HARARE, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa on Wednesday accused the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change of endangering power-sharing talks which have stalled over allocation of cabinet posts, but said negotiations would continue.

Chinamasa also rejected opposition calls for mediation in the stalled process, saying there was no need.

"The MDC is prejudicing talks by trying to negotiate in public. That will not assist the process. That's a sure way of collapsing the negotiations," Chinamasa said. (Reporting by Nelson Banya)
