With these reservations in mind we should also note the progress that has been made under the inclusive government at a political level. Areas of improvement include a decrease in political violence, appointments of the Chairs and members of the Human Rights, Electoral and Media Commissions, and the introduction of a Reserve Bank Reform Bill that reduces the powers of the Reserve Bank Governor and undermines his capacity to carry out quasi fiscal activities. Additionally despite the many criticisms that have been made of the Joint Monitoring and Implementation Committee (JOMIC) set up to monitor the implementation of the GPA, JOMIC has been an important arena for continued negotiations between the parties and a certain rapport has developed between the parties due to an extended period of engagement. At the end of March President Zuma intervened in order to break the deadlock in the implementation of the GPA, and during his visit to Harare he met with the three political Principals, the Reserve Bank Governor and the Attorney General. At the conclusion of this intervention it was agreed that the major outstanding issues have to be finalised by the 31st March and a report produced for the SADC facilitator. It was reported that a set of compromises were put on the table for discussion and these included: 1. The Reserve Bank Governor, Gideon Gono to resign. 2. Attorney General Tomana be appointed a high court judge and replaced by someone acceptable to all parties. 3. Treason charges against Roy Bennett to be dropped, but he will then be given a position different to the Deputy Minister of Agriculture. 4. Ten provincial governors to be shared between the parties. 5. All parties to lobby for the lifting of sanctions against Mugabe and other targeted members of Zanu PF.29 While there is no guarantee that this intervention will lead to a break in the deadlock it is clear that, notwithstanding all the obstacles facing this option, it remains the most viable of the three presented here. Thus unless sufficient time is given for a fuller implementation of the GPA, and the SADC facilitators take the necessary steps to remain effectively engaged in the process, it is most likely that the Zimbabwean imbroglio will persist. Conclusion The options presented above all present serious obstacles, and with the sense of growing frustration over the electoral injustice that led to the signing of the GPA, some voices have called either for a withdrawal from the GPA or an early election. It is hoped that the arguments in this Briefing have shown that these two options would most likely deepen the crisis, and that notwithstanding the risks of the third option, it remains the best way forward in the current conjuncture.                                                              29  Dumisani Muleya and Moipone Malefane, “Zuma breaks Zim deadlock.” Sunday Times, 21/03/10.  13
