Botswana could offer Tsvangirai sanctuary

Foreign Minister, Phandu Skelemani also told BBC World News that regional powers  must admit they had failed to resolve the deadlock between Tsvangirai and President Robert Mugabe and should now bring economic pressure to bear.

Asked whether Botswana would offer Tsvangirai sanctuary if power-sharing talks collapse, Skelemani said: "Anybody who comes to Botswana saying that they fear for their life, from their own country, we will not chase them away".
