Jane Mlambo| Firebrand Norton legislator Temba Mliswa has told President Emmerson Mnangagwa to humble himself and open dialogue with Nelson Chamisa, leader of the main opposition MDC to allow the nation to move forward.

Appearing to an online news organisation NewZimbabwe, Mliswa said it was suicidal for Mnangagwa to proceed with his dialogue with fringe political leaders while ignoring Chamisa who has insisted the elections were rigged.

“You cannot ignore Chamisa as well being the leader of the biggest opposition in the country. Yes, the political actors dialogue is there but how influential are they as political actors?

“I have always said some of them don’t have even the votes that I got in my constituency, yet they are leaders of parties. So to be fair he (Mnangagwa) could be meeting with people of no influence at the same time leaving out those with influence,” said Mliswa.

“I think it is important that we urge them (Mnangagwa and Chamisa) to meet. Chamisa has the right to say I need to meet with you President, on one to one before I meet with others,” Mliswa added.
