Said Chamisa:<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m ready to meet President Mnangagwa. I say President not because our dispute is resolved, but he\u2019s President of his party and I\u2019m President of mine.<\/p>\n<p>It should not be difficult for me and Mnangagwa to talk \u2026 Any minute longer is time wasted. I would love to meet here and in any room. The fundamental problem is we need peace and unity.<\/p>\n<p>Mnangagwa and I need to meet. As it is, my legislators can\u2019t sleep and my people have been brutalised.<\/p>\n<p>This country is very important. If we are to dialogue, the church is appropriate to lead this dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mnangagwa\u2019s close ally and Deputy Minister for Information Energy Mutodi claimed that the reason why Mnangagwa did not show up for the prayer meeting was that Chamisa did not show up at State House yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Mnangagwa was represented by the ZANU PF national chairperson who is also Minister of Defence, Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri at the prayer meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MDC Alliance candidate in the 2018 harmonised election, Nelson Chamisa said that he is ready to meet with President Emmerson Mnangagwa for dialogue at any time but as an equal.
