Former South African President Thabo Mbeki today said statements attributed to him about Zimbabwe’s election and land reform policy were “mischievous”. They were intended to “communicate falsehoods to achieve particular political outcomes”, Mbeki’s spokesman Mukoni Ratshitanga said. “With regard to Zimbabwe’s land reform process, former president Mbeki said that though SADC agreed with the Zimbabwean government about the imperative for land reform, it did not agree with the manner in which the process was carried out. He added that this agreement notwithstanding, the land reform process in Zimbabwe has proved successful.”
