Harare  - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe said Saturday his party's fight with Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change was over and demanded an end to political violence in the country.

Mugabe was addressing mourners, including Tsvangirai, at the burial of former army commander Vitalis Zvinavashe at Heroes' Acre cemetery in Harare.

Tsvangirai attended, despite being himself in mourning for his late wife, Susan.

Referring to the coalition government he and Tsvangirai formed a month ago, Mugabe said: "We have Prime Minister Tsvangirai and his deputies here with us - that is what it should be. "

"Fighting must stop," he said. "I hear there is still violence in some parts and some houses have been burnt down. Those who still think fighting must continue must declare themselves enemies of Zimbabwe," he said.

Political violence has flared up again between old foes in parts of Zimbabwe.

Some Zanu-PF members have reportedly been attacked by MDC supporters retaliating for last year's bloody state-sponsored crackdown on the opposition.

Scores of opposition activists were killed by Zanu-PF militia and elements of the military out to avenge the party's defeat by the MDC in elections.

Last week, some Zanu PF supporters allegedly burnt down the homes of some MDC supporters, who were attending the funeral of Tsvangirai's wife.

Susan Tsvangirai died in a car crash in which the MDC leader was also slightly injured. Tsvangirai and Mugabe have both tried to dispel suspicion among MDC supporters of foul play. (dpa)
