International financial lenders - World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the AfDB have been urged not to offer any financial assistance to a 'rouge' Zimbabwe.
People's Democratic Party (PDP) said government is not keen on implementing reforms.
In a statement, PDP national spokesperson Jacob Mafume said for Zimbabwe to earn the support of the international community, it must institute reform.
"These reforms include; security of the tenure of land, the respect of the Constitution and the rule of law, media and electoral reforms and the repealing of the Indigenisation and Empowerment Act".
He said Zanu PF is not showing any willingness to implement reforms .
"Given the above scenario, it will be wrong for the AfDB, African governments and the international partners in supporting this rogue regime.
"We therefore maintain that the AfDB must remove Zimbabwe from its agenda of its meeting on 7 December," he said.
He added "As the People's Democratic Party (PDP), we are totally sick of the efforts of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the AfDB of continuing to seek to help a rogue regime against the ordinary citizens.
"This is our country and we know what is best for the country. What is best for our country is not to support the rogue regime but rather to support democratic change, democratic reforms and a sustainable Zimbabwe".
