The United African National Council has disclosed that it has an exit plan for Mugabe following his failure to uphold revolutionary ideals and grant adequate service delivery to the public as per his manifesto during the 1980 elections.

Speaking at a press conference held this afternoon, the UANC President, Nesbert Mtengezanwa said Zimbabweans fought the liberation struggle to achieve peace, progress, equality, justice, love and respect but today get the opposite and therefore Mugabe should consider negotiations.

“Because of this, we need to engage Mugabe because he is an understanding man. We even have an exit plan for him and his government so that we save Zimbabweans. We will convene all political parties and set up a transitional government until Zimbabweans vote for a government they want.”

UANC added that it was not a good idea for Mugabe to go by the way of election looking at the duration of his rule.

“As the President of UANC, I urge you (Mugabe) to seek dialogue with opposition parties and salvage what is left of your battered image. Your good deed in the beginning are being fast eroded by the evil your cronies are now doing,” said Mtengezanwa.

The UANC is a political party that was formed and led by the late Bishop Abel Muzorewa and contested in the 1980 elections.

He also snubbed ZANU PF’s policies saying they have plunged the country into an economic crunch and deterred investment while reducing it into a market economy where the Chinese have found a dumping ground for their cheap products.

Tendai Munhazu, a civilian in the city acknowledged Mtengezanwa’s sentiments citing that the Chinese are capitalizing on the weak economy to dump their sub-standard products.

“Well, we are nolonger producing anything because our industries are closed. If you are buying a shoe from Bata today, its about $24, imagine how much you will need to spend to buy a genuine import; it will be a lot. So they are dumping their stuff here because of our struggling economy,” Munhazu said.
