IN what has been described as a new era of collaborative and constructive opposition politics, MDC leader Mr Douglas Mwonzora has called for oneness in the fight against Covid-19.

Mr Mwonzora’s statement follows President Mnangagwa’s call for unity among Zimbabwe in the fight against Covid-19, a pestilence that has affected most families in the country regardless of political affiliation.

President Mnangagwa said the war of liberation was won on the basis of collective effort, adding that the ongoing pandemic would be defeated if all Zimbabweans played their part.

On his part, Mr Mwonzora, who leads the country’s biggest opposition party, urged Zimbabweans to come together in the fight against the global pandemic that has wreaked livelihoods and claimed lives on an unprecedented scale.

In a post on his social media pages, Mwonzora said the Covid-19 pandemic is a crisis that goes beyond political affiliations or personalities.

“We plead with the international community and all stakeholders to assist the Government to make sure that protective clothing is available to all our frontline workers, that protection, in the form of masks as well as sanitisers is made available to poor communities free of charge”.

“This pandemic knows no political affiliation, the fight against Covid-19 should never be politicised, we are all one in the fight against this pandemic. This is time for us as a people to come together and defeat this disease, obviously, this is not the time to score cheap political scores,” said Mr Mwonzora.

Mwonzora’s position signals a major shift in the opposition where some characters have in the past thrived on divisive politics of sabotaging Government to gain political mileage, albeit at the suffering of Zimbabweans.- The Herald
