HARARE, Sept 4 - Zimbabwe’s main opposition MDC has lost faith in power-sharing talks with the ruling ZANU-PF and President Robert Mugabe can go ahead and form a government without it, an MDC official said on Thursday.

The official, who asked not to be named, said the Movement for Democratic Change no longer had confidence in the negotiations mediated by South African President Thabo Mbeki. ”As such, we have lost confidence in this process. They can go ahead and Mugabe can form his government, we will not be a part of that circus,” the official said. ”He (Mbeki) is trying to rush us into a deal. The unfortunate thing is that Mbeki is trying to help Mugabe achieve his ends, not to solve the crisis.”
