She said the women had planned to stage a peaceful demonstration calling for Zimbabwe's political leaders to put their country's interest first during the talks. She said many women wanted an end to the political impasse as their families were hungry.
The talks, facilitated by former South African president Thabo Mbeki, resulted in a power-sharing agreement, but the implementation 7 of the plan broke down over allocation of cabinet positions.
In earlier negotiations 8, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was given the two main security posts and prime-minister designate Morgan Tsvangirai demanded the home affairs ministry 9, which controls the police, immigration and the controversial voters' roll.
Also attending the talks are Zimbabwe minority party leader Arthur Mutambara, South African President Kgalema Mothlanthe, President Armando Guebuza of Mozambique and senior politicians from Angola and Swaziland.
Mr. Tsvangirai has said he will not compromise on his demand for an equitable 10 share of the ministries 11.
