Johannesburg - The Troika security organ of the SADC would continue to meet with the leaders of Zimbabwe to find a "speedy resolution" to the political situation in the country, President Thabo Mbeki said on Sunday.
In his closing address of the SADC Summit, he said the council had been meeting with the rival leaders in Zimbabwe and would continue on Sunday even after the Summit had been officially closed.
"The [Troika] continues to engage with this matter and indeed after we have formally closed the organ will convene again, it is an indication of the seriousness with which the SADC approaches this question."
"A speedy conclusion [needs to be reached] so that it indeed become possible to address the enormous challenges that face the masses of the people of Zimbabwe," said Mbeki.
