HARARE - Better cooperation between the two MDC formations could bring about the fall of Zanu (PF), which in the past months has suffered two huge political defeats - one in Parliament for the coveted speakers seat and the other at the hands of the SADC Troika. The Solidarity Peace Trust (SPT) reckons that sustained lobbying by the MDC and civil society was responsible for the loss of Zanu (PF)s cosy relationship with SADC, which it had abused to its advantage in the name of Pan Africanism.
While these developments by no means sealed Zanu (PF)s fate, they provided important indications of hope, especially with the possibility of more cooperation between the two MDCs said the Trust in a recent report.
In order to successfully dislodge Zanu (PF), it prescribes a number of solutions that include, lobbying by both the MDCs and the civic movement needs to be heightened with SADC and AU in order to ensure that the resolutions of the Livingstone summit are enforced as fully as possible.
President Robert Mugabe initially attacked South African President Jacob Zuma over the discarding of the quite diplomacy inherited from his predecessor Thabo Mbeki. But he has now backed off and said Zimbabwe would never attack the regional body.
With Mugabe apparently capitulating, the SPT urged civil organisations in the country to mobilise their regional counterparts to ensure that SADC and the AU maintain pressure on him.
