STORYLINE:

Zimbabwe's crumbling democracy dominated discussions Monday at a meeting of Southern African leaders in Malawi, where the chair of the conference called on President Robert Mugabe to hold free and fair elections.

Instability in Zimbabwe could convulse all of southern Africa, and the meeting of the 14-member Southern African Development Community (SADC) was seen as one of the last opportunities for regional leaders to reign in Mugabe ahead of presidential elections scheduled for March 9 and 10.

"We are very hopeful that the elections will be peaceful, free, fair and transparent," said Malawi's President Bakili Muluzi, who was hosting the summit. "As a matter of fact, what is important in an election is not just the election day but the entire election process, from the preparations to the vote counting and the announcement of results."

Muluzi said Mugabe had given him an undertaking to allow foreign journalists in during the elections, adding he would have to be taken at his word.

But the deportation by Malawian authorities of four Zimbabwean leading human rights activists, who had planned to lobby for a tougher stance against Mugabe, did not bode well for those who hoped SADC leaders would break ranks with one of their own.

In the Zimbabwean capital of Harare, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai said he was disappointed with the SADC, calling it a body "full of double standards and hypocrisy."

As part of his fight for political survival after 21 years in power, Mugabe has cracked down on the opposition through legislation and government-sanctioned violence.

The deteriorating human rights situation has sparked international condemnation and concern.

Polls indicate that Mugabe is in danger of losing power, but the possibility of free elections appears remote.
