Asked if the Government was sceptical about success in the matter, the PMS repeated that the Government welcomed the initiative and thought President Mbeki was making good progress.
Asked to give an idea of what the initiative was, the PMS replied that it was about moving Zimbabwe to a situation where there could be a return to proper democracy. Asked if this was based on brokering a deal between Zanu PF and the MDC, the PMS replied that it did.
