Political parties under the auspices of the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) will within a few weeks have a proper information unit to publicise their successes.

POLAD co-convener Retired Justice Selo Nare said participants had noticed with concern the negative publicity by parties pushing for exclusive dialogue.

Some of POLAD’s major successes include visiting Cyclone Idai victims and helping to mobilise resources for the affected communities “a major milestone by POLAD”.

“Another major highlight was the positive response by Government in subsiding mealie-meal after POLAD’s engagement with responsible ministers. The response by SADC to POLAD in solidarity with the Government on the unconditional removal of sanctions was also a major success,” he said.

A report on progress and the need for further action were crafted when political leaders met in Kadoma on Saturday to discuss achievements and challenges during the year.

It was presented to President Mnangagwa during their Unity Day meeting yesterday.

Said Justice Nare: “POLAD also noted the spirited disinformation campaign by parties outside POLAD and has resolved to activate its information response mechanism as a matter of urgency.”State media
