Own Correspondent|MDC–Alliance leader Mr Nelson Chamisa yesterday made a moving personal confessed that the country’s woes are caused by the country’s political forces more than any other factors.

Chamisa made the confession in Harare on Friday where he was part of political, church and civil society leaders who attended the National Leaders Breakfast Prayer Meeting held at the Harare International Conference Centre.

The meeting was organised by the Zimbabwe Council of Churches.

A highly moved Chamisa who is also an ordained pastor said the challenges facing the country could not be solved without repentance.

“There is no reconciliation and dialogue which can ever take place if there is no confession,” he said.

“I realise that President Mnangagwa is not here, I would have wanted to say what I want to say while he is around, but I will say my piece,” he said.

“We, the politicians are the source of agonies in our country,” he said. “I am ready right now to meet President Mnangagwa so that we can dialogue and solve the crisis this country is facing.

“There can never be a confession without revelation, and there can never be revelation without humility, so I must confess that as politicians we are the source of the agonies of our land.”

Chamisa said as political leaders there was need for them to repent from their wicked ways.

“As a people we have not reached the stage of humility. It should not be difficult for me to see (President) Mnangagwa and we dialogue.”
