THE diplomatic post that is likely to be left vacant following the elevation of Zimbabwe’s Ambassador to South Africa Simon Khaya-Moyo to the Zanu-PF chairmanship will go to someone from within the party.

Speaking at the Zanu PF Youth League induction workshop in Harare yesterday, Khaya-Moyo said the South African diplomatic posting was not a Global Political Agreement issue warranting any negotiations. MDC-T has said it wants to have someone from its party posted to Pretoria.

However, Khaya-Moyo said: "This is a transitional government but we do not have transitional diplomatic posts.

"All the noise about the South African ambassadorial position is useless because ambassadors are appointed by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces.

"The diplomatic posts that were allocated to the MDC formations were enough as they were prescribed in the GPA."

The two MDC formations were already allocated five ambassadorial postings.

Also addressing the same workshop, Vice President John Nkomo said the youth should unite to shame Zimbabwe’s detractors.

"Efforts are there to divide us for regime change purposes but let’s remain united. If you boys and girls sleep out there our heritage will go." - The Herald
