Swaziland's King Mswati III has said that things are going well in Zimbabwe and the Southern African Development Community has received no complaints, so it will not intervene in any way.
Mswati was speaking at the end of an extraordinary summit of SADC in Johannesburg over the weekend, which had been called to discuss the crisis in Madagascar. Before the summit, SADC's executive secretary Tomaz Salomao had said that Zimbabwe might be discussed. This was because Prime Minister Tsvangirai and Deputy Prime Minister Mutambara had some time ago written to Jacob Zuma, as SADC chairman, expressing concern over Mugabe's delays in implementing various aspects of the power share.
But Mswati reiterated that there was no discussion about Zimbabwe and went on to say that he had been in the country and that it was moving on the 'right track'.
He was questioned by a journalist about the almost daily reports of people being arrested and harassed in Zimbabwe - to which the Swazi king replied that 'nothing official' had been brought to SADC's attention, so there was no need to discuss it.

Zungairwa;
Simply because you were a mercenary in our country does not make you knowledgeable about Zimbabwe. You now want to be one of the SADC leaders such that you wanted the agenda of the Summit to include a discussion on armed robbers who are robbing Ministers and other Zimbabweans of their hard earned money and possessions?
The fact that no party in the inclusive government has officially complained to SADC, of anything including what you said, is proof enough that things are going on well - and His Majesty The King is 100% right. Ask any Zimbabwean and they will tell you that what we have achieved in the short time that we have united has not been achieved anywhere in the world.
SADC leaders cannot be seen to discuss the issue of former colonizers; invaders of our land, who are flouting the laws of Zimbabwe by refusing to vacate designated lands. That is not the business of regional leaders. Those you say are going to the SADC Tribunal are like you, and you together with them are just bitter that you lost the ill-gotten land which you did not pay for but was given to you because of the color of your skin and in the case of you, Zungairwa because you did not hesitate to kill, for the illegal and racist regime of Ian Smith, innocent men, women and children, and missionaries during the war of liberation.
Such people as you can go wherever you want and can even pray for the death of ALL BLACK ZIMBABWEANS but your prayers will never be heard - Minamato yakadaro ihuruva yenyika (such prayers are earthly dust). Such prayers are of Satan, by Satan and for Satan and will never be answered by GOD ALMIGHTY.
Tacky, you didnt answer my question, still think that the CIA invented homosexuality? PS "The fact that no party in the inclusive government has officially complained to SADC, of anything including what you said, is proof enough that things are going on well "
Nonsense... if a rape victom doesnt report a rape, it doesnt change the fact she was raped...
Awt;
It does "change the fact..." because she was NOT raped. There is no doubt that a rape victim will report rape be it to a sister, aunt, mother or the police, she will definitely report the RAPE. Not reporting means there was agreement between the two; it means she consented to having sex with man. PERIOD!!
Being this "Christian Pastor" you do show a lack of integretty and love. How many did you say belong to your coven? Oh yes just you and the cows you stole from my brothers farm. You are a rapist yourself, cause you have raped and pillaged our country for the last 30 years. And that wasn't consensual.
The rantings and ravings of the poor foolish deluded IDIOT. Takunya is just that. Tell me , when are you going to be extradited back to Rwanda to stand trial for your genocidal massacares? I'll even donate money towards your air ticket.
What would Mswati-u-want know about things going well. Oh yes that's right he saw things were going well for Bob and saw plenty of food on Bob's plate. What he didn't see was the want and destruction of the once vibrant sound economy of Zimbabwe only 2nd to South Africa. This tyrrant king keeps his own people in abject poverty whilst he flounces around with his many wives buying them houses and cars with the money he is meant to use for the sake of the country of Swaziland.He says they have received any complaints, then why everyday ordinary Zimbabweans are shouting for assistance with law and order, what about the farmers going to the regional court in Namibia. No complaints eh, Sadc is right up Bob's backside totally in the dark.
