The opposition MDC leader who was billed to address a press conference to update the nation on his party position and the political situation in the country has cancelled his planned media briefing under unclear circumstances.

The briefing had been set for 1130am today at the party’s Morgan Tsvangirai house.

Chamisa was expected to tackle the issue of the planned dialogue meeting announced by President Emmerson Mnangagwa when he arrived back home from his four-nation visit in Eastern Europe.

Yesterday, Chamisa called for the release of activists and party members detained in connection with last week’s national shutdown as a condition for resumption of dialogue.
