The source says Mugabe has been told he is far behind Tsvangirai in preliminary results of presidential elections on Saturday and that there could be an uprising if Mugabe were declared the winner.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
Meanwhile AFP reports that Slovenian Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel – whose country holds the EU’s presidency – on Tuesday called on Mugabe to step down, warning of “a coup d’etat” if he stayed.
“If Mr Mugabe continues, it will be a coup d’etat,” Rupel told journalists after addressing lawmakers at the European Parliament.
“I hope he is on his way out, most Europeans think this way.”
