The PM and his delegation wanted to take the opportunity in Gaborone to talk about the so-called crisis in Zimbabwe and also to try and push their agenda to postpone elections scheduled for next year.
Instead, the facilitator to the Global Political Agreement, President Jacob Zuma, only met the three principals to the GPA for about 30 minutes, much to the chagrin of Mr Tsvangirai, who wanted to use the meeting to convince his Western handlers that he is doing something about his imagined crisis in Zimbabwe.
