| A POLICE raid on a church in Johannesburg sheltering refugees has drawn sharp protests from civil society and church leaders in South Africa, and has highlighted the humanitarian crisis in President Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe.
On Jan 30 approximately 100 officers of the South African Police Service with the support of Home Affairs ministry officials entered Johannesburg’s Central Methodist Mission, rounding up approximately 1500 Zimbabwean refugees shelter in the building.
