THE MDC Alliance led by Nelson Chamisa has hinted at possible forgiveness for former Robert Mugabe whose erstwhile administration has been accused of sanctioning the killing of an estimated 20,000 civilians in Matebeleland and Midlands provinces.
In its manifesto, the MDC Alliance says "in order to move forward, wrongs of the past must be corrected, but in an inclusive, just and non-vindictive way. The future must not be a prisoner of the pas; but equally so, past grievances must not be sacrificed at the altar of future dreams".
Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com on the side-lines of the manifesto launch last Thursday, Alliance spokesperson Welshman Ncube said an MDC government will not risk deepening divisions in the country through pursuing old scores with the enemy.
"President Chamisa has said we can't go forward while looking at the rear view mirror repeatedly," Ncube said.
Mugabe has reportedly confided in allies he feared incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his regime could pursue him and his family if they were to return July 30 to form the next government after elections.
Watch what he said on BBC HardTalk.
