HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai will not return home on Saturday as expected to prepare for the second round of elections against Robert Mugabe, his party said.

"We apologize to advise that Morgan Tsvangirai is no longer expected to return today. We can't say why he will not be coming today, except to say it's due to circumstances beyond our control," Movement for Democratic Change spokesman Nelson Chamisa told Reuters.
