Jane Mlambo| Former Higher education minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo has revealed intricate details surrounding the flopped grand coalition between MDC leader Nelson Chamisa and former President Robert Mugabe, saying their failure to secure former Mugabe’s deputy Joice Mujuru led to the failure of the deal.

In a serialised tweets, Moyo said they made efforts to bring Mujuru on board but failed resulting in them abandoning the plan.

“The May 2018 concept was refined in June 2018 to reflect progress made. Concerted efforts to get Dr Joice Mujuru to deputise NC; as a key transitional leader with government & gatekeeping experience & heroic service in the liberation struggle failed!

“After efforts to get Dr Joice Mujuru on board failed, the GRAND National Union concept was ABANDONED. Some parties that had participated in the discussions, took some aspects of the GNU concept & used them to pursue bilateral talks. I’m not privy to how those bilaterals went!,” said Moyo.
