SADC chairman President Mugabe arrived in South Africa yesterday to attend the regional bloc's double Troika meeting where leaders are expected to deliberate on the impending elections in Lesotho.
President Mugabe touched down at Waterkloof Airbase in Pretoria yesterday evening.
He is being accompanied by Foreign Affairs Minister Simbarashe Mumbengegwi and Defence Minister Sydney Sekeramayi.
Other countries that are expected to attend the meeting are South Africa and Botswana who form part of the Troika.
The polls in Lesotho will be held next Saturday, more than two years earlier than scheduled in a bid to restore stability following a coup attempt last August.
