Zimbabwe's political leaders have failed to iron out differences over the makeup of a unity government aimed at ending the country's political chaos.
The meeting of President Robert Mugabe, opposition Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai and MDC splinter group head Arthur Mutambara failed to resolve a stand-off over key ministries and governor posts.
Movement for Democratic Change spokesman Nelson Chamisa said there was deliberation but there was no agreement.
The parties had ‘a frank and realistic’ exchange but the allocation of ministries was still deadlocked, he said.
The failure to agree on the key posts has delayed the implementation of a unity government outlined in a power-sharing agreement signed by the three leaders last month.
The South African government said Friday that former president Thabo Mbeki, who brokered the power-sharing deal, had agreed to resume his mediation to resolve the crisis.
At least one Mbeki aide is expected to travel to Harare this weekend to discuss the situation in a move to push forward the talks.
