UK Mugabe opponent appeals for calm Morgan Tsvangirai slipped home undetected Zimbabwe's opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, has appeared in public and appealed for calm after a day of confusion over his whereabouts. Police had been waiting to arrest him at Harare international airport on his return from a business trip in South Africa but he did not travel on any of the scheduled flights. Speaking to journalists in the garden of his house he said he had not wanted to heighten tension by making a high-profile return. He told his supporters to remain calm saying Zimbabwe did not need any further anarchy. Mr Tsvangirai said he was not worried by the threat of arrest and had no intention of leaving the country.
