In limbo EU envoys to be accredited

Several European envoys, holed up in Zimbabwe without accreditation for the past six months, are now expected to be accredited today.

Some ambassadors, among them from Sweden and Germany, have been in the country for over half a year without accreditation, hence, failing to do their work as President Robert Mugabe was reportedly busy with other matters.

There were claims Mugabe was deliberately being swamped with work, as part of a plot to embarrass Foreign Affairs minister Simbarashe Mumbengegwi, but Foreign Affairs secretary Joey Bimha described this as “far-fetched.”
