"We are travelling to South Africa with President (Robert) Mugabe today as the negotiations continue," the Herald newspaper quoted chief ZANU-PF negotiator Patrick Chinamasa as saying.

"The talks never collapsed and all parties are committed to the dialogue. I would also want to confirm Zanu-PF's commitment to see the talks end successfully sooner rather than later."

The negotiations began last month after Mugabe's unopposed re-election in a vote in June that was condemned around the world and boycotted by Tsvangirai because of attacks on his supporters. But three days of meetings in Harare failed to reach an overall deal.

Chinamasa said there was pressure for the country to convene parliament and form a Government.

"We cannot continue wandering around without direction, hence the need to swear in parliamentarians and open the House so that the elected members can continue to fulfil their constitutional mandate," he said.
