(CNN) — Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai canceled his return to Harare from South Africa on Saturday, after receiving information from a “credible source” about a planned assassination, his spokesman said Saturday.

A statement released to CNN by Tsvangirai’s party, the Movement for Democratic Change, said, in part: “We are not in a position to say whether this threat concerns actions of the state or a non-state actor.

“It should be noted that Mr. Tsvangirai is not the only person under threat at the moment. The entire leadership of the MDC, leaders of democratic forces within the country and every Zimbabwean is at risk from this brutal regime.”
