Platform for players

* 16-02-2020 Dialogue rantings attributed to ZANU PF Secretary for Administration, Obert Mpofu in one of the local tabloids clearly exposes ZANU PF's ego-centric and bullish attitude towards the very same political opponents they intend to dialogue with. Mpofu's bullish Polad ultimatum to the MDC Alliance only helps to raise alarm on what to expect from any dialogue with ZANU PF. Platform and players remain key ingredients to any meaningful dialogue. To his credit, President Nelson Chamisa has always reiterated that POLAD is a poisoned chalice hence it can never be an ideal platform for any meaningful dialogue. That all players currently involved in POLAD agrees to everything Emmerson Mnangagwa and ZANU PF further pulverizes the platform thereby rendering it a monologue. If the calls for dialogue are genuine, then it is only logical that those who disagree dialogue and clearly there is no need for various versions of ZANU PF at the same table. Why wasting time dialoguing with various but same versions of ZANU PF when the same results can be achieved by dialoguing with one led by Mnangagwa himself. Alternatively, why would Mnangagwa's ZANU PF want to dialogue with some black market opposition when it is clear even from the 2018 ZEC cooked results that it is Advocate Nelson Chamisa's MDC Alliance that warrants any form of dialogue if the country is to move forward. ZANU PF's insistence on a platform, POLAD which they created raises alarm on the dangers that lies ahead if ever MDC Alliance joins such dead end platform. Joining POLAD is akin to having a wrestling contest with a crocodile in water, its familiar surroundings. Who in their right senses can accede to such a political suicide? It is also important to track the background that led to the current situation which has led many a people to call for dialogue. It is a public secret that our problems emanate from a 2018 disputed political contest that gave birth to the legitimacy question. At the centre of that contestation is Emmerson Mnangagwa who subverted the will of the people by having an adulterous affair with the military through the gun on 01 August 2018. On the other hand is a People's President, Advocate Nelson Chamisa who has a social contract with the people to lead. The components determine the solution we obtain! We can not expect any meaningful results from a 'dialogue' between Mnangagwa and his puppets. Anything else without Nelson Chamisa is like expecting flies in their various forms to produce honey. #OneMillionCampaign #YouthVoices4Change *Stephen Sarkozy Chuma* _MDC Alliance Youth Assembly  Spokesperson_
