SA coalition indaba organisers attack MDC Alliance, Zanu PF

Organisers of the recently held coalition workshop for Zimbabwean opposition parties held in South Africa have come out guns blazing, accusing Zanu PF and some elements within the MDC Alliance of peddling malicious falsehoods regarding the indaba.

Brian Kagoro, Thoko Matshe and Brian Raftopoulos said the indaba was a workshop to train opposition parties on how they can handle coalitions, drawing lessons from other African countries that have held successful electoral pacts.

“Several malicious and unfounded falsehoods have been deliberately peddled by the Zanu PF leadership and elements within the MDC Alliance regarding a workshop that we helped put together and facilitated in Cape Town on February 8 and 9,” a joint statement from the trio released yesterday read.
