The South African president,
Thabo Mbeki, has held talks in
Harare in an attempt to
resolve the crisis over
Zimbabwe's disputed
presidential election. South
African officials say Mr Mbeki
is concerned about violence
ahead of a run-off election --
but a spokesman for the
opposition MDC party, Hebson
Makuvise, said the visit would
have few results. Human rights
groups have reported a
dramatic escalation of
organised violence and torture
since the beginning of this
month.
