Leave him like that, we will deal with him here comprehensively and very soon
So you honestly think all these people are mad? Please get a life and start thinking like you are human! I wish I was in Zim to weigh in with my contribution!
Let us #StopPayingZimbabweTax so our so called government cannot pay the police and the army, and they lose their power. Stop paying PAYE and VAT. Only pay customs duty and traffic fines to the person, not the government. Let’s replace this terrible government with one that works for, not against the people.

If you are busy at work so? A thousand misguided elements at work does not mean the shut down was not a success. Majority counts, otherwise your ZANU party would not be ruling Zimbabwe with less than 1 million people voting for them.

Yah, you are right brother, they offer nothing meaningful these puppet websites, and to make matters worse they do not retract their falsehoods even events point out to something extremely different from what they will have reported

kikikiki, the problem with these websites is they also take people for granted by splashing idiotic headlines and a lot of lies. Now when you publish something no matter how true it is, people will take it as one of those lies. In other words you are promoting Mugabe by spreading idiotic falsehoods. Strive to tell the exact picture and not your wishful diabolic lies.
