Zimbabwe's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, has rejected the African Union call for a government of national unity. And as VOA's Delia Robertson reports from our southern Africa bureau in Johannesburg, Tsvangirai says he wants no part of a mediation led only by South African President Thabo Mbeki.
Morgan Tsvangirai says in calling for a government of national unity in Zimbabwe, the African Union failed to take into consideration the findings of three African observer groups who said last week's presidential run-off election was flawed and illegitimate.
The AU resolution endorsed South African President Thabo Mbeki as mediator in Zimbabwe, but Tsvangirai says the MDC has reservations about any mediation under Mr. Mbeki.
