Own Correspondent|State run The Herald reports opposition MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will be joining the Emmerson Mnangagwa initiated Political Actors Dialogue, POLAD.

According to the publication, Chamisa opted for the move after his meeting with former South African President Thabo Mbeki.

“He has already created a negotiating team involving Messrs Tendai Biti, Douglas Mwonzora and one other, after the party’s standing committee meeting on Tuesday,” the paper quotes a source.

“The team will participate in the working teams that were created under POLAD.”

Meanwhile, sources within the MDC earlier this week indicated that Nelson Chamisa is expected to travel to Bulawayo and meet his party’s National Council Thursday and brief it on his meeting this week with former South Africa president in Harare.

“He will be in Bulawayo where he is expected to meet the National Council and touch on a number of key issues including his meeting with Mbeki on Monday,” one of the sources said.

Chamisa has always insisted that he will not join POLAD but works rather have an independent meditation between him and Mnangagwa.
