SOUTH African President Cyril Ramaphosa (pictured) has voiced his concern over the deteriorating situation in Zimbabwe that has seen a spike in State-sponsored abductions, arrests and torture of opposition activists and anti-corruption proponents.
Ramaphosa reportedly recently contacted President Emmerson Mnangagwa to register his displeasure after receiving reports that dozens of Zimbabweans had fled their homes in fear of State agents following a massive crackdown last week.
South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC) party secretary-general, Ace Magashule, yesterday said the situation in Zimbabwe, particularly the brutality by State agents on innocent civilians was “uncalled for”, adding Pretoria was now seized with
the matter.
