Zimbabwe's main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change is due to release its campaign manifesto for next month general elections. The MDC will also introduce candidates who will contest in the Presidential, legislative, Senate and local council polls slated for the 29th of next month.

Meanwhile, exiled Zimbabweans are due to hold a protest march on the South African border as President Robert Mugabe celebrates his 84th birthday at the border town of Beitbridge.

According to the MDC spokesman, Nelson Chamisa, the ceremony would include the unveiling of the party's symbols as well as an action plan spelling out its aims for its first 100 days in office, if elected.
