HAPPY birthday Baba R G Mugabe. Makorokoto. Tinotenda Mwari nechipo chakadai uye muwedzerwe mamwe anotewera. — Stanley Meki Mhizha. *** Happy birthday, Your Excellency, President R. G. Mugabe, an African icon. A life preserved by God for a purpose only hidden to the ambitious and short-sighted. May the good Lord bless you with good health. — Clemence James, Kadoma.
*** Any form of xenophobic violence reported in South Africa right now is extremely disturbing, therefore, peace should be unto all of us. Let us respect one another as we are the same in our community. — Lovemore Kashawo, Kuwadzana.
*** Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa should be aware that there is a minimum workforce size that Government should run on. What minimum number of teachers, soldiers, police, drivers and ministers, etcetera, is required to run Government and at what cost?
Rationalisation cannot be done below a certain limit. The best option is to increase production supported by these temporary measures:
1) increase retirement age by about five years, 2) lower salaries by at least a quarter, 3) most new employees like teachers and nurses should be on contract at salaries of say US$300 per month,
4) Reduce the minimum wage to about US$50 per month.
These temporary measures can then be removed when production has improved to acceptable levels. In addition, Government must work towards introducing the Zimbabwe dollar in the shortest possible time to make our exports competitive. - Goto.
*** We understand zvinhu zvakaoma and all of us are not getting full salaries, but if a doctor is going to refuse to assist or operate a seven-year-old with a life-threatening growth on the head or someone dying necancer because hanzi you don’t have US$360, then that raises concern to say the least.
So, should the child die? Or should you not treat mwana then deal with the parents, even kuenda navo kucourt chaiko? Every parent would spend six months in prison asi mwana wake asina kufa. Health authorities, please do something. - Concerned Parent.
