"South African President Thabo Mbeki announced plans Friday to work closely with the United Nations and the African Union as he attempts to mediate a settlement in Zimbabwe.
The plan was applauded by Zimbabwe's opposition, which has criticized Mbeki as biased in favor of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, and called for him to be replaced or work with a second mediator.
Mbeki proposed that a special group of representatives from the U.N., AU and the Southern African Development Community be formed with which he would talk "on an ongoing basis."
Mbeki would remain the main mediator trying to find a solution to Zimbabwe's deadly political crisis.
In a statement released late Friday, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai welcomed the effort "to find a peaceful negotiated solution to the Zimbabwean crisis."
