The South African government has confirmed that it is willing in principle to financially assist Zimbabwe, including through the provision of a loan facility to help it address its overdue obligations to the International Monetary Fund.
Spokesman Joel Netshitenzhe said Pretoria is basing the commitment on the premise that assistance should benefit the people of Zimbabwe as a whole �within the context of their program of economic recovery and political normalization,� alluding to ongoing efforts to promote discussions between Zimbawe's government and its opposition."
