Zapu joins Code

THE Dumiso Dabengwa-led Zapu yesterday became the sixth opposition political party to formally join the Coalition for Democrats (Code), as the group continues to push for the formation of a grand coalition with alternative solutions to the Zimbabwe crisis ahead of the 2018 elections.

The signing ceremony was temporarily delayed after police officers stormed a Harare hotel saying the gathering had not been sanctioned under the Public Order Security Act.

This resulted in the ceremony being moved to Renewal Democrats of Zimbabwe (RDZ) offices in the capital.
