Zimbabwe to respond to UK violence demand

    JOHANNESBURG

    The Zimbabwe government said on Friday it is to meet next week to discuss the British government's demand that the violence in Zimbabwe come to an end before it can consider offering funds for land reform.

    Information and Broadcasting Minister Chen Chimutengwende was quoted by Reuters as saying that government would discuss the outcome of this week's bilateral talks at a cabinet meeting to be chaired by President Robert Mugabe on Tuesday.

    "We are also trying to end the violence. We don't see any of those (British demands) as conditions. They want to make it look like they are being tough with us," he said.
