‘Sadc praise of ED ill-advised’

SOUTHERN Africa Trade Unions Co-ordination Council (SATUCC) president Losi Zingiswa has questioned Sadc leaders’ decision to give President Emmerson Mnangagwa a pat on the back for maintaining peace in the region at a time there is instability and gross human rights abuses in his own backyard.

She was responding to a recent Sadc summit communiqué which commended Mnangagwa for ensuring regional peace during his tenure as chairperson of the bloc’s troika on peace and security.

Zingiswa reminded Sadc leaders that they derived their power from the electorate and therefore should act in the interests of the people and workers.
