MDC ministers today did not meet with Zanu PF ministers for the weekly meetings in Cabinet after the party’s National Executive resolved to disengage with Zanu PF pending the resolution of all the outstanding issues.

Any purported Cabinet decision made by the Zanu PF caucus in the absence of
all the three political parties is null and void.

The MDC ministers held a meeting at the party headquarters while Zanu PF
ministers held a Zanu PF minister caucus meeting elsewhere.

The MDC last week resolved to disengage from Zanu PF. The party will not
attend meetings such as Cabinet and the Council of Ministers but will
continue, as the trustees of the people’s mandate, to work towards bringing
real change to the people of Zimbabwe.

At their meeting at today, MDC ministers deliberated on various issues
affecting the people such as the issue of inputs ahead of the agricultural
season, media reforms and the stalled Constitution-making process, among
others.

Meanwhile, President Morgan Tsvangirai is in the region explaining the MDC’s
decision to disengage which has been well appreciated by the people of
Zimbabwe who want real change by having all the outstanding issues resolved.

The matter of the outstanding issues is now before SADC and the African
Union as the guarantors of the GPA to help resolve the crisis.

The people of Zimbabwe want real change. They want to see meaningful reforms
that can kick-start the economy and open a new patch of development,
freedom, hope and security.
