Mbeki misinformed Bush about Zim, says MDC
Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai on Wednesday accused President Thabo Mbeki of misrepresenting Zimbabwe to US President George Bush while the Zanu-PF hailed Mbeki as an exemplary leader.

Tsvangirai accused Mbeki of making "false and mischievous" statements to Bush saying that no talks were taking place in Zimbabwe between the ruling party and MDC.

According to Associated Press, the opposition leader said Mbeki's statement to Bush that a dialogue had begun was "without foundation whatsoever."

1. Tsvangirai: Mbeki lied to Bush
Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai accused South African President Thabo Mbeki on Wednesday of making "false and mischievous" statements on political talks.

Tsvangirai said that no talks were taking place and that Mbeki's statement to United States President George W Bush that a dialogue had begun was "without foundation whatsoever".

2. DA accuses Mbeki of distortion, doublespeak
President Thabo Mbeki's criticism of the market economy in The Guardian newspaper undermines South Africa's credibility, the Democratic Alliance said on Wednesday.

DA finance spokesperson Raenette Taljaard said in a statement it was incomprehensible that Mbeki should do this on the same day that he meets with United States President George Bush.

In an article in The Guardian newspaper Mbeki said the means to ensure human survival was privately owned.

In this sense the market dictated the rules that human society set itself, he stated.

"This neoliberal-conservative economic paradigm represents the political expression of the rules of 'the market'. Consistent with the logic of the market, it emphasises the 'private', as opposed to the 'public'; the individual, as opposed to the collective; the individual versus the state," Mbeki said.

Taljaard said the article was highly problematic.
