Mbeki contacts Mugabe SA chides foreign govts on Zim 'Only Africans can speak on Zim' Aus pressures SA over Mugabe Aus pressures SA over Mugabe AU has failed on Zim - Amnesty 'Mbeki kneels before Mugabe'

Johannesburg - The Democratic Alliance urged the South African government on Sunday to disclose what it had told Zimbabwean leaders in recent talks.

"It would be far more reassuring if our country was advised what our representatives told their Zimbabwean counterparts," said the party's spokesperson on foreign affairs Douglas Gibson.

He said it was "encouraging" that President Thabo Mbeki and deputy president Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka had been in contact with Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and vice-president Joyce Mujuru.

While only Zimbabweans could solve their problems, the "quiet diplomacy" pursued by South Africa and other countries was not helping as Mugabe considered this "silent acquiescence", said Gibson.
