Cde Gumbo said GPA negotiators had also indicated that they would advise the facilitator when they were ready.
He, however, said the delay in President Zuma’s visit will not have any bearing on the holding of general elections.
He said the Zanu-PF Politburo and Central Committee will meet tomorrow and on Friday respectively, to come up with a definitive position regarding elections.
Cde Gumbo said other parties in the inclusive Government were trying to delay elections.
Mr Mwonzora said parties in the inclusive Government should first complete the Constitution-making process before talking about President Zuma’s visit.
“One of the reasons that is delaying President Zuma’s visit is that Zimbabwe has not completed the important task of Constitution-making.
“It will be more sensible for President Zuma to come after the conclusion of the Constitution-making process, which is one of the key factors,” he said.
Mr Mwonzora said apart from being a facilitator in Zimbabwe’s inter party dialogue, the South African leader had a country to run.
He said President Zuma was attending an important conference in his country, making it impossible to visit Zimbabwe this week.
MDC officials could not be reached for comment last night.
President Zuma’s backroom staff recently met negotiators, the Joint Monitoring and Implementation Committee and minority parties outside the inclusive Government.
The Sadc summit in Luanda, Angola, tasked President Zuma to assist parties to resolve their differences.
It was also agreed that general elections should be held within the next 12 months.
Zanu-PF wants elections this year, while MDC formations are calling for reforms before the polls are conducted.
