Tsvangirai stalling on deal: ZANU-PF

8220;Tsvangirai8217;s failure to come to Swaziland seems to us to reflect his own reluctance or hesitancy to finalise and conclude discussions on the formation of an inclusive government,8221; Patrick Chinamasa, ZANU-PF chief negotiator, told the state-owned Herald newspaper.

Mugabe and Tsvangirai have clashed over control of key ministries and weeks of face-to-face talks have failed to break the deadlock, raising fears a power-sharing deal signed over a month ago could collapse and plunge Zimbabwe8217;s economy deeper into crisis.

Tsvangirai, who has not been issued a new passport since filling up his old one months ago, was given a temporary emergency document for the trip but refused to use it.

The Southern African Development Community SADC meeting will now take place in Harare.

In an editorial, the Herald urged Mugabe to form a cabinet without Tsvangirai, adding that the opposition Movement for Democratic Change leader should renounce Western sanctions before being issued a new passport.

The MDC said in a statement on Tuesday that Tsvangirai would address rallies in Zimbabwe over the weekend to update supporters on developments since the deal was signed.
