Harare: Top Zimbabwe security officials have been in talks with South African mediators, a South African newspaper reported on Thursday.
The Star Newspaper said, Zimbabwe's security chiefs “wanted to ensure that their interests are catered for in any agreement reached" in power-sharing talks which began two weeks ago.
The involvement of the security officials, who have wide power, may be crucial in resolving Zimbawe's longstanding political crisis.
