Zim: A long way to go

Zimbabwe's coalition government still has many challenges to face.

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

"Our government has full confidence in Mr Mbeki's ability to build on the historic successes already made in the power sharing negotiations under his mediation.

"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.
