Angolan President Joao Lourenco said he and South African President Jacob Zuma would fly to Zimbabwe on Wednesday following talks between regional leaders on the crisis engulfing the country. “(South African) President Jacob Zuma and I have agreed to visit Harare tomorrow,” Angolan President Joao Lourenco told journalists Tuesday after a meeting of the southern African regional bloc in Luanda. The two leaders will represent the 15-nation Southern African Development Community (SADC) bloc of which their countries are the leading members. The crisis summit “noted with great concern the unfolding political situation in… Zimbabwe”, SADC said in a statement. Ousted vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa also said on Tuesday that he would return to Zimbabwe if his safety was guaranteed.
