President Jacob Zumas facilitation team is due in Harare tomorrow, Monday June 14 in an effort to find a solution to Zimbabwes political logjam. The visit is a follow-up to President Robert Mugabe, prime minister Morgan Tsvangira and deputy PM Arthur Mutambaras meeting last Tuesday which failed to resolve the deadlock.
The three leaders discussed their parties negotiators report of 6th April. They failed to reach agreement on any of those sticking points which the party negotiators had been unable to resolve.
The continuing deadlock will have to be reported to President Zuma and then to the SADC Organ Troika with a view to a SADC Summit. [Comment: The Soccer World Cup finals in South Africa run until 11th July. So it may well be that any serious moves by President Zuma will be delayed until the World Cup is over. The next regular SADC Summit is scheduled for August, which could mean that hopes of a special Summit before then are unrealistic.]
