Tsvangirai visits Botswana again

Director of Public Relations and Research at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Clifford Maribe confirmed the visit. He said Tsvangirai was here "to brief the government on the ongoing talks in Zimbabwe". The MDC leader was in Botswana for two hours before continuing in his campaign to mobilise diplomatic pressure to force ZANU-PF leader Robert Mugabe to relinquish power.

The visit came some three weeks after the SADC heads of state summit in South Africa where the power-sharing talks collapsed, with Mugabe threatening to form a government without MDC participation.
