Chamisa says Tsvangirai supported Mugabe’s ouster on the understanding that there would be a transitional authority but he was betrayed #TsvangiraiMemorial

Chamisa says the solution is dialogue between himself and Mnangagwa. “If he refuses dialogue I will drag him to dialogue, kicking and screaming” #TsvangiraiMemorial

On the issue of 3 VPs, Chamisa says this is an idea that Tsvangirai brought from ZCTU, the ‘mother’ of MDC.
“ZCTU has four VP; we‘re taking after our mother.”

But he says when it comes into power the MDC won’t mantain three VPs in govt. #TsvangiraiMemorial
