@Mazitundeeednut @VeronMosengo So Morocco won the moment Senegal left the pitch? Referee should have ended the game right there.But he allowed it to go on and awarded Senegal victory. That's where rules were rendered useless. Senegal won fair and square. You can't apply and misapply the rules. That's shifty.

@VladBarbalich Of course not, To what benefit

[Ben Paradza @BenParadza]

@VladBarbalich Is there a problem

Personally, I believe achild from a poor background who has managed to get 5Bs and 3Cs at O level or a child from a poor background who had managed to get more than 5 subjects at O levels even if it is Cs.

That child qualifications and performances are just as good as a child with straight As who comes from lower middle class, upper middle class and for that matter who comes from working class background.

Why? because

A child from the underclassed background is socially, economically, and culturally disadvantaged by the system.

He's going to school, structurally and systematically disprivileged by the system. He doesn't have the material and financial resources to attend well equipped schools, doesn't have access to good teachers, doesn't have access to textbooks and good reading materials and doesn't have money to pay for extra lessons and remedial lessons.

Therefore, that category of the students or children, whom Prof Derrick Bell classified as the "Faces at the bottom of the well " or whom Ralph Ellison classified as the "Invisible Man" or whom Prof @marclamonthill classified as "Nobody ",equally deserves help and sponsorship as category As students.

Hence, some of us argue that:

There's nothing more unequal as equal treatment of unequal people

@Julius_S_Malema @Our_DA There is a lot of politics at play in judiciaries of this world including the super powers. Remember Trumps quest to appoint judges who today are perceived as Trump appointed judges. What do you expect? It comes with certain expectations. Very few judges are apolitical

@LauderGrove63 @TateMavetera @Mufaro_1 Maybe I misunderstood a lot of people who contributed to this discussion. Let's leave it and not argue about this any further.

[Ben Paradza @BenParadza]

@LauderGrove63 @TateMavetera @Mufaro_1 I have no problem with that. Focus on her educational qualifications to say she is unfit for her role limits your basis for attacking her. If you know anything else we don't, then say it. We lose focus on other grounds.

[Ben Paradza @BenParadza]

@LauderGrove63 @TateMavetera @Mufaro_1 In the interest of fairness, a Cabinet Minister needs not hold any qualifications relevent to the Ministry she leads. It's a political appointment.The General is Minister of Health, Welshman was with Commerce and Industry. Biti was Finance despite being a lawyer etc. Be fair pse

@NgSlayk @daddyhope We are surviving down here. I think you are correct. I was only having my doubts

[Ben Paradza @BenParadza]

@BhudaOcean @daddyhope Not in the rest of the world. Zimbos proudly present themselves as Zimbos whether black or white unless they are illegals. It's only in South Africa where they hide from Xenophobic attacks and exclusions

@bla_bidza @RChisara @ProfJNMoyo I find the question quite valid BlaB. To the ordinary person, the context was one of an unstable currency and gold was supposed to stabilise it, which is not happening. Saka question is makauya makazvibatanidza sei Baba?

@RealTradingTalk @Menetekel2323 @waltermzembi Iwe Mene, wava kundinyangadza. Leave me alone. Handina picture ya Jesus or idols anywhere in my life. Iwe unotopenga no kunamata midzimu yevamve. Waidai uchinyaravo nazvo.

[Ben Paradza @BenParadza]

@Menetekel2323 @waltermzembi You are captured by other people. Ini I am an African pure and simple. No regrets whatsoever.

[Ben Paradza @BenParadza]

@Menetekel2323 @waltermzembi I worship God the African way. Don't make me do it your way. My ancestors have done it for millions of years. Who are you to say it was wrong? Go away and worship your god and I will worship mine. Who knows we might be worshipping the same God after all.

@Chimwaura Those were powerful words. Respect
