Senior United Nations (UN) officials are preparing for a series of meetings with Zimbabwe's political leaders and UN colleagues dealing with the country's cholera epidemic and food crisis.

The five-strong delegation will meet both President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai during their five-day visit.

Delegation spokes person John Nyaga says the team, led by the UN assistant secretary general for humanitarian affairs, Catherine Bragg, will hold an internal meeting with UN officials working on the ground in Zimbabwe.

Meanwhile, last week Tsvangirai said that reconstructing Zimbabwe could cost as much as US$5bn after a meeting withSouth African President Motlanthe in Cape Town.
