GPA rift: Zuma heads for Zim
Hebert Zharare News Editor
THE recent extraordinary Sadc summit tasked facilitator to the Global Political Agreement, President Jacob Zuma of South Africa, to urgently visit Zimbabwe and meet GPA principals to resolve their differences.
The resolutions of these differences should be done within a timeframe so that the country proceeds to conduct elections.
Zanu-PF insists the harmonised elections should be held this year, while the MDC formations want them next year. All the parties in the inclusive Government told Sadc leaders during the Angola summit last week that they were ready for elections.
However, the MDC formations are being accused of deliberately confusing Zimbabweans on the outcome of the summit.
Presidential spokesperson Mr George Charamba yesterday said the summit made it clear to all parties that time was not on their side as the GPA was coming to “a close.”
The term of the current Parliament ends in March next year.
