Former Zimbabwe Opposition Chief Seeks Dialogue

This week, Zimbabwe’s main opposition leader Nelson Chamisa announced he was making “frantic efforts” for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to arrange a meeting between him and President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Chamisa said the purpose would be for the two leaders to find common ground to help fix Zimbabwe’s long-suffering economy. Chamisa resigned abruptly in January as leader of Zimbabwe’s main opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) which he founded. Tendai Ruben Mbofana, a Zimbabwe social justice advocate and writer, tells VOA’s James Butty, Chamisa’s desire is bizarre because he does not even belong to a political party.
