Zimbabwe peace talks 'to begin this week'
09/07/2008 - 16:05:09

A lawyer for the Zimbabwean opposition’s top negotiator says talks with President Robert Mugabe’s party are to begin this week.

Lawyer Lewis Uriri had asked today for the return of the opposition’s number two party official’s passport and explained that Tendai Biti needed it to go to neighbouring South Africa for the talks.

A judge ordered the passport returned. Mr Biti had had to surrender it after being charged with treason.
