Dear Editor-The situation in Zimbabwe is not pleasing at all.

However, the planned demonstrations of 16 August 2019, are not going to make the economic situation better in Zimbabwe but rather perhaps worsen it.

I think progressive and peace loving Zimbabweans should come together and provide solutions to our economic challenges. Let’s be careful of reducing Zimbabwe to another Iraqi, Syria or Libya – all in the name of Western sponsored ‘democracy’ rhetoric.

I think Zimbabwe needs more solution providers than demonstrators.

Sincere honesty and peaceful dialogues by all stakeholders are the starting point. Politicians alone will never solve our economic difficulties.

Zimbabwe needs a National Think Tank – made up of the best brains the country has to offer and cutting across racial and political divide. That is my honest view-Richard Chinomona

May the Almighty Jehovah bless the nation of Zimbabwe with wisdom and Solutions to overcome the economic challenges facing our beloved country!
