 POLITICAL principals of the inclusive government have cleared many of the outstanding issues — except three which include the swearing-in of Roy Bennett and the controversial appointments of Reserve Bank governor Gideon Gono and Attorney-General Johannes Tomana — in an unexpected move towards the resolution of the current inter-party negotiations deadlock.
Informed sources said after their meeting on June 8, President Robert Mugabe, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara wrote to South African President Jacob Zuma, the Sadc facilitator on inter-party negotiations, outlining areas of agreement and disagreement.

 A POLITICAL storm is gathering over the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) on whether Zimbabwe should be on the agenda of the regional bloc’s forthcoming summit in Windhoek, Namibia, next month.
Diplomatic sources said this week the potential row pits President Robert Mugabe’s Sadc allies against those who support Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
Mugabe usually resists having Zimbabwe on the agenda of such meetings, while Tsvangirai wants it to be discussed.
A similar battle erupted last year just before the Sadc summit in Kinshasa on September 7-8.
