Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe on Thursday finally agreed to swear in Roy Bennett as deputy Agriculture minister.

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said Zanu-PF and the Movement for Democratic Change had managed to agree on a number of thorny issues.

Bennett should have been sworn in as deputy Agriculture minister back in February instead he was in jail facing highly controversial terrorism charges.

Mugabe had refused to swear him in since but now Tsvangirai said he had finally relented.

However, there were still huge problem areas in the coalition government.

The government called on the Southern African Development Community to adjudicate Mugabe's appointment of the Central Bank governor and the attorney general which he was still refusing to reconsider.
