The epidemic of the water-borne disease has been fuelled by the collapse of Zimbabwe's water, sanitation and health systems.
Aid workers say the focus of the cholera outbreak has now moved to rural parts of the country.
South Africa insisted the MDC had said it would join a unity government with President Robert Mugabe next month, despite the opposition's denial that it had agreed to do so at a regional summit this week.
