Constitution and Parliamentary Affairs minister Eric Matinenga has clashed with his boss Morgan Tsvangirai for reportedly contradicting the party position by suggesting another government of national unity may be in the offing after the next election.
Matinenga's utterances made at a discussion forum under the theme Refining the Justice System in Zimbabwe, Lessons from Kenya, organised by the United States embassy last week were in contradiction of the MDC-T's position on the GNU.
The MDC-T maintains there would be no repeat of the transitional arrangement.
The minister said: "It is not a nice picture to look at, Zimbabwe is heading into another unity government after the next elections."
But Tsvangirai, through his party spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora, yesterday said there would be no other dance with the former ruling party in a coalition government.
The MDC-T is fighting for the Zimbabwean people to have an option to choose a government of their choice.
We have noticed that the GNU has been rendered dysfunctional by the intransigence of President Mugabe and Zanu PF, Mwonzora said.
