Tens of thousands of Zimbabwean immigrants residing in that country took advantage of the amnesty to get proper documentation, but thousand were left in the cold again.It is feared that deportation may start anytime, now that the amnesty period has come and gone. Politics at home is not promising despite the fact that the country has seen some stability in the past two years, thanks to the govt of national unity. This fragile government of national Unity was signed by Prime minister Morgan Tsvangirai, deputy minister Arthur Mutambara, and President Robert Mugabe representimg their different parties.
The past year saw the change in political landscape with the rebirth of Zapu and the emerging Mtwakazi voices calling for a separate state altogether. Welshmen Ncube's MDC rebranded itself, with Ncube himself being a serious Presidential candidant. This new developments saw Mutambara political hopes come to a sudden halt despite being a signitory of the September 15 unity agreement that is going to expire soon!
Its still not known when elections will be held. Political parties have been throwing blows at each other about this issue. Sadac moderators have been accused of taking sides, and not to mention that relations have almost gone sour in the process throwing the negotiations completely off balance.
