Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has said that he is now living in fear for his life as he feels that the hatred and animosity that the government has towards him has reached new alarming levels.
This follows a dramatic weekend when the government attempted to block him from attending anything related to the late music icon Oliver Mtukudzi. The state successfully managed to bar him from attending Oliver Mtukudzi’s tribute concert at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday although they failed to stop him from attending his burial after he was saved by irate mourners.
Speaking to Daily News, Chamisa said:
My life is now in danger because the hatred has now reached another level. Sadly, that is based on fear and you know what, all fearful people are dangerous.
The behaviour that they are demonstrating shows that they can do anything.

Dialogue is important. There is no national progress without an honest conversation, we need to look at the character and content of our objectives, you cannot have international engagement without national conversation, you cannot look for friends internationally without looking for friends in your country, you cannot move around saying Zimbabwe is open for anything when Zimbabwe is divided, when there is division and the vision is empty.
There must be dialogue; this dialogue is not about power. There are misguided elements who think a certain party needs dialogue…In uncivilised countries, people lose lives on account of politics but in civilised democracies politics save a life; why should we lose life in order to have a dialogue if we can have a dialogue first?
