THERE has been relatively little news from Zimbabwe in the past two or three months but the country's future was at the top of the agenda of the meeting of the 15-country Southern African Development Community (SADC) earlier this week. The headlines from the meeting were of a call for the lifting of sanctions against Zimbabwe, interpreted as a victory for President Mugabe. But the small print of reports shows a rather different story. SADC played a leading role in setting-up the power-sharing government which theoretically runs Zimbabwe today but it is dissatisfied with the progress being made by Mugabe and his prime minister, the opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai. South Africa is the current chairman of SADC and a statement by the country's Deputy President, Kgalema Motlanthe, included a warning to Zimbabwe that it will not get a second chance to pull itself out of the morass it finds itself in.
