Nicholas Tasunungurwa Goche is a Zimbabwean politician, currently serving as Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare.[1]
Goche and Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa met with Tendai Biti and Welshman Ncube, the secretary generals of separate factions of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, in Pretoria, South Africa on June 16, 2007. South African President Thabo Mbeki, appointed by the Southern African Development Community, presided over the negotiations, which sought to end economic sanctions on Zimbabwe.[1]
