Harare - Zimbabwe's main opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, returned to Zimbabwe on Saturday following more than two months abroad seeking counsel from regional leaders, but says he will not be "bulldozed" into a power-sharing government with Robert Mugabe.

At Harare airport the leader of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) told reporters that he was "glad to be back. I am very conscious of the plight of the people of this country and I hope that the meetings that are going to take place may actually find a lasting solution to the crisis, however I must emphasise that the MDC will not be bulldozed into an agreement which does not reflect the aspirations of the people."

He was referring to a deadlocked power-sharing agreement that he signed with President Robert Mugabe's last September.

Negotiations for power-sharing under a deal signed in mid- September have stalled, with Tsvangirai and Mugabe unable to agree on the distribution of ministries. The MDC accuses Mugabe's party of intimidation and the kidnap of his supporters.

South African president Kgalema Motlanthe is due in Zimbabwe on Monday together with his predecessor Thabo Mbeki and Mozambique leader Armando Guebuza try to resolve the impasse.

On Thursday the Zimbabwe opposition leader said he is committed to a power-sharing deal with Mugabe, despite recent threats to abandon the deal.

Tsvangirai is expected to meet his party top leadership on Sunday ahead of the Monday meeting. (dpa)
