Farai Dziva| In typical military, Constantino Chiwenga has declared that all political parties must participate in the coming national dialogue.

Chiwenga said this yesterday to scores of villagers at Masasa Primary School in Chikomba at the handover of food aid to affected communities in Mashonaland East.

See below part of a report published by a state run paper:

Vice President Chiwenga said the President and Head of State, Cde Mnangagwa will this week lead a delegation of all political parties participating in the ongoing national dialogue to Chimanimani to assess the damage caused by Cyclone Idai.

He said President Mnangagwa will tour all the four provinces — Manicaland, Mashonaland East, Masvingo and parts of the Midlands — that were affected.

“Next week, all the parties that are participating in the national dialogue agreed to accompany the President and visit Chimanimani in order to assess and try to assist with solutions to the tragedy that devastated that area.

“Those who refuse to participate in the dialogue will show that they do not care about the people of Zimbabwe.”

“This is why you should ask them when they come here looking for votes where they were when disaster was on your door,” he said.
