Foreign Affairs director General Ayanda Ntsaluba has rejected calls for Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe to be tried at the International Criminal Court for human rights abuses.

Ntsaluba told a media briefing in Pretoria that such call were counter-productive at a time when South Africa was trying to broker a peace deal.

He adds that whatever the levels of discomfort amongst the different parties in Zimbabwe, South Africa remains convinced that the leaders will find a way around the difficulties they may have.
