@ali_naka@LynneStactia@zenzele This is not about the recipient. It’s about the precedent. Gifts by the gvt to journalist risk creating perceived obligations and can weaken public confidence in their independence. Public trust is hard to earn and easy to lose.
@LynneStactia Don’t be a hypocrite!! Whether it’s the “people’s favourite” or “someone with a mandate” that will not stop people from examining issues. The issue is not about whether he deserves it but whether he will remain independent in his work.
@TanakaTakawira_ It’s not the bank it’s the taxes :
IMTT of 2% : $44
Digital Service Tax of 15.5% : $341 (Assuming your transaction attracts the charge)
Bank Charges usually 2% or 2.5% check with your bank that’s $44.
Total charges: $429.
Hello @LinkedInHelp@LinkedIn
My account has been restricted for an unknown reason. I have sent you detailed information and case number regarding the issue. I have submitted all the information you requested. May you please assist.
@Thickslender@EcoCashZW The problem is not that EcoCash is that hungry for charges. They are just implementers of the directive from Mthuli. The 3.3% /3% charge is 2% IMTT and 1.3% bank charge.
A direct cash in is a taxable and bank chargeable transaction.
@missile_zw@WillarShoko@EcoCashZW The issue is not EcoCash it’s the taxes.
IMTT : 23.21*2% =0.464
Digital Tax : 23.21*15.5% =3.598
Then their transaction fee.
Almost $4 in taxes for a $23 transaction.
@lilomatic iii)The election of the President through parliament goes against the liberation struggle principle of “one man one vote”.
iv)The people who are debating the constitution in parliament have conflict of interest as they stand to benefit from the amendment.
@lilomatic That is democracy! You are entitled to your opinion. People should engage each other respectfully on these spaces. A constitution can be amended as set out in Sec 327.
@lilomatic what people are against in this amendment are the following:
@lilomatic i) The amendment should be lawful clauses to term limits should go to referendum.
ii)The amendment should not directly benefit the sitting president as set out in Sec 328(7) which Zpf wants.
You cooked up more than a meal @terrymap1. You brought flavour, joy and community. Is village 6 ready for round two?
