De Lille questions cancelled Zimbabwe meeting

Independent Democrats (ID) leader Patricia de Lille has called on National Assembly Foreign Affairs Committee chair Job Sithole to provide reasons for the sudden cancellation of a scheduled meeting on Zimbabwe.

She says the cancellation of tomorrow's meeting, at which the committee was to be briefed on the crisis in Zimbabwe by both the MDC and Zanu-PF, is "highly suspicious." She says it is absolutely crucial that a solution be found to the Zimbabwean election impasse.

De Lille says she intends to investigate whether the executive has interfered in the workings of Parliament.
