Obert Mpofu reveals more detail : Chamisa sends MDC negotiators to Zanu PF headquarters

Chamisa sends MDC negotiators to Zanu PF headquarters, Obert Mpofu reveals more details. Opposition MDC-Alliance has in the past refused to join the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) set up by President Mnangagwa.


However, over the past few days the party has reached out to Zanu-PF in an effort to get party leader Mr Nelson Chamisa talking to President Mnangagwa, who is also the First Secretary of the ruling party.Senior Reporter Joseph Madzimure (JM) caught up with Zanu-PF Secretary for Administration Dr Obert Mpofu (OM) on the party’s commitment to dialogue with MDC-Alliance and all other political actors.


There are reports of MDC-A negotiators who paid a visit to your office last week seeking to bring Zanu-PF and their party to engage each other.Can you give an insight into what is happening?.Yes, I can confirm that we received MDC-A officials at Zanu-PF headquarters last week.What was the subject of discussion?.They said they have been sent by their principal, MDC-A leader Mr Nelson Chamisa, to engage the ruling party Zanu-PF so that they can come to the negotiating table to address the challenges facing the country.Did they submit any written documents and, if any, what is your response to them?.No. They did not submit any written documents.


They have not produced anything written, but they have been producing membership cards, but that is not the way we should engage each other.This is a national dialogue initiative. There has never been any formal communication between them and us on what their demands or conditions are in their handling of this case.We need to be engaged officially by senior people from their executive members.We told them that if they are serious about engaging us, they should do so formally, but they should come through the Political Actors Dialogue (polad).

If they want dialogue they should indicate some seriousness and if they want to engage President Mnangagwa they can only do that under the auspices of polad.We have polad which was put forward by His Excellency President Mnangagwa, where he invited all political players in Zimbabwe, as well as other stakeholders to join him in dialogue and that included even the MDC-A.They were invited, but they seem to have other views on that initiative.MDC-A leader Mr Chamisa refused to join other political parties in the National Dialogue,


bringing a number of conditions and demands.Do you think he has had a change of heart?.The fact that they have been calling and coming, albeit at the lower levels, shows that something is happening from their side.We are always ready. My principal, President Mnangagwa, is ready to engage and there is polad for that.Of late, Mr Chamisa has insisted on one-on-one dialogue with President Mnangagwa without other political parties in polad.Would you be able to accept his demands?.

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

Grace, who during the greater part of husband's presidency had been focused on charity work, before later venturing into politics..With the support of Mugabe, Grace was in December 2014 parachuted to the helm of ZANU-PF Women's League, automatically qualifying to sit in the ruling party's highest decision-making body, the Politburo..The ex-First Lady then used her position and marriage to Mugabe to vilify all those she perceived to be harbouring ambitions of succeeding Zimbabwe's long-time ruler..She became literally untouchable with ministers currying favours with her to avoid being sacked by the President. The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
