President Robert Mugabe has made a bid to claim unilaterally key government ministries - including defence, foreign affairs and home affairs - in Zimbabwe's new power-sharing government. But his main opponents have rejected the move as "a giant act of madness."

Please AllAfrica.com The Herald is not a Zanu PF newspaper but a daily that is very independent of the said political party. If you did not know Zanu PF owned newspaper is called The People"s Voice. You should not be party to the MDC propaganda if you want your newspaper to command the requisite respect as a neutral paper. Please do not unilaterally mislead people like that or if you do not have the facts please ask for them

It has since been revealed that the list of ministries was put up by George Charamba (a.k.a Nathaniel Manheru)of ZANU (PF). The list is not the agreed position but rather the ZANU (PF) negotiating position. Tsvangirai has also unequivocally stated that 'Home Affairs' belongs to MDC and that the deal can break on differences over the allocation of 'Home Affairs'. So if we accept that what was published in the Herald is the correct list we might as well have to accept that the deal is dead as the Herald list shows 'Home Affairs' with ZANU (PF). The MDC - T has also published its own distribution list which does not resemble the list published by ZANU (PF) in The Herald.
For your own information the Herald did not publish the list from nowhere, that list was gazetted by the Govt Gazett and so do not blame the Herald. The list in the Govt Gazett is final and that is lawful unless you want to be lawless. ZANU (PF)'s negotiating position is that it wanted al 31 ministries to itself. What this means is that it has compromised immensely to give sellout Tsvangirai 13 ministries. What Mr Boycott has stated is not fact and that is up to the President of the country to decide which ministry goes to which party. What President Mugabe has done is to tolerate nonsense coming from the MDC. Tsvangirai is only consulted and the final decision lies with the President whether we like it or not.
You'd think under a GNU that the 4 key ministeries would be shared 2-2. 4-0 is hardly a compromise.
Actually.. I see it is 6 of the key ministries are 6-0 to Mugabe. Hardly a compromise indeed.
icho! What have you been smoking to think that the Herald is independent and not pro ZANU PF? You really are a fool if you believe otherwise. There are so many stories that are published by a wide range of other news papers that critisize the ZANU PF that never make the Herald. Why is this? If the Herald was independent as you say, then this wouldnt be the case. You only need to read from a variety of sources to find this out. Its not hard. Maybe you should.
is this guy for real??????? i'm from mozambique but clearly know about this 'CRAP' Heral newspaper:D.. your dear Mugabe chud be in jail like any other criminal and that's it!!!!
Its says The Herald, Published by the Government of Zimbabwe!
Haha. You talk such nonsence!

Oh!!!! COME ON iCHO be serious. The Herald is controlled by ZPF everyone with a bit of brains knows this. Thre is no need for you to do multiple posts.
Im born and bred in Zimbabwe The Herald was used as a mouth piece of Ian Douglas Smith and now it is a FOUR SQUARED ZANU PF mouth piece even my education starved child knows it very well. No progressive Zimbabwean reads the Herald even some ZANU supporters take it with a pinch of salt.
