Zimbabwe's political divide agree reform teams
Printable
EmailZimbabwe's national unity administration has agreed to the final composition of commissions overseeing media and election reform.
In a statement the government said President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai had appointed people nominated by a parliamentary committee to sit on Zimbabwe's Media Commission, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission and the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission.
These are all new organs expected to steer reforms seen as critical to attracting foreign investment.
Analysts said the three commissions looked politically balanced with technocrats and officials who have ties to both Mr Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front and Mr Tsvangirai's Western-backed Movement for Democratic Change.
When Mr Mugabe, Mr Tsvangirai and Deputy PM Arthur Mutambara joined in a unity government in February they agreed to form the commissions, but had deadlocked over their composition.
