Zimbabwe\'s opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai and President Robert Mugabe have reached a deal to share power.



After mediating four days of talks in Harare, South African President Thabo Mbeki said the agreement would be signed and made public on Monday.



Mr. Tsvangirai has confirmed the deal, but Mr. Mugabe still has to comment.



The government and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change had already agreed that Mr. Tsvangirai would be prime minister with Mr Mugabe staying on as president.



Mr. Mbeki told a news conference yesterday that the two sides had agreed unanimously to form an inclusive government.



Mr. Mbeki said he was certain that the leadership of Zimbabwe is committed to implementing the agreements.
