Farai Dziva|Emmerson Mnangagwa has urged opposition leader Nelson Chamisa to join the POLAD discussion forum.

In a statement on Friday Mnangagwa said dialogue should be used as an instrument for durable peace.

“In working for durable peace, I pledge to keep the hand of dialogue and goodwill outstretched to all Zimbabweans, including those I raced against in the July polls.”

“Never again should electoral contest be allowed to degenerate into open conflict that mars our peace.

The national dialogue, through which the majority of the national political leadership has sought to find one another, and to work together on national issues, is now underway.

I continue to urge the few parties which have shunned the national dialogue to please reconsider by joining in the consolidation of national peace, and in working in harmony for economic recovery and growth.”
