The leader of Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change is in Johannesburg to attend a weekend regional summit.
Morgan Tsvangirai arrived in the South African city a day after the authorities at Harare's international airport had stopped him from leaving the country by briefly confiscating his travel documents. Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe will also attend the summit of the Southern African Development Community. An official with Mugabe's ruling ZANU-PF party says that stalled power-sharing talks with the MDC will would resume on the sidelines of the summit. Negotiations in Harare were adjourned earlier in the week after Tsvangirai and Mugabe failed to agree on who should lead a government of national unity.
