Zanu PF in major climbdown

SOUTH African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s emissaries yesterday held a closed-door meeting with Zanu PF officials and later indicated that they would be back in the country “in a month” to engage other stakeholders in Zimbabwe’s multi-faceted crisis, including the United States envoy.

The six-member team, led by African National Congress (ANC) secretary-general Ace Magashule, made the commitment after what it said “was a frank discussion” on the Zimbabwean crisis.
Zanu PF has, however, insisted that the country is not in a crisis, and last month barred the ANC envoys from meeting other stakeholders.
