Lindiwe Zulu, Jacob Zuma's international relations advisor and spokesperson of the facilitation team confirmed that Zuma's facilitation team is expected in Zimbabwe today to work on the election roadmap and assess conditions in the country ahead of the Sadc summit in Angola next month.
The SA team in reported to have said they wanted to get as much information as possible on behalf of Zuma, who is the Sadc-appointed facilitator in Zimbabwe's political crisis.
The facilitation team would also meet the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to gauge the country and the electoral body's readiness to conduct credible elections.
Zuma's team will meet the Joint Monitoring and Implementation Committee (Jomic) over the implementation of the GPA. The team would also have bilateral meetings with the three political parties in the coalition government among other stakeholders.
Zulu said although the facilitation team was scheduled to meet representatives of the political parties, who may not necessarily be negotiators, her team would also meet the negotiators to discuss the time frames for the election roadmap.
Lindiwe Zulu has infuriated Professor Jonathan Moyo, which resulted in Moyo writting an opinion piece titled "Why has Lindiwe Zulu become a recklessly willing friend of Zanu-PF's enemies".
Moyo says Lindiwe Zulu has become an anti-Zanu-PF spokesperson which she has clearly become through the pro regime change media that now routinely use her as their reckless mouthpiece.
In the article, Moyo asks why has Lindiwe Zulu taken it upon herself to respond to decisions of the Zanu-PF Politburo and through the oppositional media which is funded by the UK, US and EU to effect illegal regime change in Zimbabwe? Why has Lindiwe Zulu become such a recklessly willing friend of Zanu-PF's enemies who is always available to comment negatively after every Zanu-PF Politburo meeting but never does the same after any MDC meeting?
