12/04/2008 11:04 - (SA)
Harare - South African President Thabo Mbeki will hold talks Saturday with President Robert Mugabe in Harare before heading on to Lusaka for a summit on Zimbabwe's post-election crisis, an official said.
Mbeki was expected to arrive in Harare at 10:30 am for talks with Mugabe at State House ahead of a summit of southern African leaders in the Zambian capital, a Zimbabwean government official told AFP.
Mugabe has chosen not to attend the gathering of the 14-nation Southern African Development Community (SADC) and has instead sent a delegation of ministers.
His rival Morgan Tsvangirai will be in Lusaka, where he will press his claim to have won the March 29 presidential election and try and win support for pressure to be put on Mugabe to stand down.
