War veterans, police on collision course

Defiant war veterans have rescheduled their meeting to March 23, setting themselves on a collision course with both Zanu-PF and the law enforcement agents.

The veterans of the liberation struggle were last week supposed to hold their annual meeting in Harare, but police refused to clear their meeting.

The War Veterans ministry has also distanced itself from the meeting and instead come out with its own date for another indaba that is going to be addressed by President Robert Mugabe.

War veterans were accused of trying to convene a meeting that was allegedly going to endorse a coalition of opposition parties that will face Zanu-PF next year.
