Definitely a double-edged sword for us. What can we do?

Governments should regulate lobola by simply charging a tax on it. It's running wild right now because this is viewed as tax free income. Lobola must be stated on the tax returns and that is a simple fix to a big problem Zimbabwe is currently facing.

Zimbabwean Men should get assistance from the government to pay lobola because the government must facilitate good marriages and relationships. Stable marriages and relationships means less government resources spent on fixing broken families. win-win solution Just a thought

I am a youth that is eligible to vote for the first time but I won't be able to vote because the process was just a headache! Those long queues were ridiculous! And getting information where to register was not obvious. Why can't this be easy? Next elections youth will decide the winners and losers - mark my words.

Re: Why Women Hate Pokello

Boardhouse — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 09:12:13 -0000

GET A LIFE , Pokello is a loose whore , @ 27 she has a 10 year old child , that means she started sex at 17 less the 9 months so roughly at 16 she was having unprotected sex , which normal parent would want their daughter having sex when they should be in school. she is a single mum not by divorce or death but by loose morals

Re: Pokello Butt Naked on Big Brother The Chase

Angry reader — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 03:42:41 -0000

Everyone in Big Bro takes a bath naked in case you didnt know. People pay extra to see the shower hour. Whats wrong with being Naked? People act like they have never seen a naked women before, this is not a big deal. if you think your online newspaper will have viewers because of your article, you might want to think twice. You should be educating people on other things that are relevant to the society or finding sponsors to help children that need education assistance, than coming up with disgraceful articles like this. If you worry so much about her son, why then are you publishing articles that will come up through the google search engine? This has not ruined her son, believe it or not, her son does not have to be in school in Zimbabwe. Her family is very well educated and most of them are Americans, the likely hood of her son going to school in the USA is very high. Have an open mind, this is not the end of the world.

Re: Pokello Butt Naked on Big Brother The Chase

Simon — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:51:25 -0000

The writer clearly did not realise that other Big Brother housemates also have videos of them butt naked in the shower. It's part of the game!

I don't hate Pokello personally but I have an issue with her actions as someone in the public eye (a celebrity) and a parent. Actions parents take unfortunately CAN affect innocent children. HOW MANY OF YOU LADIES WOULD LET YOUR KIDS PLAY AND HANG OUT WITH KIDS FROM A SMALLHOUSE? Think about it! The writer is wrong in some cases but raises issues we may be missing in all this. When you become a parent, an African parent, you must remember that you now have the responsibility to uphold African values and nurture your children to grow up to be respectable ladies and gentleman, and more importantly protect your kids from such attacks as we are seeing against Pokello on afrocomplete and other sites.

I have seen worse

Re: Why Women Hate Pokello

Gracious — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 15:38:40 -0000

I really am impressed that one person can generate so much negative energy for some cute chick who is focused on her success and is busy minding her business. Evidently you are a hateful person - you make no secret about that, and you hate beauty and everything that Pokello and hardworking people like her have achieved - for the record, you NEVER become a millionaire by luck, whether you are a thief or porn star - you WORK EXTREMELY HARD!

No doubt, behind the veil of "we women" you are wallowing in oceans of hatred for Pokello at a very profoundly personal level. Guess what: you have all the right to feel as you wish, hate her all you want and indeed TO SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.

You, however, have no right to abuse Pokello or her son the way you shamelessly did, nor should you appoint yourself judge over her character based on the so called sex tape. You also sound desperately delusional as evidenced by your petty argument about the women you idolize. By the way, we have seen as much of each one of them as Pokello has exposed and they have even received awards for that. All of them have brandished something that might be considered explicit material on international TV and the big screen. You must be careful when you speak in public in this knowledge age - the readership today is extremely smart.

But what I found most unfortunate about your article is this nonsense about you SPEAKING FOR OTHER WOMEN! I have two extremely intelligent and smart daughters and would die first before I allow such a delusional hate monger like you claim to be their representative. Somebody said cut Pokello some slack: NO I think, YOU need to cut yourself some slack - that's too much venom to carry around. At the rate you resent other you are going to choke on your own hatred - just look in the mirror to see how ugly this negative vibe has made your face. I mean like, honestly.

Lastly, here is some wisdom from the late Dr Stephen R Covey: "We do not see the world as IT IS, we see the world as WE ARE! Thank you for giving us some insight into the sort of person you are.
