IFP piles pressure on Mugabe, Mswati

JOHANNESBURG - South Africas opposition Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) says while President Jacob Zuma and SADC are on the right path towards finding lasting solutions to the crisis in Zimbabwe, more needs to be done to ensure that Zanu (PF) complies with the Global Political Agreement.

It remains crucial to maintain the prerogatives of President Jacob Zuma and the other African Heads of State to pursue a rigorous implementation of the global agreement in Zimbabwe until there are free and fair elections, IFP said.

Secondly, Zuma should urgently negotiate with the Speaker of Parliament for the establishment of a multi-party Parliamentary Forum, consisting of leaders of all the Parties in Parliament, to be led by the Speaker or his designate, to engage with their counterparts in Zanu-PF and MDC on the questions of peace creation, reconciliation and cooperation involving politics and civil society. It should be noted that Members of Parliament anywhere are better placed to involve their constituencies in such processes.

Scores of opposition activists are languishing in jail after the King Mswati III regime descended on mass protests calling for his retirement.
