By Talent Gondo- In a meeting with local media editors recently, Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Monica Mutsvangwa said  challenges confronting the country require collective efforts and a unity of purpose at all levels, which was the basis of national dialogue.

She said it was important to understand that calls for dialogue were not meant to negotiate any power sharing agreement with anyone.

She said:

“It is for this noble cause that His Excellency, the President, called for national dialogue across all political parties so we put our minds together to confront our challenges and work as a nation to move the country forward.

I want to take this opportunity to clarify that dialogue is not the same thing with power sharing negotiations. Every time we go for elections to elect a government, losers selectively choose components of the election results to accept and reject.”
