South African leaders appear willfully blind to realities – from ‘Crisis, what crisis?’ Mbeki to Zuma’s dismissal of Zanu (PF)’s latest attempt to subvert the constitution-making process as ‘minor hitches’. In the hope of seeing a more dynamic approach to the Zimbabwe problem the Vigil presented a letter to the President of Mozambique on Tuesday as part of the 21st Movement Free Zimbabwe Global Diaspora Protest.
The letter calls on the new SADC chair to urge the grouping to “now insist that Zanu (PF) immediately end its refusal to the appointment of SADC representatives to the Joint Monitoring and Implementation Committee” and says SADC leaders need to maintain pressure on Zanu (PF) to honour its commitment to reform.
