“There is no date set as yet for his coming at the moment. President Zuma will come when he is able to.”
President Zuma’s office, she said, never issued a statement saying the South African leader would be coming to Harare as reported by some media houses.
“That obviously did not come from our office. Many people have been calling me asking about the issue,” she said.
Asked when President Zuma’s backroom team would be back, Ms Zulu said that depended on progress made by negotiators to the GPA.
“The facilitation team was in Harare a week and half ago and we met the negotiating team. Our return now depends on the progress by negotiators.”
The facilitation backroom team met negotiators as well as the Joint Monitoring and Implementation Committee.
The Sadc summit in Luanda, Angola, tasked President Zuma to assist parties to resolve their differences. It was also resolved that elections should be held within the next 12 months.
