Harare: Zimbabwe's parliament is set to convene on Monday, a parliament clerk said on Wednesday.
President Robert Mugabe will officially open parliament on Tuesday, he added.
"We have now been informed that the President has fixed Monday August 25 as the date of the swearing-in of members of parliament," Austin Zvoma told reporters.
Zimbabwe's opposition MDC said on Wednesday plans by Mugabe's government to convene parliament would endanger power-sharing talks.
