Pretoria - President Kgalema Motlanthe fully supports Thabo Mbeki's role as SADC mediator in the Zimbabwean dialogue, he said in a statement on Thursday.

"Mr Mbeki's facilitation efforts in Zimbabwe have proven his dispassionate vision for a lasting political solution to the challenges facing Zimbabwe," Motlanthe said.
He had informed SADC's executive secretary Dr Tomaz Augusto of the government's support.
