Explaining her prediction, the MDC-T minister said; Free and fair elections are possible provided that we implement those things in the GPA that we agreed to which would lead to a peaceful environment and a tolerant environment. She cited the need for reforms in the security sector and the need to build political tolerance.
Makone said it was important for the Zimbabwe Election Commission , Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission and Zimbabwe Media Commission to do the work that they were set up for. All these things she said would contribute to a conducive environment being put into place.
Asked if it had been a mistake for the MDC-T to enter into the coalition government Makone said; It was not a mistake at all because when you read the Amendment Number 19 (the clause in the constitution, adding the GPA) and all its provisions, it had taken into account all the things that were of concern to the people of Zimbabwe. The problem she said was the non implementation of the agreement.
