ZIMBABWE is crying for reforms, including the alignment of laws to the Constitution. Our parlimentarians collectively failed us on this front.
I don’t know whether it was deliberate, ignorance or total incompetence on the part of our parliamentarians because from the government of national unity (2009-13) to date, we had a reasonably balanced proportion of parliamentarians from different political parties in Parliament, but it’s clear they never came up with meaningful progress on these policy issues.
Surely, if our parliamentarians could at one point agree on impeachment of the former President Robert Mugabe, why would they fail to agree on their number one mandate?
The lack of reforms has caused stagnation in the country.
The implementation of political and economic reforms is for a more stable and promising future for the Zimbabwean people.
Nothing has been done on the ground. Where were the parliamentarians all these years?
You can’t compare the current crop of Members of Parliament with the ones we had in 1995 going back to 1980. Reforms lead to betterment of the nation. No reforms no progress.-Costain Rambai

THE Constitution of the land mandates the President to set the date for harmonised elections. I hope after the harmonised elections, all candidates and their supporters will be back to their normal senses.
As a registered voter, my message to all candidates is that, I prefer an offer of action because during the past two elections, I have been taking promises to no avail.
Proverbs 19:2 says: “Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever make hast with his feet, misses his way.”
Our leaders should not be surrounded by people who look forward to getting something for voting them into power. As Zimbabweans, we must vote for leadership that seeks to transform our lives for the better.
Unfortunately, running public office is not like a debate session where one can fool people through eloquence.
Some have been charmed by some candidates’ sense of dressing, but then this is not a fashion show.
Some have been charmed by good looks, but then this is not a beauty contest. Experience is the best teacher.
At some point, other candidates promised heaven, but delivered hell.-Citizen
Chamisa making us dream again
THE problem with Zimbabweans is that the Zanu PF spell has gotten hold of us.
We have been kept in poverty to the extent of failing to believe that we can be better.
You go to a person, say in Mbare, and tell him “I can make you stay in Borrowdale”, he tells you, “you are mad”. That’s what we are seeing here.
Citizens Coalition for Change leader Nelson Chamisa is pleading with people to open their eyes to see how rich this country is, but they label him a liar.
Please let’s open our eyes and stop those in power from further enriching themselves at our expense. The cake should be shared equally.
Let’s vote them out this year.-Tadiwa Shanya
Authorities must deal with the currency crisis
MONEY changers have existed as long as the history of mankind. They just need to be controlled.
Jesus had to chase them out of the temple at some point. However, completely removing them is mission impossible.
They are not the problem here.
Money changers are a symptom of a system that has malfunctioned.
If the monetary system is right, most of them will leave the streets on their own.
Simple economics says where two currencies co-exist in an economy, bad currency will chase good currency. -Phillip
