Farai Dziva|MDC presidential spokesperson Nkululeko Sibanda says Emmerson Mnangagwa must swallow his pride and negotiate with the opposition party.

Speaking to the Daily News, Sibanda urged Mnangagwa to “swallow his pride” to enable the country to move forward.

“They must know that Edgar Whitehead’s banning of the National Democratic Party in 1961 led to a more radical Zapu and, later Zanu being formed.

Instead of beating, abducting, torturing and arresting MDC leaders, we implore Zanu PF to put the people of Zimbabwe ahead of its power obsession.

The MDC has been clear that … Mnangagwa must swallow his pride and embark on negotiations to extricate Zimbabwe from its current abyss,” said Sibanda.
