Movement for Democratic Change led by Advocate Nelson Chamisa has described Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) platform, as a “political graveyard judging by the paltry votes garnered by all of its members, starting with Mnangagwa himself.”
MDC deputy spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka says President Mnangagwa is illegitimate, as the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) whittled down his votes tally “a record three times.”
“The collective position of all sane Zimbabweans is the position taken by president (Nelson) Chamisa, which is to snub such comedies at a time citizens are suffering. Mnangagwa continues to talk about Chamisa betrays the real character that Zimbabwe needs for the country to move forward,” he told
the media .
“POLAD is a political graveyard judging by the paltry votes garnered by all of its members, starting with Mnangagwa himself, whose votes Zec (the Zimbawbe Electoral Commission) whittled down a record three times,” Tamborinyoka said.
He added: “Mnangagwa cannot be the convener of an honest and sincere and credible dialogue. That gathering at his farm is a charade. We are talking here of unity of the people and not the unity of leaders over a bottle of whisky.
“The people are suffering and this POLAD political soliloquy has been on-going endlessly with no respite on the lives of the people. It is a self-serving charade. With that troop of political nonentities, Polad is akin to whistling in a political graveyard.”
MDC spokesperson Daniel Molokele weighed in, saying: “We are not interested in joining POLAD. We are very clear that POLAD is not a credible process. Chamisa is not in any political wilderness. He is the most relevant politician right now and is taking a principled stance in the interest of the people of Zimbabwe. The MDC itself is very happy not to be associated with POLAD.”
Meanwhile the MDC Youth Assembly has also weighed in castigating “POLAD” as a ” futile platform for the vanguished”
In a statement released to the media the MDC Youth Assembly thanked Chamisa for refusing to join POLAD
“POLAD is Emmerson Mnangagwa’s pulverized political monologue, POLAD”
“As President Chamisa rightly opines, joining POLAD is akin to betrayal and selling out millions of this generation who yearn for real change
“It is not mendacious that real change can only be ushered in through genuine dialogue on reforms and not some extravagant banquet at Mnangagwa’s farm” reads the statement
“As far as we are concerned, POLAD is nothing more than a club of the vanguished whose common goal is underlined by bitterness, thievery, extravagance and an unquenchable desperate desire for a social contract with the masses.
“Even if we are to combine Emmerson Mnangagwa’s 33% presidential vote with less than 1% paltry votes garnered by his POLAD acolytes in 2018 elections, still they will be far short of the 50% threshold as per our constitutional provisions.” reads the youth statement.

Student Loan Refinance for Lower Payments
Student Loan Refinance: How to Lower Payments
Student loan refinance allows borrowers to replace existing student loans with a new loan. The goal is often to get a lower interest rate, lower monthly payment, or simpler repayment plan.
When you refinance student loans, lenders review credit score, income, debt, employment, and payment history.
Private vs Federal Loans
Refinancing private student loans can sometimes save money. However, refinancing federal loans into a private loan can remove federal protections such as income-driven repayment and forgiveness options.
Borrowers should understand what benefits they may lose before refinancing.
How to Compare Offers
Compare interest rates, repayment terms, fees, cosigner options, and monthly payments. A lower monthly payment may come with a longer term and more total interest.
Conclusion
Student loan refinance may help some borrowers save money, but it is important to compare lenders and understand the trade-offs.
Space Exploration and the Search for Life Beyond Earth
Space exploration has fascinated humanity for generations, inspiring scientific discoveries and technological innovation. Governments and private companies are investing billions of dollars into missions designed to explore the Moon, Mars, and distant regions of the universe. Advances in rocket technology, satellite systems, and astronomy are expanding human understanding of space and the possibility of life beyond Earth.

One major goal of modern space programs is establishing long-term human presence on other planets. Space agencies such as NASA and private companies are developing technologies that could allow astronauts to live and work on Mars in the future. Scientists believe Mars may contain evidence of ancient water systems and potentially microbial life forms that existed billions of years ago.

Space exploration also contributes significantly to technological advancement on Earth. Satellite technology supports communication systems, weather forecasting, navigation services, and disaster management worldwide. Medical research conducted in space environments has also improved healthcare technologies and scientific understanding of human biology.

Despite these challenges, interest in space exploration continues growing globally. Scientists believe future discoveries could provide valuable information about planetary systems, the origins of the universe, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Space exploration represents one of humanity’s greatest scientific and technological ambitions.
