PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has dismissed social media narratives of a crisis in Zimbabwe instead declaring that the 2018 election produced a clear winner.

Speaking at the fourth meeting for Political Actors Dialogue held on Friday morning, President Mnangagwa said some sections of society have been crying foul, protesting against the arrests of some elements whose actions have incited public violence even in the midst of the global Covid-19 pandemic as well as in violation of guidelines to reduce its spread set by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

“I wish to unequivocally state that there is no crisis in Zimbabwe as elections were held in July 2018 and a winner was declared in terms of the country’s Constitution. All contestants were invited to join this dialogue in the national interest,” the President said.

The President reiterated the door was still open for those on the outside and government continues to make huge strides towards development all round using limited resources.

President Mnangagwa said the challenges that had befallen the country call for a continued unity of purpose across the political divide.

“Your continued commitment to the call to serve the country is acknowledged and will surely result in the making of a great country,” he said.
