Jimmy Carter and KK for Zimbabwe

Words are out that on the behalf of the South African President Jacob Zuma, the principal mediator representing SADC, envoys arrived in Zimbabwe to patch up a way forward.

All bluff making it as if something is being done, but in reality nothing is happening! Neither is the Southern Africa regional bloc’s strategy of appointing seating heads of states as mediators seems to be working nor its approach of focusing on unity government.

My proposal to the stalemate in Zimbabwe:   Jimmy Carter and Kennedy Kaunda as mediators?
