The Democratic Alliance (DA) has called on President Robert Mugabe to immediately resign amid the political turmoil in Zimbabwe.
Spokesperson for DA leader Mmusi Maimane, Portia Adams says, “We therefore call for fresh elections to be held in Zimbabwe as soon as practically possible, and for Robert Mugabe to immediately resign as President of Zimbabwe.”
Adams says this will allow the people of Zimbabwe to choose a new direction for their country.
In addition, she calls on the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane to provide the country with an urgent briefing on the nature and extent of the crisis in Zimbabwe, including what action our government will take.
“We must engage with the goal of finding a solution which does not open the door for another dictator to take the reins,” says Adams.
