Binga North MP, Prince Dubeko Sibanda (MDC-T) said Primary and Secondary Education deputy minister, Paul Mavima must explain how the national pledge was crafted and if there was any consensus on its contents.

“There are two foundations for the so-called consensus, the first being the fact that virtually all words in the national pledge are coming from our Constitution, which was crafted based on extensive consultations,” Mavhima responded.
