MDC-T leader Nelson Chamisa has apologised over his rally comment on giving his 18 year old sister to President Emmerson Mnangagwa should he manage to win a free and fair election.

Chamisa told the South Africa based News24.com, “if anyone felt hurt about the joke I am sorry. It was just a political banter that I used to illustrate that even if I promised to give him (Mnangagwa) my most prized position, he would still not be able to defeat us in a free and fair election.

“The joke should have been a non-issue because most Zimbabweans are worried about issues of survival. This is just a sideshow that is being used by irrelevant people to score cheap political points at my expense.”
