ZIM VETS STORM GOVERNMENT OFFICES

ZIMBABWEAN Vice-President Joseph Msika has criticised self-styled Zimbabwe independence war veterans who have stormed six local government offices in the last two weeks, driving out workers suspected of supporting the opposition. “Listen, you are losing direction. You are now closing government and council offices, beating up workers and chasing them away. You are getting lost, bafana (boys),” state media quoted Msika as saying. The veterans have invaded hundreds of white-owned farms and last year led violent campaigning for parliamentary elections. – Reuters
