President slams SA court ruling
Takunda Maodza Senior Reporter
PRESIDENT Mugabe has slammed a recent North Gauteng High Court ruling urging South African authorities to probe alleged human rights abuses in Zimbabwe and bring perpetrators before the International Criminal Court for prosecution.
He said the ruling constituted interference and a direct assault on the country’s sovereignty by residual Rhodesian and Apartheid forces in South Africa.
The President urged the African National Congress to deal decisively with the matter.
He made the remarks while officially opening a summit of former Sadc liberation movements in Harare.
“Naturally, as we develop and enact policies to deliver on these promises to our people such as our land reform programmes and the ongoing indigenisation and empowerment programmes here in Zimbabwe, we are targets for regime change.
