’s be serious! Heads must roll and such people should be dealt with. — Martin Hungwe.

*** Response to “Govt to liberalise

maternity leave” A progressiv­e and good developmen­t. Employers must not discrimina­te women for this very good idea. Government must ensure that employers do not use this as a basis for not employing women. Government must pick up part of the bill or give employers a tax benefit! — Claris Kutama.

The Matter Award that the First Lady received came from hard work. Our First Lady is also working tirelessly with our President to push the developmen­t agenda. Keep it up our mother. — Anold Tinoda Mupfawi.

*** Response to “Wheat imports: Grain

millers come to the rescue” Wonderful news about the wheat for bread and biscuits for Christmas. But what will be the price of a loaf? I hope still $1,10 and not $4 as some robbers are talking about? — Nelson Moyo.

*** Response to “47 perish

in horror bus crash” I think this is a result of recklessne­ss on the part of the Smart Express bus crew that resulted in the loss of innocent lives. Barely a month ago, Smart Express was involved in another accident in Zimunya, killing innocent souls. This has nothing to do with the condition of roads or the economy. Like the famous Mhunga buses whose operating licence was cancelled, I think the Government should cancel the operating licence for passenger transporta­tion for this guy and maybe allow him to venture into haulage trucks. May I take this opportunit­y to convey my condolence­s to the grieved families. — Agricultur­alist.

Response to “Bond not the problem — Mangudya” We could just ask the same question you asked: Where are the RTGS balances coming from? Given that RTGS is a transactio­n management system, EcoCash and every other electronic systems are apps to enable transactio­n of money the central bank creates and knows where it is created from, monitors its flows and manages and ensures trust in the token “I Promise to Pay the Bearer.” Since we don’t seem to have a clear answer on where the problem is emanating from and yet it is the “elephant in the room”. I think we should come to the conclusion that the RBZ has failed to play its role effectivel­y. We would not be the first nor the last to do away with a central bank. As long as we don’t solve the currency issues, as long as we are not transparen­t about it then we have a security threat on our hands because we do not know who we are beholden to. Let’s be decisive on this issue and deal with it as soon as possible or we will continue to be eluded by the dream of a successful and prosperous Zimbabwe. — Wilson Magaya. The Herald
