MDC leader, Nelson Chamisa has apologised for his gender
political banter that sparked a storm.
In a interview with News24, Chamisa said that he did not
mean to cause any harm when he made the comments.
He said that although he was not sure why people took
offence at his joke, he was "sincerely sorry" to those he "may
have hurt".
Chamisa said the joke was an "illustration" meant
to show the ruling Zanu-PFs inability to "win in a free and fair
election".
"If anyone felt hurt about the joke I am sorry. It was
just a political banter that I used to illustrate that even if I promised to
give him (Mnangagwa) my most prized position, he would still not be able to
defeat us in a free and fair election," said Chamisa.
Chamisa also lashed out at opportunistic political rivals
who he said used the political banter to "score cheap political
points".
"The joke should have been a non-issue, because most
Zimbabweans are worried about issues of survival. This is just a sideshow that
is being used by irrelevant people to score cheap political points at my
expense," said Chamisa.
