We exchange notes and a number of things in common between sister parties and also with other sister parties in the region._<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>_What is happening in the ANC is purely an internal matter for the ANC and if there is need for them to let us know and be aware of anything, we shall obviously welcome that, but certainly, that is a purely internal matter._<\/b><\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Moyo told journalists that Zanu-PF would not be sending a delegation to interfere in ANC internal processes adding, however, that president Emmerson Mnangagwa had been briefed by his South African counterpart on the developments.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, MDC Alliance secretary for international relations Gladys Hlatywayo said her party hopes that the ANC leaders would solve their differences amicably citing South Africa\u2019s importance in the region and Zimbabwe in particular. Hlatywayo added:<\/p>\n<p><b>_We believe South Africa is a democracy and has strong institutions that can mediate any internal issues that might arise._<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>_The same applies to the ANC as a political party. It is certainly different from Zanu-PF that meddles in the affairs of State institutions and forces them to parrot their narrow partisan views._<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Power dynamics in South Africa might affect the whole of the SADC region and Zimbabwe in particular considering the former\u2019s influence on both the region and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n<p>Ace Magashule Removed From Virtual ANC NEC Meeting<\/p>\n<p>ANC Responds To Magashule\u2019s Statement<\/p>\n<p>FULL TEXT: Suspended Magashule Suspends Ramaphosa<\/p>\n<p>ANC Suspends Secretary-General Ace Magashule<\/p>\n<p><b>More: Pindula News; NewsDay<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
