MBEKI LEADS ZIMBABWE CRISIS TALKS!

President Mbeki has been tasked to seek an end to the Zimbabwe crisis. South African President Thabo Mbeki is holding talks with President Robert Mugabe and opposition officials in the Zimbabwe capital, Harare.
All those involved are keeping their cards close to their chests, divulging very little about the South-Africa mediated talks on the Zimbabwe crisis.
Mr Mbeki is stopping off in Harare on his way to the Commonwealth meeting in the Uganda capital, Kampala.
Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has also gone to Kampala.
Mr Mbeki has a mandate from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to seek an end to the Zimbabwe crisis.

The MDC is lobbying Commonwealth leaders.
Mr Tsvangirai, who heads the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), says there has been notable progress.
He said he was confident that the agenda set through the South Africa-led mediation would address the fundamental concerns around elections due next year.
Zimbabwe withdrew from the Commonwealth in 2003 after it was suspended because of allegations of poll rigging.
But Mr Tsvangirai told reporters in Kampala it was important for the body to continue engaging, to ensure Zimbabwe is rescued from its political and economic crisis.
