Harare, - Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) chairman, Joseph Kabila, is in Zimbabwe for talks with the country’s political leaders.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) president’s visit comes just a day after the visit of the SADC ministerial task-force country to evaluate the country’s unity government. An official at the Ministry of Information confirmed that Kabila arrived on Sunday evening from South Africa.
“He is in the country on a state visit,” said the official.
Kabila is expected to hold talks with both President Mugabe and Prime Minister Tsvangirai on the on-going political impasse which saw Tsvangirai’s MDC partially pulling out of the inclusive government.
Tsvangirai accuses Mugabe and his party of refusing to implement the political agreement signed last year in full.
The head of the ministerial task-force, Olderio Baloi, told Radio VOP that the SADC troika will recommend to the SADC heads of states that a summit on Zimbabwe be convened within the next 14 days most likely in Maputo, Mozambique.

"We are going to do our best to convene a summit of the troika as soon as possible," said Baloi. "There are serious problems and we can not hide that, we still consulting the heads of states who have heavy agendas but trust  me the summit will be there very soon and very very soon almost immediately."
The SADC Troika review mission came to Zimbabwe last Wednesday following Tsvangirai’s decision two weeks ago to partially disengage his MDC party from the coalition government.
