The summit to be attended by the SADC Troika on Security Policy will discuss the situation in Zimbabwe which has deteriorated after the Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has decided to suspend cooperation with the party of President Robert Mugabe.

This decision, taken more than two weeks ago, is threatening the functioning of the Unity government signed by both parties in 2009 to end political violence and rebuild the wrecked economy.

"They agreed to hold a meeting in Maputo on Thursday, but we still do not know any details about the meeting," Mozambique Foreign Ministry spokesperson Yunassy Muchanga told the station.

James Maridadi, spokesman for the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, confirmed the involvement of Morgan Tsvangirai in the Maputo meeting.

"The Prime Minister will be in Maputo on Thursday to attend the conference on the power sharing agreement ," he said.

Last month, Mozambican President Armando Guebuza received the first vice minister of Zimbabwe Thokozani Khupe who called for "help" to "resolve certain differences in that country."

The request was made days prior to the SADC annual summit held last month in Windhoek, Namibia.
