Farai Dziva|Former MDC official Lucia Matibenga has attacked MDC A leader Nelson Chamisa for snubbing the Zanu PF initiated National Dialogue.

Speaking at the launch of the National Dialogue in the capital today Matibenga said:”If you are a Zimbabwean and if you are patriotic then you have to be part of this dialogue.

That is why I am part of the dialogue.If you choose to stay away from this key national process then you are unpatriotic,” said Matibenga.

Chamisa argues the national dialogue process is meant to legitimize and authenticate Mnangagwa’s controversial victory in the 2018 polls.

Analysts say Mnangagwa is using the dialogue process to coax the restive Zimbabwean population.
