Chamisa, ED talks inevitable: Mtata

DIALOGUE between opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa and President Emmerson Mnangagwa remains key in resolving the country’s multi-layered political and economic crises and churches will push for the talks to materialise, says Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) secretary-general Kenneth Mtata (KM).

KM: The ZCC has been working with other church bodies and civil society organisations to promote peace through dialogue.

ND: What is the church’s view on the national lockdown and how has it affected faith-based organisations?

KM: COVID-19 comes at a time the nation is facing challenges at three levels.

ND: In your view, are the country’s leaders, Mnangagwa and Chamisa going to sit down for talks like their predecessors the late former President Robert Mugabe and the late MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai did?
