Tsvangirai meets MDC-T, ZANU PF negotiators

HARARE – Prime Minister (PM) Morgan Tsvangirai on Monday met negotiators from his MDC-T and President Robert Mugabe’s ZANU PF party as he pushes for a speedy resolution of a power-sharing dispute threatening Zimbabwe’s coalition government.

Tsvangirai’s spokesman James Maridadi told ZimOnline that negotiators from Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara’s MDC-M party did not attend the meeting with the PM due to other pressing commitments.

“They met and discussed the urgency of business at hand. Because other negotiators were not available due to other pressing issues, the PM has taken it upon himself to brief them,” said Maridadi.

The Southern African Development Community (SADC)’s special organ on defence and politics earlier this month gave the Zimbabwean parties two weeks to open up negotiations to resolve outstanding issues from last year’s power-sharing agreement or global political agreement (GPA) that gave birth to the coalition government.
