SAfrica's Mbeki rejects EU demand on Zimbabwe govt
JOHANNESBURG: South African President Thabo Mbeki on Wednesday rejected an EU position that it will only accept a Zimbabwean government led by opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai.
"The result that comes out of that process of dialogue must be a result that is agreed by the Zimbabweans," said Mbeki on SA FM radio after an African Union summit in Egypt attended by Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.
"And certainly, the African continent has not made any prescriptions about the outcomes of what Zimbabweans must negotiate among themselves."
