The last resolution confirms Movement of Democratic Change's Welshman Ncube as the third principal in the country in addition to President Robert Mugabe of Zanu PF and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai of MDC-T.
MDC Secretary-General Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga said the decision finally put to rest the question of the leadership of the MDC within the context of Sadc.
She said the resolution meant that Zuma as the facilitator and the Troika would no longer have to deal with Mutambara.
"It also means Mutambara will never again be invited or allowed to attend any Sadc meetings on his own unless he attends as part of the Zanu PF considering that President Mugabe's spirited but ultimately failed defence of the position of Mutambara as a Principal," she wrote on her Facebook page. "The Summit would have none of it."
Mutambara reportedly attacked Zuma during the Troika meeting, accusing him of sidelining him when the facilitator visited Harare on Wednesday, seeking a progress report on political developments in the country.
