What do the people say?

Do you think government should tax the informal sector? Will it cost more to collect than it will earn?

In principle, part of the informal sector is already subject to presumptive tax. The informal sector should really be taxed. Our new constitution says the burden of tax should be shared equitably. The informal sector represents about 60 percent of the economy, with final census stats from ZimStat saying that more the 3 million people are in the informal sector. There should be concrete mechanisms to tax this sector so as to abet revenue inflows. Coupled with the new residence based tax law, it should see next year’s inflows rebounding. The cost of course would be felt a bit, but would be overwhelmed by the return. – Clémence Machadu

I wonder if this is a genuine – The Zimbabwean? I know there are Mr Mugabe’s spies on this Facebook page . They have stopped the distribution of The Zimbabwean to my door step because of what I have written about the prisons torture. I won’t keep quiet. It should be a free world with freedom of speech. It shows outright that Zanu (PF) didn’t win the elections recently, why so insecure hunting people everywhere who dare oppose them? Intimidation and torture is Zanu (PF)’s legacy. Instead of working towards progress for the country, they spend time planning strategies of how to torture people. I know the people who pretended here on this Facebook page to be so friendly to me are the dirty hands of the regime . – Marjorie Kashiri

Since Prison Service steals food every day which was destined for prisoners. How can you train people who are starving?…. PR Officers are paid to lie. – Alex Weir

A Zim prison sentence is like a hell sentence. Where will they get the money to provide those vocational luxuries when they can’t even provide the basics such as food, warm blankets, soap. You see inmates wearing torn uniforms, looking hungry all the time etc – not quite a conducive environment for learning. I guess that’s why they always utilise every single opportunity they get to attemp to escape, regardless of the risks of getting caught. They will be just trying to escape from HELL. – Clémence Machadu

What do you think government should do to tackle gender-based violence?

As long as the top leadership endorses & normalizes it in their public statements, gender based violence will remain a problem. – @dubbydacious

It must now implement its National Gender Based Violence Strategy launched 2012 – has 4 key result areas. Action now! – @JessieFMajome

What is your favourite image of Mandela?

He realised that love of materials is useless. Mandela let everything be bygone becoz he knows even if you fight u wil not get anything. He knows that God wil do everything for him. USA is great becoz of rectifying all deferrences today. Our leaders are living the life of yesterday instead of today. You cant live past today. Live modern not stone age. – Godfrey Ngaite Malinga

Mandela ordering his motorcade to stop by freeway roadside for him to help a lady whose car had broken down: a kin to an angel’s help. – @Everisto_Kamera

Do you think Zimbabwe should legalise abortion?

We absolutely should! If legal means are not available then back ally abortions become the only alternative #abortion #Zimbabwe. – @Taffgidi

Yes it should be legalised. – @MissGovathson

No and my answer is not based on religious beliefs. – @einogn

An umbrella criminization of abortion is unfair. There are certain cases where it should be permissible, such as when a woman is raped and opts to do the procedure or when a minor becomes pregnant, amongst other reasonable circumstances. The argument is akin to that of lifting sanctions on ZMDC. The presence of sanctions was actually fuelling corruption and opaqueness. Similarly, the criminization of abortion promotes women to practise unsafe contingencies, thereby compromising their health or even dying. When looked from that perspective, one would argue that it shud be legalized for special circumstances. – Clémence Machadu

Yes they should women be able to choose. – Mai Tawona

We don’t want like that in our culture. – Raymond Ngomanyuni

God forbid that. It was wise for Joyce to raise her child that she aborted because the husband left her anyway. Remember she lost a child, now her healthy is on the line & she can’t take care of her kids. – Benson Brown
