MDC T leader Douglas Mwonzora says he deserves praise for meeting President Emmerson Mnangagwa at State House, claiming other opposition leaders are afraid of the Zanu PF leader.
Mwonzora, who is accused of working with Zanu PF to cripple the opposition, yesterday told MDC-T supporters at Pelendaba Hall in Bulawayo that dialogue with the ruling party was the only route towards solving Zimbabwe’s long running socio-economic crisis.
“When I left the State House many accused me of being a sell-out, but I said no I didn’t,” he said.
“But the problem is that you are scared of Mnangagwa, you only resort to insulting him on Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp where he can’t see you.
“But myself, I went to see him face to face. I am never afraid, so I should be praised for that.”
He apologised to supporters for the party’s recent split, saying it was regrettable.
Mwonzora and his former deputy Thokozani Khupe recently split after a struggle for power and sharp differences.
