MDC-A president Nelson Chamisa has threatened a new wave of
demonstrations to ostensibly pressure President Emmerson Mnangagwa into
dialogue, which he hopes will lead to a power sharing agreement.
Addressing supporters at the party’s 20th anniversary
celebrations at Rufaro Stadium yesterday, Mr Chamisa said his party had the
militant machinery to force the country to a standstill.
The new wave of demonstrations, he said, will be designed
to prevent police from stopping them.
“What we want to show them is that aiwa isu hativharirwi
ma-demonstrations. Tirikuda kuronga nyaya, asi strategy haitaurwi mu-stadium.
But we are coming up with a strategy in your local authorities, in your local
communities, where we will tell you about the way forward soon. . . What we are
saying is let us go for national dialogue to see how we can resolve the
situation in the country.”
Mr Chamisa continues to call for dialogue despite refusing
to join the Political Actors Dialogue (Polad). MDC youth league leader Obey
Sithole said the party’s youths will soon engage in demonstrations countrywide.
