President
Emmerson Mnangagwa has told MDC leader, Nelson Chamisa that he does not need
his endorsement to be legitimate.
“We hope that
maturity will visit him [Chamisa] some day and he realises that winners do not
win on the goodwill of losers. So, the silence of Mnangagwa is not a weakness.
He is a man of steel and wool, depending on which side you tickle him.”
“This narrative
that the legitimacy of the president is made through acceptance of defeat by
the opposition leader is a false narrative. If it did, we will not need the
Zimbabwe Electoral Commission or the courts.
“We would need
the say-so of the opposition, but there is no human being who confers
legitimacy on a person who won the plebiscite. It means you are placing
yourself above courts, and all this prattling is to us prattle of an undersized
political child,” his spokesman George Charamba told The Standard.
