Jane Mlambo| Nelson Chamisa, leader of the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) has rejected claims by President Emmerson Mnangagwa that his party attempted “regime change” with foreign backing by organising mass protests in January.

Chamisa said he is willing to take part in “a credible and genuine dialogue” with Mnangagwa.

Speaking to FRANCE 24’s Marc Perelman from the Zimbabwean capital Harare, Chamisa said the recent protests were ignited by fuel price hikes and led by trade unions, not by his party.

“We are not working with any foreign power,” he added.
