On Tuesday MDC leader Welshman Ncube met Mugabe for about two and a half hours after the normal cabinet meeting. According to MDC-N national spokesman, Nhlanhla Dube, Mugabe defended Mutambara during the meeting.
The ZANU PF leader said Mutambara had told him that Ncube had hired delegates to the congress that elected him as President. Ncube disputed the accusations.
"They both agreed that there were no legal implications in swearing in Professor Ncube. (They agreed that) there was no High Court interdict stopping President Mugabe from swearing in Ncube and that there is no High Court interdict stopping Ncube from being sworn in."
At the end of the meeting Mugabe told Ncube that he would consult Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai on the matter and get back to him within seven days.
