Draft deal sees ceremonial role for Mugabe: report

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai will run the country under a mooted draft agreement while President Robert Mugabe will become ceremonial president, a South African newspaper reported on Wednesday.

The Star newspaper said a draft document circulated among negotiators in Zimbabwe's power-sharing talks in South Africa also proposed an amnesty for Mugabe and others implicated in political crimes.

The paper said there was no agreement yet but quoted unnamed sources as saying the rival parties were receptive to the draft document.
