Four Chinese men face deportation from Zimbabwe after they were arrested for killing more than 40 tortoises for meat, a report says.

A dusty road leads to the village of Wedza, where veterans of Zimbabwe's liberation war eke out a meagre living on their farm cooperative, which after a promising start now brings only despair.

Harare - South African President Thabo Mbeki arrived in Harare on Friday for his first talks with Zimbabwean counterpart Robert Mugabe since the results of a March 29 presidential election were announced.

Mbeki was met at Harare international airport by Mugabe before the pair drove off together to State House, an AFP correspondent reported.

According to results released last Friday, Mugabe lost the first round of the presidential election to opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai but is likely to contest a run-off on a date that has yet to be determined.

Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change party is yet to announce whether its leader will take part in the second round. The MDC insists that it won an overall majority in the first round of voting.

The ZEC results showed that Tsvangirai won 47.9% against 43.2% for President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF.

Wouter says... @Christo - Dude, you make me laugh. On your profile you state you hate racism, though here you're jabbering about how we should get rid of the Chinese and Vietnamese (who weren't even mentioned at all) because "they kill our animals". That's stereotypical racism if I've ever heard it. You also apparently hate politics, but you support the DA in the next line. You contrasted yourself twice in three sentences. Congrats! Run for parliament! Read the article...
