MDC-T activists in the Diaspora are planning protests at all South African embassies worldwide to put pressure on President Jacob Zuma to "straighten up" issues in Zimbabwe's unity government ahead of impending elections.
Organiser of the protests, MDC-T's Den Moyo said the South African embassies would be targeted since the country is the facilitator to the inclusive government.
He said South Africa was a dominant power in Africa and had the
economic muscle to get President Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF to respect
the wishes of the Zimbabwean people.
During protests, a petition would be handed to South African authorities and demonstrations would continue on a monthly basis until the Global Political Agreement (GPA) facilitators heeded their demands.
The demonstrations were against rising political tension and violence in the country, alleged disrespect of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's office by security apparatus, disruption of MDC-T rallies and continued incarceration of MDC-T members.
