South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki says power-sharing talks in
Zimbabwe are on pause to allow opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai
time to reflect.
There was confusion late on Tuesday over whether
the talks had collapsed, after reports emerged that President
Robert Mugabe had cut a deal with a break-away faction of the
Movement for Democratic Change, which would have excluded
Tsvangirai from power. Tsvangirai's chief negotiator, Tendai Biti,
denied that talks had collapsed, and said they would resume later
on Wednesday. The negotiations between the ruling ZANU-PF and
opposition MDC aim to end Zimbabwe's post-election crisis and deal
with the country's economic catastrophe.
