MDC-T leader Thokozani Khupe

Farai Dziva|MDC-T president Thokozani Khupe has claimed that protests will not resolve the country’s economic challenges.

Khupe is part of the national dialogue under the banner of the Political Actors Dialogue (Polad).

Khupe told a state run publication she was against the protests.

“My issue is that you can only resolve issues by sitting around the table and talking to each other.

You cannot resolve issues by throwing stones, by burning tyres and by going out there. But you can only resolve issues by sitting around and discussing issues like we are doing right now (in Polad).

If we sit down with them (Government) and they explain to us what is going on, we can also give our input. I’m pretty sure that Government and the President listen to some of the issues that we present to them,” said Khupe.

“The problem is the exchange rates. The prices are increasing because they are chasing the exchange rate. Once it goes up everything else increases. That is what we have told them that you must deal with the issue of prices because the cost of living does not match wages and salaries. Wages must match the cost of living,” she added.
