One of about a dozen Zimbabwean civic activists denied entry to Zambia yesterday by authorities there said to have been acting on instructions from Harare denied allegations that the civil society members were plotting to disrupt ongoing power sharing talks.

Crisis In Zimbabwe coalition spokesman Macdonald Lewanika told reporter Patience Rusere that he and others were heading for a meeting with members of other African civil society groups on political crisis management and how to effect a transition to democracy – but the meeting was canceled after he and the others were barred at the Lusaka airport.
