Based on my own analysis of the House of Assembly voting patterns which I applied to each of the 60 contested Senate seats I come up with the following:

MDC (Tsvangirai) - 29 seats
MDC (Mutumbara) - 5 seats
ZANU-PF - 26 seats

Thus if these projections hold true, then the two MDC factions will have a coalition of 34 seats or an 8 seat margin in the Senate. But that does not account for 33 appointed seats which would be determined by who becomes the new president, hopefully I think it will be Morgan Tsvangirai.
