Morgan Tsvangirai said Saturday his supporters would feel betrayed if he did not face Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe in the runoff.

He addressed reporters in South Africa on Saturday.

Tsvangirai has said previously he won the first round outright and that official figures showing a second round are fraudulent.

Opposition officials and rights activists accuse Mugabe of orchestrating violence against the opposition since the first round on March 29. They also question whether a second round could be free and fair.
