Prospects Of SADC Pushing For Fresh Zimbabwe Polls Receding

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) appears to have closed the door on calls for fresh elections in Zimbabwe after the regional bloc’s secretariat, as well as the African Union (AU) endorsed a project being spearheaded by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government.

As reported by NewsDay, the Zimbabwean government is supporting the multi-million-dollar Museum of African Liberation in Harare which is being implemented by the Institute of African Knowledge (INSTAK).

Last week, both SADC and the AU signalled that they will work with Mnangagwa’s government on the project.

On 25 January, Mnangagwa’s special envoy, Simbarashe Mumbengegwi, who is a former foreign affairs minister, was in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to meet the chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat.

Mahamat said the AU Commission was eager to collaborate on the project.

Four days after meeting Mahamat, Mumbengegwi was at the SADC headquarters in Gaborone, Botswana, to discuss a similar memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the bloc’s executive secretary, Elias Magosi.

An official report published on the SADC website after the meeting said:

Magosi highlighted that the project resonates with the region’s objectives, among others, the operationalisation of the mechanism to recognise and honour the founders of SADC for their contribution to the establishment of the organisation and the pursuit of regional integration.

In this regard, further engagements regarding the project and MoU, as well as follow-ups, will be conducted between SADC and INSTAK in collaboration with the Zimbabwean embassy in Botswana.

Collaboration of the project between SADC and Mnangagwa’s administration indicates the bloc has put the Zimbabwe election issue to bed despite the SADC Election Observer Mission (SEOM) saying the elections fell short of meeting regional standards.

Posting on X, journalist and Mnangagwa critic Hopewell Chin’ono said SADC has moved on from Zimbabwe’s “shambolic” elections. He wrote:

Well, SADC is engaged on Zanu PF regime things fellow compatriots. The executive secretary of SADC met with Mnangagwa’s envoy, Simbarashe Mumbengegwi to talk about, wait for it, the Liberation Museum being built in Harare.

Do you still believe the lies that SADC is coming to deal with the shambolic electoral issues?

According to results announced by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), Mnangagwa secured 52.6% of the vote while his main challenger, Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa received 44.03% of the vote.

Chamisa rejected the election results and launched a diplomatic offensive in SADC countries while pushing for fresh polls.

However, Chamisa has since abandoned CCC after losing control of the party to former MDC youth activist Sengezo Tshabangu who has been enjoying the support of State institutions.

methinx theres more of opinion than fact in this article, not withstanding the veracity of the writers perspective. notice that there is no direct quote from SADC officials as regards the article's heading. I have concluded that this is an opinion piece full stop.

CCC didn't participate as presidential candidate. Chamisa did. So he is still a big player. Besides you nin-com-poop, Chamisa by quitting CCC he actually has escalated the political temperature in the eyes of the world. ZANU is now in the spotlight for meddling and impeding opposition activities. watch this space

There were never any prospects of that from the word go, it was just someone's fertile imagination after losing the election. SADC has always made recommendations on how Zim can make improvements in it's elections, it's up to Zim to implement or not. The uneven playing field has been known since the formation of MDC which became the only real challenge to zanupf. SADC has advised the main opposition on several occasions not to participate in the flawed elections but because of greed they have continued to participate. Makes no sense to go back to SADC and complain, they will just say but we told you so. We need more serious challengers than preachers who believe God will provide

These ZANOIDs think the Secretariat is All-powerful. No wonder they idolise their creation, Tshabangu SG Plenipotentiary. SEOM bypasses Secretariat. It is a political creature, overseen by political actors - The SADC Troika and Heads of State. Mumbengegwi was probably sent to gauge the temperature in SADC given the protracted silence regarding 3SEOM Report on Zimbabwe.

Commission that Tongogara had. openly remarked that he saw no reason why he should not be the first President in an independent Zimbabwe through the barrel of the gun. Tongogara appeared to the Commission as a man possessed of inordinate ambitions. The systematic process of eliminating possible rivals by death when the situation was ripe, accounts, too, for such ambitions. And there is also evidence of the power struggle in DARE for a Karanga majority which had been waged since the 1973 Review Conference. 269. It remains for the Commission to add that it condemns and wholly deprecates the fact that such motives should have compelled the assassins to stoop to the killing of Chitepo. CHAPTER 10 RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO MEASURES TO PROTECT PERSONS ENGAGED 1N POLITICAL ACTIVITIES 270. In our fifth and last term of reference, we were asked to: MV. ake recommendations with regard to the measures that ought to be taken for the security of persons engaged in any political activities aimed at the attainment of freedom and independence of Zimbabwe and of any other country in Africa still under colonial or minority rule. 271. A liberation movement should ensure that leaders of each freedom movement permanently work and live in the camps and bases. In this way they can solve problems in the Party before they get out of hand. Leaders of each movement should get the feel of the temperature of the people they are working with as that is finally their own protection. A revolutionary leader should not ask his subordinates to work in conditions under which he himself could not work. 272. The leaders of a liberation movement should always bear in mind that the nature of the guerrilla operations demands precise logistic arrangements in which supplies must always be delivered in time. Any difficulties should be explained to the satisfaction of the cadres in the field, 273. A liberation movement should realise that to win the revolu- tionary struggle, there must be a strong revolutionary organisation composed of men and women with one idea and purpose and whose ideological commitment, unity and cohesion are guaranteed. 274. All the rank and file members of a liberation movement should have trust and sincere love for each other. This mutual and comradely love of all members is vital because it helps the movement to create genuine comradeship. In all the bases and in operational zones the leader- ship must work hard to strengthen and consolidate this revolutionary comradeship. 51
