President Zuma calls on Zimbabwe to implement reforms: waste of breath!

President Zuma called for full implementation of the power-sharing pact widely known as the Global Political Agreement (GPA).

“It is extremely urgent that all matters agreed upon in terms of the GPA are implemented speedily so that adequate preparations are made for a level playing field for the forthcoming elections,” Zuma’s report reads.

Mugabe may have taken four years to “dictate” this Copac constitution because it suited him to drag out the drafting process but when it suits him to accelerate anything, he does. The referendum was done and dusted in four weeks without even bothering to get the constitution to the electorate.

Now that the constitution has been approved, Mugabe will move swiftly to have it enacted so that the GPA can be buried and all calls to implement reforms buried with it!

It is naïve to even think Mugabe will brook implementing reforms now that the new constitution has just been approved. MDC should have had the reforms implemented first before getting the new constitution approved; Tsvangirai was warned but would not listen! President Zuma is just wasting his breath, no reforms will be implemented now.
