Southern African leaders established a committee yesterday to monitor the restoration of the rule of law in Zimbabwe, where President Robert Mugabe has pledged to end a violent campaign of seizing white-owned farms.
At the end of a two-day summit to help to steer Zimbabwe from a ruinous land crisis, heads of state from five countries also urged Harare to establish a multi-party parliamentary committee to tackle economic problems and other contentious issues, such as campaigns against the opposition, the media and judiciary.
In a communique, they said they had noted with appreciation the renewed commitment by the Government and stakeholders to intensify consultations aimed at finding lasting solutions to the land issue.
