Three envoys sent by President Cyril Ramaphosa to assess the gross human rights violations by the goverment in Zimbabwe yesterday met President Mnangagwa at State House.

The three-member delegation is led by former South African Minister of Safety and Security Dr Sydney Mufamadi who is accompanied by former Speaker of Parliament Baleka Mbete and former South Africa’s Minister of Public Service and Administration Advocate Ngoako Ramatlhodi.

Speaking to journalists soon after the closed door meeting with Mnangagwa, Dr Mufamadi said they are in the country as envoys of the President of South Africa and so not in a position to disclose what was discussed in the meeting.

“We are not going to respond for our President through the media. We will be reporting to the President first, who will then interact with the public in due course,” said Dr Mufamadi.
