Zimbabwe's Opposition Leader Tsvangirai refuses king Muswati's offer

Johannesburg - Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has refused an offer from Swaziland's king to fly him to a regional summit aimed at breaking an impasse in power-sharing talks, an opposition official said on Monday. "I've just spoken with him (Tsvangirai). He told King Mswati not to send the plane. He's not coming," Roy Bennett, an official with Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change, told Reuters. Tsvangirai's MDC said he had not been granted travel papers to attend the Southern African Development Community security committee meeting in Mbabane, which was called after weeks of fruitless negotiations over the allocation of cabinet positions.
