Exiled former Zanu PF cabinet minister and independent presidential candidate, Saviour Kasukuwere, has said that he does not consider main opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party leader Nelson Chamisa as an adversary but a partner and colleague in the struggle for a better Zimbabwe.
Kasukuwere, who recently revealed that ex-Tourism and Hospitality Industry minister Walter Mzembi is his running mate in the presidential race for Harmonized Elections slated for 23 August, 2023, made the remarks on Twitter.
“Our promise to Zimbabwe. We will never regard Nelson Chamisa as an adversary in this campaign,” he posted.
“Rather we see all progressive forces as partners and colleagues in the just struggle for a better Zimbabwe. We shall work to create an environment for Zimbabweans to find each other,” added Kasukuwere.
According to the former cabinet minister who fled the country after late former president Robert Mugabe was overthrown in a military coup that propelled current leader Emmerson Mnangagwa to the presidency, also added saying, “our role as leaders is not to divide the people”.
“We are committed to harnessing our collective strengths for the development of the motherland. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Choose the UNIFIER”.
Below, we publish some of the responses to Kasukuwere’s post.

I agree with you on working together.– Son of Sadaar
Working together, mozoita after election results. Let every man run his race without impediment. Besides, you are not the incumbent,how can you decide the environment in which NC will campaign when you haven’t even shown your face on the ground?– TBlessed
Whatever lessons you have learnt, only you would know. I remember during GNU, you were known for your hardline stance again MRT. You even refused to attend cabinet meetings that he chaired. You will need to forgive those with long memories for not forgetting.– Vakuru
With your history, wouldn’t trust that is sencire. President Chamisa is not a difficult man. He will forgive, he won’t forget. Knowing he’s the incoming President, I’m sure he will give you a chance. He also wants to close chapters you chronicled in the history of Zimbabwe– Baa Maa

You were supposed to cultivate such mindset when you were in @ZANUPF_Official. If you and your hoodlums had agreed that @ZANUPF_Officiallost to Morgan Tsvangirai in 2008 we wouldn’t be where we are today. Instead you focussed on bequeathing wealth for yourself and your family.– General Mpofu
