Representatives of Zimbabwe\'s ruling and opposition parties have begun power-sharing talks in South Africa.



The talks reportedly began after the arrival of the four main negotiators from Zimbabwe\'s capital, Harare.



President Robert Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Monday, paving the way for the talks.



The talks, which are intended to end a crisis following disputed presidential polls, are scheduled to last two weeks.



The structure and composition of a new government has not been decided.
