against Ndaba Nyoni (pictured), the ZANU-PF chairperson for Johannesburg who attacked
him with a piece of glass. Police at Johannesburg Central Police John
Vorster have opened a file under case number 96/2011. Crisis
This clearly was an attempt by ZANU-PF to divert attention from its
failings and from important SADC business of crafting a clear roadmap for
Zimbabwe, but it has failed. Ndaba Nyoni was not invited to the Crisis in
Zimbabwe Coalition press conference, but demanded entry and tried to cause
confusion. We rejected totally any attempts by Ndaba to smear civic groups
or members of the MDC who attended the press conference by blaming them
for ZANU-PF violence exported from Zimbabwe.
We are aware that ZANU-PF will make further attempts to disrupt our
'Zimbabwe Footprints of Abuse Photo Exhibition' to be held tomorrow at the
Hilton Hotel, Ballroom 1, from 10am. We appeal to the South African Police
to deal with these criminal elements who thrive on chaos, lawlessness and
confusion. We are not deterred, our peaceful campaigns and our March and
Rally on Saturday in Sandton will go ahead as planned.
We thank members of the South African Police and Hotel Security who
reacted swiftly to restore order and who quickly ejected him from the
hotel.
Meanwhile, we welcome with great appreciation words of solidarity and
support by the Swaziland Democracy Campaign.
