Why Zuma might ditch Zimbabwe

President Zuma is frantically trying to get a solution to the Zimbabwe problem but last year his team was reported to be so frustrated that sources said they might advise Zuma to pull out. The sources said the ANC was offering solutions to the main faction of the MDC led by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai but the party has been reluctant to take that advice. “The ANC is frustrated.
