Own Correspondent|President Mnangagwa led Parties Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) partners have announced plans to engage SADC, African Union, European Union and United Nations member states purportedly to explain their mandate as they continue with their simingly futile efforts to finding lasting solutions to the country’s economic challenges.

MDC-T vice president Mr Obert Gutu told state media yesterday that they plan to engage important global players.

“We are going to engage all SADC countries in order to explain to them the key objectives and major focus of POLAD. We will also engage the AU, the EU and the United Nations, our plate is already full even before the New Year starts,” said Mr Gutu.

POLAD co-convener Retired Justice Selo Nare said some of their successes this year include visiting Cyclone Idai victims and mobilising resources for the affected communities.

“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,” said Rtd Justice Nare.
