Farai Dziva|Controversial political figure Linda Masarira has described POLAD as a pet project created by Emmerson Mnangagwa as a way of seeking legitimacy.

“The Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD), is a dialogue platform consisting of fringe political parties created by President Emmerson Mnangagwa in 2019.It is a ZANU PF pet project,” Masarira told a daily publication.

Masarira, who now leads an opposition party called LEAD, was fired from the MDC-T after she was pictured wearing ZANU PF regalia.

However, Masarira has accused MDC T of working with Zanu PF to dilute genuine opposition voices.
