Harare - The Zimbabwe government has lifted a ban on non-governmental organisations involved in food distribution and Aids-related issues, the state-run Herald has reported.

The newspaper cited acting secretary for welfare Sydney Mhishi as saying the government's suspension of all aid groups earlier this month would not prevent those receiving Aids medication from "accessing drugs and therapeutic feeding from clinics and hospitals".

"Supplementary feeding is a community-based programme, which does not entail community mobilisation by NGOs, hence it falls outside those affected by the suspension," Mhishi wrote in a letter to NGOs.
