Harare-Zimbabwe's negotiating parties in the ongoing talks between the country's main political parties failed to reach an agreement in Friday's fresh round of talks in South Africa.
The main opposition's spokesperson Nelson Chamisa confirmed that all parties returned to Harare with no agreement in sight.
Chamisa said: "All the negotiating teams are back. Nothing was achieved in the latest round of engagement in South Africa to break the deadlock. We remain where we were."
The negotiators from the three main political parties, ZANU PF, MDC Tsvangirai and the breakaway faction led by Professor Arthur Mutambara met the facilitator South African President Thabo Mbeki separately on Friday.
Mbeki's spokesperson Mukoni Ratshitanga was quoted by South African media saying dialogue would continue, but declined to give details.
"It is a continuous process, not a single event," Ratshitanga said.
Conclusion to the talks has been stalled over how executive power should be shared by President Robert Mugabe and MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai, who refused to sign an agreement that would have made him prime minister two weeks ago.
Tsvangirai has protested against the proposed deal, saying it did not give him enough executive powers in government.
Patrick Chinamasa who is ZANU PF's chief negotiator was on Sunday quoted by the state media confirming the South Africa visit.
"I can confirm that we went to South Africa for separate bilateral discussions with the facilitator. The meeting was convened because the facilitator wanted to search for a way forward " Chinamasa said.
The MDC has accused Mugabe of flouting a framework agreed by the negotiating parties not to convene parliament or appoint a cabinet.
The veteran ruler, who was last week jeered and heckled by opposition lawmakers as he officially opened parliament, has said he would soon appoint a new government.
"Mugabe is showing no respect for Southern African Development Community (SADC), no respect for the dialogue," said Chamisa, adding that the MDC would lobby the African Union (AU) and the United Nations not to recognise Mugabe as Zimbabwe's president.
"As far as we are concerned, to the extent that the dialogue has not been concluded, there is no legitimate government in Zimbabwe so he should not go to the UN and AU posing as the President of Zimbabwe. We will be taking up this matter with these organisations (UN and AU)," Chamisa added.
