Johannesburg: Prominent figures, including former UN secretary general Kofi Annan believe Zimbabwe could soon collapse under its struggling government due to the spiraling political and economic crisis, South Africa's ANC leader Jacob Zuma said on Monday.
"They believe the situation is very bad. They believe things could collapse in a few months time in Zimbabwe," Zuma told reporters after meeting Annan, former US President Jimmy Carter and other figures.
Annan, Carter and Nelson Mandela's wife, Graca Machel, are among a group of prominent figures and former statesmen called The Elders, which was barred from visiting Zimbabwe last week.
