Chamisa approaches SADC as Zimbabwe goes to the polls

Zimbabwe’s MDC Alliance leader, Nelson Chamisa is reportedly going send emissaries to South Africa and Angola in his regional diplomatic offensive aimed at pushing President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) to bow to his demands for free, fair and credible elections.

According to reports, the Alliance will dispatch three of its principals Tendai Biti, Welshman Ncube and MDC-T secretary general, Douglas Mwonzora by the end of next week to raise red flags in what they have termed electoral violations.

Chamisa’s chief election agent Jameson Timba confirmed that Chamisa has already reached out to President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa, who is the chairperson of Sadc, and Angolan President João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço.
