President Mnangagwa has hailed political parties that have
joined the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) for bringing sound Governance
ideas, saying those who shun dialogue should wait for the next election in
2023.
He said unity of purpose among Zimbabweans and political
parties was central to the development of the country.
Addressing an anti-sanctions rally at Tshovani Stadium in
Chiredzi on Saturday, President Mnangagwa said Zanu-PF had the power to amend
the Constitution using its two thirds majority in Parliament, but was ready to
listen to ideas from other political players.
“We said all parties should come on the table for
dialogue,” said President Mnangagwa.
“Takati vose huyai. There are some who did not come on the
table for the dialogue. Most parties have come on board and we discuss with
them on how we can move forward.
“Elections are held once in every five years. After five
years, we go back to our political parties and seek a new mandate from the
people. What we want is unity and peace in this country. We want
harmony in this country.”
President Mnangagwa hailed Masvingo province for voting
resoundingly for the ruling party in the July 2018 harmonised elections.
He said the revolutionary party should not be bothered by a
few opposition elements in the province.
Said President Mnangagwa: “We held our election last year
and we won resoundingly with more than two thirds majority in Parliament.
“We got over 164 seats I think and the opposition parties
shared the few remaining seats out of the 210 seats that we have in
Parliament.”
On illegal sanctions imposed by Western countries,
President Mnangagwa said the country should use its natural and human resources
to improve the economy.
He said Government will continue to call for the
unconditional lifting of the embargoes, but at the same time working out
strategies to mend the economy. Turning to agriculture, the President said
distribution of this year’s Presidential inputs had started.
“This time we have increased the variety of inputs that we
give to the people. “We have what we call traditional grains such as millet,
rapoko and sorghum that we are giving to our people for free,” said President
Mnangagwa.
“Fertiliser, cotton and chemicals we are also giving for
free. After being given these inputs you should not divert them.” Herald

It was NEVER meant for the national interest, but to give Mnangagwa an alibi when explaining his refusal to implementing Political Reforms! These puppets are CROOKS pic.twitter.com/3tKYQz59OG
