Johannesburg — SA WOULD not appeal to the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) to send a fact- finding mission to Zimbabwe and would not impose a blanket arms embargo on its neighbour in the wake of current developments, President Jacob Zuma said in a written reply to a parliamentary question yesterday.

Zuma said in response to a question by Democratic Alliance parliamentary leader Athol Trollip that the issue had already been dealt with at the Sadc summit last month.

Also, he had already called on all parties in Zimbabwe to work together to remove any remaining obstacles to the implementation of the agreement to establish a unity government. He stressed that SA was willing to work with its Sadc counterparts to assist Zimbabwe's unity government to resolve outstanding issues.
