South Africa President Jacob Zuma has reportedly assured Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai that he would do everything he can as facilitator to the Zimbabwe crisis to pressure President Mugabe to implement electoral and other reforms agreed to by partners in the inclusive government.

Tsvangirai's spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka said South African leader took a tough stance against President Mugabe during a closed-door meeting with the MDC-T president on Sunday in Pretoria.

Zuma is due in Harare after meeting PM Morgan Tsvangirai on Sunday night, where the latter pushed for the convening of a mini-regional summit to speed up all outstanding reforms ahead of a crucial election.

Tsvangirai met Zuma before proceeding to Dar es Sallam, Tanzania to meet Sadc Troika chair Jakaya Kikwete last night.
