Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Walter Mzembi has saluted Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema for keeping the details of his meeting on the Zimbabwean crisis under wraps. Hichilema yesterday chaired a Southern African Development Community SADC Troika meeting which deliberated on a number of issues among them the regional body’s election observer mission report.
Meanwhile, Hichilema has kept the outcome of the meeting a secret.
“No-one has a hint of what transpired in the SADC Troika yesterday. It should remain that way to allow due process.
“Social media speculation is not helpful, because it throws everyone in the pigsty.
“No need for propaganda overdrive Hichilema has been deeply diplomatic
Let’s give peace a chance,” says Mzembi.
Posting on his X handle after the meeting, Hichilema said:
“Presided over a virtual conference for the #SADC Organ on Politics, Defence & Security.
Discussed security challenges in Eastern DRC & ongoing establishment of SADC Mission in DRC (SAMIDRC).
It was good to get updates on previous & upcoming elections in our region.”
Meanwhile, Mzembi says such diplomacy should be commended, so as not to jeopardize any processes that would take place.
