Sadc shuts door on Zim’s fresh poll calls

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 endorsed a project being spearheaded by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government.

The African Union also threw its weight behind the multi-million-dollar Museum of African Liberation in Harare after a meeting with Mnangagwa’s special envoy, ambassador Simbarashe Mumbengegwi.

Mnangagwa’s regime is the prime backer of the project that is being implemented by the Institute of African Knowledge (INSTAK).
