President Jacob Zuma has called on the fighting parties in Madagascar to show commitment to a peaceful solution.
This was Zuma’s first Southern African Development Community Summit where he opened the special regional discussions in Sandton and said that Madagascar’s neighbours should use their experience and collective wisdom to find a fair and equitable solution on the island that suffered a coup last March.
Zuma has to decide whether to allow deposed Madagascan President Marc Ravalomanan to address the heads of state and foreign ministers of the 15 nation grouping.
Zuma commented that he regrets the current political and security situation on the Indian Ocean island where Andry Rajoelina seized power with limited military backing three months ago.
The special summit will hear the report of a special SADC envoy to Madagascar and discuss the possibility of elections to restore democracy and constitutionality.
