There is opposition concern in Zimbabwe over the conduct of the country's general election.
Zimbabwe's security forces have been put on alert to quash any violence ahead of tomorrow's general election in which President Robert Mugabe faces his toughest challenge in 28 years in power.
So far there hasn't been the widespread intimidation of opposition candidates seen in previous elections.
