No smear campaign will deter me: Bakare

THE convener of National Convergence Platform (NCP), retired Anglican Bishop Sebastian Bakare, has said no smear campaign will deter progress made in bringing Zimbabweans together to deal with the country’s problems.

State media accused Bakare of playing a “go-between” role on behalf the United States embassy to bring MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai and former Vice-President Joice Mujuru to the negotiating table and form a pact.

However, Bakare distanced himself from the allegations, saying preparations for the platform, set for October 24, were at an advanced stage.
