South African government ministers are in Harare for crisis talks with ousted President Robert Mugabe and military leaders who have seized control, the BBC reports.

They are trying to reach a deal on the future of Zimbabwe and the man who has led the country for 37 years, and is now under house arrest.

The Southern African Development Community (Sadc) regional bloc is to hold emergency talks shortly.

But sources suggest Mr Mugabe may be resisting pressure to resign.

They say he is insisting he remains the legitimate president.

President Mugabe, 93, has been in control of Zimbabwe since it threw off white minority rule in 1980.
