Mocuba (Mozambique) - Mozambican President Armando Guebuza I was sent by President Robert Mugabe to brief President Guebuza on the latest developments of the political situation in Zimbabwe towards the completion of the amendment of the constitution that will result in new general elections in our country, said Sekeramayi, speaking to journalists after the meeting.
According to Mugabes envoy, the Global Political Agreement (GPA), signed in 2009 between Mugabes Zanu (PF) and the two factions of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), is being well implemented and the three signatory parties are working together to ensure peace and stability in the country and ensure economic recovery for the benefit of all Zimbabweans.
He claimed that Zimbabwe is at peace, and urged people not to worry about what is claimed by some unnamed media.
I invite you all to visit every corner of Zimbabwe, whether entering by land or air, to witness that the noises that are said out there about life in Zimbabwe are nothing but lies, said Sekeramayi.
But the fears about violence in Zimbabwe are not the invention of any journalist. They were discussed at the March meeting of the SADC organ on politics, defence and security cooperation.
The SADC troika, consisting of Guebuza, and the South African and Namibian Presidents, Jacob Zuma and Hifikepunye Pohamba, issued a strong statement which specifically stated that the GPA is not being implemented.
The statement said that the troika noted with disappointment insufficient progress and expressed its impatience in the delay of the implementation of the GPA.
The troika also expressed grave concern at the polarization of the political environment as characterized by, inter alia, resurgence of violence, arrests and intimidation in Zimbabwe.
In language which is unusually forceful for SADC meetings, the troika demanded an immediate end to violence, intimidation, hate speech, harassment, and any other form of action that contradicts the letter and spirit of GPA.
