Haraare(ZimEye)-Zimbabwe’s ageing President President Mugabe has shot down at the SADC bloc accusing it for interfering with Zimbabwe’s internal affairs at the recent SADC troika meeting in Livingstone.
 
President Mugabe told the 84th Ordinary Session of the Zanu-PF Central Committee in Harare yesterday that if people rejected a draft constitution currently being worked on, Zimbabwe would still have elections under the Lancaster House constitution. Mugabe said other countries including the country’s neighbors and the facilitator to the crisis should only mediate and not dictate how Zimbabwe should run its internal affairs.
 
“Any organisation, body or group of persons that is established by the Troika or Sadc should not prescribe to us what to do.

“A facilitator is a facilitator and should facilitate dialogue between Zimbabweans by way of persuasion.
“That is the best he can do. He cannot prescribe that we do A, B, C, D. We prescribe to ourselves to do A, B, C, D in accordance with our own laws,” said Mugabe.
“MDC-T thinks that Sadc or AU can tell us how we can do our business or how to implement what we have agreed.
“We are a sovereign State and as a sovereign State we don’t accept any interference and even our neighbours should not tell us what to do.”
This comes after the octogenarian leader was warned by the troika chairperson Rupia Banda of the possible North Africa style uprising if he continued to take the people for granted.
“If there is anything that we must learn from the upheavals going on in the northern part of our continent, it is that the legitimate expectations of the citizens of our countries cannot be taken for granted,” President Banda declared.
“We must therefore continue at the SADC level to consolidate democracy through the establishment of institutions that uphold the tenets of good governance, respect for human rights and the rule of law,” he said.
“The issues that we will be addressing require decisive resolutions in charting the future of our regional body.”
Mugabe said the country could go for elections without a new constitution if the people where to reject the one under formulation.
However many stakeholders have warned against going for elections under the current constitution saying this would result in blood shed as is the Zanu (PF) tactic of winning elections.
“We have a new constitution being formulated. The process is slow, but we would want to see at the end of the day whether the draft constitution is going to be accepted by the people.
“If accepted, well, then we proceed to elections and if people reject it, we then go to elections on the basis of the old constitution. We should be ready for the outcome, but being ready for the outcome is another story and preparing for it is another story,” said Mugabe.(ZimEye, Zimbabwe)

  1. I remember very well these Zanu PF fools on this forum vowing that SADC will never raise anything negative against His excellency RG Mugabe. Now what has happened? His Excellency is only excellent in destruction of vibrant economies, murder, election fraud and corruption. SADC have realised it and told this goblin to his face. How sweet, now he has no friends left except those being rebelled against by their own people like Gaddafi and Gbagbo the loser. I just love it!

  2. You can fool some of the people some of the time however you can not fool all of the people all of the time. Zimbabwean faces will soon be smiling becuase the immovable will meet the irristable.

  5. The silly pathetic zanu muppets who behave like fireflies that think they are stars. Don’t you realise you will never equal stars in size, and that you were never really stars at heart, even Africa detests you. Zimbabwe will soon celebtate your demise.

  6. Bla Miki, iwe ndiwe chimhunhu chakableya, musoro usina njere unosoro nanzva tsoka dzechimunhu chaka expire pasichigare. Wheteher you like it or not it is a fact the world over that Bob your father is finished & he is just a moving skeleton and goblin that thrives on killing people to gain a bit more strength to remain.

  7. Ini ndine nharo Mutororo akapusa, Mudhara panyanga narinhi. Zuma arikuona fire kwake ku SA nenyaya yepa Lybia saka usadheerere munhu uyu mhani. Kwanzi ndekupi kunoitwa ma elections kukashayiwa violence? what a brave question from a brave man.

  8. Ini ndine nharo Chando kupisa. Kamudhara kenyu aka kamuroyi or witch to be specific. He will not rule Zimbabwe in the next presidential term of office.
