PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe said 2013 is "bad luck" for his rivals as he returned from his two-week annual vacation.
The number 13 is considered an unlucky number in some cultures and for Mugabe, due to fight possibly his last election this year, it spells doom for his rivals.
"The figure 13 is bad luck for others, not us," he said in brief comments to journalists after touching down at the Harare International Airport.
Mugabe has stated his desire to call general elections in March, but delays in finalising a new constitution and a stalled voter registration programme have cast doubt on Zimbabwe's readiness for the key vote.
