Zimbabwe’s major “opposition” parties which had banked on a Southern African Development Community special summit scheduled for this Sunday to present their objections to holding elections before 31 July are now in a fix as the regional body has postponed the summit.
South African Foreign Affairs spokesman Clayson Monyela is reported to have announced today that the summit had been “postponed to a later stage” but did not give any date.
Leaders of the two factions of the Movement for Democratic Change, Mavambo-Kusile-Dawn, the Zimbabwe African People’s Union and the Zimbabwe African National Union-Ndonga- met yesterday and agreed that it was not practical to hold elections by 31 July as set by the Constitutional Court.
Among the nine points they raised, the leaders were looking forward to the extra ordinary SADC summit to affirm previous SADC resolutions and the agreed roadmap to elections.
