By Own Correspondent- In her address, MDC-T president Dr Thokozani Khupe said the dialogue is about development and must put ordinary people first.

Said Khupe in her vote of thanks address at the launch of the political parties National Dialogue in Harare Friday:

“This dialogue is not top-up in approach but a bottom-up approach. It’s not about President Mnangagwa or Khupe of Professor Madhuku but about Zimbabweans.

We may belong to different political parties but we have the same aspirations. Differing is healthy but let it not make us to fight. I thank the parties for putting their heads on the block despite the efforts of prophets of doom.

His Excellency the President said all the political parties had their visions and he said he had this desire for us to share these visions and I would like to say thank you your Excellency.

I want to thank you for believing that Zimbabwe is bigger than an individual or political party. This is just the beginning of a long journey; it’s not an event but a process.”
