“SOME PROGRESS” ON ZIM LAND ISSUE

MALAWIAN President Bakili Muluzi, who along with South African leader Thabo Mbeki was appointed to mediate between Britain and Zimbabwe on the latter’s land dispute, says “some progress” has been made. A Southern African Develpment Community (SADC) summit in August asked the presidents of South Africa and Malawi to make representations to the British government on funding the land reform. Muluzi said they had chosen not to discuss the issue in the media, but take a “diplomatic dialogue”. – AFP
