Mbeki and Mugabe Zimbabwe leader Robert Mugabe has called Prime Minister Gordon Brown "a little tiny dot on this world".
He was responding to Mr Brown's warning to Mr Mugabe that he is "appalled" at the latest developments in the country.
"Brown is the world? Sure, the world is losing patience, but I know Brown is a little tiny dot on this world," Mr Mugabe said.
Zimbabwean police have banned political rallies amid growing tension over the disputed presidential election.
'Completely unacceptable'
The prime minister said the world was running out of patience with President Mugabe, with results still not released almost two weeks after the election.
In a fresh appeal Mr Brown said: "We cannot wait any longer for the announcement of these results.

"It is in the interests of Zimbabwe's future that President Mugabe and his Zimbabwean electoral commission publish these results."
"I think it is important that we are vigilant about what happens after that. If there is to be a future election, that there is proper international monitoring of what is going on."
He added: "It is appalling if there is intimidation and violence. It is completely unacceptable and the whole eyes of the world are on Zimbabwe now."
