Ngwena apo magona , nyanya ngadzibatwe, vamwe vacho isayi mujeri (vana moyo avo)
Thank you Mr President, Rome was not built in as day you will soon be in full control of things once you break the ice. Well done and stick to your promise and everything will fall in place.
Thank you. This is not a Moslem nation, not that we hate Moslems…
Thank u Mr President we salute u on Dokora’s expulsion. How we wish all who are guilt will be brought to book so u can purge the country of undesirable elements.
Dokora no no no. The God of our nation Zim has refused to accept you. No one liked you Dokora
Dokora go with your stupid tasks and never come back. School was now hell for our children. An overload of junk there wasnt time anymore for meaningful learning or study for the learners it was now pathetic and a sorry sight at school. Lets revert to the old way and then map the way forward together with consultation and dialogue. No one is going to resist positive change for the betterment of our education. Not this Dokora rubbish.
But why was Dokora chosen in the first place?. What going to happen to his new curriculum and his national pledge?
Apa magona Garwe. Dokora ngaende
well done Garwe Dokora out
Let us give the President a chance. ..we gave someone 37 years. .but we now give his successor a few hours. .let us rally behind him and his cabinet that is so good without Lazarus
Dokora i thank you for accepting your failures. you were surely a rubbish to us. I thank you Cde Emmerson Dambudziko Mnangagwa OUR President. Dokora ngaagare aenda. he MUST be sued for taking our education sector for granted. we all thank you President ED
Yes that’s wonderful decision you made our President, Cde ED Mnangagwa, a vote of thanks and we really give you the maximum support.Education should be basic and affordable. Overloading our grandfathers and grandmothers who are supporting orphans down there in the periphery levels of our communities was quite hectic and unreasonable. Keep up the momentum and on the issue of prohibiting externalisation and giving some deadlines, we support you 100%.You have the people`s vision whereby you want to ensure equitable distribution of income and wealth. Keep it up. Unfortunately some of these decisions have to be painful for the betterment of our economy. Our President, May God bless you.Tisu maordinary Zimbabweans acho who are in full support of you

***Hon.VaMavima ibvai mabisa zvakachinjwa na Dokora***
***80 ma school aari kuda kuvaka echimoslem hatimadi, kunotopemha Mari kuti ufunge kuti unopinza chimoslem muno, Hatitengese KUTENDA kwedu***
wange wave kuita Zimbabwe yake, ochinja education yedu over a night in the name of speading chi Moslem muno.
We are a Christian nation, and very peaceful, and it’s not so with islamic they butcher each other with suicidal bombs all around the world even in Middle East. They have a message of hate pasi naye nechimoslem.
Vose avo regai vafure asi kana vanzwa nyota vanoona garwe rakarinda,
munomirira dzose padzouya kuzonwa mvura mobata ipapo.
Maita Mwana wevhu, Pres. E.D.M
Thanks ED. Well done on the education move
matigonera shumba rambai makadaro
thank you Your Excellence for sacking this fellow. surely the new minister must reconsider his predecessor’s introduction of so many subjects at ECD level (7 subjects), a sane person should know that for a child that young to learn and understand so many subjects is impossible. l doubt if Dokora has any children because if he had he would know that a small child cannot be able to assimilate so much much. Dokora is contagious and must must not be given any portfolio in government again.
