MDC Deputy President, Dr Thokozani Khupe says she is ready
to meet Nelson Chamisa to thrash the way forward.
But she said she does not want to meet him at party
headquarters. Her personal assistant Mr Witness Dube said :“The possibility is
there that the two may find common ground. They are not enemies but there are
disagreements in terms of principles and values of the party that have to be
ironed out. Dr Khupe is therefore pursuing internal remedies which include
meeting with Adv Chamisa to find common ground. Let’s not rule out the
prospects of them finding each other because what unites them is stronger than
what separates them. The feeling is that the power grab that happened following
the death of Mr Tsvangirai complicated things in the party and those are the
things that will be up for discussion if the meeting succeeds,” said Mr Dube.
He added that it was wrong for anyone in the party to
insinuate that Dr Khupe last attended party meetings eight months ago as it was
not factual.
“Dr Khupe has been attending meetings. She even went to Adv
Chamisa’s Chambers on 13 February a day before the president died. There is a
difference between alliance meetings and party meetings.
“She has been quite consistent in her stance on the
political alliance. She has unequivocally said she sees no value in it but
strategic faults and president Tsvangirai had said he would want to hear her
out but unfortunately he passed on before they resolved the alliance impasse
and that was why she had approached Adv Chamisa,” said Mr Dube.
