"Government alone cannot succeed. It is through efforts such as these that many dreams can be realised. I cannot express my happiness at the success of such a tournament because it does not only bring people together but it also helps expose the talent that we have."

"...that gender equality is not just a phenomenon, but a reality that we all have to embrace if we are to achieve international, continental, regional and national sustainable development."

"The line of credit will assist Zimbabwe as it has no access to international lenders like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. It is vital that industries are resuscitated to create employment."

"We will continue to assist Zimbabwe – but it does not mean we can solve its problems. If we don’t help our neighbour what will happen when our country is on fire?"

"Zimbabweans should learn from my country when it comes to elections. During election time there is peace and everything goes on in the normal way, without violence. I believe that as soon as Zimbabwe has elections, things will be back to normal"

"It is acceptable that people belong to various political parties. What is important is building the nation. Fighting one another through party politics will not build the country. Whether one is Zanu (PF) or MDC, the fact is that you are all Zimbabweans at the end of the day"

"No amount of outside intervention can solve Zimbabwe’s internal problems. The people should unite and work together to revive the economy. We are all waiting for the country to be the breadbasket of the continent again."
