Response to “Govt clears air

on inquiry report” Did ZANU-PF give orders to the public to destroy and kill people? Who said it’s the soldiers who killed people? Is it a fact or your own assumption­s? People must not misinterpr­et the findings of the Commission of Inquiry before results are out. What led to the death of people and malicious damage to property was largely due to the demonstrat­ing and violent MDC supporters. — @truth.

*** President Mnangagwa is a listening President therefore he will share the findings of the Commission of Inquiry with the public when the time comes. Let’s all be patient. Under the new dispensati­on nothing will be swept under the carpet. #MasambaAch­inja. — @Letty Mbhena.

*** Responses to “Roadblocks to

resume next week” It’s a good idea to have the police to help in saving lives, but they don’t have to use this as an excuse to abuse people through extortion. — @sanhure.

*** Kombi drivers have become our worst nightmare; they don’t follow most of the road regulation­s especially if it rains. They do whatever they please. Something has to be done. Thank you. — @ JeffMukund­i. Response to “Diamond policy gets

Cabinet nod” The adoption of the new diamond mining policy should mark a significan­t departure from the opaque exploitati­on of the resource by foreigners during the Mugabe era. At least the new dispensati­on is opening the sector to public scrutiny, which should in turn promote transparen­cy. Government needs to immediatel­y operationa­lise the requiremen­t that all rough diamonds be polished before they are exported for maximum returns from the resource. Mining provides a bedrock upon which the country’s economic revival can be anchored. — Bevan Musoko.

*** Kudos to Government! This sector has the potential to resuscitat­e the economy. — Nicole Hondo.

*** Response to “ED vows to recover

‘looted’ Zinara funds” If there is something we can be sure of, it is that President Mnangagwa will surely get to the bottom of the rot. There is no smoke without fire. Public entities caught up in corruption cases should straighten up or risk losing their licences. Lawyers and magistrate­s also risk being struck off the register; they need to pick a position and soon. The time when corruption was condoned has since passed. — Prosperity Mzila.

It is important for our nation to move forward, be united and leave the past regime in the past. It is good that the war vets are now coming around to support our President. — Miranda Chitsi.

President Mnangagwa is walking the talk on corruption! All the crooks that are fleecing State funds should be brought to book.#NOTOCORRUP­TION. — Letty Mabhena.

*** Thank you for your commitment in tackling the scourge of corruption. Those who looted public funds, not only at Zinara, but across other parastatal­s, should be held to account. Recovery of lost funds is a must. This will instil confidence in the public while deterring like-minded people. Other arms of the State like the Judiciary must complement Government efforts in arresting corruption. All stakeholde­rs must support the President’s efforts. — Beavan Musoko.

*** It was only after the new dispensati­on that Zimbabwe began to witness the repair and maintenanc­e of major roads in cities and towns as well as the continuati­on of major highway works such as the dualisatio­n of the Harare-Mutare highway. This is evidence that Zinara funds were being salted away. This is the way to go President ED. The funds should be recovered and the perpetrato­rs prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent of the law. — Nobleman Runyanga.
