The targeting of my Office is reprehensible and is meant to harass and intimidate the nation ahead of the election, now that we are done with the referendum. Prime Minister Tsvangirai said Monday while addressing journalists on the arrest of officials from his communications office on Sunday.

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has urged SADC to consider convening a full SADC Summit after the holding of the referendum to focus on Zimbabwe and help to cement a roadmap to free, fair and credible elections.

Zimbabweans are determining their own destiny in today’s referendum as the country moves towards constitutionalism.

Speaking after casting his vote at Chaminuka Primary School, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said; “What is significant is that the people of Zimbabwe are not outsourcing their destiny to somebody else. We have defined this for ourselves and I hope it sets in a new political dispensation; from the culture of impunity to constitutionalism,” he said.

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has said accreditation of international observers is not the mandate of a political party but the role of the inclusive Government.

Speaking to journalists after Tuesday Principals meeting, the Premier, who is spokesperson of the Principals in the inclusive Government said discussions on the accreditation of international observers were still going on.

The timing of elections is not a unilateral decision but will be agreed between the Principals at the appropriate time. At present, the Principals are ensuring the environment is conducive to the holding of a free, credible and legitimate election.

The political and legal processes, including the alignment of laws to the new Constitution, will determine the actual date for the elections, Prime Minister said Tuesday.
