Tsvangirai,Ncube, Biti to address joint Alliance rally on Saturday

The opposition MDC is close to re-uniting ahead of next year's elections with leaders of the party's offshoots, Welshman Ncube and Tendai Biti retracing their footsteps back to Morgan Tsvangirai's labour-backed party.

With pressure piling on opposition parties to join forces if they are to entertain hopes of defeating President Robert Mugabe, Tsvangirai, Biti and Ncube - former allies turned foes - will launch their coalition at a rally in the capital on Saturday -albeit without former Vice President Joice Mujuru.

MDC-T leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai and the four political parties that have agreed to work with the MDC-T namely MDC (Welshman Ncube), People's Democratic Party (Tendai Biti), Transform Zimbabwe (Jacobe Ngaruvhume) and Zanu Ndonga will this Saturday hold an Alliance Rally at the Zimbabwe Grounds in Harare.

In a tweet, the MDC said, "All roads lead to Zim. Grounds this Saturday for the joint Alliance Rally. Speakers -Prof Welshman Ncube, Morgan Tsvangirai, T. Biti &others."
