What is Happening in Zimbabwe?

While the entire world sits and watches the tense political situation in Zimbabwe, South Africa's President Jacob Zuma, in his capacity as chairperson of the SADC, has sent special envoys to Zimbabwe to meet President Robert Mugabe and the Zimbabwean Defence Force. Zuma says he spoke to Mugabe earlier today "who indicated that he was confined to his home but said that he was fine".

The army, maintaining a presence in Harare, are calling for peace and calm.
