South Africa pilled pressure on President Emmerson
Mnangagwa yesterday by pushing for all inclusive talks involving MDC Alliance
leader Nelson Chamisa saying Pretoria is ready to provide a facilitator for the
National Dialogue.
South African Ambassador to Zimbabwe Mphakama Mbete who
said the SADC region is ready to provide a facilitator for the National
Dialogue told the gathering that, "If necessary for credibility, the
leadership of Zimbabwe wishes to consider a facilitator from outside Zimbabwe,
we as a region will be ready to propose names from the African Continent."
Mbete was speaking at the National Dialogue launch on
Friday. Chamisa has since welcomed the proposal.
Said Chamsia, "We welcome the wise words by the South
African Ambassador Mphakama Mbete. He said: the national dialogue must be
inclusive and participatory take into account the views of all Zimbabweans.
"We restate that dialogue can't be credible when it
ignores the views of 2,6m voters
Chamisa added that Zimbabwe's crisis was political and not
legal. "Zimbabwe's crisis is political. We haven't had genuine and true
political settlement since the days of Lancaster, Unity accord and GPA GNU.
Deceptive, manipulative politics upon fake dialogue is the source of all our
national discohesion. This breeds false, disputed & rigged processes,"
he said. Newsday
