because he is not interested in extending the life of the inclusive Government.
The GPA — which gave birth to the inclusive Govern-ment that brought together Zanu-PF, MDC-T and MDC — has a lifespan of 24 months that is set to end in February next year.
President Mugabe said a referendum should be held in the first three months of the year, and elections mid-next year.
Addressing the Zanu-PF National Youth Assembly in Harare yesterday, President Mugabe expressed dismay at Mr Tsvangirai’s propensity to invite foreigners, particularly Europeans, into Zimbabwe’s domestic affairs.
He said that was not the basis on which the inclusive Government was formed.
The constitution-making process, President Mugabe said, was almost complete and a referendum has to be conducted to pave way for elections.
“The life of this creature called the GPA is only two years and it started in February last year. So, February this year it was one year down.
“February next year, which is about four months to go, then it will have lived its full life and I do not know what is going to happen if we are not ready with a constitution.
“Some will say let us negotiate and give it another life. I am reluctant because part of the things that are happening (in the inclusive Government) are absolutely foolish and stupid.”
President Mugabe said the inclusive Government was formed to resolve domestic issues internally with the assistance of Sadc and the African Union; not Europeans.
The Head of State and Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces said MDC-T relied on the same Europe and America that imposed illegal sanctions on the country.
He said he had no objections to constitution-making being given more time to wind up, but was totally against giving the inclusive Government another lease of life.
