Zimbabwe’s Coalition Government is on the brink of collapse as serious fissures stalked by the re-arrest of Roy Bennett – Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s top aide. Tsvangirai cancelled a Council of Ministers meeting in protest over President Mugabe’s refusal to meet him to resolve the matter.
All moves by Tsvangirai to meet Mugabe, Justice and Legal Affairs Minister Patrick Chinamasa and Attorney General Johannes Tomana failed.
The spokesperson of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) James Maridadi confirmed that the minister’s meeting – which Tsvangirai chairs and sits on Thursdays – had been suspended because “the Prime Minister (Tsvangirai) will be meeting the top MDC leadership to consider Senator Roy Bennett’s issue”.
