OPPOSITION leader, Nelson Chamisa has refuted calls for the formation of a Government of National Unity (GNU) insisting on the need for dialogue around legacy outstanding issues.
He was speaking in an interview with a local online private mouthpiece recently after being quizzed on whether he would compromise if President Emmerson Mnangagwa was going to extend an olive branch and pave the way for working together with citizens at the centre of the priorities, the opposition leader said sticking issues have to be resolved first.
“A conversation, yes. Compromise perhaps not because the issue is to first identify the problem and the solution. We will then need to engage the people of Zimbabwe in their totality.
“Right now we are a divided people. We are a divided country. We are a divided government because the people are ultimately the government, but the government is divided because people do not agree on how the government must function or be constituted.
“The 2023 dispute is a case in point and that is the starting point of our conversation and resolution in this country. An ostrich mentality of burying its head in the sand thinking it will save the back when the marauding fire spreads around is not of any help,” Chamisa added.
