“We (CISOMM) made a formal request to the SADC secretariat for us to make our presentations but we never got a response,” said Irene Petras, Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) executive director. ZLHR is a member of CISOMM. She added: “We were surprised to hear that SADC said it knew what we were going to say. Basically, we wanted to talk about the issues that relate to the Agreement that affect us. For example we have become targets because the Agreement is not working. We wanted to discuss issues of security with the SADC ministerial team.”Petras said the National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations and the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition had made the request on behalf of civic society. “If the (SADC) team met Joint Monitoring and Implementation Committee (Jomic) then there is no reason why it could not meet us.” Besides meeting Jomic members, President Mugabe and Prime Minister Tsvangirai, the SADC team met SADC diplomats accredited to Zimbabwe, as well as ZANU PF and MDC parties. On Friday, Mozambican Foreign Affairs Minister Oldemiro Baloi, who was heading the SADC Troika ministerial team, told journalists that SADC had not received any request from civil society to meet the fact finding mission team.“I am not aware of any request from the civil society to meet us. In any case, we have many stakeholders, this time we came with very short time. We tried to focus mainly on the signatories to the Agreement. Of course, the civil society wants peace, economic stability and political stability. The implementation of the Agreement is far from meeting those demands,” Baloi said.
