Mbeki's letter angers Tsvangirai

Former South African President, Thabo Mbeki, wrote a letter to Zimbabwe's Movement for Democratic Change party that may slow talks to end the country's political impasse, Business Day said, citing the letter. Mbeki, tasked by Southern African Development Community with mediating in Zimbabwe's dispute, told the MDC in the letter that it shouldn't' express contempt for the decisions of neighboring countries, the Johannesburg-based newspaper said. He added that the MDC is more influenced in its policies by the west.
