President Thabo Mbeki has noted the announcement by the Movement of Democratic Change - Tsvangirai (MDC – T) stating its intention to withdraw from the Zimbabwean Presidential election runoff scheduled for Friday, 27 June.
President Mbeki urges both the MDC – T and ZANU-PF to work together in search of a solution to the political challenges in Zimbabwe. Only dialogue between the Zimbabwean political leadership can resolve the political challenges with which our neighbouring country is faced.
