Zimbabwe to resume crisis talks

South African President Thabo Mbeki said crisis talks between Zimbabwe\'s government and the opposition will resume on Sunday.



He was speaking after meeting Zimbabwe\'s President Robert Mugabe, who has said he wants the talks to succeed.



Mr. Mbeki\'s visit followed the halt last week of crisis talks between the ruling and opposition parties.



Negotiators are reportedly working hard and have committed themselves to a time frame.



The negotiations began last week, after Mr. Mugabe and Mr. Tsvangirai met for the first time in a decade.



The opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) has accused Mr. Mugabe of stealing the election earlier this year.
