Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe on
Wednesday said he was committed to a speedy conclusion of stalled unity
talks between his Zanu-PF party and the opposition Movement for
Democratic Change (MDC). 'Speaking for Zanu-PF and myself we
are committed and want to see the speedy and successful conclusion of
the talks so that we can focus on the turnaround of our economy,'
Mugabe told a press conference given by Reserve Bank governor Gideon
Gono. Gono announced the bank was stripping ten zeroes off the battered Zimbabwe dollar.
Mugabe's remarks came ahead of a meeting later in Harare with South
African President Thabo Mbeki to discuss the two-day-old suspension of
talks on the formation of a unity government.
