[What rubbish! Mbeki is only “keeping his eye” on Zimbabwe because America and Europe are jumping all over his case.
I don’t know who the Admiral was, whether it was Admiral Horatio Nelson or whoever, who during a battle was told about a message on another ship. So the Admiral turned around and put a telescope over his blind eye and said he saw nothing! He ignored the message. Mbeki is like that. Mbeki is pretending, so as to keep his CIA/MI6/Globalist friends happy – to take an active interest in Zimbabwe. So for the ANC its a case of “hurry up and do nothing”. If anything, they will try to SCREW THE MDC OVER and try to make the MDC acquiesce to what Mugabe wants. The ANC will NEVER ask Mugabe to stand down. The ANC is a lazy, dishonest broker who will do NOTHING for peace in Zimbabwe. Jan]

President Thabo Mbeki is keeping a “close personal eye” on the Zimbabwean situation.
Briefing reporters in Cape Town on Tuesday, cabinet spokesperson Themba Maseko said the president also rejected calls for tougher action against Harare, saying South Africa did not agree with the view that “the time for dialogue is past”.
“In fact, the time for dialogue is now more than ever before. All parties need to sit around the table,” Maseko said.
“When you are beginning to experience a loss of life and violence meted out against members of the opposition, it clearly emphasises the need for parties to begin talking.
“We are calling on both sides to show an element of stronger leadership and agree to put their differences aside… to find a peaceful and lasting solution.”
However, one of the ANC’s key allies, the South African Communist Party, on Tuesday expressed concern “about the very weak stance taken by our government in the light of the very serious latest developments in Zimbabwe”. SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande noted that South Africa was celebrating human rights month in the context of a deteriorating rights situation in Zimbabwe.
Speaking after the cabinet’s fortnightly meeting, Maseko said there was no way that South Africa could force the protagonists in Zimbabwe to talk to each other.
He defended Pretoria’s policy of “quiet diplomacy”, saying it had worked in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where parties were eventually prepared to negotiate.
“We think it is possible, even in the Zimbabwean situation, to reach a point in the near future where both parties will be wiling to say ‘the situation is getting out of hand, let’s sit around the table’. And at that point it will be easier for South Africa to provide further support,” Maseko said.
Maseko referred to newspapers reports that Mbeki had met President Robert Mugabe two weeks ago, and said: “We will continue interacting with the government of Zimbabwe and opposition parties.”
There also needed to be extensive consultation with other regional heads of state to try to impress on the Zimbabwean government and opposition parties the need to begin talking to each other.
“We think the best thing to do is to put our energies where we think we will make the biggest difference… getting the parties to sit down is the best intervention.”
He identified the opposition Movement for Democratic Change’s refusal to accept the outcome of the 2006 parliamentary elections in Zimbabwe, which Pretoria had endorsed as free and fair, as part of the problem.
