Tsvangirai & Mujuru in secret coalition talks

MDC-T leader, Morgan Tsvangirai and Zimbabwe People First leader, Joice Mujuru are said to be in secret talks to come up with a coalition ahead of the 2018 elections.

Insiders from both camps yesterday confirmed to NewsDay that the two opposition leaders were edging towards a deal with ZimPF spokesperson, Jealousy Mawarire, acknowledging his party was involved in coalition talks with the MDC-T, but declined to disclose more details for fear of jeopardising negotiations while MDC-T vice-president, Nelson Chamisa said the party’s leadership would be meeting its structures soon to appraise them on the coalition discussions.

Tsvangirai last week scoffed at the talks held in Cape Town, South Africa, saying he preferred home-grown solutions without influence from outsiders. The talks in Cape Town were attended by leaders of MDC, Renewal Democrats of Zimbabwe, People’s Democratic Party, Zapu, Mavambo/Kusile/Dawn, Zanu Ndonga and Zunde, among others.
