MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa has said that the appointment of President Emmerson Mnangagwa as the deputy chair of the Sadc troika on politics and security, was an appointment for the country and not for an individual. Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Chamisa said
I know some will say Mr Mnangagwa was given the position of deputy chairman of the Sadc organ. That position is given to a country, it is not a Mnangagwa position. I will take up that position as Head of State once the processes have been confirmed. It is not Mr Mnangagwa’s position and it is a country’s position and that must be known. We don’t want people who celebrate nothing and want to make it something. He has not been appointed and there is no confidence in Sadc and that is why he came back empty-handed. He was not celebrated and he was not honoured.
