Khama blames Zanu PF for deadlock

By Never Kadungure

Botswana President Ian Khama has blamed Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF party for the political deadlock in Zimbabwe.

Making his state of the union address to Botswana on Friday Khama voiced concern at the “continued failure of ZANU-PF to fully honor the GPA.”

Khama argued that “in the absence of genuine partnership, it would be better for all parties to go back to the people, for they are the ultimate authority to determine who should form the government of Zimbabwe.”

“There can be no substitution for free, fair and credible elections, where people in any country should be allowed to elect representatives of their choice, and not have them imposed on them through rigged elections, brutalizing opponents, military interventions, constitutional amendments to stay longer in power, and one man rule that goes on for decades.”
