MDC-ALLIANCE leader Nelson Chamisa has said he intends to
meet former president Robert Mugabe and hopes to get guidance from him on
governance issues.
Mr Chamisa said he wants Mr Mugabe to give him “wisdom” and
guidelines on how to rule, confirming the pact the opposition leader has with
the former long-ruling leader who has done little to mask his choice for the
opposition.
There have been reports that Mr Mugabe is bankrolling Mr
Chamisa and backing him to win in the party’s forthcoming congress.
He said this while addressing party supporters on Saturday
during a rally held at Chisamba Grounds in Sakubva, Mutare.
“I am humbled that Mr Mugabe went publicly to vote for me
and to say that he will vote for me. It is an endorsement to say the history is
saying we are passing on the baton to the future and I receive that baton,” he
said.
“It is my wish to visit him and say ‘you played your part
and you disagreed in many ways with Tsvangirai’ and if he had wronged us, we
will forgive him. We need to hear from him, how he sees this, because he knows
where he made mistakes. But I have to hear from him how he made those mistakes.
That is the direction we are moving and that is the focus we are following.”
Mr Chamisa also threatened to unleash more disturbances in
the country if the ruling party does not bow to his demands.
He said there was still a dispute stemming from the 2018
harmonised elections. This is despite the Constitutional Court ruling that
President Mnangagwa won the elections. Herald
