Abstract

The recent SADC-initiated political deal between Zanu-PF and the two MDC parties, which paved the way for forming an inclusive government in Zimbabwe, has enticed mixed reactions inside and outside the country. The author explores the deal and explains why the umbilical cord between Zimbabwe and southern Africa will remain intact.
