The Sadc Extraordinary Summit has started at the Joaquim Chissano Convention Centre here.  The agenda centres on reviewing the peace and security situation in the region with specific reference to Madagascar and the DRC as well as coordinating election funds for Zimbabwe.Sources privy to the developments say Sadc leaders were receptive of political developments in Zimbabwe.

All the GPA leaders are here with a meeting of minds between President Mugabe and Deputy Prime Minister Professor Arthur Mutambara while Prime Minister Mr Morgan Tsvangirai is in a last ditch bid to delay elections with his civil society allies from the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition lending support.

Sources say Sadc’s position is that the Constitutional Court ruling was inviolable and elections should proceed as planned.
