Mbeki arrives in Zimbabwe for Mugabe talks

HARARE (AFP) — South African President Thabo Mbeki arrived in Harare on Friday for his first talks with Zimbabwean counterpart Robert Mugabe since the results of a March 29 presidential election were announced.

Mbeki was met at Harare international airport by Mugabe before the pair drove off together to State House, an AFP correspondent reported.

According to results released last Friday, Mugabe lost the first round of the presidential election to opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai but is likely to contest a run-off on a date that has yet to be determined.
