CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) - Representatives of Zimbabwe's government and the country's main opposition party were holding talks in a bid to ease the political crisis that reached new heights earlier this year with the arrest and beating of pro-democracy leaders.
Officials on Monday confirmed that the talks — held under South African mediation — started over the weekend in the South African capital Pretoria and were continuing, but they refused to give any details.
"All we can confirm at this stage is that there are talks," said George Sibotshiwe, a South Africa-based spokesman for Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change.
