President Robert Mugabe today sought to heal a rift with regional leaders who have helped protect him from outside criticism but recently joined in a chorus calling for an end to political violence in Zimbabwe. The Southern African Development Community has been criticised for being too soft on Mugabe but the tone of its leaders has been stiffening as tension rises ahead of possible Zimbabwean elections this year. Mugabe’s spokesman George Charamba said the quarrel was over minor points, climbing down from previous statements where his government attacked the regional leaders and told them not to butt into Zimbabwe’s internal affairs.
