President Emmerson Mnangagwa has pledged to bankroll the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD), a negotiating platform with little-known opposition politicians that he created in May this year.
Speaking after receiving a report from the POLAD interlocutors during a meeting at his Kwekwe farm, Mnangagwa said he is not averse to funding his pet project. He said:
In May thereabout when we created Polad, we had no direct funding. But now this is a platform which government must support because it brings harmony, it brings peace, it brings development in the country.
