Mbeki assures SA Council of Churches on Zimbabwe

President Thabo Mbeki has assured the South African Council of Churches (SACC) that South Africa will do everything possible to find a solution to problems in Zimbabwe.

This follows a letter by the SACC to Mbeki, urging him to restart talks between Zanu (PF), led by Robert Mugabe, the Zimbabwean president, and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change.

Bheki Khumalo, Mbeki's spokesperson, says the president agrees with the churches that there's no substitute to dialogue. The SACC says reports that Mugabe has ruled out the possibility of talks seem to be a grave setback.
