Harare – Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe’s ruling party has accused some non-governmental organisations, labour bodies and South Africa’s DA of plotting to unseat his government with the help of the US and Britain.

In its manifesto for the March 31 parliamentary vote, Zanu-PF said western "sponsored phoney NGOs have been campaigning for the opposition MDC". It said "the same (western) forces have infiltrated the upper echelons of the ZCTU (Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions) alongside . . . Cosatu, against the Zimbabwean people".

Zanu-PF said Cosatu and the ZCTU were co-ordinated by the "right-wing CIA-funded International Confederation of Free Trade Unions". The DA, which is planning a fact-finding mission to Zimbabwe, was "the political home to racist white South Africa" and was also intent on "regime change". – Sapa-AFP
