By A Correspondent- Zanu PF President Emmerson Mnangagwa has signaled he is boiling to see peace prevailing in South Africa.

Mnangagwa has expressed his wish for the unrest to be resolved as soon as possible to ensure continued stability in the region.

Speaking at Zanu-PF’s 353rd Ordinary session of the Politburo in Harare Wednesday, Mnangagwa said there was a need to ensure peace and stability in South Africa.
“In the case of South Africa, we wish the current challenges facing our brothers and sisters in that country be soon resolved,” he said.

Over 70 people have been killed in violence that followed the imprisonment of Mr Zuma for contempt of court last week.

His jailing sparked wildcat protests in his home province of KwaZulu Natal which then spread to other areas. Roads, including those that link South Africa to Zimbabwe, are currently blocked while truckers are being targeted by the protesters.

To quell the protests, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa deployed the military after the country’s police had been overwhelmed by the violent demonstrators who have burnt and looted shops.

Addressing the media after the Politburo indaba, the party spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo said Foreign Affairs and International Trade Minister Frederick Shava briefed the meeting on the situation in South Africa.

“It was pleasing to note to a larger extent that the situation in South Africa is still within the capacity of our fraternal friends, the African National Congress party and its government, to resolve and hopefully quell the chaos which has been reported in various media platforms.

“We are confident that our colleagues in South Africa will overcome this challenge,” said Khaya Moyo
