An estimated 500 people were peacefully rallying on the steps of the Union Buildings in Pretoria this afternoon to ask for action on the crisis in Zimbabwe, when police arrived and asked them to leave. After the group refused to leave the grounds, police opened fire with rubber bullets, injuring 7 people, who were taken away in ambulances. “The reaction from the police was completely over the top. People were singing and dancing when police started firing rubber bullets. This type of intolerance is part of the culture which must be changed – not only here in South Africa – but across the SADC region,” said Richard Smith from the Zimbabwe Solidarity Forum Secretariat.
