Zimbabwe: Opposition will hold rallies Sunday following favourable court ruling Sun. June 08, 2008 01:56 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet) Following a favourable court ruling, Zimbabwe's opposition will hold rallies in the capital on Sunday with only weeks to go before its leader faces long-time President Robert Mugabe in a run-off, an official said on Saturday The ruling came a day after the opposition said it had been told that all the party's rallies in the country had been banned indefinitely. Saturday's ruling meant the police ban cannot be enforced, Nqobizitha Mlilo, a spokesman for the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), said. The embattled opposition, however, suffered setbacks elsewhere, including the arrest of a prominent member. Also on Saturday, a government minister was quoted as accusing aid groups of campaigning for the opposition and using money donated by the US, among Mugabe's harshest critics, to destabilise the government. Opposition presidential candidate Morgan Tsvangirai beat Mugabe and two other candidates in the first round of presidential voting on March 29 but did not garner the 50 per cent plus one vote necessary to avoid a run-off, which is set for June 27.-AP News Category: Africa Latest Headlines Latest News Iraqi: Law maker killed in bomb attack ...
