Mujuru dismisses Nkomo's comments that Tsvangirai's a failure, pledges commitment to coalition

National People’s Party (NPP) leader Joice Mujuru has through her spokesperson Gift Nyandoro, dismissed recent comments by Samuel Sipepa Nkomo that Morgan Tsvangirai is a failed politician. She also pledged her commitment to the coalition with Tsvangirai.

Said Nyandoro:

Any assumption or suggestion that Dr Mujuru could quit or dump coalition talks is far divorced from reality. She remains committed to the coalition discourse and the grand 2018 projection that democracy should return to the country. The diverse political posturing that may appear as conflicting statements by members across the divide is a clear reflection of the robust and healthy discourse of super democrats. It is reflective of individual preferences and not of the institutions

When asked by NewsDay for a comment Nkomo denied that he said that Tsvangirai is a failure. Tsvangirai’s spokesperson, Luke Tamborinyoka, denied to comment when asked if they were still negotiating with Mujuru following Nkomo’s remarks.
