Zimbabwe Cancels all NGO Regsitrations

Zimbabwean authorities have cancelled licences for NGOs in a crackdown on groups accused of planning to oust veteran President Robert Mugabe, state television said on Monday.

"Government has annulled registration certificates of all NGOs in order to sift out those seeking to force regime change in Zimbabwe," the state broadcaster Zimbabwe Television said. "As pro-opposition and Western organisations masquerading as relief agencies continue to mushroom, the government has annulled the registration certificates of all NGOs in order to screen out agents of imperialism from genuine organisations working to uplift the well-being of the poor."
