Zimbabwe opposition leader pledges to fight Mugabe

May 11 2008

ZIMBABWE'S opposition leader is set to return for a run-off vote - despite fears for his life.

Morgan Tsvangirai fled the country with other top opposition figures as violence flared following the presidential elections in March.

But his Movement for Democratic Change, who insist he won the first round against tyrant Robert Mugabe outright, said he would return within two days.

And Tsvangirai, who has been staying in South Africa, said his supporters would feel "betrayed" if he did not face Mugabe.

He said: "I am ready and the people are ready for the final round."
