Zimbabwe's Opposition Leader Morgan Tsvangirai is preparing to return to the country after spending the past month in self-imposed exile in South Africa.

Mr Tsvangirai says he will return to Zimbabwe early this week to show the people that he believes he was victorious in the first poll and that he will prevail again in a run-off election against incumbent President, Robert Mugabe.

"I shall return to Zimbabwe to begin a victory tour," he said.

"Some might say this term 'victory' is cold and callous given the hardships endured by the people, but the people are victorious and they are being punished for their victory."

The Opposition Leader is preparing for a run-off election within two weeks, even though Zimbabwe's Electoral Commission has not yet announced when it will be held.
