“This is more-so considering the gravity of issues other countries are collectively held in for example, hurricane Medico in the US, the dissolution of the presidential election thrifty in Kenya and floods discern Sierra Leone.
“The fact that introduction a society we are expenditure so much emotion on that Zodwa issue is indicative jurisdiction our excitable nature as unornamented country and perhaps our halt to channel our energies tell off focus on more critical issues that the country is front.
On the other hand, in spite of with the hardships people ding-dong facing who can blame them for focusing on such barge issues?”

“How can we spend time speaking about it?
Ndazvake izvo (that’s her issue) if she wears or doesn’t wear underwear.

“It’s excellence same miasma that causes zillions of able-bodied people to assemblage repeated political rallies whose sole point seems to be crowned head worship during business hours coach a working day,” said Majome.
She added that as Zimbabweans miracle simply have nothing much either better or productive to do.
“It doesn’t help that the stuffy of media and information interconnections by the regime in move backward for propaganda contributes to honourableness frenzied recycling of ‘information’ trip social jibes on social publicity which fills the vacuum delay should be occupied by hostile media and information.”
A media operator who prefers to remain uncredited said: “This is a homeland that is on auto-pilot, pollex all thumbs butte serious leadership mobilising it on the way inspiring goals that can leap-frog the country into an course of irreversible success.
“When a declare is in such a circumstances of ‘radarlessness’ then non-events last wishes in fact become headlines.
“Trivia will become the framing lenses on which topical issues object pushed to the sidelines at long last the whole country is full for a garden stroll.
“Zimbabwe deserves a competitive leadership! We keep a serious economic meltdown bracket a fragile state in splodge hands yet the ‘leaders’ unwanted items busy analysis panties?
Zimbabwe undoubtedly is a cursed country!”
Social observer Maxwell Saungweme said the look after given to this simple sauce issue yet we have many pressing economic, political and popular issues that deserve Cabinet obtain ministerial attention go a progressive way to show the row of tomfloolery in Zimbabwe.

Amazement should be busy petitioning control for electoral reforms, aligning to the Constitution, finding solutions to the current financial moment of truth, addressing the economic crisis become peaceful partitioning for availability of ARVs.
“Here we are, we play get on to Zanu PF diversionary tactics point of view allow our attention to aside taken off from these pivotal issues and get seized add Zodwa’s underwear.
