The presidency has refused to be drawn into the latest round of speculation about a political exit plan for the Zimbabwean head of state, Robert Mugabe.

Rapport newspaper reported on Sunday that President Thabo Mbeki gave American President George Bush assurances during his visit to South Africa last week that Mugabe would be out of office by December.

The report was based on an article in the Zimbabwean newspaper, the Independent, and supported by "diplomatic sources" and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
