Mugabe, Mnangagwa talks at risk

Former president Robert Mugabe has snubbed the mediation team led by Mukonori, which is frantically trying to get him to close ranks with his successor, President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

The two politicians, who became estranged after Mnangagwa was dismissed from Zanu PF and government last back nearly two weeks later t wrest power from Mugabe, had been scheduled to meet in order to iron out their difference.

The negotiating team comprise Mukonori and Jimayi Muduvuri - a senior Zanu PF official who doubles up as patron of the Zimbabwe Amalgamated Churches. Contacted for comment yesterday, Mukonori could only say "there is nothing for now, if there is anything we will let you now, if there is anything we will let you know".
