By Own Correspondent| President Emmerson Mnangagwa has commended civil society organisations (CSOs) that turned up at the CSOs/ Government Interface in Bulawayo today (Thursday).

He said that the interface presented opportunities for both government and CSOs to communicate openly.

Mnangagwa who ironically is on record threatening CSOs following the January 14 fuel protests accusing them of supporting the regime change agenda expressed optimism of further engagements adding that today’s deliberations were fruitful.

He said:

“Today, we engaged in important dialogue with faith organisations, NGOs and civil society groups from Matebeleland. No issue was left untouched as we listened to each other in the spirit of unity. Thank you to all those who took part and I look forward to further such meetings.”
