Own Correspondent|MDC leader Nelson Chamisa is set to join POLAD after allegedly dumping the idea of an external mediator in Zimbabwe’s political dialogue, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Spokesperson George Charamba has said.

On Thursday Chamisa said the country could not out-source solutions as local leaders had to sit down and find home-grown solutions.

“We are there to solve our own problems. We have the answers to our problems. We can’t have South Africa solving our problems, it has its own problems to take care of,” said Chamisa. “Americans can’t have a solution for this country as it has its own domestic problems to solve. We can’t out-source solutions for this country. I have heard people talking of President Mbeki saying this and that. We should solve our own problems.”
