Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai met President Jacob Zuma in South Africa yesterday to seek his protection against the imminent arrest by Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's judicial authorities, Tsvangirai's aides said.
Tsvangirai, who heads the larger faction of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) was seen talking to Zuma at the president's home in Nkandla, KwaZulu-Natal, during an umbondo ceremony yesterday to mark the coming marriage of Zuma's son Edward.
MDC sources said that Tsvangirai had gone to Nkandla to tell Zuma he fears that Zimbabwe's Attorney-General, Johannes Tomana, known to be partial to Mugabe's Zanu-PF, is planning to arrest him on a charge of contempt of court.
This relates to disparaging remarks that Tsvangirai made earlier this month about Zimbabwe's Supreme Court judges who upheld the dismissal of MDC Speaker of Parliament, Lovemore Moyo.
