3. Bishop Nyamakanga to appear in court on Wednsday.
Hotels
1. Monomotapa hotel is dilapidated and is in the middle of the city with no parking.
2. Hyatt Regency Hotel is in the centre of Harare amongst vendors and dilapidated Harare CBD. It belongs to Mnangagwa.
3. The Rainbow hotel is dilapidated and has no parking.
The original plan to accommodate all Presidents at the Rainbow hotel has been rejected. Mnangagwa has secured 20 rooms, when the actual number of rooms required is over 80. This number would cover the delegations, the Presidents and security.
Conclusion:
Two events are likely to happen in the next few weeks:
1. SADC countries will widely boycott Zimbabwe.
2. Most SADC Presidents will not spend a night in Harare due to safety concerns. SADC is at war in tow different countries: DRC and Mozambique and is likely to face.
3. SADC Presidents will be exposed to security threats due to the insecure hotels.
