SAPS accused of 'apartheid tactics' in dispersing protesters at Zim embassy in Pretoria

Pretoria – There were running battles on the streets of Pretoria on Friday as the South African Police Service threw stun grenades and fired rubber bullets at #NotInMyName activists picketing outside the embassy of Zimbabwe in Pretoria.

“You members of the SAPS are dragging us into your internal squabbles. We have proof which shows that were were given permission to gather here and picket. “They do not want this message to be heard. Zimbabweans stood with us during the dark days of apartheid and now it is our turn,” he said.“We are not afraid of being arrested. We have permission to be here and to express our grievances. If they want to arrest us, they can arrest us all.
