Washington, 31 July-(ANA)-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will press South Africa to use its influence with Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe when she is in Pretoria next week, a senior American official said.
Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Johnnie Carson, said Clinton would urge Zuma to get Mugabe to fully implement a power-sharing deal with opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai so that Zimbabwe can return to democratic rule.
South African President Jacob Zuma has taken a harder line on Zimbabwe than his predecessor, Thabo Mbeki, but the United States would like Zuma to do more to quicken the pace of reform in Zimbabwe. (Ana)
