TOP del.icio.us

The feedback on Munya’s “compensation for depression” continues to pour in. Here are some more comments from our subscribers:

  • Mugabe is a disgrace + proves he is Senile. The money cld feed starving children,  not given 2 a LOSER like Munya.
  • Kutambisa mari pane zvakawanda zvirikuda mari muzvipatara hazvisati zvaita.
  • It’s good to keep our banner raised.
  • Munya’s compensation 4 losing is very very unreasonable.
  • Does it mean to say that Munya will pocket the whole cash just like that?
  • Its more to do with his back ground.  The mother is in government and the father is a well established business man.  Im sure its a way of honouring the family.
  • On my opinion that was excelent
  • solidarity with munya not bad…may be extent yacho is the one to debate
  • HOW COULD WE EXPECT  MUNYA TO WIN I PERSONALLY FEEL IF EACH TEACHER WAS GIVEN USD IO THA THANK YOU FOR IGOT CHICKEN TO CHANGE VIDEO BYE C G MUTAWU
  • Zvakanaka bcoz BBA management was not fair on final results.
  • wicked and imorality at its climax may god bless the poor, the sick, the homeless and the hungry
  • He deserved mo coz dat waznt fair at all.at least BBA hz smthing 2 learn, & did u knw zimbabweans ar natural born ‘winners’ at global scale?
  • Its of no use splashing cash on individual yet the nation is suffering
  • They are wasting on compansating Munya, instead of donating to poor people, ophans and even civ cervants
  • He deserve the price.let the organisers know that we are suprised by giving our loser a token of appreciation that is more than e winner.
  • Where is that money coming from? Civil servants are not paid well.yu dont need to work to get money but to play with thozn power
  • Thats nonsensical the loss is not compensatory. furthermore u can not claim that he was duped wen countries did not vote for him. do zanu pf wants to hold another big brother africa!
  • It could be that he is connected to the good samaritens in some way.
  • Munya was not supposed to be given that money ..why .they are failures .how can they give Munya 300  000US$ while the country need money. We need money to pay civil servants.
  • As brothers there is nothing wrong. He should not compensate him because if he face problem his brother will help him as well.
  • That is the problem with an outdated regime, with very high misplaced priorities.If those people who raised the funds could raise fundraise for only one turbine for our KARIBA ELECTRICITY generation.To me it is stupid, myopic and cheap politicking.
  • its a game always there is a winner & loser .we cannot compensate him for a depresion but maybe for  representing us  well did not get lost in his humility
  • Munya was a pawn in Mugabe and ZANU PF publicity stunts. They can sink so low to grab any publicity stunt especially after being rebuffed by heroic Mabhena.
  • ZVAVO ZVEKUPENGA IZVO.KUTADZA KUSHANDISA MARI YACHO, KANA PAYER MABILLS EMAGETSI. KUNGODA KUCHIPISANA BEDZI ISUTINA KANAMARI YEKU PAYER COACH WENATINAL TEAM
  • Its a total shame! The US$300000 should have been donated to critical institutions such as the children homes.
  • If there is anything that I have been shocked by in my life is that of Munya. How can a loser be celebrated like that? I think Munya was supposed to be given a depression welcome.
  • He must be a relative of a minister or a zanu boy. How many times have they failed to pay our national squad after a win. Shame on them.
  • Big Brother sucks, Munya is a rock. Zim must boycott next year’s BBA coz it’s full of beans.
  • That’s wasting vanhu vachifa mumamisha nezvirwere pasina mishonga

    BBA is a Nigerian scam and someone has to speak up and and Zimbabwe just did that. Munya deserves the money. I know Nigerians will post rubbish here but we, the Zimbabwean people are happy our boy was given that money which will help him to go ahead with his project also. It is not the state money but money raised by businessman in Zimbabwe. Why crtying about poor if the money would never be raised if it was not for Munya. So, should BB also give that money to the poor in Africa instead he waste in that house and give to Nigerians scammers.

  2. Comment by Joan:

    Correct me if I’m wrong, that money didn’t come from government, but from business pple & individuals who have obtained the much needed publicity to further their businesses. the president just handed over the money. This was more of a marketing strategy, and good for the country, I think more investors are scratching their heads on how to start biz. in Zim.

  3. Comment by Bev Clark:

    True, Zimbabwe has gotten a lot of publicity over the business pple’s donation to Munya but I doubt whether its the sort of publicity that our country needs. I’ve just read that the Harare City Council has got two (2!!) ambulances to service the entire city of Harare. Perhaps the consortium of businessmen would have gotten much more positive publicity for donating a couple more ambulances, rather than giving money to a loser in a competition.

  4. Comment by joan:

    but Bev, do you think if Phillip donates 10 Ambulances it will be of any benefit to his business. It was just going to be published in Herald only. I am sure this was more for their personal benefit

  5. Comment by Bev Clark:

    To be honest I just don’t get it. If you enter a competition, you might lose right? You’re not guaranteed a win. Instead of accepting defeat gracefully some Zimbabweans are complaining about Nigerian foul play. So what if we lose the next cricket match, or soccer match or some other thing. Will we turn around and blame it on the ref, or whatever. I reckon lots of folk out there are looking at Zimbabwe with such derision thinking that we’re a bunch of whiners.

  6. Comment by Amanda Atwood:

    Enough of this Big Brother Africa compensation for depression nonsense.

    What about Phillip & Co. paying compensation for depression to the Zimbabweans who’ve lost:

    - Their jobs to our collapsed economy
    - Their homes to Murambatsvina
    - Their children to the “greener pastures” of the Diaspora
    - Their friends and loved ones to cholera, AIDS, malnutrition, and other preventable deaths
    - Their vote to election rigging
    - Their currency to economic mismanagement

    For starters

    A few more SMS’s from people about Munya . . .

    - It’s scandalous and a disgress for such a huge amount to be splashed on one individual.
    - What is so special about this Munyaradzi for him to get this this award yet we have the poor and the the disabled
    - Useless and cheap politics while civil servants get peanuts.
    - That money could have been given to under priveledged pple.
    - Personally i think its a huge farce certain individuals are making. Why do zimbos always have to be sore losers? The money being wasted could be used on better things and if i could personally tell Phillip Chiyangwa, i would!
    - Armtryptilline and counselling help depressed people not $300’000. A lot of orphan could have benefited from that wasted cash. TOUGH!
    - munya did not going to get that amuont of 300 000
    - i think its wise to donate the money towards the poor, old age, orphans and Hiv infected pple or those affected by political violence
    - Complete wastage. Why not give to health, education or rehabilitate sewer and water system. Rain is coming CHORELA!
    - Crooks will remain crooks unless the Almighty intervenes !
    - Dai vakapa kune vanoshaya
    - i think its not fair
    Big Brother sucks. Munya beware. Uti wants to be a Zimbabwean. Kurwadziwa here kuti diamond boy is getting more? Well done boy. Zim must boycott next year’s BBA.
    ” Compensaion for depression” it’s always for pschological comfort but is it neccessary. Many thanx for the update.
