Pretoria - The South African government on Monday congratulated the leadership of Zanu-PF and the two MDC parties for signing an agreement to facilitate talks to resolve the Zimbabwean crisis.

"We reiterate our view that the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding is a significant and major step forward in the process of dialogue among the Zimbabwean political parties as facilitated by President Thabo Mbeki in his capacity as SADC facilitator."
