President Jacob Zuma wrapped up talks with Zimbabwe's political leaders in Harare on Thursday.

Zuma is believed to have told President Robert Mugabe that Zanu-PF must give up one of two key government posts.

Zuma told a press conference he held fruitful discussions with Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.

He said they agreed on a package of measures but did not say what those measures were.

Sources close to the talks say he may have told the attorney-general and the Central Bank chief that one of them had to stand down.

The MDC said both Johannes Temana and Gideon Gono were unilaterally appointed by Mugabe and were Zanu-PF faithfuls. Both wield enormous power in Zimbabwe and this would be a huge breakthrough if one of them agreed to resign.

Negotiating teams will continue talks next week in the mountainous resort of Nyanga and report back to Zuma by 31 March.
