Zimbabwe parliament set to meet ... opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) said it was a contemptuous move that it would not accept.

The MDC had signed the power-sharing agreement with Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party on 15 September.

But the parties have been deadlocked in allocating ministries and have called back South African mediators.

Mr Mugabe has reportedly unilaterally allocated Zanu-PF the ministries of defence, home affairs and finance.
