More MDC defections looming. Do you agree that those who are defecting from MDC-T were never genuine members in the first place – only political opportunists?
Who’s this senior Zpf official talking about Mdc T defections? Just wishful thinking! We know that Zpf is going around waving wads of money to the loose minded likes of Erik knight, telling them to defect. – Gain Sibanda
EXCLUSIVE! Tortured activist on the run as cops fabricate charges . Do you believe the offices were petrol bombed – or that the fire was the result of an accident?
Scapegoat for sure. This is not new to some of us. – Mehleli Ndlovu
This is so sad and unfair, why in this 21st Century and in a “democratic” society should this be happening? When are we going to come to that place of being comfortable to express ourselves without fear of intimidation? – @QueenNosipho
As Zimbos, we need to reclaim our democratic space by voicing our concerns and participating in civic issues – @ActivateZimbabw

GMO debate continues, despite looming starvation. Should Zimbabwe import GMO foodstuffs?
I am divided on this subject because when facing starvation, we need to feed the masses with whatever is available, however we need to be weary of which of the GMO we are being offered. Waiting for the Gov to make a decision? Well, l think by now they should have done their homework on GMO – @QueenNosipho

I however salute the ExIm Bank of China. They have recently given Zim $350m to expand power generation In Kariba. We will see 300MW being added to the national grid, at the end of the project. The loan is very concessionary, interest is 2 percent and repayable over 20 years. Just giving credit where it’s due. – Clémence Machadu

Wow that’s a lot of digs, I’ve noticed they don’t tend to respond to overt criticism in China so well… I wonder how that affects your business deals? It hasn’t done so well for their human rights, and as you’ve noticed they don’t really give a hide about your elephants or rhinos either. – Avanza Vaile
As a young entreprenueer we need economic emancipation, the gvmnt 2 be facilitative ensuring that conditions are put into place to translate our ideas into products and services. – Ndumiso Mhlanga
@clemence machadu> yes I commend China for its gesture, however we shouldn’t be begging for money now bcoz we have our diamonds… the million dollar question is* Where is the diamond money? – Gain Sibanda

What methods should be used for discipline instead of corporal punishment?
Positive reinforcement for one. Consistency. How did you learn to walk? Learn to talk? Learn to read? Did someone smack you every time you fell down? Did someone hit you every time you pronounced a word wrong? That is ridiculous. To associate negative reinforcement with a thing that is not negative turns it into something ill and ugly. It distorts it so that it cannot be the thing it was intended to be, and so the neural pathways that you build become attached to emotions and triggers that are useless and stimulate more violence and abuse out of seemingly nowhere, and you all wonder why? – Avanza Vaile
ID scam warning for Ndebeles in SA. Do you know anyone who has fallen prey to this scam?
Its no scam, Anc wants to boost up its support base as elections are around the corner. This is akin to vote rigging. -Gain Sibanda

Fortunately no. I wonder why they were targeting the Ndebeles though? – @QueenNosipho

MATTERS of the heart – Too many chores. Do you think kids should be made to do chores at home?
Sorry my friend, but you should make sure that your children are not doing the adult’s tasks. Their duties are schooling,eating, playing,sleeping and even enjoying their childhood.house chores are the mature peoples’ task, especially you and your wife – Ntuyehe Francois
Chores are your wife’s job. The childrens job is to be children. Assistance is one thing. Work is another. Everything in moderation. Find a fair/responsible balance. – Antonia Amyot
While training and coaching the kids is commendable, your wife should not overload them with chores. She has to balance between the two, homework and household chores. – Charles Ndlovu
They shld help yes but also give them time to study. – Shadreck Mbiragai
They should but child labour should be avoided….that line has to be drawn in the home and society…. – @tawandachimhini
Of course they should help at home, just a question of balance.. – @Quedsy
Debt cancellation pushes country to new crisis – Matumbike. Do you agree or disagree with the cancellation of ratepayers’ debts by local authorities?
Most of those debts were fictitious and they were never going to be paid. It was just a recipe for confrontation with the people, thumbs up to Chombo who managed to defuse the stalemate. – Gain Sibanda

Demolitions will not make for government planning deficiency. Is it not inhuman for the Govt to demolish people’s houses without a concrete clear alternative plan? Why now after elections?
Honestly is that a question, to save face and allow campaign to flow in their favour.thats politics anywhere and everywhere. Gvt has every right to send them packing those illegaly settled, but dont make the focus abt sending them packing, make it abt the solution after they’r sent, because they will be.and most of these people are just reluctant to accept their situations, kungoda zvedhorobha ivo vasingakwani, gvt ressetled a lot of people and still is onto gd spaces of land, some can start afresh there not ku hardhira dhorobha as tho they cant live without city life, rather than fyt a solid system, focus should be on developing in it – Kevin Mkombo
@kevin mkombo.. Town & village has become the same mind u. We have heard of mass evictions of opposition supporters in the villages perpetrated by this Zpf regime. Again take it from me *town and village life is interdependant. – Gain Sibanda
At least someone (who can be heard) is asking all the right questions. The background work begins now. How can we help? Petitions maybe? Today, l am a happy woman because of this article. Thanks The Zimbabwean. – @QueenNosipho
I think RGM warned pple of harare tht they shal suffer….so its nt a big surprise – @RueMuchie
Why is it that our government spends money destroying its own people who vote for them instead of helping and uplifting them? – @ChikavaZivai
1) City councils and local government ministry should stop construction at foundation level. Where were they all along and why did they wait till after election? 2) The displacement of farm workers also has a lot to do with the rural to urban migration. The big (formerly white owned) commercial farms employed and gave accommodation to 1,000-5,000 workers. When the employers (farmers) were evicted, a lot of their workers became destitute. Everything we do affects some seemingly unconnected area of the world. Unplanned farm takeover means closure of farm schools, farm clinics, eviction of workers, deforestation, food shortage, massive rural to urban migration, poor health (they had free clinics on farms) increased pressure on urban sewer systems and water supplies, unemployment, loitering, crime, suicide, divorce, a ballooning housing waiting list, increase in rentals, congestion in towns. Even if you own property, these demolitions will touch your life in one way or another. – Jerà Afrika
Why were some of the houses built on wetlands?it appears to be evil but to stop the corruption in land sales the distruction of illegal structures is just. – Huggla Caprice

Unfortunately our government does as it pleases. And lately we have seen that Zanu PF has no reasonable friend – that close friend who always takes you aside and says “dude, your zip is open” or snatches the car keys out of your hands and says, “girlfriend you’ve had too much to drink, take a taxi cab.”
Those that we thought had influence on the continent all watch in silence, in the name of not wanting to dictate to another sovereign state. Thankfully nothing lasts forever. My pen is capped. – Jerà Afrika

there’s room for sympathy in tragedy, never in stupidity. Who in what age builds on a random piece of land without absolute clarity. Chero ukapinda mu territory yemhuka dzokusota. So tho it is a sad situation with nothing to rejoiice over, illegaly settled people desrve whats coming to them. Welcome to civilisation. May God be with you in this phase Kevin Mkombo
