Ray Nkosi | President Robert Mugabe is meeting members of the New Patriotic Front in Sandton, South Africa, according to uncofirmed reports.

Mugabe who was ousted last November in coup, slipped out of the country early Wednesday for what was described as a “private” visit to South Africa. Mugabe has in recent days shocked many as he has voiced concern at the human rights situation in Zimbabwe a country he presided over for decades, with many suffering brutal rule.

The 94-year-old took a scheduled commercial Air Zimbabwe flight to Johannesburg but there was no information as to the purpose of his visit.

Former minister Savior Kasukuwere a key ally of Mugabe’s was pictured yesterday at an international airport apparently on his way to meet Mugabe in South Africa. – More to follow…
