Schools closing for Mugabe birthday party, Who is to blame for low pass rate in Matabeleland schools?

I prefer anonymity. This decision is totally insane. How can they cause such a confusion to us parents and our kids? This is concrete evidence of selfishness. It means our children 's education is of no importance

Dear Editor


My grand daughter did not go to school today because of this malice aforethought. My heart is red.

What's the point of closing schools,just because its Mr President's birthday learners have to pause learning for two days and they are not benefiting anything on that bash

government is to blame for the closure of schools - Unkown

government is to blame for the closure of schools

Here is a very selfish and self-centred individual holding the nation to ransom. This man does not care about the people. All he cares about is himself and his praise-singers in his kleptocrasy. Why should children stop going to school just because he has turned 93? What benefit does that give to anyone in Zimbabwe? Right now people are starving but he happily blows away millions of state meagre resources on self aggrandisement. Don't we have better people to lead us? Zimbabwe has many youthful politicians able to lead us better than has been the case for the past 37 years. This man is just bad news.

I discourage this issue of closing schools just for the president's birthday, this issue will probably disturb our children's education, more time is being wasted for nothing😞
