Johannesburg - President Thabo Mbeki had telephoned Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe after the detention and torture of Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) president Morgan Tsangarai, the Sunday Times reported.

The newspaper reported that a senior government official had confirmed that Mbeki had made the call, but did not say when and what was discussed.

On Friday, Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka met Zimbabwean vice-president Joyce Mujuru in Johannesburg, while senior government members held talks with the secretaries-general of Zimbabwe's divided MDC.

The MDC planned to defy Zimbabwean government's continuing ban on public protests on Sunday, the report said.
