There is renewed optimism that Zimbabwe's on and off coalition government will be rescued after a regional body asked South African President Jacob Zuma to step in as the new facilitator.
Mr Zuma effectively replaces his predecessor Mr Thabo Mbeki who helped broker the historic power sharing agreement on September 15 last year, leading to the formation of an inclusive government in February.
But Mr Mbeki was criticised for being soft on President Robert Mugabe with some of the Zimbabwean parties publicly declaring that they no longer had confidence in his mediation.
