IFP Welcomes New Zimbabwe Mediation Team
|
The IFP welcomes the appointment and dispatch by President Jacob Zuma of a special team of negotiators, to facilitate the political dialogue in Zimbabwe. This is a positive move forward in an attempt to unlock the political impasse in Zimbabwe. The IFP is, however, concerned about the lack of details in the SADC agreement. The vagueness of the unity agreement is the major and material source of the impediment, as it allows the parties concerned to place their own interpretations on the provisions of this vague agreement. The IFP further hopes that President Zuma's negotiating team will focus on closing these loopholes, including persuading the Parliament of Zimbabwe to adopt an all-inclusive constitution-making process.
