SADC endorse Mugabe’s position that Zimbabwe should go for
election skipping the need to implement any democratic reforms Tsvangirai and
MDC had been campaigning for since the 16 March referendum!
"Our position as Sadc is that the Constitution was concluded
and the next step is the election,” said SADC executive secretary, Tomaz
Salamao after the regional grouping’s meeting at the side-line meeting during
the AU meeting.
Some of us warned PM Tsvangirai and the nation at large that rejecting
the Copac constitution in the referendum was the country’s last chance to force
the implementation of the democratic reforms. MDC maintained that they would
get the reforms implemented after the referendum but BEFORE the elections.
Well, SADC’s decision settles this matter once and once for all – there will be
no revisiting reforms now.
Zimbabwe will be holding elections with no reforms implemented; it
is impossible to see how such elections can be free and fair, how they can be
anything other than a repeat of the wanton violence of 2008!

“We updated SADC on the conclusion of the Constitutional reform process and appealed for help with raising funding for the elections. SADC said they would call a meeting to discuss ways of funding the elections,” Mugabe said.
Zimbabwe is one of the richest country in the region and now it is begging from the poor ones all because of mismanagement and corruption!
"Mandela has gone a bit too far in doing good to the non-black communities, really in some cases at the expense of [blacks]," Mugabe said of his former South African counterpart.
