Mugabe not happy with unity government

President Robert Mugabe has told South African President Jacob Zuma that he is not happy with the power-sharing government because it is semi-legal, reports said today. Mugabe told the Sunday Mail:  “I told President Zuma I am a lawyer and I am not happy to be in a thing which is semi-legal. Our authority as a government does not derive from a properly constituted constitutional position but from a makeshift arrangement and Zimbabweans should never be governed on such a makeshift arrangement for too long. I feel awkward in a thing like that, absolutely awkward,” he is quoted as saying. Mugabe has called for elections to be held next year but most people argue that the country is not ready for elections.
