Unity Government
Following the swearing-in of the unity government, his announced nominee for deputy agriculture minister, Roy Bennett, was arrested and charged with treason, which was later reduced to a charge of possessing weapons for the destabilisation of the government; Tsvangirai's government has exhibited little ability to rescind the charges. Furthermore, farmland invasions by the war veterans have continued, with Mugabe maintaining the land reform policy despite the protests of the opposition.
Tsvangirai reportedly visited Nigerian prophet T.B. Joshua in September 2010 to seek Divine intervention for the upcoming Zimbabwean elections
