Tinoonga Mawere| A government spokesperson has claimed comments on the need for a national dialogue that have been attributed to President Emmerson Mnangagwa are fictitious.
Presidential Spokesperson George Charamba has has denied Mnangagwa made such remarks on twitter.
“Just when we were in there, the
President was drawing my attention to
an attempt to as it were, to put words
into his mouth using his Twitter
account. So, don’t always believe that
which is coming through,” said Charamba.
Charamba also blamed the MDC for the violence that
broke out across the country last week.
“When it comes to national dialogue,
that’s a necessary accompaniment of
any democratic system. But if it’s a
dialogue that is predicated on violence,
on coercion, that will not fly.
The key thing for all parties including
those in opposition to know is that
there’s a way of engaging government
without necessarily having to bring in
people to destroy
property and cause loss of life in the
country. After all, we have a
Parliament, there is interaction going
on. We have many other avenues,
where interaction is going on,” added Charamba.
