Zimbabwe govt faces litigation over Peace commission

The government faces a Constitutional Court challenge over inordinate delays in establishing the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission, local human Rights groups have warned.

Civic society leaders yesterday decried President Robert Mugabe's dithering even after he had been provided with a list of recommended names to make up the commission.

Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum executive director Lloyd Kuveya said government needed to abide by the Constitution if it was to avoid litigations.
