problem>

The above errors indicate that you are attempting to load the same zone
twice.  Search your named.conf file for instances of the zone names in
question, like this maybe:

grep  xxx.co.zw named.conf

I suspect you will get at least two lines returned, one of them being at
line 1632 of named.conf.
