HARARE, May 23 (Xinhua) -- The following are the news highlights in Zimbabwe's major media outlets on Wednesday:

--Former Zanu-PF national political commissar and G40 kingpin Saviour Kasukuwere returned to Zimbabwe on Tuesday after spending six months and six days in self-imposed exile.

He fled the country last November alongside other G40 members --Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Zhuwao, who remain in exile. (The Herald)

--Zimbabwean main opposition MDC-T factions led by Thokozani Khupe and Nelson Chamisa will continue using the same party name, symbol and logo until the High Court determines the legitimate successor to the late Morgan Tsvangirai.

Supreme Court judge Justice Paddington Garwe --sitting with Justices Mary Anne Gowora and Antonia Guvava -- on Tuesday referred the matter back to the High Court for determination on who is the legitimate party leader. (The Herald)

--Former Zanu-PF political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere on Tuesday broke his six-month long self-imposed exile and flew back home where he was briefly grilled by State security agents at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport before being set free.

Kasukuwere, who fled the country following former President Robert Mugabe's ouster last November, arrived aboard a South African Airways flight in the company of his wife Barbra around midday. (Newsday)

--Zimbabwe Deputy minister of finance Terence Mukupe has said there is no way those who were behind the military intervention that ousted former President Robert Mugabe, can let MDC-T leader Nelson Chamisa lead Zimbabwe.

Addressing a Zanu-PF cell meeting in Mandara, Harare, on Monday, Mukupe gave the first sign yet that Zanu PF is not prepared to lose the upcoming general elections. (Newsday) Enditem
