Zimbabwe's power-sharing talks are making significant progress, says South Africa, which has been mediating the crisis negotiations.
Senior members of Zimbabwe's security forces have travelled to South Africa to meet the mediators, reports say.
On Wednesday, the two parties issued a call for an end to post-poll violence.
A deadline to complete the talks passed on Monday without any news of a deal.
South African President Thabo Mbeki has been mediating between the country's ruling and opposition parties after Robert Mugabe was re-elected in June.
The South African talks have been held at a secret location and are subject to a media blackout.
Mr Mugabe won a run-off presidential election in June after Mr Tsvangirai pulled out because of a campaign of violence against his supporters.
Last month, the two rivals agreed to hold crisis talks after meeting for the first time in a decade.
