Replies: 0 Last poster: Mugadza at 13-05-2008 12:48 Topic is Open President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa visited Zimbabwe yesterday to meet his counterpart Robert Mugabe and held undisclosed meeting while snubbing the winning MDC party. President Mbeki was in Zimbabwe following the political stalemate between Morgan Tsvangirai and Robert Mugabe. The two presidents reportedly held closed door meetings at state for more than three hours before President Mbeki proceeded to the South African embassy. President Mbeki later met Mugabe before returning to South Africa without disclosing the agenda of the meeting to reporters. Following President Mbeki’s failure to mediate between Zanu PF and the winning MDC Tsvangirai formation, MDC has called for Mbeki to be relieved off his duties as mediator and appoint someone who can really solve the Zimbabwean impasse. Speaking in Johannesburg South Africa, Tsvangirai’s spokesperson George Sibotshiwe said no one from the MDC would be meeting Mbeki in Harare and he indicated their party had requested SADC and the AU to appoint a permanent envoy to deal with the crisis. ‘I think what the country needs now is an envoy whose job will be to go through this mediation thoroughly on a day to day basis. As you are aware, President Mbeki does this mediation on a part-time basis as he’s a Head of State,’ Sibotshiwe said. Sibotshiwe also said the winning MDC party had lost in President Thabo Mbeki’s role ...

As I write this, Zimbabwe is on the verge of a political miracle. All signs are that Mugabe will be democraticaly ousted as president after 28 years in power. Thabo Mbeki, as a neighbouring president who could actually do somehting about the regime, has recieved much criticism for his "quiet" approach to Mugabe. I now wonder if Mbeki may actually have been right? In reading his biography ( A Dream Deferred ), Mark Gevisser outlines again and again how Mbeki is ardently in favour of conversation being the primary force of change, not militant force. In particular, Mbeki was sidelined through the early 90s for this approach as a negotiated settlement was being established between the apartheid governmnet and the ANC. It turns out that through almost every engagement Mbeki was involved in, talking proved to be the right solution and resulted in the desired outcome. Of late, Mbeki has intimated that a change is coming in Zimbabwe. When I consider what a miracle it will be for a change of power to occur peacefuly and democrticaly, I wonder what the alternative of forcing a regime change in Zimbabwe would have resulted in. No doubt, if this was Mbeki's approach, we'd be at war. Now, thanks to quiet diplomacy, we stand on the verge of a democratic miracle. However, the events bound to unfold over the next few days may prove me wrong. ...
