Chairperson, SADC's extraordinary summit held in early November 2008 reconfirms its commitment to finding a solution to the situation in Zimbabwe. It seeks to ensure that the implementation of the September global agreement is expedited, and is also providing practical solutions to the remaining challenges in the allocation of the portfolios or Ministries.
Now the ball is in the court of the leaders of the parties involved in Zimbabwe to take the process forward by going back to Parliament and effecting the necessary legislative changes so that they can implement the agreement.
Hon Meshoe has suggested that this matter should be elevated to the UN. It is not very clear what the UN could do because, really, it is the people of Zimbabwe who should be tasked with ensuring that they resolve their own problems with all the assistance they are getting from SADC for now. I thank you. [Interjections.]
Hon Members, could we please have some quiet. I do not know whether it is just because my left ear is more sensitive than my right one, but most of the noise seems to be emanating from there. Could we please keep the noise level down? [Interjections.] Please hon members, keep the noise level down.
Chairperson, I think your right ear has already been deafened. [Laughter.]
