Zimbabwe opposition insists on ‘equitable’ deal

ZIMBABWE’S opposition MDC insisted yesterday an “equitable” sharing of powerful ministries and the resolution of other outstanding political issues were key to the formation of a unity government.

“The biggest passport to the formation of an inclusive government is the resolution of outstanding political issues, that is, issues to do with the allocation of governors’ posts and the equitable allocation of key ministries,” Movement for Democratic Change spokesman, Nelson Chamisa, said.

“We have identified several key ministries which we want shared equitably. It is not about home affairs only, as ZANU-PF falsely claims, and it is not going to be resolved by sharing one ministry as SADC (Southern African Development Community) suggested,” said.
