MDC has lost faith in Mbeki’s mediation role

The head of the MDC’s women’s assembly, Theresa Makone, on Thursday said her party had lost ‘total faith’ in Thabo Mbeki’s mediation efforts to resolve the crisis in Zimbabwe. ‘Although we hold him in high esteem, we have felt as a party that he has not treated us fairly to what he does to Robert Mugabe and his party,’ Makone said. The women’s assembly chairperson said what bothers the MDC is that when ever they raise an issue of concern with Mbeki, he never responds.
