Mujuru, Tsvangirai in joint diplomatic offensive

Efforts to establish a grand coalition that will challenge President Robert Mugabe's Zanu PF in 2018 have gathered pace amid reports of an international and regional diplomatic push to bring opposition forces together.

Sources told NewsDay this week that Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) leader Joice Mujuru had already met with South African President Jacob Zuma "for consultations".

Mujuru has been in South Africa since last week where she addressed a rally in Pretoria calling on Zimbabweans in the Diaspora to find ways of taking part in the country's electoral processes.

MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai, sources said, would take advantage of his medical trip to South Africa to also meet with Zuma.
