The Elders, a group formed by former South African President Nelson Mandela, last week had announced plans to visit Zimbabwe. After a story in Zimbabwe’s state-run Herald on Thursday about the visit headlined "come at a later date,” the group reiterated its plans.

Also taking part in the visit starting Saturday are former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and advocate Graca Machel.
