GABORONE Botswanas President Ian Khama The power-sharing agreement or global political agreement (GPA) gave birth to Zimbabwes unity government that analysts say is the most viable way to end Zimbabwes political problems.
But the GPA is yet to be implemented in full with both Zanu (PF) and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirais MDC-T party blaming each other for stalling on the agreement.
Khama who won Botswanas presidential election last month made it apparent that he believed Mugabe and Zanu (PF) were to blame for the slow progress in implementing the GPA and said new elections were the only solution to resolve the political stalemate in Zimbabwe.
“In the absence of genuine partnership, it would be better for all parties to go back to the people, for they are the ultimate authority to determine who should form the government of Zimbabwe,” Khama told Botswanas Parliament last week.
He added: “I must here however express concern at the continued failure of Zanu (PF) in that country to fully honour the spirit of the power-sharing agreement.
However Zanu (PF), MDC-T and Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambaras MDC-M party are expected to resume negotiations in line with a SADC recommendation to resolve all outstanding issues from the GPA holding back the coalition government.
