With the conclusion of fraught negotiations, a power-sharing government of sorts will attempt to lead Zimbabwe forward. Thabo Mbeki's hesitation at critical earlier stages of the negotiations was in part due to his judgment that Morgan Tsvangirai did not have the capacity to lead a country. What changed? What is the future with Tsvangirai at the helm? Professor Chan and Dr Chitiyo will offer an analysis that attempts to answer these questions and look at what the future may hold for Zimbabwe.
