Opposition chief to return to Zimbabwe

ZIMBABWE’s opposition leader said yesterday he will return home this weekend despite fears of a possible assassination attempt.

“I am going home Saturday,” Morgan Tsvangirai told a crowd of Zimbabweans seeking protection at a Johannesburg police station after a wave of anti-foreigner attacks in South Africa.

Tsvangirai faces a run-off election against President Robert Mugabe on June 27. He won the first round of voting at the end of March but not by an absolute majority.
