First world politics. <p>In an attempt to &#8220;kick-start&#8221; talks with Zimbabwe, President Mbeki is <a href="http://www.mg.co.za/articlePage.aspx?articleid=274054&#38;area=/breaking_news/breaking_news__national/">sending</a> Minister of Intelligence Ronnie Kasrils to meet with Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe. Isn&#8217;t he sending the wrong minister? Shouldn&#8217;t he be sending Minister of Foreign Affairs Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma? She&#8217;s been out of the news for an awful long time and seems to have ceded her role over to Mbeki with his constant role in conflicts around Africa, and now to other ministers like Kasrils. Does Kasrils has some special relationship with Mugabe that makes him the better choice?</p> Fri, 09 Jun 2006 05:25:00 -0400 urn:uuid:405041fa10370e8db7dfa6fcedb508b3 Farrel http://politics.za.net/articles/2006/06/09/mbeki-sends-kasrils-to-zimbabwe Foreign Affairs Intelligence http://politics.za.net/articles/trackback/162
